Whether against Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, Ghahraman, Ardern, other MPs, Wiles, Bloomfield, & others involved in pandemic response, transgender activists, drag queens, judges, lawyers or academics - effects of doxxing are inherently harmful, & often leads to kinetic violence or vandalism.

Look at this bullshit from NZ First and the kind of comments it incites! #nzpol

Calling people attack dogs is not at attempt to deescalate and maintain civility, it's a attempt to escalate to distract from a failing economy. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I left home to study in another city when I was 18. It was a huge challenge. And that was staying in a hostel where I didn't have to worry about bills (except for hostel fees) or cook my own food. It's too easy to suggest that young people should just move. They need a heap of support. 1/3

Luxon said multiple times during the announcement of these Jobseeker changesand the following interviews is; "we're sending a message". Aside from being an unnecessary change it's just vice signalling to the conservative voting base and a threat against anyone struggling #nzpol

"If you can't find a job GO study to be a care worker or a librarian or a teacher, y'know those positions we've been shitting on while axing pay equity" - this gov #nzpol

#nzpol The government has announced that 18/19 year olds, who live in a household where the parents earn $65,529 or more, can't claim jobseekers support. If both parents work 27 hours on the minimum wage - $634 a week - they will be expected to now financially support their adult offspring. A 🧵

It is completely unconscionable to require job losses for the economy to function (supposedly) and then to blame them for their own unemployment that they DID NOT CHOOSE.

the idea that jobs are what will fix poverty is morally and factually broken #nzpol

Things Stuff could've asked Seymour: which New Zealanders? Do you support any of Kirk's positions, such as great replacement theory, ending the separation of church and state, that Martin Luther King Jr was a "bad man", opposing abortion for rape? Like, you have him right there.

don't forget that David Seymour is the only MP in the last decade who has openly implied he wanted a Ministry bombed

I am so mad that so much funding was sunk into a platform run by this person, all the eggs in this basket?! This is not serious consideration for support into mental health #NZPol

Nicola Willis has backed off breaking up the Foodstuffs-Woolworths grocery duopoly. She hopes Costco will instead use 'fast-track' powers to grow, even though it already has a Christchurch consent, but has held back from launching. #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/still-capt...

Paywall now lifted on a story nearly six years in the making: How a passionate neo-Nazi joined the army, started a homegrown white nationalist movement while serving, then tried to defect overseas when the police caught up to him – bringing military secrets with him. newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/25/t...

In today’s NZ Herald #nzpol

I’m so annoyed that I called this before the election. Y’all just want chaos and destruction for the sake of it. Y’all being Nat voters.

"I have grave concerns. This is about the government trying to avoid its responsibilities of providing a full, free public health system. We're starting with outsourcing but moving to public private partnerships is the next stage in that process." #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

people who think this matters have ignored how Trumpism actually handles inconvenient stories. They simply pretend awful things done by their supporters weren't awful, weren't done, or weren't done by their supporters. you never hand the enemy points by condemning your own side.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... Helen Clark described the NZ Govt, “We now really seem to stand for nothing except you know somehow wanting to save our own skin in a tariff war". #NzPol #Caricature #Cartoon #Gaza #Palestine #SeeNoEvil #HearNoEvil #SpeakNoEvil #Pathetic

Christopher wants higher house prices AND housing affordability. Chris wants to lower prices to make them more affordable. It’s magical thinking at best and performative gaslighting at worst. The same approach Labour took too. #nzpol

I see Shane Jones is telegraphing the same 'Great Replacement' narrative, & lie Christchurch terrorist used to justify massacre of 51 Muslims in March 2019. This is not political debate. This is violent extremist rhetoric fuelling racism, endangering communities, & ripping apart social cohesion.

