Not for *government duties* for his role as leader of the National Party for a party *fundraiser* for the *election* Surely this is outside the bounds of what the Air Force should be used for?? Seems like an enormous breach of his access to public assets! www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

How grim is this!?! Seymour's shitty lunches, made in Australia, were unsurprisingly shit and mostly inedible and instead of fixing that, this shit-for-brains-idiotic-govt thought adding sugar filled sauces would fix it (and only didn't because it would've cost too much). FFS. #nzpol
BusinessDesk@businessdesknz.bsky.social · yesterdayAs schools reported throwing out nearly one in three Compass lunches late last year, the Ministry of Education looked into adding sauce to make the meals more appealing but shelved the idea over cost.
We need everyone to enroll If you've got a late teen - 20s who can't see the point, just point them at the Greens, they're a safe pair of hands for the young & they're very future focused, sustainability focused etc #nzpol If your electorate is safely Labour, party vote Green vote.nz/enrolling/en...

Point taken Andrew, but my study of the Hansard from 2024 onwards is a clear record of how Winston Peters, far more than any other MP, is responsible for the decline in the standards of the House, which ironically he so often decries. The Speaker appears to be complicit in enabling this. #nzpol

Survivors of abuse in care hand-delivered flowers to Parliament. The flowers were picked from the grounds of hospitals and care residences that were sites of abuse, and marked 2 years since the damning findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry. My #cartoon today #NZpol #AbuseInCare #ChildWelfare
In times like these, it’s important to pay attention to the grand unifying narratives ideas are hooking on to. Like that children are there to be controlled by adults, like babies and birth are commodities to be controlled by the state, like citizenship is a state more valuable than non-citizenship.
A long-ish thread on PM Luxon's foot-in-mouth speech in Rotorua this week, and a theory on why it happened. 1/
A 2% tax on wealth over $10m will not erode that amount of wealth. Say you have an $11m net worth. You will pay 2% on only $1m of it ($20k), while making gains on all $11m (5%, which if you're basically doing nothing with it equals $550k). Arguing against this is nothing but greed. #nzpol
Remember when several Māori Party MPs got suspended without pay for a few weeks as punishment for doing a haka? Surely Winston Peters will get a similar punishment for his racist tirade, right? Right? #nzpol
The Aotearoa/New Zealand govt led by Dame Jacinda Ardern did this. Tell me she failed after looking at this.

Right wing Taxpayers Union just ran a public poll on their own page to see if NZ supports a wealth tax. 58.8% said YES.
It's almost like they're announcing a list of policies to throw under the bus when they explain that ACT and NZ First don't want them.
