I neglected to do this earlier: I support Palestine Action. Fuck Britain and every country that bans free speech.

If you want to survive & eventually thrive, the only choice is Green. Imho. (No I’m not bashing labour or TPM) I honestly see this as the only LAST CHANCE we have to remain WHO WE ARE & PROSPER INDEFINITELY, no matter who or where you come from. Aroha, Kotahitanga, Mana. LIFE. 🕊️

Workers need wage increases, not tax cuts for tobacco companies, landlords, and big businesses. The government should settle its pay disputes so that essential workers don't see their pay fall. If the economy is improving, but working people aren’t feeling any relief.

Cuts to things we need. Spending on things we don't. Subsidising and accelerating climate change. Undermining clean energy initiatives. Everything they do is the worst possible option, and always against expert advice. They are destroying our country, for their mates' short term gain. #nzpol

If they're not already, the @greens.org.nz should be regularly checking in with the @greenparty.org.uk and comparing notes We've got an election to win✊🏻💚 #nzpol

Billionaires are looting the world. We're not in a recession, we're in a robbery. #TaxTheRich

During the 1970's, Copenhagen introduced car-less days (like NZ), discovered it was good and changed paradigm (unlike NZ, which made up car ownership easier). And now we have a Govt talking about building $250 billion of road and cutting out cycle lanes... #nzpol grist.org/biking/one-m...

Slightly amended wording, more topical. 🤣 #nzpol

I'm honestly so sick and heartbroken watching incredibly passionate, skilled, and qualified healthcare workers being so burnt by the funding cuts carried out by this government that they're leaving the healthcare system altogether. #nzpol

‘The family said no warrant was presented, agents did not ask for Thao’s ID, but they “nevertheless forcibly entered the home with weapons drawn.” ‘ Utter lawlessness. One of the few things holding it to account is great reporting as @marisakabas.bsky.social is doing

Seeing articles on homelessness. In 2020 the NZ govt launched an evidence based, fully funded Homelessness Action Plan. It had support of iwi, local govt and communities. It recognised the complexity and trauma of intergenerational poverty. So please journalists, ask what happened to that … 1/2

New Zealand Govt....take fucking notes

Listen no one is "vilifying" rich people. They ARE villains. If you run a multimillion or billion dollar company, give yourself millions in $$/shares &/or benefits, but pay your directly employed or contracted workers less than a living wage what are you if not a villain? #nzpol #NBRrichLIST

Not going to repost WaPo, but Bondi and the DoJ are issuing subpoenas to Tim Walz and Jacob Frey for impeding law enforcement. Related, the thing about tepid action or absolute inaction in the face of fascism is that fascists are just going to pretend you did the most treasonous things anyway.

The root cause behind every closure is this Nact Govt's austere policies to strip jobs in essential services to fund their unnecessary tax cuts and rorts for their wealthy backers. Let's never forget their conscious decisions made at the expense of hard-working Kiwis at the last election #nzpol

Very good question #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

#nzpol While the US Congress is pushing back on steepest science cuts, the science situation in NZ feels increasingly bleak. 🇳🇿 Hard to "go for growth" when you're cutting the literal foundation of innovation. We need a long-term funded vision, not just a commercial filter. 🧪

The #nzpol and #kikorangi feeds often follow similar themes, and I have often thought about the fact that a lot of what people want it already being offered, by the @greens.org.nz 🧵

Submissions for this awful bill close tomorrow night. This is a good summary of what Stanford and Seymour are trying to push through. Your submission can just be a statement of opposition #nzpol

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

It's a potential ticking time bomb for whoever's in government in 2026-29.. This is how Atlas lays traps for their opponents.

Universal childcare is something I’m pretty sure my parents enjoyed. Playcentre & kindy. Not having to pay out an amount equivalent to your mortgage payment in order to work — so you can pay your mortgage and childcare???!!! #nzpol

A win either way! We can't afford for the ultra-wealthy to own everything, they're squeezing out everyone else. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Taxing wealth should be a global goal, especially as along with ultra-wealth comes ultra-corruption.

Best of 2025: The findings of a new IMF report suggest NZ is not just underperforming, but actively backing the wrong kinds of growth.

Ridiculous court decision but great auction fundraiser idea! #climateaction #nzpol

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.
