  1. Petition of Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated: Do not remove or amend #TeTiriti principles or references in legislation.

    We regard #TeTiritioWaitangi as the founding agreement of #Aotearoa #NewZealand. We believe that legislation should continue to recognise and uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi as a guiding constitutional document and that Treaty clauses remain essential safeguards in government decision-making. In our view, changes of this significance should not proceed without meaningful consultation and engagement with #Māori, including iwi, hapū, and whānau, as well as the wider public.

    Might I suggest that government's that don't use #Ai are also far more in touch with the needs of the people they govern. #NZPol #DitchThePricksIn26 #PartyVoteGreen #PartyVoteAgainstAi

  8. @aligorith I know what this is about, but at first I thought it was #nzpol, NATS / National Party having another bad day 😁

  9. Email for paying subscribers in full. Health NZ says hospitals mostly 100% full in early August before worst of flu outbreak hit-RNZ; National offers Councils some of visitor levy instead of bed tax; Outgoing ANZ CEO calls again for CGT #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/under-fund...

    Under-funded hospitals overflo...

    I'd shop there. Was this meant to scare people? Oh NO! Lower prices.....

  16. "We’ll fund the infrastructure needed for tourism - without whacking a bed tax on Kiwis." - Nicola Willis and Lupston.

    Odd to see colleagues of bully-boy Sam use "bed" and "whack" in the same "post".

  17. but Crime is down says Nats and their fudged stats....

    SOME of TODAY'S headlines

    #NZpol

  18. New Zealand is "being sleepwalked into catastrophe" on so many fronts, not just feral deer. Feral businessman-politicians are doing even more damage.

  19. CW: NZ Pol

    Can anyone explain why this years Labour party billboards have magenta highlights through the traditional red - the same basic shade that the ACT party use in their branding?

    Do Labour really want to remind us that it was them 80s that sold out into the neoliberal disaster that ACT so desperately want to continue destroying the country with?

    Odd choice

  21. HOW the flaming F**K is 74.4% of EMERGENCY PATIENTS "seen within six hours" (note not treated just seen) at ALL acceptable?

    #NZpol

  22. Gee it seems even cruel denying people benefits isn't enough to stop the numbers climbing.

    They're trying to rig the figures by denying under 20s benefits and it still increases by 80,000

    *Wonder how many parents on minimum wage decided it made more sense to quit so their children could get a benefit?

  23. How to spot bias in our MSM

    You look at MSM

    NOTE: The story is LUXON'S views about Hipkins' comment NOT Hipkins comment with Luxon's response buried 3/4 of the way into the story like they do when Luxon says something

    #NZpol

  24. Joel Maxwell with a cynical look at NZ's political parties. There are some good lines and he's right about Labour using invisibility as a campaign technique.

    "Labour’s ghost campaign risks driving voter turnout into the ground"

  25. While I love that #National's ideological bias has crashed headfirst into reality, let's not forget that even the targets they've hit are bullshit:
    Less people in emergency housing ≠ people housed, meeting climate targets ≠ doing enough about '#ClimateChange', less people taking up elective surgery ≠ a well run #HealthSystem

    Jobseeker #s climbing, almost 80,000 over target | #RNZ

  26. Presumably the guy who died on Paul Goldsmith's doorstep was in the middle of writing a thankyou letter on his achievement of fewer than 800 households in emergency housing at the time. #nzpol

  27. God, the level of spin is reaching proportions.

    "In the year ended December 2025, official figures from Statistics New Zealand show 19,000 Kiwis made the return home from Australia while 47,500 departed."

    Luxon: "I'm happy to send you the numbers. As I said to you, 14 percent growth in Kiwis coming back in the last year."

  28. I'm done, I'm done, I'm telling mum,

    It's time for Carrousel and Logan's Run
    We have the technology, let's get it done

  29. getting exercised about some completely made up shit that doesn't happen is utterly imported american right wing playbook shit though

    it's not only a choice it's likely a funded choice #nzpol

  30. even the cooker caucus isn't EMBRACING this - to be almost fair

    but... they're not... denouncing it - and that's a choice #nzpol

  31. Food is not an essential need, but a private helicopter pad is.

  32. Judging by the election billboards around Central Otago, it is clearly National v ACT. The left is virtually invisible..

  33. Air freshener salesman brings a far right government to Germany.

    Germany is fucked.

  35. One thing I detest about Winston Peters and NZ First is their constant immigrant bashing. My partner has worked as a health professional for many years in NZ and paid taxes and contributed to the country in many ways. She has an EU passport but has had permanent residency in NZfor over 30 years. She chose to keep her EU passport because that is where she came from. It is not possible to have both a German EU passport and a NZ one. Peters and his NZF mates are trying to do a Trump and score a few redneck votes by pursuing such negative and destructive anti-immigrant policies. Like the AFD in Germany, NZF is acting like a Nazi party. They don't deserve anyone's support. #NZPol rnz.co.nz/news/politics_electi

  36. Roy Morgan (which is trust worthy) and Curia (which is not)

    BOTH

    Show support for Nat Lite collapsing

    It's like voters want REAL CHANGE not a watered down version of what we've got.

    "New Zealand is in the bottom 10 of the world for economic growth in 2025. This group includes Myanmar, Yemen, Iran & Haiti

    Our youth have been worst hit. Nearly 1 in 5 are unemployed"

    In the World Happiness Report 2026, NZers aged under 25 reported the 126th biggest drop out of 136 nations

    A youth quake will define this...
