nz politicians losing their mid about 'lolly scrambles' and the lollies are called things like "effective cancer screening" and "clean water"

You can smell the methane on their breath #nzpol

I so wish this wasn’t true but Guy’s nailed it. It’s bad already and it’s going to get so much worse. #nzpol

Golly gosh. A real shame this bill is being pushed through under budget urgency because automated decision-making regimes like this should be subjected to close and sceptical scrutiny in select committee — with experts and the public able to make submissions on this dramatic administrative turn.

This is Centrelink's Robodebt and the UK's Post Office Scandal prosecutions all over again and it will ruin lives and kill people. #nzpol

#kai a rather good dinner of kimchi fried rice with shiitake, spinach and gochujang, sprinkled with black sesame seeds and nori.

“…the sooner the sun goes down on empire, the better. Because its gluttony has left generational ruin around the world. There needs to be accountability and redress for this wrongdoing. It is in this pathway to justice that we repair our relationships with each other and with our planet.” #nzpol

We did it, lads. We banned trans people from toilets. Now to sit back and watch house prices come down and vegetables stop rotting on supermarket shelves and we'll all come together and feast on Cadbury's Creme Eggs as big as your head, m'boy, And we'll watch Morecambe and Wise, who did NOT die

#kai Today’s me is enormously grateful to Sunday’s me who had the presence of mind to prepare a generous batch of roast kūmara, parsnip, celeriac, onion and cauliflower. Tonight’s serving was tossed with spinach, air-fried tofu, and the most perfect avocado. Chilli crisp and lemon juice to finish.

One page into this, and I’ve already chuckled twice. Hurrah for escapist literature. #pukapuka

Increasing the accommodation supplement is just going to raise rents for everyone, as they are a direct consequence of what renters can afford to pay and not related to the actual expenses of operating a rental. #nzpol

So enraged by the utter stupidity of this policy and the vileness of the rhetoric that I shoved a piece of caramel slice into my gob. Now I’m queasy and still angry.

This. They have shown they can remove womens right to equal pay in an afternoon but this apparently can't be done unless we reelect them

#pukapuka So utterly chuffed, as editor, to see Tracy Farr’s Wonderland back in the best sellers (No4!) and to see the love readers have for this treasure of a book. And yes, Tracy should have been on the stage. newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/15/t...

“Then it got – somehow – worse. Everlee has disappeared. As I write this, she is no longer listed on ICE's online detainee locator system.” NZ media pls urgently ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs what he’s doing about the US kidnapping of a NZ citizen.👇 Choosing not to act is unacceptable. #nzpol

It's Mother's Day. Here's to every single one of us who is a mum, was a mum, wanted to be a mum, who lost their mum, who deserved a better mum, who has the best mum, who wishes they'd known their mum. Be kind to yourselves today.

Nicola Willis warns Labour is ‘getting into bed’ with NZ First. National is in coalition with NZ First right now — still betwixt the sheets, writing Labour a review from inside the hotel room. The irony is lost on no one. #nzpol

Starter for ten: What’s that comms model for supporting cancer patients (or anyone in a personal crisis) that puts the patient at the centre of concentric circles that reflect the closeness of the relationship … 🧵1/3

Hey look the UK is doing that thing that NZ was doing but then the Minister responsible led the repeal of the legislation and enacted several pro tobacco policies based on a document that appeared on her desk www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Something fitting about a party which has spent this term trashing Wellington at every opportunity being consumed today with internecine dramas, indifferent the city's attempts to dig itself out from a disaster.
