Government ministers differ on how brazenly New Zealand should flout its international commitments. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

“There’s a very dire situation happening when it comes to who speaks for the Palestinians,” @jeremyscahill.com told Drop Site Live. “No matter how much servitude Abbas engages in, no matter how weak and decrepit the PA is, it’s still too Palestinian for the Israelis.” He said Israel and the US...

It’s ok Donald, move into the Light… go, follow the Light… (ssshh don’t tell him the light is fires in Hell)

MPs and public figures (Willis, Seymour, King) out here defaming the people that criticise them and nz media are choosing the side of the MPs almost every time it seems genuinely what is wrong with nz reporters at this point

As a BHN watcher and huge fan of yours, I'm VERY disappointed you have chosen to run against an incumbent Green MP. This electorate choice is NOT a good strategic move, you don't need to be going against those who would be your coalition partner. Kenepuru or Kapiti would have been better options

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Palestinian prisoner Abdulkarim Sanobar’s home in the occupied West Bank was blown up by the Israeli military, after he was accused of a bomb attack on empty buses in February. Rights groups say blowing up the homes of prisoners is collective punishment and a war crime.

Winston and the cookers still yelling about Jacinda being a criminal. Morons. #NZPol

Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

There was a literary distinction between right & wrong. Now…

Surely this is grounds to shut Compass down for a full investigation. Food poisoning warning after Christchurch students eat contaminated school lunches www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Total government expenditure on climate: 2022/23 - $800m 2023/24 - $1,083m 2024/25 - $1,225m 2025/26 - $657m That's a 46% drop from last year to this and the lowest amount ever since the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment started compiling these figures. 1/2

Disabled people already have extremely low employment rates because no motherfucker will hire us. And we have a disability advocacy page actively advocating for AI to take the few jobs available.

I...have no words. #nzpol

Imagine calling yourself disability advocacy but then advocating for the further disenfranchisement of both maori and disabled people like a fuckin chump

Can someone please tell @nzheretic.bsky.social to stop attacking, and attempting to doxx my friend - my Disabled friend, who he is accusing of 1) being a bot 2) being a russian account 3) being a grift account. I can assure you, she is not, I know her IRL - you need to stop harassing her immediately

he's being turned into a pastry before our eyes

Americans who saw through the propaganda for war in the middle east but now fully buy into it for regime change in Venezuela are the weirdest. That’s like managing to pull your head out of your ass, taking a deep breath, and then shoving it right back in there.

Looks like we’re going to war. I didn’t vote for this, did you?

ice is using uber stickers on their cars as a disguise heads up pdx

I am very much out of money atm. If people can help I'd really appreciate it a lot

Please do not ignore me. I am a disabled person trying to help mt community and also still be able to buy food after bills etc

NZ health workers were on strike today. They deserve huge pay rises. They work harder than politicians. They know huge amounts about their fields and are very well trained. What’s the training for politics? Running a business into the ground? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

He’s an oxygen thieving cunt. That’s what he is.

In some good news, today PATHA has finally been able to release the 2025 Guidelines for Gender Affirming Care in Aotearoa New Zealand. You can read them here: patha.nz/resources-an...

For context, these were due to be published in March 2025. The NZ govt prevented their publication because they intended to ban puberty blockers and the guidelines show they are safe, effective, and standard care internationally. Today they were released in an OIA putting them in the public domain.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

Nothing to see here just Sam 'bed leg' Uffindell lying his god damned arse off again. I didn't know young people who are pushed onto the dole spend 18 years on it. Fucking lying piece of abusive lying shit.

can labour kick hipkins already lol like... he's been more supportive of ACT and NZF MPs than this AND we're well past the point where Labour should be kicking itself in the face over this stuff - Wood, at the very least, has done his time www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro... Good news about the tech sector! But some telling details: the top 200 tech companies invest more into R&D than the govt... Because this govt slashed R&D funding. The tech sector sees huge opportunities in renewable energy. This govt doesn't. Maybe they should. #nzpol

We grew up being told "you'll get more conservative as you age" but it turns out becoming more conservative isn't about aging it's about accruing wealth, which we didn't do as we aged because for most of us home ownership was out of reach www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

why the US consulate/Embassy and fresh new FBI office in Wellington all need to be *expelled* into the sea.

US Consular staff in your country need to be treated as an active threat.

a party here actually needs to run aggressively against US interests here and specifically with a promise to kick out the FBI who have absolutely no good reason to be here and getting worse

this is so fucked given the multitude of live issues with “AI” use in medicine - veracity, privacy, functionality but the fact AI has been directly implicated in suicides *should* ensure that it’s ruled out entirely in this space, especially given the lack of resources currently

Another Monetary Policy Statement, another 'whoopsie we over-cooked the whole job crushing thingy'. Forecast GDP still falling away (bye). What else? [1/n]

It's just not a defensible position. If you'd repeal it, it's implied you think it's bad. If you supported it in the first place, it was for reasons other than good intent. You're guilty of malpractice - not in the subjective eye of the public, but worse - guilty in your own eyes.

I do not know off the top of head what is in the oath an incoming government makes to the Governor General, but it seems like passing legislation you actually think is bad should be some kind of breach of it www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

dear men: plz find a route to self-actualization that doesn’t run through someone else’s uterus

Christ on a bike, these fucking idiots are ruining the country for no other reason than coalition agreements. VOTE THEM OUT #nzpol

Stop the fucking bus, I’ve had enough.

246,473 people voted for ACT in 2023 Over 98% of public submissions against the Regulatory Standards Bill Every other party wants rid of it Yet Luxon sold us all out for a knighthood #nzpol

We need more such people! 🤗 🐧
