You know what Wellington really needs to help kickstart its economic recovery? More unemployed people! That always makes things better for everyone! #nzpol

1/2 #NZPol Govt has begun approving significant pay hikes for members of Crown boards - in several cases doubling their compensation - after intro of new fees E.g. the chair of the EPA's annual pay has been approved to jump from $53,000 to $96,700, an 82.5% increase Teachers, nurses, doctors:

This was just mentioned by a Rochelle on #BHN just now and it needs to be dropped on #NZPol. #ditchThePricksIn26

'On notice': Greens pledge to revoke fast-track consents for coal, hard-rock gold, seabed mining projects www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... Thank you Greens. Can Labour + Te Pati Maori step up and pledge this too? Today I filed my submission against the shameful Fast-track Approvals Amendments Bill.

It's ok the tireless backroom health IT people will be.. Oh. Oh fuck. New plan, DON'T GET SICK #nzpol

Never fails to give me goose bumps. SO powerful! #Haka

This needs the #NZPol tag.

Another shocking record to mark up to the CoC's in power. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #NZPol

www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... They bully their way in. They don't give a fuck about others. They get upset over nothing. They attack indigenous residents. This hornet was probably introduced by the ACT party so they could have a mascot. #NZPol #NZEnvironment

@chewienz.bsky.social thanks for the link. If we had a govt with a clue, we would be using "social profit" as a measure here. #nzpol www.eur.nl/en/news/rese...

#oct23strike #nzpol ✊🏼

Lincoln Road has multiple pockets today and from my clinic office I can hear constant honking in support of the #Oct23strike. This is a historic day for workers rights in Aotearoa New Zealand

Please use the #Oct23Strike hashtag for related posts. Easier for Dan too

100 reasons to support the mega strike - Emily Writes #Oct23Strike

Not just the striking health workers. I support every worker from every union striking today. These folks are hardworking pillars of the community here in New Zealand, and they deserve better. #Oct23Strike

Hey, Luxon, how do you fuck up something like data.parliament.govt.nz this badly? The site feels like a Work In Progress, and like it should be behind a BasicAuth, at minimum, at this point. Definately not allowing public signup, given that crashes in the verification links. #NZPol

🎵"There is no cancel-culture in New Zealand ..."🎵

This is the crux of RW vs LW politics, whether you're prepared to take responsibility for your actions and the impact of those upon others. Swarbrick should just parrot Peters' words back at him.

#BringSamHome Winston Peters and Chris Luxon, may your ancestors haunt your asses.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Local media like Stuff is doing rolling coverage of Kirk like the pope just died, but either they have no idea what a extremist he was or know but want to launder his reputation for some reason. You're better off reading his Wikipedia page. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie...

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

The most piercing judgments of Charlie Kirk I see today are the ones that simply quote his words for all to hear. What a legacy he earned.

Charlie Kirk woke up every day and made a conscious decision to be the Charlie Kirk we all saw. That’s the meanest thing I can think of to say about pretty much anyone, and it also happens to be completely true. We can remember what he did, and we can remember who he did it to.

"This place was alive once", bemoans Winston Peters about Wellington Rumour has it that Mr Peters was, also, alive once.

When the Luxon Govt is voted out at the next election they need to be held accountable for the damage they are doing. #NZPol www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDg5...

2024 interview by Tova was quite prescient. Back then Luxon was still pretending he was "about" to fix the economy. Method: selling our land & homes off to foreigners while boasting about non-existent Amazon jobs & causing the worst unemployment & biz failures in 10 years #nzpol

I do remember this in the news fifteen years ago. The warnings that major nz aquifer water sources will be undrinkable in 30years. And the 60+ year olds elected to political power at the time shrugged. We got another decade and a bit... We gonna shrug again?

The Frontline with Dr Gary Payinda is out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaH4... In addition to the title topic, they also cover the attempt to muzzle dissenting voices from the public health sector. You are on the wrong side of history when you need to resort to that. #LuxonsLegacy #NZPol

Frontline with Dr Gary Payinda is out. This week he's examining the claim that millionairs will leave the country if taxed fairly. Spoiler: it's not a claim, it's a myth. #NZPol www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTYT...
