Flooding in the New World carpark in Thorndon. Did not expect to have to remove my shoes and socks to wade back to my car mid-shop.

First two news stories Labour: we want to subsidise public transport (Nats: classic labour, where’s the money coming from? They’re bribing voters etc etc) Nats: here’s $60 million for primary industries (🦗🦗 not one question about where that money is coming from) Utterly shameless. #nzpol

I fucking HATE David Seymour & his AI party of androids who have turned teaching into a fucking nightmare of a job. I’ll add in Stanford for totally fucking with the curriculum, a fundamental & area she has NO understanding of unless it aligns with her bullshit ideology 🤬🤬🤬 #nzpol

This is an important one from @emilywrites.co.nz on families with unwell, disabled, or dying children being fined because those kids are not at school - and the schools protecting them from "Seymour's Ministry". Emily does incredible work - please do consider a koha if you've got the means.

I don't loathe Nicola Willis because she's a woman or a Tory. I despise her because she's an insufferably stupid, mendacious and feckless ghoul who is astonishingly shit at her taxpayer-funded job. #nzpol

It’s bad to be in social housing cause you are poor but completely fine to charge the taxpayer $52,000 to rent the house you already own. National party MPs are disgusting people and people who vote for them are disgusting too.

Bishflap having the brass neck to point out a road would’ve been delivered cheaper had it not been cancelled in 2017.

#nzpol I feel like the world over and throughout time this holds true. It feels like right wing ideas and politicians are held to a different standard

This is the vast imbalance in our media ecosystem: Democrats are held accountable for what they *might* do based on the words of their fringe voters and policies they are considering but never happen. Republicans aren’t even accountable for what they *are* doing.

Arrrggh the TVNZ+ Audio Descriptions and the inability to turn them off is ruining my life.

Tova making Luxon's thumb-head turn puce was outstanding. #nzpol

She comes across as vapid as him; and each quote from her is a loop of empty tautologies.

Oh. This is the new strategy then. Wheel out the Whānau. Except she doesn't seem to actually say what the good parts are? www.1news.co.nz/2026/04/04/a...

Are all the cookers going to go into conspiracy theory mode when advised to drive more smoothly to save gas?

Despite an oil crisis being nothing like a novel deadly virus, the government are trying to blur the lines — drawing false parallels to take subtle digs at pandemic decisions. #nzpol

I’m already sick of hearing ‘targeted, timely and temporary’. Just do something for crying out loud. #nzpol

Willis currently outlining her plan to Corin Dann on RNZ. To summarise, no help is on the way and you just have to patient.

Nicola Willis trying to work out how to help as few people as possible while simultaneously doing nothing while simultaneously trying not to piss off her base while simultaneously trying not to help the poors #nzpol

I do not understand how the ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTARY destruction of the original ferry replacement is not a massive political scandal?! It was a reflexive ideological decision that has disadvantaged the country significantly.

New documents reveal Ferry Holdings is relying on council-owned ports to cover cost blowouts.

Maura absolutely fucked over by a fuckboi. Lol.

As if there was any doubt how they would’ve handled it

Now we know how National would have handled the Covid pandemic. The 20,000 we saved would be dead.

Fonterra’s eyewatering profits just uncritically presented on the news as if it’s a good thing for the people of this country to be fleeced at the till every day.
