This is probably my most personal and vulnerable article I've ever written, but I feel it is an important one. #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/kaimataa...

#ChristopherLuxon's govt has denied #Palestinians visas & passage to #NZ. #EricaStanford lied to NZ public about her ability to get Palestinians here. NZ Palestinians are fighting to get their family members out of the illegally occupied country. SHAME on you Stanford/Luxon. SHAME. #nzpol

If/when Collins gets interviewed next she should be asked where she gets the fucking gall. Honestly, writing 'an open letter to the NZ public' about ongoing employment negotiations accusing the *other* party of playing politics and being dishonest about the cited example.

Another great thread from Musical Chairs @clrenney.bsky.social @patbrittenden.bsky.social @chewienz.bsky.social #BHN #1TermGovt

This just in: politician complains about things being political

Half this country’s problems can be solved with increased public spending and running things publicly but we have a stingy af povvo govt that only wants to line the pockets of their mates.

So our entitled PM Luxon is on roughly 500k with so many incentives and allowances. Code Brown has stated that the senior doctors are paid 325k The doctors work a 1000x harder than the entitled one and deserve more. I have more respect for our doctors than Luxon #nzpol

@patbrittenden.bsky.social It’s not Gary Payinda but it’s eloquent and perfect

My thoughts on the latest shameless attack from our health minister #nzpol

I'm a materialist instead of an idealist, so I believe in “I am, therefore I think” instead of “I think, therefore I am.” I therefore believe René was putting Descartes before the horse. #philosophyjokes

Even saying "two executives" appears to be generous. It's 1.32FTE so it's one executive (King) and a part-timer doing about 1.5 days a week.

If Luxon is rolled who will mediocre white people have to look up to?

“When it comes to the almost 2,000 Palestinians who were released by Israel as part of the deal… there has been silence from much of our mainstream media.” Read five stories about Palestinian hostages released from Israeli detention following the Gaza ceasefire agreement: zeteo.com/p/five-pales...

This, all of this from Emily Writes about our MSM coverage of the genocide in Palestine. Fantastic piece, thank you Emily 🙏🍉 www.emilywrites.co.nz/the-media-li...

🚨 Nurses, doctors, teachers listen up 🚨There isn’t a bottomless well of taxpayer money!! Unless you are a landlord, big tobacco or big oil. I talk more about this over at my substack: yeehawtheboys.substack.com/p/luxon-tell...

And get them at least 3 years later than the $550m ones

Sorry, I'll see myself out

Wero. Here’s a little wero or challenge. Before you leave the house, place your feet firmly on the whenua, take a big breath in, hold it, then do the biggest sigh. Then do it again. With each breath, let go of some of the little worries you have, and then leave the house with a clear mind. 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Nicola Willis promised affordable tax cuts and zero borrowings - OR she would resign. Instead, Willis borrowed $12,000 million i.e. $12 billion & has created another $8 billion hole in the budget. She's now down $20 billion and counting #nzpol #kiwi

I remember when asset sales were gonna lead to mum and dad shareholders and now we just have mum and dad paying $500 power bills in the winter. The right wing ideology is a scam. It’s a pyramid scheme. It’s useless. It improves nothing.

🔽🔽🔽Emergency media release 🔽🔽🔽 The F&E select committee reported back yesterday. 98.7% of 166k submissions against the Regulatory Standards Bill. But the Govt is going ahead. "This is an attempted constitutional coup d'état by other means." - Paul Thistoll www.rightsaotearoa.nz/media-releas...

Wake up

youtu.be/h-yjkAXxnMA so accurate. I'm so impressed. #nzpol

Some quiet reading for Simeon Brown.

Selling off productive publicly owned companies/infrastructure to reduce govt debt is like selling off your car to reduce your mortgage, then taking an uber/taxi to work each day. Sure you have lower debts, but it costs more in the long run. #nzpol

Latest benefits data is out. More detail later, but suffice to say that we are going to need some new forecasts.

chorus being publicly owned is the only reason we don't have shit australian internet. We should nationalize every company owned by a national MP. Eminent domain their homes. Fuck these people.

Quick, someone ask Peters to condemn THESE threats! #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

I made a video on exactly how the opposition can win, based on strategies from Labour's own 2017 messaging strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio that helped Jacinda win in under 6 weeks. If she doesn't know how to win an election no one does. youtu.be/4UHUg7u8Dtg?... #nzpol

Fucksake. It's quite clear now that they only looked at this benefit policy as political marketing and took no advice on who it would impact – which includes young people with serious health issues and disabilities. Just feckless and cynical. Shame on them. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

1. It's an idiom, not a metaphor 2. We know it's an idiom 3. The issue is that YOU, a RW govt minister, directly linked an act of individual vandalism to a LW political party without any direct evidence. 4. When have the Greens ever advocated political violence? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

You may have heard Peters trying to make the situation with the abducted NZers all about him They’ve been released and their flights home paid for by the people who love them Unlike Peters, who has all his flights paid for by taxpayers #NZPol

I see the Minister of Period Cups wants NZ Parliament to … RESTRICT USE OF THE WORD GENOCIDE … ‘cos that’s a priority. Unlike concerns of the masses re: *High Unemployment *Homelessness of thousands *Extreme cost of living *Wages & Salaries not keeping up with inflation *No new ferries 🤬🤬🤬

Winston Peters set the full force of his social media against Benjamin Doyle because he didn't like their handle and that they had photos with their child but go off about attack dogs or whatever Nicola Willis #NZPol

#nzpol Sometimes a policy is so stupid it makes you question the very fabric of reality. Decisions so fabulously, almost wantonly dumb, you wonder if we actually live in a simulation. Welcome to the world of removing Jobseeker Support for 18 & 19-year-olds. craigrenney.substack.com/p/a-small-wr...

Compare and contrast: A statement from an NZ First spokesman 6 months ago about the actions of a party member and supporter, and a statement today from that same party’s leader.

As #NZ economy tanks under #Neoliberalism, the Coalition relishes the chance for distraction & an excuse to clamp down on #protest The right's frenzy is complete. Each step advances a clear #AtlasNetwork strategy & the 💚Greens are in their way. #nzpol snarkyas.substack.com/p/as-economy...

I am so done with this bullshit. NZ First mingled with a crowd who set fire to the grounds of parliament. The Greens marched with a hīkoi that did not leave a scrap of litter on those same grounds.

Luxonomics is really killing NZ's economy #nzpol #kiwi

Can't remember Nat mps condemning farmers in their tractors protesting outside Jacinda's house. #nzpol www.reddit.com/r/newzealand...

Just to clarify my position. Ryan Bridges must be sacked. "here's a chick who..." A fucking woman you Hosking wannabe amateur misogynist hack. The whole interview was a disgrace, but even teenagers know this isn't how you speak these days if you want to be respected.

There is *literally* only one side inciting & escalating political violence & almost all NZ msm are claiming it's the other way around This is the fascist turn happening in real time. Sorry to break it to you - a bunch of propagandists & decision makers across media & business have chosen sides

@xkaosmagex.bsky.social You going to this? 🤞 We need a TLDR version 😁💗 #BHN Or a live stream? 🤔

The economy is not going to recover in time to give Luxon an election boost. This means Winston, Luxon, and Seymour will try to stir up culture wars to distract us. Don't get sucked in - just hammer home the lousy economic performance, the incredibly high cost of living, and the general despair.

Winston has had a secure taxpayer funded salary/expenses for 40+ years. He has a full fridge, a warm house & security. He has no excuse for being such a nasty, divisive, vile old man spewing discord, misinfo & hate about as well as dismantling health, safety&security for NZers & the environment.
