Nothing to see here. Just New Zealand's leading far-right, & disinfo platform following/retweeting Martin Sellner (not for first time either). His ideology is explicitly referenced in title, & feat. throughout 'manifesto' penned by ChCh terrorist. Sellner was also sent ~$1.7k by ChCh terrorist.

Very normal sadly

About 10 years ago, at least in NZ, there was a genuine chance for queer rights to cease being a left/right faultline. Key voting for same-sex marriage, a few out National MPs etc. The policy choices of the right the last 5/6 years have meant that the faultline v much remains. And that's on them.

#watercontamination #nzpol Oh yeah and publicity wise for our "clean green image" just remember New Brighton, at the epicentre of the alert, was the finish line for the Coast-to-Coast two-day race that started on the West Coast.

And sadly as expected - seeing many of these on my feed now too. #nzpol

Water, water everywhere. Can't drink it, can't swim in it, can't survive it. Remember clean green? Being proud of AoNZ? We need serious leadership. Now. #nzpol

Just saw I have been posted over on LinkedIn celebrating #womeninSTEM so proudly sharing over here to promote both @macdiarmidinsti.bsky.social & me. Showing we can all have a place in STEM www.linkedin.com/posts/nicky-...

Two fire trucks failing at a large fire is what firefighters have been warning about for a long time. Services need a government that will invest in them #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

National posted an ad comparing the highest inflation under Labour (7.3% in 2022) vs 3.1% today. They forgot to mention that this is up from 2.2% in 2024, that inflation was high everywhere in 2022, and that Labour had lower inflation for their first 4 years #nzpol

This week's lies, damn lies, and green shoots award goes to Brad Olsen (via Susan Edmunds). This is a particularly disgusting use of data - like so bad that the article should be removed. Let's have a look... [🧵 1/n]

Sigh. As a protein biochemistry who loved working in biosecurity I just don't get how anyone can deem it slashable? Like many areas we need MORE people not less.

#nzpol Luxons govt walked away from its share of 3 Waters responsibilty, relying on the soundbite: 'Local water done well' to inoculate National/NZ First/ACT from public backlash as mismanagement comes home to roost. The Luxon govt doesn't solve problems. It just delegates them away. #NotFitToGovern

Fun fact. Until August 2025, 33% of the interislander fleet were rail enabled. Between August 2025 and unspecified 2029 date, 0% of the interislander fleet will be rail enabled. The iRex boats would have ensure 100% of the interislander fleet were rail enabled.

IT'S FEBRUARY 2026. THE RAIL ENABLED HYUNDAI FERRIES FOR I REX WERE MEANT TO ARRIVE BY NOW. Instead we have no rail enabled ferries, the two we have are clunky as fuck, and there will be no replacement ferries until 2029 at the earliest.

Yet more evidence that mandated clean air in schools is needed to combat predictable, recurring waves of within-school illness spread. In New Zealand, individual school BoTs are not equipped or prepared to take this necessary step. It must be mandated and funded by govt. #nzpol @greens.org.nz

What's wrong with this picture, #NZPOL ?

38% of young people ... this is a disaster and every journalist should be highlighting this fact rather than the nonsense about green shoots #nzpol

Global credit rating agencies warn against National Party (and Taxpayer Union) rates cap law - the modelling is fascinating and will hit Council expenses hard #nzpol #kiwi newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/04/g...

Holly FUCK Holly fucking fuck

A woman gave a cop a thumbs down (wow, so rude 🙄) so he followed her home, assaulted her, tore her clothing, and tried to force his way into her home. It seems he used his authority as a cop as a bad faith pretence for why he was retaliating to her gesture But NZ Police says they think it was okay

Rates Cap…? #nzpol #OneTermGovernment *3 Waters *Puberty Blockers *Bathroom rights 🏳️‍⚧️ *Te Reo Māori *Māori ward councillors *Anything for Māori *Immigrants (from India this time) *Oil & Gas/Mining etc etc etc

Considering all of the fires regarding the Epstien Files, one would think our media would finally pick up the Tim Jago Story and start asking why David Seymour and others hid this from everyone. Oh right, we don't have actual journalism in Aotearoa (in the mainstream media, at least). #nzpol

“When.. Luxon announced.. NZ wld match Australia’s 12% super by 2032, my ears pricked up. Until I read details. In Oz employer’s 12% is compulsory & employees can..make a voluntary contrib on top.. Under Nats proposal.. employer will be mandated to pay up to 6% if & only if employee pays 6%” #nzpol

Studied 1,000s of comments across dozens of posts on social media around the anti-immigration rally in Auckland over the weekend, incl. speech by Brian Tamaki. TLDR; it's an imported, Trumpian, far-right rhetoric. Of significant concern are attempts to undermine this year's electoral integrity.

