Lies are going around about the Greens after Scoop published a bullshit article about Wellington Council not prioritising water management in 2021 when the facts show they invested a record $2.4b The lies have been spreading fast. The piece was written by NZCPR i.e. the ACT Party affiliated group

The men who won’t grow up. One of the most boorish, uncivil man in politics can’t bear it when he even thinks he’s getting challenged. He’s as squeamish as Seymour about criticism, they dish it but can’t take it and may even make stuff up so they can play victim.

Facebook launched 22 years ago this week. In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record. Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

So back in June Alex Padilla was tackled and detained by ICE for trying to ask a question at a press conference. The story from the administration was he attacked her. Fast forward 7 months, Maxwell Frost attacked, Ilhan Omar attacked. Not a peep from the media about "turning down the rhetoric". 🙄
