I'll vote for whoever sets a target to get youth unemployment back below 10% in one year. I can't do ten years of centrist, round the next corner drivel. Waiting for businesses to get desperate enough to give young, disengaged or disabled people a job is fkng stupid. There is loads that needs doing.

🚩🚨Abusers win with Winston! Removing content education & about healthy relationships that *GASP* includes our LGBTQIA whānau, only gives abusers an advantage! But the anti-choice movement, which includes NZ First & National, is inherently violent by trying to control women & girls 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #nzpol #RSE

This is the kind of result that the National government wants to see more of - disenfranchisement via policy www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

BREAKING: Labour has announced a tax policy that includes a tight Capital Gains Tax: - 28% on profit after 2027 for residential and commercial property - Family home, KiwiSaver, farms, financial assets excluded - Would pay for a medicard for three free GP visits a year It’s a good start! #nzpol

Solar is EU's biggest power source for first time Solar booms that no one saw coming --Netherlands and Hungary --- are now over 40% solar, higher than Spain! Installation boomed once policy became supportive few years ago @palmapolyak.bsky.social @janfichtner.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/0894...

This is impeccable thespinoff.co.nz/society/25-1...

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our public service workers today ✊ #nzpol

Te Ika a Maui... we really gotta stand up and march on this one as our comrades further south are hampered by extreme right-wing weather gods

1848 brooks no patience for that guy at the bar who refuses to consider you might wish he didn't exist

Regulatory Standards Bill will expose the SPCA to penalty if they remove abused animals; it will expose taxpayers to compensate suspected criminals for confiscated assets; farmers can do as they want; Peter Thiels can build bunkers anywhere. A terrible bill with > 98% opposed. #nzpol

Votes for Māori wards District and region roll of honour - from top to bottom

would have been nice to have a high profile left-leaning mayoral candidate in NZ's biggest city

This type of commonsense politics needs encouraging. On ya Labour, thank you.

We will repeal it in the first 100 days.

Govt to cut #JobSeeker benefit for 18 & 19 year olds who’s parents earn over $65,000, even if the teens have a disability or health condition. With #CostOfLiving & the job shortage they’re cranking up stress levels to 11, all to meet a target. My #cartoon today about hard-nosed #NZpol

And can you do me one favour right now? Can you message five friends and simply ask them if they have voted yet 😊

all too applicable in NZ also

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

new zealand government reaching new heights of stupidity next year our public dollars will go more to AI grants ($70 million) than all investigator-initiated basic science combined ($56 million in the Marsden fund)

In a historic first, iwi leaders and unions have united to call for mass mobilisations against the Government on the 28th of October. Rā Whakamana will affirm tino rangatiratanga and workers' rights and mark He Whakaputanga and the first Labour Day in Aotearoa.

It's the left which is letting democracy die in Auckland by simply not turning up.

Essence du Nat, Act & Lab: "Smith ran into trouble with climate science, Court said giving up 9 holes of Takapuna golf course to protect 200 homes from flooding was a “really, really tough trade-off” & Russell conceded we’d all have to wait until next year to hear something substantive from Labour."

The Embankment cycleway (CS3) in London was purposefully built to be wider than was usual in order to future proof it. Some said it would hardly be used. Now there’s a decent case for widening it further. Induced demand is real.

Marama for Prez, Chloe for PM

Labour not wanting to harness the energy from the entire country coming together and upholding the Treaty and our Māori values is entirely unsurprising. If they don’t wanna win I don’t see why we should help them.

always plays in my head during sudoku

But the thing is, you don't have to speculate. You can simply read the facts of the case and leave it at that. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The greatest #nzpol post of all time. Like that Tom Holland lip sync battle vid, when you see it on any platform, it’s your duty to repost it. #newzealandvalues

It just keeps happening everywhere...

When I started working for the Greens in 2015 the landscape was significantly different. Yes, Metiria Turei received unprecedented levels of abuse and in my view, unhinged media reporting. Now, the rhetoric is much more violent, defamatory and there's widespread targeting of even more MPs/leaders. 🧵

We have leaders like Peters, Seymour and Luxon actively punching down on marginalized communities and seem proud doing so. It also appears NZ First is engaging people like Rhys Williams to actively target MPs like @benjamin-doyle.greens.org.nz. /2

I’m glad to see journalists like Fisher, McManus, Kamo and Māori media covering this, but it must go wider. Benjamin’s devastating resignation has already slipped from the headlines. Peters and others are inflicting real damage on our society. Let's keep calling this out wherever we see it. #nzpol

26 years after Georgina Beyer became the first openly trans Member of Parliament, our first non-binary MP is forced to resign following death threats and ongoing abuse. This is such an indictment of NZ politics. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Text on your website should be accessible. Can it be read by a screen reader? Can font type, font size, colours be changed?? Can the info be accessed without stuff flashing/blinking at me or without sound? Do not be ablelist, especially with NZ's aging population. #AoNZPol #nzpol

Te Arikinui has set her vision for the future: one that rejects reliance on government support and instead builds an independent Māori economic path.

I’m hyperventilating. Our country could actually be this iconic if useless white men weren’t running it.

I have been reminded that if Bishop rolls Luxo that will be the THIRD WHITE MAN CALLED CHRIS IN A ROW as Prime Minister We gotta get some more diversity in this fucking parliament

Until we treat online violence as a structural barrier to equal participation, we’ll keep losing voices we cannot afford to lose. Reform is overdue. #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/03/06/n...

Benjamin Doyle has faced some of the most concentrated hate condensed into a short period of time, egged on by pseudonymous hate groups and encouraged further by the deputy PM. It’s a damn shame that our political environment has got so toxic that an MP needs to resign for the safety of their whānau

Winston Peters belongs on a god damn national security watch list. This is beyond appalling. Racist right wing fuckwits cannot be allowed free rein to undermine our democracy by driving out anyone they don't like. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

We don't talk enough about the role of abuse and violence in eroding democracy