So now we have the moral justification to stop subsidising the environmental degradation of Aotearoa. If profits all go offshore then they need to be accountable for the cleanup. Consumers - you have a choice. There are local brands. Boycott what is now international brands. #nzpol

I just applied to a doggy daycare job. Here's hoping they can trawl through the applications and find mine 🙏

Here's one from a while back, the Atlas man himself, David Seymour, giving the metaphorical middle finger to our pacific neighbors over repealing the oil ban, making slimy comments questioning rising sea levels. It's climate change denialism #nzpol

I forgot to tag my thread of clips from recent weeks in QT where David Seymour wasted the houses time with unfunny jokes about the oppositions intelligence. It's def missing some! All are pretty tame, except the last one that I find very unbecoming from an associate education minister. #nzpol

I noticed a pattern of Seymour using supplementary questions (he knew would be out of order) to take shots at the intelligence of opposition members. I'm not against "fun" (used loosely in his case) in the house, but remember these when he bemoans the the loss of 'integrity' of the house.

Where is Steve Joyce not? He chairs NZME after brokering a deal with James Jim Grenon, helped Waikato Uni get a medical school for $$$$, and has now joined Foodstuffs It also reveals a significant risk and corruptibility of NZ's political and economic system. #nzpol

WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

"Grievances and polarising issues in the online information space are almost certainly driving support for a range of violent extremist ideologies within New Zealand. No one ideology currently stands out as presenting a greater threat." www.nzsis.govt.nz/our-work/new...

I know he doesn't want to, but Kieran McAnulty should do NZ a solid and lead Labour. I beg. #nzpol

Yeah Auckland Council just posted about their amazing community hubs and the groups which happen at them and the comments are all “This is not the council’s responsibility, this is why the rates are so high”. Urgh. #NZPol

The Biscuit Tin, heart of our democracy. I love you, Biscuit Tin of Democracy.

Judith Collins clarifies her teaching comments, also calls strike actions "little tantrums". But it's the teachers unions that are acting in bad faith

Since 2023, Luxon’s coalition “has repealed, defunded, or delayed dozens of climate initiatives: from electric bus funds to agricultural emissions pricing to subsidies for solar and wind. Officials have been ordered to stop planning for lower car use. Climate scientists have lost their jobs…” #nzpol

In a country where the average house is $900k, teachers should get paid $140k a year or more tbh. It’s not some kind a snide talking point. Or do you people want teachers to live in cars? If you want teachers to be happy with a $50k salary cause you’re stuck in 1995 then lower the cost of living.

Some journalists at the post cab press meeting are questioning the government's cherry picked pay ranges od teachers wages. Good. I hope there is more pushback. #nzpol

We're already focused on delivering core services AND supporting our communities. It's time for central government to stop overstepping, and instead start supporting. We need collaboration and partnership, not interference. We need to let local government lead. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

From Nationals POV what's their justification in distinguishing between unions/teachers, unions/nurses, etcetera... for arguments sake, do they want us to believe the workers are being misled #nzpol

“We’re here to talk about A levels” “Free Palestine the BBC is complicit” 💀💀

I regret to inform you that the National Party has formally kicked off their 2026 election campaigning and as expected they're betting the farm on lies, propaganda and fear. Without a strong media, it will be hard to resist.

In a just world she would have to resign over this

If anyone has a connection to their preferred MP, please could you reach out on this? It’s not long until the submission deadline on Monday and there has been very little media or Opposition focus on this - the Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill needs the same cut through as the RSB or TPB.

Worth also noting these are former ministers who have had serious threats to their safety, to their families, from some of those involved in this inquiry and their fellow travellers. They are still participating and cooperating, in a way that keeps them safe and doesn't escalate conflict.

and despite the clear lies and nastiness of the government, and the open attacks on teachers - and thus students and their families - nz's media are framing it like this. What the fuck is actually wrong with our newsrooms??

We have reached the point where he is being called immediately on his lies. Good luck with your polling now cuntface #NZPol

"Too difficult" is code for "I refuse to try." It's not pedagogy; it's avoidance dressed up as concern. Let's stop pretending this is about children and discuss it as adult policy choices.

It's curious how Audrey Young's political analysis never seems to go any deeper than blaming young left wing women for the sins of stale pale right wing males.
