Glimpsed while Winston exposed Aotearoa to international shame and condemnation, MFAT officials looking glum, with one sporting a Flying Nun sticker on their laptop.

No. You are not a friend to Palestine. You are aligned with the oppressors of Palestine. #nzpol

Shame shame shame #nzpol

Someone is going to have to pay to keep the country's finances in order, says Treasury, and since it obviously can't be landlords or tobacco companies or the wealthy, we're afraid it's going to have to be you.

Kimmel: "He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now."

Luxon's take after Trump's batshit crazy speech at the UN is that the UN needs reform. #nzpol

Why do cannibal movies show people being cooked alive? That's a terrible way to prepare and cook a large animal.

National, laser-focused on the economy

Well, that should be the end of the belief in Razor. A disaster of an international coach who has not able to put together a team to perform. A humiliation. #NZLvRSA

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

MPs at the Climate Change and Business Conference sat on a panel titled "Beyond Adaptation: Can we secure a cross-party approach?" The answer, after a watch-through-your-fingers car wreck of a discussion, was a resounding no. newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/10/e...

Nice piece from John Campbell. www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/06/j...

Te Arikinui has set her vision for the future: one that rejects reliance on government support and instead builds an independent Māori economic path.

A guy standing for council here has hoardings that say: Loyal. Technical. Dougal. What does it mean? Is he an AI candidate? #nzpol

I feel sorry for her husband.

On our community notice board is a home school family looking for 8-10 other families to bring together each day on a bespoke site for education, socialisation & collective activities like sports. School. They've discovered school.

So bottom trawling is an exact art where they avoid anything that's not the fish we're trying to pull up AND a fine enough net to pull up a cellphone from 400m

The economy must be going super good when the Reserve Bank Governor and Chair resign within six months of each other, having both conflicted with the Finance Minister over the role of the Reserve Bank and how it is funded to be independent. That's a sign of the recovery being around the corner.

So much winning! You'll get sick of winning! #nzpol

Free Speech Union have really got their eye on the ball, fighting for the right of a kid to give a speech espousing racist theories grounded in foundational Nazi idelology

They want to scrap the diagnosis of death within six months. I lost count at one thousand of how many times we were told this would never happen. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Absolutely brilliant 👇😀😀😀

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

Other people have better imposter syndrome than me I bet

When did the National-led government say that their new approach to teaching English would require removing Māori language from teaching materials?

If your "structured literacy approach" with its "phonics sequencing and decoding suitability" cannot accommodate a handful of commonly-used words of te reo Māori YOUR APPROACH IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This is awesome #nzpol

I assume the mistake they mean is saving lives

These are the seven words in the Māori book that was removed by Erica Stanford's Ministry of Education for having too many Māori words #kiwi #Aotearoa

Superman was just the hopeful I needed with all the shit going on at the moment. Best superhero movie I have seen in years.

"The way Shane Jones talks you'd think NZ First got 60%"

"Don't take it personally" - Willis to 16,000 people who lost jobs due to the economic approach, some of whom have lost houses, whose partner has left them because of the pressure, who haven't had medical procedures because they can't afford it. Yeah, don't take that personally. #nzpol

Says it all #nzpol

Local elections in NZ are a democratic mess. 78 councils, no central info, run by private companies. I’ve compiled every 2025 local govt candidate (including their affiliation) into one searchable tool - because someone had to. #nzpol theprogressreport.co.nz/local-candid...

So let me get this straight. We invite the FBI boss to Wellington to open an office. He then says he'll use it to spy on our top export buyer, China, who is then as pissed as. Then Trump HIKES our tariff to 15% from 10%, making us less competitive vs Australia's beef/wine exports to US - still 10%.🤷‍♂️

It's weird our PM can't say "fucking Chris Hipkins." Frickin' is what a child says looking for a reaction from the adults, not what someone who is genuinely annoyed and affronted says.

Funny how knowing you're going to have curry for lunch makes the day just a little bit better

Honestly, this is like something 8 year olds would create to build their moon rocket #nzpol

I think a lot about how when Casablanca was filmed, nobody knew who would win WW2.

“There are now suggestions that even Treaty settlements themselves may be seen as negotiable by the Crown, despite statements in the coalition agreement that they would be upheld.” — Melanie Nelson.

I too am capable of this eating plan & body transformation. Somebody let Razor know.

“The current Govthas taken this to a whole new level. Last year, when confronted with some evidence on the efficacy of bootcamps the PM responded: “I don’t care what you say about whether it does or doesn’t work.” A dishonourable position about knowledge; a genuine refusal to acquire it.” #NZpol

Ah yes, makes sense. Shoplifters will definitely wait around to be fined.

Yeah, this US lot have never met a Māori. There's pretty much nothing we won't eat. www.idrlabs.com/food-choice/...

Gareth Hughes: it is a genocide (in Palestine) Katherine Ryan: in your view DOES SHE SERIOUSLY THINK THE ICC WANTS TO ARREST NETANYAHU FOR FUN. I’m so sick of this. This cannot go on. What are we doing here.

The Baileys went from being conventional medical doctors to sovereign citizens who deny germ theory. They now have a popular Substack where they have advised cancer patients to not get chemotherapy and for people with mental illnesses to go off their meds www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3607...
