We have to vote these wreckers out.

New Zealand First, the Party of Women™️

About halfway down the page this gets very juicy and I rather hope Luxo gets hounded out of office for this (but he won't) #nzpol

“Regular people don’t get to give secret documents and have backroom meetings with the Prime Minister and then have the law changed in their favour” - Chloe Swarbrick. #NzPol

A previous Chief Archivist investigated a previous Prime Minister over record keeping failures. The current Chief Archivist should be investigating ministers’ compliance with the Public Records Act. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/pms-text-...

And then lied about it... When will we hold those losers to account?

David Seymour's new Ministry of Regulation cost ~$20 million every single year - that's $200 million over a decade & 4 times bigger than the Productivity Commission Seymour was also given $153 million for private schools which he gave to Jamie Beaton, John Key & FSU's Jonathan Ayling etc

AI and now drones Does this coalition party of old misfits know what they are? #nzpol

Perhaps someone should tell Nicola Willis.

$50m/yr is a tiny 'saving', so we know these changes are motivated by hate. #NzPol

Ukraine’s fight is our fight, their cause is our cause, and their independence will be our victory. To the Ukrainian communities in Canada and around the world celebrating their culture, identity, and traditions this Vyshyvanka Day: Canada stands with you.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis and one of her plans for saving her Budget. My #cartoon today #NZpol #PublicService

David Attenborough has spent years sounding the alarm on trawling, and he’s right: bottom trawling is one of the most destructive practices in our oceans. Alaska needs leaders willing to stand up to the trawling lobby and protect our fisheries before it’s too late.

But somehow, according to Willis, the state tenants rather than the private landlords are the lotto winners.

Bernard Hickey "This is a clear income transfer from state tenants to private landlords of ~$500 million and this is on top of the $12.5b tax breaks that have been handed to landlords in the last 2 years, and that was taken from the Climate Emergency Response Fund" www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5u0...

Maiki Sherman won Political Reporter of the Year #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

I think I mighta just got inaugurated as President Business.

🧵”We were tortured. 180 people were systematically bashed and beaten. People had broken ribs, were sexually assaulted, tased in the face, and injected with unknown sedatives.” Global Sumud Flotilla activist Juliet Lamont described severe abuse by Israeli occupation forces after

Anyone used Wise to make a transfer overseas? And did you find the physical card handy the card? Thanks #kikorangi

Pharmac to impose barriers for Māori and Pacific people to access medicine. More postcode requirements w blood tests for patients in areas w/o labs. Seymour puts more #RedTape in way of health! #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/... Pharmac wants $ for diet drugs instead www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/...

Can someone get in touch with them to raise money so they don't collapse????? Also very typical that a government that doesn't want people to have rights is defunding the place that tells people what their rights are

Again. They're doing this again. The accommodation supplement is a subsidy to landlords that already costs us $2 billion annually. There's a sorry history here ...

If people are evicted from social housing where will they go? Private sector rentals may not be affordable or accessible? Will older or disabled NZers pushed out of homes be on streets facing Move-On orders or committing crimes to get into jail for food + a bed? #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Have they done a thorough proof of concept for AI in public service? No. But are they using it successfully themselves? Also no. But do they have clear plans for how AI will be deployed? No. This article would be hilarious if it wasn't devastating. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

This is the back on track Winston Peters, David Seymour and Chris Luxon support. #nzpol

Cat ear beanies added to the website, or at least some of them. More coming, but the colour turned out wonky in some of the photos - instead of being purple and blue, they'll just look blue - that sort of thing! pocomoto.co.nz/product/cat-...

Veteran NZ journalist Richard Harman -

David Seymour's comments about not trying to influence RNZ's staffing decisions are slightly undermined by his comments about trying to influence RNZ's staffing decisions

Israel never stopped killing in Gaza. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These clowns will ensure the Coalition gets back in. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

It's wearying.

James L. Bruno’s Substack article is a must-read.

2. Keeping money circulating in our domestic economy - i.e. preventing cash draining offshore (net), or being gathered up as savings by a handful of rentiers who then consume all the resources we need to keep us all well (see challenge 1)! [Ends]

So, next time someone tells you we haven't got enough money to pay for Super in the future remember that our challenge is not fiscal. Govt can vote on how much to spend. The two key challenges are: 1. Making sure that we have the real resources (labour, materials, energy, etc) to buy, and... [11/n]

... Govt spending does not depend on taxation. In fact, taxation depends on Govt spending ffs. The cash that Govt has spent into the economy but not taxed back yet is called the 'Govt Debt'. Govt swaps some of their cash debt for Bond debt when they sell bonds. The ghouls call this borrowing! [4/n]

Super affordability discourse has me mad again. There's a whopping lie that ruins any sensible discussion of what 'we can afford' as a country. The lie was immortalised in this Thatcher quote: "There is no such thing as public money, there is only taxpayers' money." Disprovable in minutes... [🧵 1/n]

Here’s how the economy actually works.

#nzpol Curious (being polite) that an email tiff between the PM and the FM is seen as causing waymore strife than NZ supporting illegal war that includes the bombing of schoolchildren😥.

The right are going after Green candidate Michel Mulipola as though he'd hit someone with a bed leg. #nzpol #VoteGreen #flipitGreen #TeTaiai #ProtectPapatuanuku #nzgreenparty

Winston Peters' release of Iran war emails 'no mistake', former Foreign Minister Phil Goff. Not when NZ First is eating up National Party support Unpopular PM supports illegal war on Iran and Syria & wanted to drag NZ in. #nzpol #nzpolitics

a true #seagull politician #nzpol Flies in, makes noise, shits on everyone, flies off...

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Mōrena e te whanāu, another beautiful still and mild morning at Cheltenham Beach, perfect conditions for these swimmers and their kayak escort. Kia pa tō rā!

Luxon wanted to fully support Iran war? What an asshole #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Imagine if our best engineering minds were working on stuff like this www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkVPRk85/

Across the country, ICE is converting warehouses into immigrant detention centers. This story is a great look at how locals are using environmental regulations and land use restrictions to stop them. boltsmag.org/ice-warehous...

Brian Tamaki's black shirted followers match though Auckland (a city where 1 in 3 people were born overseas) carrying a banner reading "stop mass immigration" They yell "God! King! Country!"

If Winston doesn't want to work with racists, why is he in the same party as Shane Jones and why is he in coalition with Paul Goldsmith? #nzpol

bigger, more detailed story here in the guardian than I've seen in any NZ media why is that? 🤔🤔
