There's too many politicians decrying that decency, community, ethics and a whole host of other 'woke' words are bad. Yesterday's cartoon showed Winston's response to it. They're showing us who they are when these things don't matter anymore. They do matter. And they always will!

Good to see someone has a plan, thanks NZ Greens.

Can we as taxpayers ensure that due to Franz Josef ratepayers insistence to not pay to safeguard the stopbanks that the taxpayers do not pay to help when flooding occurs. Can we as home and property insurance payers please ask the insurance companies to only charge the Franz Josef community

I'm noticing more people out on bikes. Some of them look as if they haven't biked in a while and are a bit uncertain about how to do it on city streets. Can drivers of motor vehicles please be patient and kind while bikers regain skills and confidence. And can Cabinet Ministers please say this too.

Oh the irony 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

I can’t believe we’re mainstreaming this shit. This is what happens when the billionaires own the media.

This should be career-ending for Ms Willis 🤬🤬🤬 #OneTermGovernment #NZPol

Can anyone explain why gas/petrol is going up now in price when it has been in the country for weeks. I understand any bought now to be imported costing more but I don’t understand the gas/petrol that was already bought before the Iran war going up - other than willful price gouging.

The same cry babies that winge about cycleways, bus lanes and renewable energy are now the loudest complainers of high fuel prices. It is so important that we as a society start seeing that, because it is that same backwards thinking that stops us from getting anywhere!

Free marketing advice for NZ Greens or NZ Labour or TPM Slogan: YOU DESERVE BETTER Billboard outside ferry terminal: YOU DESERVE BETTER Pay equity: YOU DESERVE BETTER Health system: YOU DESERVE BETTER School lunches: YOU DESERVE BETTER Cut this, slash that: YOU DESERVE BETTER etc...

With GDP barely rising at the end of 2025, Labour says families are feeling the strain and the Government has left New Zealand exposed to global shocks.

Luxon on NZ rejecting WHO pandemic rule changes #nzpol

ANOTHER puff piece for TOP This is blatant promotion of a party who don't actually exist apart from a very thin veneer TOP are being funded by right wing donors to split the vote. Their "policies" are laughable, and they have no candidates #nzpol

This is what is possible.

RAD is an Ōtautahi Christchurch taonga! www.radbikes.co.nz

"Ashley Bloomfield has been given plaudits internationally for the role he played in brokering this agreement and for him to see his own country turn its back on him is just outrageous; it’s heartbreaking.” ( Helen Clark quote)

This time last year finance minister Nicola Willis came out all guns blazing saying she was going to fix the supermarket duopoly. Except she didn’t. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Scoop: NZ has rejected post-pandemic changes to the WHO's global health rules without providing a reason, making it one of just five countries to do so. "This is reputation-wrecking. People will think that we’ve lost our mind," says former PM Helen Clark. newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/18/n...

Of all the days the could have done a ceremonial burning of Ardern's book, they picked the anniversary of the Christchurch mosque shooting (coincidence?) www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-t...

How strange to have this come up in an Election year 🤔. Especially when the latest poll had everyone asking when (not if) would the PM be removed as PM. How strange indeed, almost, some could say, a fluff piece waiting to be published for that embarrassing poll.

#NZPOL www.samoaobserver.ws/category/sam...

So let me get this straight - Luxon is going to fly to Samoa in the middle of a global oil shortage so he can receive an award. An award that he *asked* to be given. Not one that was offered to him. How very Trumpy of him. #nzpol

I surmise someone who will be leaving parliament soon wished she had asked for a title from Samoa and will be very jealous now.

Can @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social or @chewienz.bsky.social use your connections to assist Samoa to get FIFAs help to give a participation trophy to the PM 😜

- fonterras greedy shareholders have sold “our” brands, watties sold out years ago, even our beloved local Barkers is now owned by the french. If success means selling our food security off shore to satisfy personal greed then tell me again about trickle down? #FoodInsecurity #NZPol

As we as having the same surname it doesn’t surprise me how often I repost you. I think we have very similar views as well as surname 😃. I’d only change one thing from your post - it’s that I (and I surmise you) think “Poverty is Actually Government Policy “.

Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol

THIS. If that lockdown had lasted another week, I wouldn't have been able to attend my mother's funeral on the East Coast - which was the day after she died. But she wouldn't have had the grace of being able to die in her own bed if the "let it rip" goons had been in charge.

I surmise that their reading rates are better than the poor kids that died from Covid 😞. Forever thankful that NZ did such a fantastic effort to save lives. Forever angry by the conservative right, MSM, politicians and social media frazzled minds that value themselves over the lives of everyone else

Watched my dad get a 4 year sentence at a maximum security facility over blue collar crime while pedophiles are put on quick Home Detention stints. Remember when National said their "Tough on Crime" was working?

Haven’t been watching much of the news lately but watching tonight makes me think a lot of the American government is made up of cosplaying losers who would have lived in their mums basement into their 30s.

A chocolate fish for the first journalist to ask Luxon or Willis "Will you take full responsibility for the rise in inflation this year due to Geo-political events, considering you demanded the same of Labour during the last election campaign?" #nzpol

The cost-of-living crisis is different from rising inflation. Starting with food, power, & rentals, an incoming progressive government must signal that it has finished playing nicely with supermarkets, electricity gentailers, and landlords. ganeshnana.substack.com/p/a-policy-f...

#nzpol Heads up and pay attention Aotearoa NZ. There's going to be a deluge of dirty politics and lies thrown at us on social media this year. Please remember to go to party websites to read published policies. Do due diligence and watch out for each other. 💪 theconversation.com/ai-is-alread...

Green Party petition regarding move-on orders for the unhoused. action.greens.org.nz/stop_homeles...

This one is pretty good

Another thing that really needs immediate attention is the call to action to join the party. It's hiding down in the footer and should be smacking you in the face Ngā mihi

Meridian, Contact, Mercury and Genesis Energy are reporting record profits. Meanwhile, are your power bills any lower?

“Christchurch Hospital has started rationing dialysis to two sessions per week from three because of a Government-imposed sinking lid on spending to ensure Crown spending to GDP gets down below 30%, 1News reported last night” #nzpol

It all starts with a short visit to the lovely folks at IRD, who in 2021 started a research project about high-wealth individuals and how much tax they actually pay. One of the outputs from that work was a report in 2023, that was pretty damning www.ird.govt.nz/hwi-research...

Maybe it's futile to ask conservatives to think a little harder, but the answer to "why are we bringing in immigrants when youth unemployment is at 15%?" Is actually pretty simple Those unemployed 19 year olds are not qualified nurses, software developers, or engineers

New Zealanders support more taxes on ultra-rich, new poll shows

I’m thinking Trump would not grab a fire extinguisher to help save people, but run through people to get himself out. He is the George Constanza President. The more I think of it, Seinfeld was a precursor of MAGA. All for themselves and as Hillary Clinton said - Despicable.

RNZ broke the story earlier this week and it has been almost radio silence since then. This is big news with limited media focus, and no interest from the NZ Government in responding to questions. The NZ Greens are the only opposition party quoted in the story. This needs much more attention, now.

Behind every number. Since 2022 the number of New Zealand children living in hardship has increased by 47,500. Seems like that’s by design. My #cartoon #Children #Hardship #poverty #NZpol #families #whānau

Yes: it is called investing in education, investing industry, investing in good old fashioned public works that is not a Roads of National Significance Doing this might also turn record migration to Australia around back to Aotearoa

Reacting to Labour's devastating loss to the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer claims that only Labour can unite communities. I agree. He convinced Muslims to vote for a white working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish man.

Paging @chrishipkins.bsky.social

It’s been said many times but this is a policy choice - it’s devastating.
