National plan on bringing back matching employer contributions to KiwiSaver, and credit where it's due, this is a good thing. HOWEVER These fucks took this away under John Key. They are merely putting back a policy they got rid of. We'd be richer now if we kept it how it started. #nzpol

You know what would "disembowel" Otago's economy more than closing farms? More floods and natural disasters devastating local farms and infrastructure caused by climate change from us not divesting from fossil fuel. Fuck you, Shane, you anti-woke prick. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

Let this be a good omen for today. apnews.com/article/dick...

Just a polite reminder that Labour had the mandate and the political capital in 2020 to implement radical tax reform, but Jacinda Ardern ruled it out because she was trying to appease to RWers that would never vote for her anyway. Let's stop revising history and pretending she was great. #nzpol

Don't let these articles confuse you about STV vs FPP. STV is designed so that people can rank candidates that are the less of several evils. This is a good thing. It means we aren't wasting votes when we rank ideal candidates #1 but also rank centrists #13. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

Let's be perfectly clear: there is nothing wrong with the government borrowing during trying times if that money is being used wisely on infrastructure and to keep the people safe, warm and healthy. However that's not what's happening. It went to landlords to make their wallets thicker. #nzpol

I'll make you even more mad... Labour support these changes. #nzpol

I sure as heck wasn't proud of this decision, but now that our hairless leader says that we should be proud of it, I'm damned ashamed of it. Palestine's recognition shouldn't come down to whether Hamas exists or not. Disgusting. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/nationa...

So Tim Pool was just flat out coping when he made up this elaborate story that Trump isn't a paedophile. Occam's Razor, everyone: the simplest explanation is the answer: Trump is a paedophile.

I don't know if it's intentionally dishonest, but headlines like this imply it's a trade union behind this. Nope. It's the fucking TPU (not a real union) bullying candidates to be more evil. Fuck off, TPU. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

The "Stop Three Waters" campaign was easily the most successful operation in racism in living memory. They managed to convince people to accept far more expensive rates and infrastructure all in order to keep brown people from having a seat at the table. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/regions/nort...

BREAKING NEWS: Puppet gets angry at it's puppeteer for lying about localism. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

This is all Three Waters fault! Oh wait no... It's the opposite. It's because we didn't implement Three Waters and we went with "Local Water Done Well". Who saw this coming? #nzpol #blamelabour www.odt.co.nz/regions/nort...

He'll just mirror what Starmer has(n't) done in the UK. This is why it's absolutely imperative that we stack as many @tepaatimaori.bsky.social and @nzgreenparty.bsky.social MPs as we can Labour are just going to do nothing #nzpol

Nicola Willis a fucking ghoul. When asked about cost of living STILL rising under her watch, she plays the blame Labour game and goes on about inflation under Labour. Here's a free Econ course: inflation is around 2.5% right now. That means prices are still rising on your watch. #nzpol

"...a long list of information including their child's address, date of birth, name, and their own authority to act on their child's behalf. Because it was so hard to prove their address and date of birth. I guess conservatives really do know nothing about their kids. www.odt.co.nz/news/nationa...

$2500 a day to have a guy present a business case, all because the project has been delayed too long. Here's a bit of advice for free, Peewee Herman: it's delayed because you delayed it. What an absolute shambles. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Don't let the headlines mislead you. Webb is opposing yet ANOTHER Countdown being built. Countdown has built dozens of new stores in the last decade. Their prices haven't gone down as a result. Adding ANOTHER Countdown will not make food any cheaper. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

The flow on effect is enormous. All the morons that voted against it...and now we have S&P downgrading councils across NZ meaning that the cost of borrowing has just gone up for councils. Net result...increased rates on top of the current increases. This is what National, ACT and NZ First have done.

Not to be the one who says "I told you so", but there were a lot of signage on farms leading up to the 2023 election about "Stop Three Waters". Well... this is what happens when you leave the councils to handle this. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/regions/sout...

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more. And you know what? I’m still mad as hell. I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

I am no religious in any sense. But when I worked in food production, I respected my customers enough that if they asked me if something was halal or not, I'd tell the truth about what is and isn't. This is despicable. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Corruption is the only explanation for this going ahead. Otago and Auckland both can increase their capacity, but the government refuses. www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

"We have concerns that Wellington Council can't fund their water infrastructure, after we killed off Labour's plan to help councils with funding water infrastructure & didn't implement an adequate replacement"

This is a really well done video on the stakes of this election youtu.be/6bTpbDL5dcg?... To those who say "they've been telling us this is the most important election of our lives since 2016" - yeah no shit. We've been steadily watching the GOP get increasingly fascistic while many don't care.

We had a Labour Government with an absolute majority that behaved like it was tied to a coalition agreement, now we have a National led coalition Government behaving like each party has an absolute majority.😱 How about we reject both of those shitty options next elections? #Green-Māori-Labour #nzpol
