Labour's Chris Hipkins says his party won't be intimidated by 'anti-science' | RNZ
The headline here doesn’t accurately reflect the violent nature of the abuse Labour’s Health spokesperson, Ayesha Verrall suffered at the meeting. These anti-vaxxers are nutters who have the capacity and willingness to do physical harm. No surprise that they are being egged on by former ACT party official, John Ansell. I expect across the board condemnation from all political parties at this behaviour. 🤨 -
Hearing the Deputy PMs comments around the PSA strike and how the timing was "clearly politically motivated to interfere with the election" has really pissed me off.
As i recall, it was Judith Collins who introduced the legislation that restricted Unions to only carry out strike actions while under active pay negotiations. And it is this coalition putting the budget constraints in.
The timing is *purely* the work of the coalition. The union has no say in it at all.

So I can tell I watch a lot of US politics videos
Because YouTube keeps showing me ads for, Americans overseas can vote.
If you are an American in NZ PLEASE for the sake of the world VOTE
If you're a NZer living here or overseas please VOTE in NZ's elections

Which agreement/contract that's not being upheld by this #NZPol coalition of corruption makes you want to #DitchThePricksIn26 the most?
-
Also, showing some ethics, morality, humanity and upholding international law should not be difficult for any #NZPol politician yet here we are.

Well, has Labour finally realised, no matter what they say MSM will attack them so they may as well do stuff the people want?

CW: Nzpol. Labour promises Data center and AI regulation.
Labour is promising to set up an AI office, an online safety regulator, copyright rules that ensure creators are paid for their work, and impose rules on data centres.
Combine this with Greens Policy on data centers and it's a huge step in the right direction.
PS. Reuben Davidson, Labours Technology and Innovation spokesperson seems to know his stuff.

I have seen this scroll by before and finally signed today.
It can seem pointless to petition this bunch of CoC aholes but it would be good to get behind something to send a clear message that the anti TPB & RSB bill momentum remains all the way to election day & beyond

Can be this petition👇

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

CW: NZPol - more Luxon gaffes
NZ's soon-to-be-rolled PM can't help putting his foot in it. Stuff fact checks a couple of claims Luxon made at a public meeting last night.
* That he's the first person in his family in 5000 years to go to university.
"That would mean none of his forebears since the year 2974BC had been to a university. However, the first one only opened in 859AD in Morocco."
* "I call him the James Brown of MPs" -- Luxon compares Simeon Brown to the muso James Brown, who was famously convicted for assault, armed robbery, and domestic abuse.

Just saw this “Seymour’s moving bag” at Mitre 10. Hopefully an omen about someone moving out of the Deputy PM’s office this year? #NZPol

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

What so it can be thrown in his face? #NZPol

"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".

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

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

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

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

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"

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

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

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."
