If you're an older or disabled NZ voter, please consider what ACT Party policies would mean for you. ACT plans to raise superannuation age by 3 months each year, cut disability benefits by $653M, pause contributions to NZ Super Fund, + cut support for migrants. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Cam Bennett@cambennett.bsky.social · 2d agoI work near K road and I cannot overstate the positive impact the CRL appears to be having on it. The streets were semi deserted most days. Theres now a steady stream of people on the street. It’s amazing what decent transit can facilitate.

Some anonymous person tried to delete a section of Harete Hipango's Wikipedia article—the bit mentioning she was caught getting a staffer to scrub info on her attending an anti-vax rally. Reinstated, article protected. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harete_...
All the advice online is like if the bleeding stops after 20 minutes you are probs ok, but I have had 9 bleeds in 4 days. And they are *spectacular*. And I am very tired of it. THE THING IS you can't wear a mask when your nose is bleeding and I don't wanna go to after hours unmasked 😫
Today I used my free will and Mark's pay day to but a Vienetta. Good.
This is my first FUCK YOUUUU to the lighters of fireworks of the "season". It is the 9th of October. My dog is freaking.
This feels trumpian this close to an election
Beehive NZ@beehivenz.bsky.social · 2d agoA new release is available from Hon Chris Bishop.
Two absolute fucking nightmare capital punishment stories out of the fascist state of America this week. What's after existential dread?
Just saw ANOTHER typo omg I did too much posting before I woke up.
My slightly spicy personal take is that I really dislike the Every Kiwi Vote Counts flagship video pitching our elders as a nefarious super power. Yes we need to get younger people enrolled but disrespecting kaumatua doesn't fly in a lot of cultures. You can tell white ppl made it.
I woke up to watch the Every Kiwi Vote Counte Global Town Hall so you didn't have to. Here's my totally unbiased, abridged review of what each party leader said: Hipkins: [literally so uninspiring I can't point to a single thing he said]
Please share 🥰 and if you saw the first post where autocorrect changed #nzpol to #napoleon no you didn't 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #kikorangi

Vietnam: COVID-19 killed over 32,000 people and left 4,400 children orphaned. Children who lost their parents are rebuilding their lives at HOPE School, which provides care, education and a safe home as they cope with grief, overcome trauma and learn to move forward after loss.

Like clockwork, the govt that has done more to destroy employment than any other in decades is trying to get re-elected by blaming people for being unemployed. No solutions, only punishment. Pure cynicism. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...
What about drug testing at Parliament? Luxon is ‘quite open’ to it

ACT getting 5x as much in donations as the Green party but still polling at about 2/3 of the Greens really shows how hard right wingers have to work for people to actually like them. Imagine if a left wing party had that kind of money. Imagine if right wingers couldn't splurge money like that.
The Green Party is the ONLY party with a policy for the diaspora (written by and for and by us!) and we are also the ONLY party with a spokesperson for Overseas New Zealanders. We care about you even when we're not asking for your vote. (Please vote for us!) www.greens.org.nz/overseas_new...

Another policy setting which is set to potentially have a HUGE impact on our overseas whānau is the changes to enrollment. We're counting on YOU to let people know they absolutely have to enrol before Oct25 or they won't be able to vote! Share our call to action! www.greens.org.nz/a_call_to_ac...

200,000 people have left Aotearoa under the coalition but we know home is still home. SO MANY still have whānau & friends there. We still care about protecting the whenua we want to come home to. We still have kiwisavers and student loans. Government decisions impact us even when we're overseas.
"Overseas influence" is a click batey headline but there are REASONS why overseas New Zealanders might want to vote left. Just one: Student loan interest is now higher than some mortgages! (from 2.8% to 5.4% under this govt and they have signalled a further raise to 6.6% & more border arrests! )
