NZDF falls in line with US space plans - offering up Māori land to launch satellites and take us into their wars.

Funny, isn’t it, how this government can always find the money when they want to… www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

the auckland headquarters of NZ tech company rakon were broken into and vandalised today, due to rakon being the sole supplier for a key component in US-made "smart bombs" currently being used in the gaza genocide

Huge mihi to all of you beautiful brave people who showed up to stand against genocide, to stand with Palestinians, and to stand in solidarity with #PalestineAction. All photos by Teirangi Klever. Thanks @defendourjuries.bsky.social for all your work, we send love and solidarity from Aotearoa NZ

Peace Action Wellington completely opposes the opening of a US FBI office in Aotearoa New Zealand. The decision by the NZ government to allow a foreign country’s police force to operate here is terrifying.

URGENT ACTION ALERT: Protect Protest: reject the Terrorism Suppression Act Today, we learned that the MoJ is consulting selected ‘stakeholders’ about major changes to the TSA. Newsroom reports: 'Planned terrorism law overhaul ‘slippery slope to authoritarianism' newsroom.co.nz/2025/07/22/p...

Wellington STILL standing up for a #FreePalestine.

The NZ police use these. last weekend they were firing them at boy-racers in Levin.

Awesome crew from Just Defence and Stop AUKUS were out on the streets in Pōneke/Wellington today to oppose the Australian Navy marching in a bizarre military parade through town. We don't want their wars or weapons. F*ck off back to Canberra. #No2AUKUS #FreeIndependentPacific #NoWarWithChina

Massive noise demo outside the Beehive Tonight #FreePalestine

Wait, this is _another_ allegation about McSkimming, seperate from the criminal one and the inappropriate staff relationship one and the objectionable material one? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Despite the horrific weather in Pōneke tonight and the hard-to-reach spot, we turned up in mass to tell the USS Blue Ridge to f*ck off out of Aotearoa and the South Pacific.

Opposing the US Navy ship in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington yesterday. We stand implacably opposed to US militarism, and its roles in conflicts around the globe including Palestine, Yemen, Syria and Sudan. The US is the greatest threat to world peace. #EndTheEmpire #Decolonise #FreePalestine

Media Statement: Fund healthcare not warfare The government has announced an additional $1 billion of military spending today on top of $12 billion of spending already announced over the next four years. These plans will take New Zealand’s annual military budget to approximately 2% of GDP.

Israeli impunity to bomb and murder people anywhere in the world will not stop until the US turns off the flow of weapons and money. It bombs a concentration camp called Gaza, it bombs Syria, it bombs Lebanon, it bombs Iran, it bombs in the middle of the Mediterranean.

Despite the horrific weather in Pōneke, the passion for justice and freedom in Palestine has not dampened. We were out last night for the monthly Aotearoa Health Care Workers Vigil at Te Puna Waiora to mourn the martyrs massacred while trying to save the lives of others by Israeli death squads

Today is May Day, and we send our solidarity to all striking doctors, nurses and health care assistants across Aotearoa NZ. #solidarityforever #UnionPower #PeoplePower #HealthCareCrisis

Just what we don't need...https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/new-zealand-air-force-set-up-space-squadron-it-grows-importance-2025-04-30/ #KeepSpaceForPeace #Spacewashing

This is one of the best videos about why you should not talk to the police. It is to protect you. The person to talk to is your lawyer.

Lest we forget, as head of the Engineers Union, Andrew Little supported the NZ deployment of troops to Iraq. #LabourIsNotLeft

Let me be blunt: fuck this government of greedy trolls

PAY THEM! PAY THEM! PAY THEM! #StopPrivatisingHealth

No Nazis and Never Again! Peace Action Wellington and friends had a great day at our peace picnic - talking justice in Palestine, recognition of the Armenian genocide, the Surafend massacre, decolonisation and so much more.

Join us for our peace picnic tomorrow on the theme of "Never Again" - we will have food, music and kōrero from 12:30pm at Pukeahu National War Memorial (on the Taranaki St grassy side). #LestWeRemember #WarIsARacket #Surafend #FreePalestine #DismantleEmpire

"NZ does not recognise the Armenian Genocide, despite a significant push from activists and the Armenian diaspora. In fact, the last century of commemorations has increasingly been marked by synchronisation between the historical memories of NZ and Türkiye" johnnyfilmo.substack.com/p/the-gallip...

Quite possibly the only countries in the world that are boasting about growing ties with the US at the moment are El Salvador and... New Zealand.

Take action against military spending. We want hopitals, schools and homes, not war, death and destruction our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/fr...

We are super excited for a family-friendly Anzac Day Peace Picnic to uphold a demand for genuine peace and justice now. Bring your peace placards or banners, flags, picnic blankets and friends. Friday, 25 April 12:30pm at Pukeahu, hosted with @ponekeantifa.bsky.social, Justice for Palestine + more!

These bastards need to be stopped - they're killing our children's futures

The face of a man who is killing our kid's future

8 of 9 boot camp victims have allegedly reoffended #nzqt No wonder the government suddenly wants everything about boot camps to be secret.

You can’t make this shit up. Wow. #WeSaidNeverAgain

If we could have half the outraged energy about America bombing Yemen as we do about it being leaked, that would be great.

Luxon on homelessness: "we have taken 2000 kids out of hotel rooms" yeah, and thrown them on the street. #nzqt
