In today’s NZ Herald #nzpol

Drs (and nurses, teachers too) only ever strike as an absolute last resort - and because they care about YOU and the service they can provide to you. Unsafe staffing impacts you. Exhausted Drs impacts you. Underpaid Drs means they LEAVE. I stand with our Drs today, and always. #nzpol

All the positive and warm vibes to the 5500 doctors on the picket lines this morning getting wet as. Please do NOT let them all get sick. That would really be injury on insult. #nzpol

A dude at Charlie Kirk’s memorial rally said “god saved Donald Trump from an assassin’s bullet”. Wow, sick burn on Charlie hahaha.

Nothing new will get built this side of the 2026 election. No-one's coming back from Oz to build them. THREE WASTED YEARS & a lost generation of tradies, just to fund landlord tax cuts.

Public Service Commissioner points out that by withdrawing their labour, primary school teachers will demonstrate the importance of their labour to society in general.

I don’t know if small businesses around Pōneke are uncritically displaying posters for Bitter Wellington / Independent Together candidates or actually support them, but this voter is taking her keep cup and getting her caffeine fix elsewhere. If my spending is the only power I have, so be it. #NZPol

I want to emphasise the importance of anyone with a progressive or even a fair-minded bone in their body in the Wharangi Onslow-Western ward giving me their first preference. Please hit up friends in Karori, Ngaio, Wilton, Northland, Wadestown, Khandallah etc to check they voted

Spot the difference. (Feat. quotes from Stuart Nash, formerly Labour Min of Police, Min for Oceans and Fisheries, Min of Tourism and Hospitality, Min of Forestry, now good friend of NZ First. No intro needed for the other fellow quoted) My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #USA #Trump

this exists it is called thinking

#nzpol Me aro koe ki te hā o Hine-ahu-one. Respect us. Value us. Pay us. This was the message that came from thousands of New Zealanders today, as we gathered across the motu to celebrate wāhine and fight back against the Government’s horrendous attacks on pay equity.

Pay equity funeral march this morning in Nelson Whakatū. Well organised and attended. Poignant speeches from a nurse and a carer. Many photographers so hopefully the msg will get out there. At the end there were sausages, ballons for the kids and a stall helping folks to register to vote #nzpol

What do we want? Pay Equity When do we want it? NOW When Women's Rights are Under Attack. Stand Up Fight Back! #RiseUpForPayEquity #TāmakiMakaurau

Jeff Bell sums it up perfectly. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Carmel on fire at the pay equity rally in Auckland. Labour WILL reverse the changes this wretched government has made to pay equity.

A Strawpoll to swing on a boring Saturday afternoon if you celebrate www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... #NZPol

#nzpol “I think this government needs to stop and really take a look at the people, and work for the people that they're representing, because they're working for their big buddies with big money, they're not working for society.” www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

#nzpol “[CTU Secretary Mellissa] Ansell-Bridges said this was "more than a protest — it is a celebration of the women who nurture, lead, and resist". "It honours the suffrage legacy and amplifies our collective power to shape the future." www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/20/p...

#nzpol Big turnout for the Women’s Day of Action for pay equity. Billions of dollars have been stolen from low-paid female dominated workforces. This government can find huge tax cuts for tobacco companies, landlords, and big businesses - but not fair pay. That must change.

This TikTok should be titled: “The Right Wing Explained” Well worth 90s of your time, & very applicable to the incoherent hypocrisy & gaslighting we see from Seymour, Peters & the Luxo-pool Noodle. This will get worse the longer NACT hold power here in NZ as it will feed their tantrum. #nzpol

Women's Day of Action: Rise up for Pay Equity #nzpol www.together.org.nz/women_s_day_...

I’m gutted I can’t be there in person cos I’m stress-writing an assignment due āpōpō 🙄 but I’m studying in my solidarity outfit accessorised with badge gifted by @verbscape.bsky.social #WomensDayOfAction #PayEquity #UnionStrong #NZPol

This is both sad and funny. Hilarious how bad they are at politics. #nzpol

Born in 1873 Maori scholar Mākereti Papakura is believed to be the first indigenous woman to matriculate at University of Oxford. She enrolled in 1922 to read Anthropology at Pitt Rivers Museum but tragically died just before graduating. She will be awarded a posthumous degree in Oxford next week.

#nzpol Be seen. Be heard. 💪

Three candidates to avoid if you’re voting in #LowerHutt. #wellington #nzpol https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360754019/investigation-united-hutt-electoral-returns-ramping-years-after-complaint

It turns out, and this may be a shock to some, that talking about growth whilst implementing regressive policies seen to have failed multiple times before, and cutting public spending on vital things like housing and infrastructure doesnt actually provide growth..

Aoteroa New Zealand: I'm reposting this just in case you missed it. Anyone voting (or running) in local body elections, particularly Wellington ones, should be aware of these enabler names. We all need to follow the money so we know who's behind dirty politics. thespinoff.co.nz/wellington/1...

A week after celebrating 2 yrs since my lung cancer diagnosis, successful surgery and chemo, today's scan results show a nodule in the other lung. Looks like it's small, non-invasive, and unrelated to previous one, but #FuckCancer, this is not a roller coaster I want to be on. #QuitSmokingNow

Tell Federated Farmers to p*ss off. Aotearoa New Zealand's water does not belong to FF and they don't have first dibs on how it's used and FF does not get to set our nation's water quality standards and protections either. #nzpol

since Q&A won’t include the progressive Mayoral candidate for Wellington, I will post about him again. #nzpol

#NZQandA: Ray Chung wants to reduce Operating Expenditure. No electric chargers for cars. Andrew Little wants people to be able to afford to live here and to have jobs and housing. Karl Tiefenbacher wants more cuts. Opposes Living Wage for council workers. #NZpol www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/14/w...

I’m seeing pōhutukawa or rātā (I’m not cluey enough to tell the difference) starting to flower around Pōneke yet spring has only just sprung. Long hot summer ahead or climate change confusing the natives? #Kikorangi

#NZPol TPM-linked provider found to have not misused funds to promote TPM. News you won’t read on Stuff, the harold or RNZ. newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/12/w...

You can also get your “Women’s Day of Action” merchandise but apparently today is the day to order #NZPol www.together.org.nz/r?u=tptJiNLg...

Karl Tiefenbacher even admitted at this hui that he didn’t support #LivingWage because his ice cream shops would have to make $200K more profit to cover it. In other words, his business is only profitable if he pays his staff the least he can get away with.

When people show you who they are, believe them. #nzpol #nzpolitics #NZFirst

Nicola Willis accusing someone else of 'economic illiteracy' is...quite something 😵‍💫 #wherestheboatsnicola #nzpol