Hmmm 🤔💭 #nzpol

Evergreen reminder that this was something she came up with, not something she was advised to do. In fact she was pretty specifically advised it was a terrible idea (it was) but she went ahead with it anyway because something something Not Real Science

They've updated the Community Roadwatch Report form so your car registration is a required field, meaning pedestrians are no longer able to lodge complaints 🫠

So what power does the law president have? Is that the real reason for so many hats this last term - to try and figure where every sector can be altered with the law? Very much an area I know nothing about and keen to learn #nzpol

This ⬇️ I’m seeing too many false balance stories. In NZ, 1News ran one last night. False balance is when reporting presents two "views" as if they had equal weight. In the case of one "side" being outright lies, investigation would be to show how they are lying, then ask why they’re lying. 1/n

This is a universal truth #nzpol

The language below has a chance of being used. But hopefully one day we can stop using terms like "underaged women" in context of rape. If they're underage they are children, girls etc. This isn't at Jonathan - they just came up on my feed. It's at how even raw violence still needs coddled.

It's wild that we can sometimes have so many news choppers people can't sleep, but for this? Zero? I haven't seen ANY overhead shots of this crowd, and I've been checking news sites for the last 40 minutes. There's just... nothing.

Arresting clergy while they PRAY.

Luxon will never make a courageous speech to risk getting his crime club membership offer withdrawn. #nzpol

The more I think about this, the more infuriated it makes me. It completely denies our history in global politics. New Zealand punched well above it's weight in the foundation of the UN. Peter Fraser must be turning in his grave.

Just so I'm really clear on this, we've got: - Increasing climate impacts including destruction and death - Continuing inflation, especially for lower income households - Massive changes to the international order And both major parties are choosing a platform of 'Nothing needs to change?' #nzpol

NZ BACK TRACK…👀 Why yes, it’s has “back-tracked” in the last 2 years. I mean wow, they’re not only saying it to you directly, they put it in a cheeky sign selfie too! 🤣🤦‍♀️ #nzpol

There is a fatal climate emergency level event affecting NZ level this past 24hrs & not one single piece of comms from the Govt on their FB about it. This is from the past couple of hours. they really don't care.

The top 6 media stories on Stuff are landslides, storms, floods. None of them mention climate change, which we know makes these events more frequent and more extreme. People have lost their lives. Homes have been destroyed. And leading politicians are in the pub having "great fun". #nzpol

Tasmania’s hospitals are about to be entirely run by this catholic private healthcare provider who very explicitly will not provide IVF, abortions, vasectomies, or gender affirming care. Access to healthcare is a human right and it should be provided - freely, and to all - by the government.

I think every single kiwi needs to know this… #nzpol #Election2026

Last year the Prime Minister skipped Waitangi and celebrated with Ngāi Tahu in Akaroa instead. This year he won’t have that option.

Our media are still perfectly happy to tag along with the NZ government cosying up to this monster. They never question them over it. They laugh it off like a joke. We need to start recording the names of our journalists that are complicit. #nzpol

For anyone still claiming any of the hurtful policies so far to be just that of the "minor partners" here's Luxon clearly claiming it all as a national party government.

From Ngati Wai in Northland on Instagram. They are calling for additional support. #nzpol www.instagram.com/p/DToVdwTElO...

#nzpol - I have had a look at these 'green shoots' ahead of the Prime Minister's State of the Nation Speech on Monday. The data tells us that we have spent two years regressing. Let’s not make it another 4. More at: craigrenney.substack.com/p/the-recove...

also goes to show just how much our government is choosing not to comment on.

This is exactly what Seymour is trying to achieve with the RSA and his other moves to prioritise corporations over communities. #nzpol
