Good question; Why did they hide this critically important & fiscally relevant information? 🤨 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #WastefulSpending #CoalitionOfCorruption #ToitūTeTiriti #TangataTiriti #Aotearoa #NZ substack.com/@mountaintui...

This bit I put up on my way to take my kid to the playground has done weird numbers completely unasked so now I’m going to actually request a signal boost, purely because Posting would be the funniest possible way to get a comms job #nzpol #kikorangi

Slashed Matariki funding threatens to leave communities in the dark

Matariki Hunga Nui - Calling Me Home by Troy Kingi, Rob Ruha and Kaylee Bell Mānawatia a Matariki 🤗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtBH...

Drones and stars will be shining above the Rotorua lakefront at 8pm this Thursday and Friday evenings as part of the anticipated Aronui Indigenous Arts Festival Matariki show.

This year's Matariki theme is Matariki mā Puanga: celebrating together. It's a beautiful theme of inclusion, diversity, and celebrating Matariki together. Aotearoa has a beautiful, diverse community, and now is a perfect time to celebrate it.

I'm not the first to point this out but this stuff is in my wheelhouse. ✅️Defending your proposed bill. ❌️Singling out a specific academic in the style of a wanted poster with "victim on the day" on it. This is only done this way to (1) silence experts (2) drive harassment & complaints against them

Good morning everyone! It is officially TWO WHOLE YEARS since Sex Self-ID became available in Aotearoa New Zealand! And not a single person has been harmed, bothered, or inconvenienced by it. TERFs are all big fat losers and liars.

The ghouls are pushing to slice bits off the basic NZ state pension again. This article is a classic of the type - sleights of hand a-plenty. Let's pick it apart. First, note that public spending on pensions is loads higher in Denmark than in meanass NZ, which... [🧵1/n]

☎️ Wait, there’s now a hotline for reporting road cones? Here’s Māori TikTok creator The Conchurversial Kuzzie putting PM Christopher Luxon’s declaration of war on traffic cones into perspective, using his trademark humour and bite to ask where the governments priorities really lie. #nzpol 🎯

The continued Privileges debate is at 3pm ❤️🤍🖤 Everyone’s fixated on punishment length, privilege, civility The haka wasn’t the problem, it was the spark🔥 It moved people here & around the world.l Unapologetically Māori. Unapologetically tangata Te Tiriti That’s what liberation looks like #NZPol

“there were many similar points made across most of the submissions” If a bill is total shit most people will make submissions outlining THE SAME THING, the bill is shit. It’s not rocket science Davey & it ain’t no bot either, it’s fucking Democracy 🙄🤦‍♀️ #NotMyDPM #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

NZ Herald suggested this in a Jan 10th article, where the phrase “it’s possible” was repeated serval times, with zero confirmation that this actually happened. The article was regurgitated by RNZ the next day. I’m so tired of this crap. It’s dangerous. Not to mention it’s bad journalism. #nzpol

After a rousing rendition of the anti-Māori anthem, “That’s Crap, I Thought We Were Over That Now”… My Stuff #cartoon today #ToitūTeTiriti #NZpol #DonMcGlashan #JuliaDeans

There's a word for this, or several, isn't there? waateanews.com/2025/06/02/o...

I would like to see the media do an equivalent story for every honours list. Because honouring donors has the same stench. www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

Worth highlighting how the (new) Deputy PM instigates, inspires, & normalises racist, & extremely violent discourse. sanjanah.wordpress.com/2025/01/16/d... from this year, and sanjanah.wordpress.com/2023/08/19/h... from 2023. Of course, Chris Lynch makes no mention of this in interview.

The new coshop.nz website is up. It’s way more rushed than I kinda hoped and I cut some corners there but finally have some local producers on there so we’re actually going to be doing farm-to-fork! 65c/kg 🧅 , $1.30 lettuce, fresh herbs etc 👀

Opinions, fine. Being a dickhead in public? No. "Ministers are expected to act lawfully and behave in a way that upholds, and is seen to uphold, the highest ethical and behavioural standards. This includes exercising a professional approach and good judgement in their interactions with the public...

