Who's Your Favourite Jedi (Wrong Answer Only) so close....sigh

Exactly, I bet the insurance council has a lot to say!, just like how the insurance council recognises flood risk from climate change. #fuckthecoalition #nzpol #onetermgovernment

This #nzpol this!

There may have been "a million stories in the naked city" but this was not one of them, however let me tell you about... When we lived in Southland there were a lot of retail & hospitality jobs that had artificially suppressed wages. #nzpol No1 reason was the big lie it's cheaper to live there 1/3

#nzpol I feel so much disdain & disgust for this Coalition. So they don't want to recognise Palestine as it's own sovereign territory, why is that a justification for starving the Palestinian people to death? I think everyone of them should be made to visit Palestine & then look us in the eye

#nzpol yup this is what "rich and sorted" looks like which is pretty much a mirror image of "elite and entitled"

#nzpol an interesting insight about the Disney/Jimmy Kimmel and Tesla/Elon Musk debacles is that right now power & money are inextricably entwined & when we the consumer threaten the flow of the money we regain a measure of the power

This applies here too #nzpol & to #auspol as well The more we allow wealth & power to accumulate at the top the worse off the lower 3/4 of the population are. The money from our rents & our food & more are going to the top tier & were left trying to subsist on lower wages & part time work.

So there's why Trump is so anti UN in a nutshell 🤷 You know someone's a narcissist when....

#nzpol If you don't agree with using AI to read submissions or how some select committees are shortening the time for making submissions or aren't treating all submissions equally then this is the submission for you! Huh they gave a closing date but not a time www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Let's play "Spot the narcissist"

#nzpol #NZ #NeoLiberal #libertarian acolyte Douglas wrings hands while sniffling "but it was never supposed to be done this way" never understanding that as far as the billionaire class are concerned "yes it was, you just weren't privy to the full manifesto #puppet" #trickledown ? #feckoff

A bit rough around the Nelson foreshore this morning. #weather Excuse the swears 🤭

#nzpol this Coalition is the varroa mite deliberately hollowing out our democracy They have purposely broken our economy & our public infrastructure to push their neo liberal/libertarian economic policy of privatisation The "ineptitude" is a mask to their purpose share.google/tGX7AXOKZHzL...

And so say all of us

#nzpol #usapol #trumpsterdive Lest we forget why #jimmykimmel & #stephencolbert are being muzzled, it's because for the #american #billionaires TOO MANY A TRUE WORD IS SPOKEN IN JEST Late-night shows address Jimmy Kimmel suspension | AP News share.google/j2njO2qtPX6c... #speakup #truthspeech

The thing is all this(waves arms) & taking the money from pay equity, running down our public health, public housing, public service has set back our economy for maybe decades. Small to medium businesses can't start overnight, & they're the majority of employers & use their properties as collateral

Good luck with using ChatGPT it's still doesn't believe that Carlie Kirk is dead....yeah it's in the denial stage of grief 🙄

#nzpol I woke up this morning with this song in my head. youtu.be/5ivKzieP9ZU?... please read the Alts for the story behind the song & then think about what this government is doing to our healthcare & the impacts on all of us when we're at our most vulnerable ❤️

#nzpol Chippie & #nzlabour need this post, There is no center between fascism and democracy The centre is for the apologists trying to justify or ignore why people are living on the streets & children are going hungry Labour get back to the left where your party was born Don't forget your roots

#AI #nzpol I just had a "chat" with ChatGPT and it told me multiple times that Charlie Kirk hasn't died 😳 Is this the second coming or " oh no say it ain't so" AI is not a reliable tool for anything Check next post ⬇️ Yeah I logged "an issue"

Wow #nzpol just as well I can't be fired from being the caravan's "chief cook and bottle washer" You know you're living through an era of fascism when.... After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts share.google/uBWLpg8GHjbp...

#nzpol not saying #briantamaki is #aotearoa #newzealand 's #charliekirk equal but Tamaki's hate fueled rhetoric covers same talking points of religious intolerance, racism, violence & oppression we ignore him at our peril Dr Paul Spoonley & Dr @sanjanah.bsky.social have spoken of his cult leadership

Courtesy of @seanfaywolfe.bsky.social A reminder of some of the rhetoric favoured by Charlie Kirk that Seymour says should be protected. Freedom of speech doesn't equate to freedom from consequence, consequence is just a natural outcome of our choices #nzpol Be aware of what politicians support

The old "plausible deniability" ploy "Sure I'd like/want/pushing for/advised "insert current topic" but as you can see my hands are tied, we don't have the necessary "infrastructure, options, budget, policy" at this time. Code for "nup not happening cos that is counter to our preferred policy"

100% agree I have 0 respect for Silicon-John so I guess I'm in the -% for Luxon? I think the thing is in 2010-2015 no politician ever would have thought it "acceptable" to say out loud "I get it I'm sorted..." and be "comfortable" with things that should make most people uncomfortable #nzpol

Mon Rovîa Heavy Foot #nzpol no they're never gonna keep us all down youtu.be/vyXccqTlhoI?...

