who did this? 🤣 #nzpol

I need one of these to wear when the cops ask about my husband who has gone missing under suspicious circumstances.

How Peters and Seymour react when they incite political violence, btw. And there are numerous examples of them doing this. The fact that this dichotomy exists, and that media and some politicians are buying into it, is a signal of increasing fascism, for whatever that’s worth.

If you'd asked me which celebrity would posthumously unveil a list of people she wanted fired into the sun, I would not have guessed Jane Goodall

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... Luxon giving his 'best' advice to unemployed youth... #NzPol #Caricature #Cartoon #PoliticalCartoon #EditorialCartoon #Luxon

Lazy Luxon short on fact checking, again, before he makes major policy changes. The lack of "real life" intel is staggering inside this coalition govt. Orchards not 'crying out' for workers right now, fruit growers say www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

"What I'd say to you, very clearly, is fuck them kids." #nzpol

Oh my god! Wr still don't have an edit button for those pesky predictive text problems. #IsAnyoneListening

Yep, it's the same old "bash a beneficiary" or "lazy youf" rhetoric to gain a couple of votes. Lazy Luxon chasing 4000 kids to save approx $1.3M year but won't chase Destiny church charitable trust or Gloriavale, with charities estimated to be avoiding $2.0B year in tax avoidance.

Live feed day 2 select committee here⬇️

Why do Airports limited get 10mins of select committee time to support the #RSB but Iwi, Unions and others opposing get 5mins? What's the rule difference? Very confusing or is that the purpose.

#RSB Imagine having to employ security to escort you into a Parliamentary Select Committee to present your Oral Submission on a Bill, thanks to the behaviour of a Deputy PM. #TanyaWaikato #nzpol

Dr Jane Kelsey #ManaWahine #RSB #SelectCommittee totally agree with her that it's all a farcical parody of the whole legislative process from the bill to the min speaking time at select committee stage. This is the demolition of our democracy by the 8%er.

Here's the best description this morning of David Seymours bot whinge: "having a fucken sook" 😂 #nzpol

Arrrggggghhhhh.

Who let the bots out... 🎶🎶 #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

That Brooke Van Velden piece on RNZ has a paragraph about how WorkSafe shouldn't be focused on "safety at all costs" UM YES YES IT SHOULD IT'S IN THEIR NAME YOU TRUE-BELIEVING FUCKSTICK #nzpol

How did banks pump in so much new credit $? Easy, we got banks to print obscene amounts of $ so that we could pump up house prices and shower older, wealthy kiwis with tax-free capital gains. The 1990s provided the template for the 2000s & 2010s (when racheting down interest rates helped). [5/n]

It's worth pausing here to see what's going on. Public debt (pink) was whittled down through to 2008 but private debt (blue) growth more than compensated. The expansion of the private sector balance sheet fueled our growth. Weird that this obvious 'structural deficit' gets no press, ay? [5/n]

Ruthanasia-the downfall of provinces like Southland and rural Otago who continue to vote in National MPs. How dumb can you be? Her double down on Rogernomics impacted severely on working NZ.. and still they vote blue😞 #nzpol

A Jacinda Ardern, NOT a Chris Luxon...

I *am* generally of the view that the country couldn't have continued on the trajectory 9 years of Muldoon had set it on. But we didn't have to become the country Douglas and Richardson made us, either. Douglas drove people out of work & Richardson made sure those people lived in poverty.

‘We figured out how much money it cost to keep a person alive, so we could set benefit levels below that on purpose’ is a hell of a legacy

Nearly gave up after just sitting staring at a very static green arc for two hours, and then suddenly it was all go, send visible to the naked eye.

Sorry NZ is closed right now, we’re all busy looking up #aurora

Omfg 🤣

You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

Over this wind and rain... Awake since banging on on the roof started at 3.30pm which turned out to be this coming loose!

Credit where credit is due The Democrats banished Stephen Miller to the shadow realm with this tweet. This is a nuclear level, all-timer brand post.

Perhaps Chris Bishop and his other racist Atlas mates could learn from this example of an idiot being ejected from a punk concert for being offensive #nzpol #SayNoToRacism #NotMyNZ

Remember when Helen Clark was Prime Minister as well as the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage? Remember how New Zealand music was nurtured and flourished in the early 2000's? That's how a politician should be a fan of the Arts. By actively fucking supporting them.

Things that are not uncivil: A haka. Things that are uncivil: Telling someone working OT they’re a fucking loser;Telling NZ residents born overseas to go home; Referring to emails from Indian people as a scam; Abusing performers at a event; Talking about blowing up a Ministry; Misogny; Racism.

Being told to "shut up you dickhead" by Don McGlashan is literally the worst thing that can happen to you as a New Zealander

Up sitting in the lounge listening to the wind screaming outside. I think some roof tiles have come of the second storey but it's too dark to see anything. No obvious leaks in the ceiling so just gotta wait till daylight to see the damage.

So apt and never old #TrumpIsACunt #JaneyGodleyRIP

good news everyone, climate change is continuing to worsen unabated and fascism has completely broken containment but at least 2025 comes with a *checks notes* ... Glenn Greenwald sex tape.

There's some gold tonight 😂🤣🎶 #MisheardLyrics

So Chris Bishop was a drunk arsehole. Which just means he was himself, but drunk.

Fat bottomed girls... 🎼Hey, listen here Now, I got mortgages on homes I got stiffness in my bones Ain't no beauty queens in this locality, I tell you Oh, but I still get my pleasure Still got my greatest treasure Hey, big woman, you gonna make a big man of me Now get this🎼

Civility as a Weapon: The Performance of Power I took my ranty bluesky posts and turned them into something longer, more thoughtful, and which really digs into the way in which civility is weaponised to silence dissent open.substack.com/pub/drbex/p/...

Hey just a random reminder, as the coleaders of te Pāti Māori are suspended for three weeks over a haka... David Seymour *personally* fought for the rights of anti-choice protesters to scream at pregnant people outside abortion clinics because that's the kind of "free speech" he approves of

JuCo on RNZ just now going big on how TPM haka disrupted the House, etc. OK ... but the finding of "contempt" was based on the potential intimidation of members - she says nothing about how/why the haka could have that effect. So, what exactly is it that TPM MPs have been punished for?

It's a very curious moment when a female minister of parliament is more concerned about the words directed at her than the financial equity of underpaid women. Should we be concerned more about words or more about women being able to support themselves.

And OF COURSE it's two "wealthy and sorted" ladies who are happily capitalizing on Nationals desperate need for a distraction from the disastrous destruction of pay equity for women. Zero solidarity for pay equity from that quarter.

Willis is on RNZ now spouting the same tired old excuses that she & the right leaning NZ News media would have absolutely crucified Labour had they attempted he same. #nzpol #shame

The Coalition Machine. My Stuff #Cartoon today #NZpol #Women #PayEquity #TeTiriti

An important point to keep in mind.

Seems like they are more concerned by their rep with the tech bros than Internet safety of NZers. "It felt pretty awful to be on the receiving end of those," she said. "To take this legal approach meant that they weren't dealing with the issues." www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