Every piece Verity Johnson writes lately speaks to me deeply, I've criticised her and I will always hold a grudge for the dumb Jacinda we are breaking up with you piece, but this here again is the one bit you should read if no other today #NZPol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

NEW: Nature's Cathedral tee and I'm actually so stoked, I have a new partnership with an NZ-owned apparel co-op, with fitted/femme tees, sizes thru 5XL! Also, $3 from each of these tees will go to Forest & Bird to support conservation. <3 Pre order here: pepperraccoon.com/products/nat...

Labour has nothing to lose by joining the Greens in creating a wealth tax. JUST DO IT. Free Dental & massive funding increases for public services. So long as they don’t let the press hijack the messaging, I think this alone could win them the election next year. #nzpol #Kikorangi

Looking forward to seeing Hana Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke's new member's bill "Members of Parliament (Duty to Uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi) Legislation Bill” Te Pire mō Te Here ki Te Tiriti o Waitangi receive as much media attention as the Treaty Principles Bill did.

We submitted our personal statements to Privileges Committee, asserting our truth. We expect to be made an example of but we showed our full truth as Māori. If the price for that is political discipline, we wear it with mana. Firm in our tikanga with dignity, with whakapapa and with purpose.#nzpol

What Māorification would do: 1) honour & protect the environment 2) ensure kids don't go hungry 3) place value on the work of women 4) include debate in all discussion 5) ensure we are housed 6) ensure medical & emotional care 7) say thank you for labour & support 8) celebrate every moment #NZPol

Personally I am very pro the Māorification of New Zealand #nzpol

“Our PM says if Te Reo is used, he will call it out. Right, what then you racist wanker? Are you planning to hit them with a ruler? Like the ‘good old days’? This man is not fit to lead our country.” #nzpol

Words fail me. I cannot find words to express my disgust for our ignorant arrogant PM who thinks a centuries old, globally respected cultural expression is “mucking about”

Hipkins is blowing it again. The injustice of the Privileges Committee recommendation does affect all of us. It’s not politicians talking about themselves. I want Labour standing up with a strong stance against injustice today, not brushing it under the carpet as ‘politician stuff’ #nzpol

Axes of quiet rebellion: - Be Māori/Queer/Trans/Pacifica… as visibly as you can, leverage your privilege - Speak your reo, especially in conservative white spaces - Prioritise marginalised peoples, accessibility matters! - Refuse to interact with racists/biggots - Show your disgust at greed #nzpol

#ProtectPayEquity Join us at 1pm on Parliament lawn this Thursday 22 May to stand up for pay equity! #NZPol www.facebook.com/events/13771...

Every bloody time, it’s so disappointing. Labour let themselves get pulled right by National & co - who never have the best interests of all NZers front and centre - and attack the Greens for quite reasonable policies that would genuinely mean a better NZ for everyone.

This shit is just petty. Fuck the Bish, Luxon, and his entire Govt. www.teaonews.co.nz/2025/05/17/i... One of the lasting things that the Luxon Govt will be remembered for will be that it was the most racist Govt in modern history. #NZPol

“The Regulatory Standards Bill will be finalised and introduced to the House tomorrow. It proposes far-reaching neoliberal reform in line with ACT Party ideology. Its objective, as Prof Jane Kelsey explains here, “is to bind governments forever to the neoliberal logic of economic freedom.” #nzpol

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606... The Waitangi Tribunal has more support than this government acknowledges. It won't be put out to pasture like some want or believe. The Taniwha Genie is out. #WaitangiTribunal #NzPol #Genie #TamaPotaka #Taniwha #Maori #Māori

Interesting they’re only suspending them now when it happened in November, I guess they have some stuff they want to pass this week and don’t want them to interfere with it 🤔

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Judith Collins says the TPM haka was a sad day for Parliament. Know what was a sad day for Parliament? Sneaking through legislation to stifle pay claims for low-paid women under urgency #nzpol
