Vanessa Weenink reckons it doesn't matter if the leader of the party is not the strongest player? In theory perhaps, but in reality this is how resentment builds. www.facebook.com/share/v/1A4H...

There really isn’t any moral test that Luxon can’t fail. #nzpol

Loved this Jon Stewart and Jacinda Ardern conversation. Too many leaders weaponise fear. True leadership treats power as responsibility—to act with empathy, optimism & courage, and to improve lives. A good reminder right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJg1...

Chris Hipkins need to say yes to every interview. The more people hear him talk, the more they will like him. Kind of the opposite of the other Chris.

We are told that we should celebrate farmer success and pay extortionate prices for butter? Is it fair?

Am I reading this wrong or are they sending a Blackwater mercenary to 'take care of' the ethnic communities, like should we be scared/arming ourselves

So I assume the new Minister of Health will be lobbying the new Minister of Transport to undo the speed limit shenanigans of the previous Minister of Transport, right?

A government that is more focused on to locking people up in prison for longer, than helping them to live productive lives, have their priorities wrong. Cutting funding to community services is expensive.

Wondering why Liberterians are always trying to call themselves anything but a Libertarian? Are they ashamed of their ideology? I have never come across progressive who do not proudly own their progressive views and work.

Deborah Hart called the situation in Gaza 'perceived wrongdoings.' Let's be clear: killing 44,835 people, including 17,492 children, isn't perceived—it's wrong. Full stop. And yes, antisemitic behavior in NZ is wrong too. Surely we can hold both truths at once? www.aljazeera.com/news/longfor...

On the Bridge of the Ferry Simulator. (When we finally get some new ferries, maybe they shouldn’t have an Autopilot, because we really can’t be trusted with an Autopilot setting) My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Ferries

ON QUIETLY UPPING THE I-REX FERRIES NUMBER FROM $3b to $4b: Yesterday this govt found a few words for them to use as an excuse to say i-Rex cost $4b Up until yesterday - and for a year - everyone, including this Coalition right wing, agreed on the $3b figure. Don't let it go unnoticed. #nzpol

I'm thinking about the Marsden project I'm part of, only just 8 months into our 3 years, & the data we already have on the truly f*'ing awful experiences of women leaders of online abuse & the work still to be done to help remedy that & IN WHAT GODFORSAKEN WORLD IS THAT WORK NOT OF VALUE?? #nzpol

I think New Zealand has a religious disagreement with Christopher Luxon. He thinks he's God, and we disagree.😕

Government waste #cartoon #nzpol #repost

Researchers pen scathing open letter to Minister over Marsden Fund changes "I find it immensely ironic that the Minister is basing this decision on its benefit to the economy, when the study of the economy is itself classed as a social science."

Did I hear the Mainfreight managing director say "Everything seems to take longer with this government."? I thought business confidence is up? #NZPol

Thanks to the team who put this important piece together so Rutherford Discovery Fellows could unite in their opposition to the Marsden Fund changes.

What an appalling minister he is. It's a very bad sign that coalition members are tossing around 'woke' as a pejorative. It's up there with snowflake and virtue signalling as a marker of sneering right wing rejection of basic decency. #nzpol

So Te Whatu Ora is canned after a year for so-called failing to deliver but this ferry announcement after a year is professed to be a success. Yeah, right. #nzpol

I really don't know why people keep voting for Winston Peters. He clearly hates his job. Put him out of his misery.

Winston Peters is just exhausting to listen to. Argh!

The only two things that happened this year to 'improve the economy'—downward inflation and interest rates coming down—were set on track by the Labour government. Not that Christopher Luxon and Nicola Willis would ever acknowledge that. #NZPolitics #NinetoNoon

Facing redundancy at 58 is terrifying. Condescending messages like this might fire up Christopher Luxon's supporters, but they suck the life out of those in the Unemployed Club. People need compassion and support when life gets hard, not judgment.

I don’t think the texts between key members of Vision For Wellington and Luxon/Simeon demonstrate it’s a right-wing front group, But try to imagine any circumstance in which a similar “apolitical” group had a text trail like this with PM Jacinda. #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

If the libertarian free-market ideas of the Atlas Network, championed by David Seymour, have failed millions of Americans in healthcare, why would New Zealand be any different? Let's not import more inequality. #NZPolitics #FreeMarketFails

This is the future David Seymour & ACT want for NZ: free-market healthcare & education modeled on Atlas Network ideas. Govt policy is shifting us this way, but let’s be clear—this is no utopia, no matter what Seymour says. Great profit = greater inequality. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Wonder if we started thinking about depression as having potentially life-threatening outcomes, would we treat it with the same urgency as physical life-threatening conditions? #MentalHealthAwarenes

Not only have NACT1 murdered EV sales they have crashed the economy so hard they've slowed car sales significantly too. #nzpol

All these polls showing National losing support are nonsense. It’s not what Christopher Luxon hears on the ground—Koru Club & boat club members assure him he’s crushing it. He doesn’t trust polls anyway. The only one that counts is election day. Maybe he should call a snap election to prove it. 🤔
