The momentum on the left globally is from charismatic, aspirational leaders like Polanski and Mamdani Unfortunately Chippy has the charisma of a potato. The left need Labour in order to win, that's not going to happen with the entire party locked into centrism It's very bleak

#nzpol check in if you are unhappy with Luxons leadership!

@glutelord.bsky.social is essentially giving a PhD dissertation in under two minutes on how modern incel culture is coopting a very narrow and weirdly specific gay sub-culture.

Using COVID to divide the nation in 2026....Something, something Royal Commission. Trying anything to get above 250,000 votes, including gaslighting the 200,000 still suffering with long COVID. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/almost-20...

Oil Is War Wind is Peace. Oil is War Solar is Peace. Pass it on.

And the NZ business confidence survey is systematically more detached from the economy than in other countries. See @thoughtfulnz.bsky.social's evidence of this: bsky.app/profile/thou...

THIS is what they don’t mention, every time the government talks about increasing benefit amounts in April each year. And it’s not just the accommodation supplement that drops. #nzpol #beneficiaries www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Having a very polite and respectful back and forth with @airnewzealand.bsky.social Oscar chatbot about not making assumptions, after repeated use of *your husband* when talking about my partner. We are both being super nice which is improving my mood by at least 50% 😁

I also am…encouraged…when a sociopath decides not to use nuclear weapons…today WHAT THE FUCK, PRIME MINISTER

people with a health condition or disability make up OVER HALF of the approx 300,000 working-age people on a main benefit these are ppl who have to go to medical/health appts, attend WINZ appts, get their kids to school, sort out groceries/food, take kids to activities and so on and so forth

What I'd just say to you Goldie is, get on the blower to TVNZ's Chairman again & demand another apology & a puff piece as compensation! And interrogate every damn Nat MP until you find out who's leaking!! Start with bloody Bishop!!! #LyinLuxon #WorstPMever #NZpol

This is it. This is the point where anyone that still thinks the luxon govt is good for the economy is just an idiot. Every stat we have now shows us that we were better off under the previous govt and are worse off under this one. Wake up.

not great

It’s pretty hard for my carer supports and I don’t now how I can keep them if they can’t afford petrol to travel to and from me

I don't care how much you hate the Iranian regime (& I for one certainly do), its *attacks* in the strait/Israel/Gulf States are defensive. If you want them to stop, I dunno...maybe stop attacking them first.

Now I'm not an economist (well, actually 🤣) but the US hitting 39 trillion in debt, so quickly, where its debt carrying discount is based on a combination of both global trust and financial rules stability that dissuades the bond market from clipping it around the ears is... something

To be fair, Stuff originally said the information came from local Samoan news, which is why I know Luxo is full of shit

A very important point

My maunga

luxon is quite correct. His abject leadership failure is so complete and obvious, it needs nor deserves, any further discussion....

Covid 9th wave is rising, it hasnt gone away and NZ’ers are still dying from it. Nearly 200 hospitalisations and 18 deaths last week. Take care Bluesky people Those at risk dont need this. Still only 1 vaccination available. Pity the poor folk who cannot tolerate it. #nzpol

I saw Gary Stephenson speak tonight and the message was clear... If you want your children to have any chance of owning a home, we must address inequality, and that starts with taxing the wealthy

“A senior Cabinet minister has confirmed the board chair of public broadcaster TVNZ discussed concerns about its journalists’ reporting of crime statistics, in a private call days before the outlet ran a follow-up story to outline the Government’s successes.” #nzpol

Former financial adviser, David McEwen, has been convicted and fined $15,000 for breaching a banning order by the financial markets regulator, but investors remain out of pocket and he remains out of reach. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Here's a gift link to this story, which recounts the multiple times US federal agencies failed to appropriately act on evidence of Epstein's crimes. SDNY, which did prosecute Epstein and Maxwell, had some jurisdictional obstacles, the Florida office was plain corrupt. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/u...

i know we tend to “keep religion out of it” in nzpol, but think it’s actually an ideological & *corruption* issue to have a PM that is a member of a richlister prosperity gospel church & a *moral* issue that there are both National & ACT MPs with connection to a group known for sex crimes (2 by 2s)

US and Israel launch co-ordinated attack on Iran www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

Looks like Israel got tired of waiting for Trump to start a war with Iran for them and got the bombing party started themselves.

Imagine my surprise. Can this please be the last time media treats a NZF members bill ballot submission as a good faith attempt to change the law rather than a cheap headline hook? (As the story notes, Joel at the Spinoff is one of the few who've already stopped giving NZF what they want)

This 🧵 ⬇️ is really umportant, Aotearoa New Zealand. So please bookmark it, read it, and share it widely. We need to stop the further rise of white supremism. #NotOnOurWatch #nzpol

And Labour joined them on this…. #nzpol

Utterly chilling insight into how Keir Starmer's team has been operating from the beginning. As others have been pointing out for years, the Labour Party and the country have been taken for a ride. There was a coup within the party, using a host of dirty tricks. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Came out of the fugue state enough to write about it. What a fucked up time in the movie theatre that was. LOVED IT. the-opinionist.ghost.io/marama-the-h...

Winston Peters is receiving Super while also getting a high salary. Is he double dipping?? How is it OK for him, but not OK for ppl who have been injured or abused? #NZPol

Nz can't bring itself to mandate wheel chair access. But they will mandate anything for cars.

Mārama was confronting and disturbing and then to learn that this shit was common place and happened has really fucking done a number on me. Fuck colonisation. But it’s a great movie. Go watch it. Especially if you’re Pākehā.

Investing in infrastructure is expensive. Not investing in infrastructure is even more expensive, eventually.

The “Nicola Willis only has a BA in English lit“ crowd are feeding the same misogyny as “Nicky No Boats”. Cullen had an MA, Bill English an Honours degree in English lit, Robertson a BA and Joyce a BSc in zoology. These dudes educational background is same or even less suited but barely mentioned.
