Hey what happened to identifying the ideology of lobby groups, media? Why did that only apply that one time to the 'left wing' tax reform group? Forget the headline, you're not even telling your audience the TPU is right wing.

Ex-Labour staffer from years ago does social media skits & is called a troll by Stuff's Jenna Lynch, wife of ACT Chief of Staff. But ex-National staffer & current Jordan Williams employee Ani O'Brien consistently runs troll campaigns against media & opposition MPs, but is legitimate? F*** Stuff

Here's a hypocrite if I ever saw one: Ani O'Brien saying people should be able to say what they want in their free time, even if "crude" Maiki's wasn't even a public case like this one Jordan William's "Free Speech Union" should abolish itself - was always obviously a fake

Waiting for the country to get back on track. Any moment now ???

This government, lead by NZF, is going ahead with eroding the Treaty Principles anyway, on the sly, even though Seymour’s awful bill was shitcanned. Now they’re not even telling us which laws they’re rewriting. These fuckers MUST go come November. #nzpol

Ye gods.

As we move closer to the NZ General Election you must remember that this recession was not caused by the conflict in the Middle East. It was caused by this Coalition Governments desire for personal enrichment at any cost to the people of Aotearoa They are vile, sociopathic liars. #nzpol

#NZpol I'm just going to make the bold but possibly entirely erroneous assumption *some* MP in our much vaunted Oppo is going to have *at least* one question over this put to him. NZF simply cannot be allowed to get away with sheeting blame everywhere *else*, like they had nada to do with it all.

i’m still seeking answers to why the entirety of NZs political reporters CONTINUE to do debase themselves like this

The guys in the shed are looking at new project, making Nobel Peace Prizes. Anyone interested let me know.

Oof 😬🤣

All because a tiny minority of grave dancers didn’t like Māori having their contractual rights honoured. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again; Racism is an expensive business. 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

#ChrisBishop continues fire sale of #KaingaOra assets-ending plans for a 10storey social housing block in Ak & selling the land cheaply to property developers who donated to Nats & RW Coalition. Meanwhile, state housing list=20,000 & #homelessness increases in #NZ www.oneroof.co.nz/news/knock-o...

Oof, this one would have stung. Clearly those violent unionists are enthusiastically keeping that bed leg swinging! 😎😂 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #ToitūTeTiriti

A new analysis from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives looked at 25 countries and found those with more privatized health care fared worse on seven mortality indicators. The report comes as several provinces pursue privatizing some health-care services. #cdnpoli #skpoli

Bonsai awakens for another Summer. So comforting to know it will probably out last so many of the bastards around the world who are making misery a part of so many people's lives. Looking at you , coalition of crap.

Excellent cartoon by fellow Listener cartoonist Anthony Ellison #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/the-listener...

At the height of the rail compatible vs not rail compatible argument when Nicola Willis was still talking about Toyota Corollas, Don Braid from Mainfreight was on RNZ explaining that if the ferries were not rail compatible it would mean 10,000 more trucks on the roads #NZPol

At a time when everyone is seeing straight through this government, her take is completely outdated and irrelevant. Time to retire Audrey.

Rob Campbell's piece in the Newsroom today is one of the best essays yet on our current politics It is both clear and easily understood, but also one of the most chilling assessments of where we are and the direction being taken.. we have one brief window of opportunity to stop this. ELECTION.

Politics is giving me heartburn. Taking a break to make tables for my bonsai trees. Creative acts helps with keeping perspective. Come Spring, trees will be proud to sit on these.

Elizabeth Rata is coaching Erica Stanford on how "to end de-colonisation's success" Rata is a regular on Plunket's 'The Platform' and has previously written a Decolonisation Essay for 'The Democracy Project' (now "Integrity Institute) #nzpol

To all the kiwis of the world, from someone actively planning to flee the u.s. by any means possible, GET THE F.B.I. THE FUCK OUT OF AOTEAROA.

Well said, Toby Moore. newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/01/l...

I think this is probably the kind of thing that needs more public buy-in, eh? Especially in the current climate. An office upgrade and a permanent position?? Wtf are the FBI even doing here in the first place? This is institutionalised foreign interference.

This is incredibly petty and wasteful. All so they can do a bit of racist posturing for their most revanchist base. The headline calls it a small change, but it actually carries a large symbolic and cultural weight. The changes won't come into effect until 2027, so get in before then. #nzpol

Rangitoto Island ( Auckland NZ) watching over two very important women. Grandma and granddaughter . This old man is so lucky to have such women accept him as a friend.

Prisoner voting ban to be brought back - Paul Goldmsith Politics 9 mins ago As voting is an intrinsic right of every citizen , surely he must first pass bill that prison sentence includes loss of citizenship. Right to vote is not dependent on anything except citizenship.

What's even more disturbing is imagine paying $155 licence for an AI generated image. Might just hang up my camera now, no point taking another photo ever. There is NOTHING original or honest about ACT.

So Seymour has finally fizzled out in a whimper. Wasn't able to get to see it . If I had been choreographing the scenario, I would have had the entire opposition silently stand to do the Bayley "loser" hand signal. Seymour didn't even get to hold hands with his partners in law .

We keep getting the Trump Tariffs nonsense daily. I think someone tried to explain history but he hasn't grasped the details. When he talks of how other countries are going to make US wealthy, he is using the wrong word. He means tributes as in empires demand tributes .

David needs to be reminded of this by all the other parties ⬇️ #nzpol

I see Duncan Garner using the Listener to pile in on the left political parties. How ironic. Yesterday's mouth screaming at today's youthful confident exposure of fig leaves held up by our Government wrecking crew. Once a long time ago he would have aspired to be her, but alas never was or could be.
