So, there you have it, plenty of cash reserves but nothing for workers in health, education and other essential services (who btw are often females trying to help support their kids and family). ".. the move was designed to end any doubts that the government would not stump up extra cash." #nzpol

A principle isn't a principle until it costs you money. Discarding your principles to try and appease Trump will cost you money. This Coalition 🤡🤡🤡 are running scared and don't know how to stick to their principles because the Lux-flake❄️Nats are being run around by Seymour & Peters. #nzpol

The other side to the Coalition's dog whistle 🤡🤡🤡 All legal systems are, by definition, shaped by their own histories and values. In AoNZ that meant a legal system grounded in both tikanga Māori & the common law tradition. Far from being a weakness, this is a source of strength & legitimacy #nzpol

The 🤡🤡🤡 aren't bothering to hide their right wing, racist ideologies. If it's the case that tikanga Māori or some treaty clause in law will cause overseas investors to go elsewhere, we don't need them if it's going to cause them grief. I bet there's no such company that will react that way. #nzpol

A global taonga in our own back yard - Te Waikoropupū Springs. Please sign this petition and put a stop to destruction being sought by this Coalition of Vandals through their fast-track schemes, supposedly in the interests of getting them and their rich mates 'back on track'. #nzpol

Lux-flakes 🤡 "Bodies like the UN are very important, but I also agree that the UN needs serious reform and that's something that we've talked about for a long time here in New Zealand, as well." What are these serious reforms WE'VE talked about for a long time in AoNZ? Anyone? #nzpol

Cruella von Veldon and her heartless mates in the Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 keep sticking it to our most vulnerable work force, and especially our good female work force who mix working part time with raising their young families. Just another dagger for the less fortunate. But, hey, she's sorted. #nzpol

It's almost 2 years since the NZ election and the arrival of the Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡. Almost every key indicator is performing worse than June 2023. Infometric's Gareth Kiernan, "Part of the reason the economy has been weak has been the particularly tight fiscal approach" www.msn.com/en-nz/news/n...

A nice memory post. Matchbox toys were a big deal amongst my childhood friends. I maybe had 5 ~ 10, imagine 5,000!

Finally! Asked if it was fair to keep blaming the PREVIOUS government for the economy, Eaqub said that response was “wearing a bit thin” and it was time to acknowledge mistakes had been made. I think you got to take responsibility at some point in time, and I think that point has come” #nzpol

The gall of these 🤡🤡🤡 Asked whether job cuts in the public service or tax cuts to personal income tax and to landlords was the right approach, Willis said it was. "Without the tax reduction we delivered to New Zealanders, workers would be materially, significantly worse off right now."

The BLAME GAME continues by these 🤡🤡🤡 Now it's the Reserve Bank, Adrian Orr and, still, the previous government. No recognition of their own ineptitude, economic mismanagement, ill-advised tax cuts, tax breaks for landlords & big tobacco and putting the frighteners into the public to stop spending.

👀 Let me just say our economic mismanagement is because of the previous Labour government. Oops, sorry, because of the USA. Excuses are never ending with these🤡🤡🤡. #nzpol

AoNZ needs tax reform, and the CGT is the fairest policy option. More of the public want a CGT than oppose the idea - assuming the family home is exempt. So, there you go Labour, announce the policy, exempt the main family home and get Kieran McAnulty to explain and sell the policy. #nzpol

The Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 is useless at this whole economic management thing. The hollowing out of AoNZ continues at a rapid. #nzpol

Who would think the Solomon Islands would lead the way in in the fight against period poverty. Massive kudos to their youth-led volunteer initiative and the Government for listening and acting. Let's hope our next Government follows suit #nzpol

Not surprised that NZ Herald would hide this behind their paywall. Another entitled 🤡 taking care of himself and his 'sorted' mates. "Trusts linked to National MP Carl Bates and his family own 25 properties, which are not disclosed on Parliament’s list of MPs’ property & financial interests. #nzpol

Please read and share far and wide. The Coalition are the pits at economic management. They really are 🤡🤡🤡. #nzpol

Tik Tok! Tik Tok! Surely the clock is ticking down for this vacuous 🤡. #nzpol

Patients are getting discharged due to a lack of allied health, rehabilitation or community-based support services. The Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 has the AoNZ health system on its knees. That's what happens when you hollow out the sector and put essential nurses & support staff on the scrap heap #nzpol

“Retail is tough,” owner Colin Neal said. “It’s the economy ... you don't buy a TV to eat.” The Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 has the AoNZ economy on its knees. That's what happens when you hollow out the public sector and put essential workers on the scrap heap #nzpol

Hot on the heels of 140 jobs lost at the Eves Valley Sawmill, we have this news as a result of the Coalition of 🤡 🤡 🤡 "expertise at economic management". So much for Luxon's proclamation that the South Island economy is positively humming 🤔 #nzpol

Of course, this🤡 is "quite relaxed" about he and Nicola's $8.5 Billion hole in future funding. He and his wealthy mates have hollowed out AoNZ and in particular health, education, transport and disability support services. What me worry? Nah! "I'm wealthy and sorted" #nzpol

Shane Christie was gagged by NZ Rugby from speaking on brain injuries the year before his death (Source: NZ Herald). In (a) social media post in March 2024, he said "duty of care for players" needed to be better. NZR needs to be better!

