Honestly. If Labour want to win 80% of the vote next year, the election needs to be in the first few days of November and their core policy needs to be “we’ll ban fireworks”.

Zohran's approach: being real, honest, and treating voters like adults and, more importantly, the way it's landing, are proof of the possibility I've always known. Like decisions in COVID to provide financial relief or close borders, govt can do anything if it tries #nzpol

No. You are not a friend to Palestine. You are aligned with the oppressors of Palestine. #nzpol

Maori scholar, Makereti Papakura writing at her desk c.1910. The room is decorated with a mix of Maori & European mementoes whilst the rafters are painted with traditional kowhaiwhai patterns. Makereti will be awarded a posthumous degree in Oxford tomorrow, almost a century after she died in 1930.

Grenville tower “the government of the day was on a deregulation drive, advocating a “one-in one-out” approach. If a minister wanted to bring in a regulation, they had to remove an existing one.” Sound familiar Ao/Nz

I think she's about had it.

At a candidates meeting last week an older male candidate said that the way to improve well-being of workers is to encourage investment so that the wealth trickled down. Aaron stood up & said he'd like to acknowledge the myth of trickle down economics & the crowd cheered. This is the way ☑️ #whakatu

The Green Party budget proposes a *reduction* in income tax. More than 90% of income earners would pay less tax than currently. Everyone would benefit from massive increase in services like free primary health care, free public early childhood education, and so much more.

Please, investigative journalists. There's been a lot of attention on China's foreign interference, but now the US has fallen to an authoritarian fascist regime with egregious human rights abuses, can we please have some sunlight on what the hell they're doing here.

Just you all remember that the dairy industry doesn't owe us cheaper prices than what they can get offshore ok. Just remember that, it's very important.

We urgently need central government $olution$ to our local rates problems. There is NO POINT in standing for council saying you’re going to cap rates or keep it at zero rises because that ship has well & truly sailed. I want councillors who will push hard for this #nzpol

I think it says a lot about NZ's Green Party being environment/ecosystem/science based rather than some of the cultural trends in other countries, that the Green Party had the fewest voters who had never had a covid vaccination 0.34%. 32.5% of NZ First voters say they never had a covid vaccination.

This is unforgiveable incompetence: NZ has spent $671m to get no ferries, rather than $551m to get new ferries that would be arriving within months to replace clapped-out ferries. This sort of mismanagement should bring down a government; amazingly, it's not even the worst example of their failings

UK, Canada, Australia & 26 other countries have signed a joint statement calling for unimpeded humanitarian aid access to #Gaza. NZ has not signed it. This is beyond embarrassing. It’s utterly disgraceful. People are starving. Where is our govt’s moral compass?

My reckons. There is something desperately wrong with any system which condemns mildly critical language addressed towards privileged power holders, but is utterly silent on the intentional starvation of children. #nzpol

This new road user charges doesn’t need a new private company to administer. Like rego- you can buy RUC online at the moment & at each WOF you have to be paid up on road user charges, to get a WOF - either buy online or add in option to buy at the petrol station as you go. No need to GPS track

Chris Bishop's interview was a real banger once you extricate the spin: 1. If National win a second term, they will privatise NZ without restriction 2. He admits voter suppression laws will help National 3. $64bn+ of their transport plan is unfunded 4. They don't care for business cases #nzpol