Well done Oriini Kaipara, well done Te Pati Māori. I'm not saying I'm dancing on the political temporary graves of Hannah Tamaki and Kelvyn Alp, but I'm not saying I'm not either 😏

Right versus wrong I guess you have to want the "greatest good for the greatest number" for it to be considered "right"? If that's not your political aim then I guess you get to ignore it and sleep at night knowing you're "right" #nzpol youtube.com/shorts/1Zhgp...

It's worth remembering that neo liberal economic acolytes i.e. #NZI #Atlas say that the reason the "theory" has not succeeded so far is because they were never able to put ALL the policies in place This Coalition has put in more policies than any other & we #nzpol are reaping the supposed "success"

Imagine being part of an anti-woke coalition government, in an economy that's supposedly driven by farming but it's own policies contribute to the unaffordability of meat & dairy #nzpol for most of the population Stay woke Aotearoa, eat your vegetables, bypass the supermarket #taxtherich

Do we need "more competition" in homewares & furnishings #nzpol honestly? I think Luxon's new favourite buzz word is competition & he's latched on to it like it will save his sorry arse. I'm nominating Luxon for the kNob-bell end prize for (check notes) "announcing stuff"

Noam Chomsky wrote this 32yrs ago in 1993 & if neo liberal economic theory was supposed to have achieved anything more than what we have now it would have #nzpol #taxwealth The New Global Economy, by Noam Chomsky (Excerpted from The Prosperous Few and the Restless Many) share.google/5gbl1qcw4Ito...

Freaky I thought I'd seen a similar map before.... #notonazis #stopimitatingfiction

#nzpol this applies here as per NZF filling their dance card with lobbyist donations

Just came to my attention #nzpol from FB that someone has put in an application to hold the permit to fossick & mine 47 HECTARES of Gemstone beach just out of Orepuki Southland This is a beautiful place & we loved taking visitors new to Southland there. There's a template to email attached to pic 👇

#nzpol sometimes all the political tomfuckery gets too much for me so I retreat to read or listen to music So this clip is for all the Fathers & sons out there or people who know some Fathers & sons Powerful lyrics in the Alt of attached pic Now go say hi to your Dad youtu.be/h6lhSOzsjMw?...

Stephen King's Charlotte's Web

Stephen King's The VERY Hungry Caterpillar

Yet this Government will never be investigated for their misspending, their self serving policies that virtually amount to insider trading, their bowing to the oil & tobacco lobbyists, their mismanagement of the economy, no we save that for Governments that try to protect us from a pandemic #nzpol

So #nzpol how many counterproductive changes has this government made now.... Ferries Emergency Housing Health Education Police Public Housing Employment Public Service Austerity budgets Tax Cuts

An example of the hypocrisy & self serving nature of Trump's presidency that ex Prime Minister John Key said he would've voted for because that's what the self serving do #nzpol apnews.com/article/char... Charles Kushner - Wikipedia share.google/mAX9U0uUrjDa...

Oh #nzpol look what we have to look forward to under this Government's preferred far right ideologically theory driven economy & ecology raping policies based upon the American success Expect health insurance prices to rise next year, brokers and experts say | AP News share.google/gAqtIjf5mrEB...

Hey Winston, didn't you say something about you wouldn't allow New Zealand to be harmed longterm by any National/ACT policies well from all the homeless people it's time for you to step up and stop this government causing long-term harm to the most vulnerable in our society!

So #nzpol can anyone tell me why Don McGlashan hasn't been made a knight yet for his service to Aotearoa New Zealand music & for telling Bishflap to "shut up you dickhead" I heard this on the car radio & thought how we need this song & Don McGlashan more than ever youtu.be/2HVogejKx_c?...

#nzpol we know this, we live this everyday but we've still got politicians in Aotearoa NZ on $300,000 + pedalling this "theory" & people voting for it thinking somehow "they'll" be the ones to get on to the top tier, it's like a fricken pyramid scheme people. Look at the results not the promises.

Shame we voted in a government that just doesn't care.

It was always about breaking good governance, evidence based policy & being racist. Never forget, never forgive, never vote for these asshats again. We now have farmers free to contaminate our waterways, our groundwater & through that our drinking water.....what water reforms #nzpol?
