Unexpected item in the banger area 🙌🎧

Um didn’t Winston do that last week? Is there a coordinated response from our government or are all the ministers just doing their own thing? And honestly, as if anyone will listen to Willis. She should just text them and save the jet fuel. #NZPol

David Seymour: put me in charge and *everybody* dies!

#nzpol🚨 URGENT LETTER FROM @sandragreynzctu.bsky.social TO PARTY LEADERS REGARDING FUEL CRISIS:

Simeon Brown is laying out the messages you will hear all year on the other place. These messages are well-rehearsed and will be relentlessly pushed. Labour have failed miserably to stop these reckons becoming embedded as facts in the national psyche. So, another quick recap of reality... [🧵1/n]

Who is the 'Tax Payer Union' and what are they up to? Hint, they're not a union. They seem to be waging war on Māori. So who are they, who does their dirty work, and how do they roll? A revealing investigation sheds some light👇 teatatinotoa.substack.com/p/is-tpu-wag... #nzpol #atlasnetwork

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

Āe, truly disgusting. And the "... fostered and celebrated by most political parties ..." is saddeningly revolting💔. People who receive 'benefits' are just that ... *people*🙏🏾. The 'benefits' are recompense to people, for *our* failure to ensure opportunities are available & accessible *to all*❤️.

So great to see renewables plus batteries are collapsing power prices where they are rolled out at scale. The NZ Govt may be trying to reinvent the 1950s, with its love of expensive climate killing fossil fuels, but elsewhere history is moving on. www.newscientist.com/article/2514...

In a world of changing values, one piece of advice remains constant:

Swollen RFK Jr. Warns Americans Not Eating Enough Bees https://theonion.com/swollen-rfk-jr-warns-americans-not-eating-enough-bees/

Quiet privatisation of a whole service.

Peace is and always has been union business. This Anzac Day in Wellington a group of organisations working for peace, ecological well-being and decolonisation will be holding the Hīkoi for Peace. @sandragreynzctu.bsky.social will be speaking. Head along to stand for peace this Anzac Day. #nzpol

Brutal.

Fucking disgraceful. #nzpol #winstonpetersisaprick #fucktrump

I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂 Best with volume up.

Scotland temporarily ran entirely on wind power as turbines generated over 200 percent of national electricity demand.

Unclear if killing whole civilisations came up. #nzpol

In case New Zealanders don’t realise, that’s Winston Peters and our flag on the left there. This is what we’re getting associated with.

#NotMyForeignMinister Who is Peters actually representing? Not the Aotearoa I know and am proud to be a citizen of. #NZPol

I have no doubt that Luxon makes sure he claims any and all donation tax credits for donations over $5; so a good 30% back into his pocket. He is, of course, entitled to do that.

One for the history books, by Ugly Ink.

The 2026/27 Living Wage rate is $29.90 and if you’re not paying it to your workforce where’s your moral and/or ethical compass? “Paying the Living Wage rate is voluntary. Employers who pay the Living Wage want to make sure their workers get enough money to live with dignity.” #nzpol 1/n

The analysis from Bex in this must read thread is spot on #nzpol

There's a lot to unpack in this article, but what stands out to me is this is a teenaged girl (14yo) performing sex acts for...Uber Eats. A child, selling nude pics for food. And a wealthy man, who had the means to send her food, for free, but required pics first. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

& the sad thing about the lie, no one cares about corrections - well those in Seymour's cult don't care about the corrections www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/591...

How accurate this satirical caricature of Trump by Norwegian artist Christian Bloom for a newspaper comment by journalist Frithjof Jacobsen on December 2nd, 2016. It was clear as day already back then. Too bad so many didn't take it seriously, so here we are.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

She's a great cartoonist

Thank unions for this long weekend actually, thank unions for weekends. Period. #nzpol The best time to join a union was yesterday, the next best time is today. union.org.nz/find-your-un...

Thankfully I got a booster yesterday, along with my flu shot. 💉💪🏼

Another @nzpsa.bsky.social win Join your union✊🏻 #nzpol

Corporates/businesses/individuals in NZ who trumpet their charitable giving and/or volunteer for charities that assist people with limited resources BUT DON’T PAY THEIR WORKERS A LIVING WAGE are cos playing they’re part of the solution when they’re a large part of the problem. #nzpol

#NZpol Max Rashbrooke argues the fuel crisis package isn’t targeted to the right people -

Why does every picture of Simon Watts remind me of this guy? #NZPol

Hmm. This seems far from all Wright... #nzpol

Men still won't won't consult the map or admit they're lost though.

Well done. #NoKings

Essential reading, we were so very lucky to have Jacinda in charge Many Kiwis have no idea how bad it was, because it wasn't here #kikorangi

Poll position. I don’t think I can stand another eight months of this. My #cartoon #NZpol #NZElection26

The man who threw an absolute toddler tantrum over being asked to wear high-vis on an active work site does not give a single damn about "hard-working, blue-collar workers"

They started down this path to advocate for their lost loved ones. Now they are advocating for all of us ✊❤️ #StandWithPike newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/26/p...

Thanks @maramadavidson.bsky.social and @greens.org.nz for pushing this.

The govt back-tracked on part of the Fisheries Amendment Bill – removing minimum size limits for commercial fishers – and then squabbled over credit. But all the other issues remain. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Fisheries #Environment #MarineLife