The ‘I’m Wealthy and I'm Sorted’ Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 have Zero empathy for the rest of us. But why should they when a backbencher earns $177,653 at our expense for doing SFA. And the rest of us struggle with rising rates, grocery, electricity & healthcare costs #nzpol

LOOK AT THE GLEE ON THIS 🤡 $2 Billion on 5 helicopters!! In the meantime, Zero Fucks for our frontline essential workers in Health and Education. Voters for this Coalition of Clowns need their heads read. #Nzpol

FACTS 👊

For anyone under the impression that National isnt LOVING all the racist bull puckey #nzpol

"NEW ZEALAND IS RASCIST AS FUCK" Is it any wonder when the Uncle Tom leaders of NZ First & ACT lead the way in suppressing Te Reo and Māori culture in Aotearoa. What the hell is wrong with them? Stand up to these hypocritical bully boys 🤡🤡. We 👀you! #nzpol

WHO KNEW that the Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 was Spinless AND a bunch of Crybabies? #nzpol

This Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 is hollowing out AoNZ. 74,000 JOBS GONE!! Muppets! #nzpol

This 🤡 just keeps on wanting to play the blame game. The economy shed 2000 jobs during Q2 & 16,000 jobs over the past 12 months. If your policies & actions serve to hollow out the country's work force, then accept responsibility. Don't bang on blaming the previous Govt. It's a now tiring! #nzpol

HOBSON'S PLEDGE, ACT, NATS, NZF "NZ is New Zealand "racist as fuck'. You got that right Taika. The Hobson's Pledge lobby 🤡 group has used a Māori woman's image without her consent in a billboard campaign opposing Māori wards. #nzpol

"Look, I just think it's very easy for people to make claims." says a not even remotely empathetic Coalition Justice Minister 🤡. They don't bother even hiding their disdain for the rights of Māori to vote as they wish. #nzpol

COALITION OF 🤡🤡🤡 PRIORITIES & SECRETS. The taxpayer could be called on to provide $157 million to de-merge Te Pūkenga, the tertiary education provider. The project could cost even more. That budget was agreed to in April 2024, but the Government kept it secret until this week. Meanwhile health ...

Good ol' Sweary McSweary Lux-Flakes FFS. Cool as a cucumber when he sees his knighthood being jeopardised. Not. 🤡. #nzpol

Add young apprentices to young nurses and teachers thrown on the scrap heap by this austere Coalition of Economy Wreckers of the highest order. Oh well, they're young so Aussie then ... #nzpol

So this is the value the Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 place on rural Tasman voters. Who in the main vote National, because... well, not those lefties, Labour or the Greens. Fool me once. Fool me twice? #nzpol

🤡 Lux-flakes did no such thing as bring 🤡 Seymour into line. He said "whilst I agree with you, boss, this response needs to be made by 🤡 Winnie". Stuff, please stop trying to make it look like he's in charge when he clearly isn't. #nzpol

No money for our most vulnerable but plenty in the way of tax cuts for the wealthy #nzpol

(S) T R U T H

It's easy to tell the difference between class and an ass. #NoKings

This Bald Shiner 🤡 would see a self-important, out of touch 'worthy' every time he looks in the mirror. Way to go thinking he's sharp enough to belittle global climate scientists. He's becoming more Trumpian every day #nzpol

Many of us have been asking it since this Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡was formed. How & why did Lux-flakes allow this smarmy, arrogant, tone-deaf, conceited cockwomble with just 8% of the vote accrue so much power & influence? It's because for Luxon power was more important than principles. #nzpol

I was taught not to answer a question with a question. That's the go-to response for any tough question by this smarmy cockwomble 🤡 And then he has the audacity to dismiss the thousands of TPP & RSB submissions by us as by fake bots. Keep those submissions rolling in folks #nzpol

The #Nact Coalition of Clowns 🤡🤡🤡 can be proud of themselves. Tobacco lobbyists get what they paid access for #nzpol

More RSB fuckery by Trumpist 🤡 Seymour. He thinks the Bill is fait accompli. He's directed the F&E Committee to report back by Sept 23 – 2 months earlier than the default 6-month process. He wants it in effect on Jan 1, 2026. Hence the haste. Don't delay, get you submission in today #nzpol

Every day, the Trumpist 🤡🤡🤡 fuckery continues. “GDP doesn’t guarantee improvements to wellbeing, to our living standards." - well said Barbara Edmonds #nzpol

Lux-Flakes 🤡 & Nicky No Boats 🤡 triumphant for folk with a $500,000 mortgage but no thought for destroying the economy and livelihoods of our poorest and most vulnerable in hollowing out AoNZ to make it happen #nzpol

The hollowing out of AoNZ by this Trumpist Coalition of 🤡🤡🤡 has far reaching impact on the economy, regardless of the govts nit picking over the numbers lost. Whichever way you dice it, it's in the thousands and that is lives impacted. No wonder so many folk are heading overseas #nzpol
