Re-sharing - we now have less than 48 hours to make sure everyone we know is enrolled. This week I have texted my ex, annoyed my massage therapist, Uber driver and everyone around me to make sure they are enrolled & have their details up to date. #nzpol

I've been again exploring ways to make public information and data a bit more accessible. Enrolment and turnout is a big issue this election and a lot of organisations have been working to get as many people enrolled as possible. #nzpol So we made: vote.inzight.co.nz

💯 but also - take a look at the Tāmaki Makaurau results for a snapshot of the likely bias in these numbers - 17.5% of Māori (per Te Whata, 2023 census) own their home in Auckland, one of the polling items - but 43% in the poll said they did. This is where the bias is in the poll

Whakaata Māori-Curia has now polled all seven Māori electorates. On the candidate vote, Te Pāti Māori leads in four (Tāmaki Makaurau, Hauraki-Waikato, Waiariki, Te Tai Hauāuru), Labour in two (Ikaroa-Rāwhiti, Te Tai Tonga) and the Greens in one, Te Tai Tokerau.

100% back this petition. We need to make sure all the implications of this tech are worked through. Including from a Māori data sovereignty perspective, and the particular privacy issues that come from the objectification of wāhine, taitamawāhine, and kōtiro Māori.

One of the issues I am concerned about this election is whether our Electoral Commission has enough money. #nzpol To me, it's how you erode democracy without explicitly doing it. Trump lite. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I can't believe they have banned jokes from our project titles. As an experienced reviewer and examiner (and public joke maker), someone being able to use humour appropriately about a subject can point to their expertise and how deeply they have thought about a topic.

I've been shocked by a lot of what's happened to our science system over the last three years but banning puns in proposal titles is a new low, surely.

Ngā mihi Andrew - terrifying being on with the towering intellect that is Donna Cormack & similarly, with Tahu Kukutai as the host! I mainly focused on how the census relates to the Māori electorates and has great constitutional importance. So many complex issues and an awesome series from Te Ngira

Andrew@openpolicy.bsky.social · 4w ago

This discussion on Tuesday, about the future of the census, was awesome. Well worth watching. Donna Cormack's contribution on the power of the state in surveilling us, and how it forms part of ongoing colonialism is great. As was @laragreaves.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LxJ... #nzpol

Far out, I was feeling stressed with a bit much on then saw that Max Harris is somehow just like arguing before the Supreme Court mid-campaign. Give that guy a lie down and a cup of tea.

Dr Dean Knight@drdeanknight.bsky.social · 4w ago

Harris for Hoban now on section 19 discrimination. Opens with the mantra “Two ticks for Labour!” (jks 😂).* * No doubt a welcome day’s respite from the hustings for Max.

Look, I know some university commentators (was that what Jack said?) make a drinking game out of debates, and I used to, but 2026 me is at her walking desk. #nzpol

Thanks - we don't actually have a lot of data on this point and would be keen to hear of any that anyone knows of #nzpol. I know from Roberts & Arseneau's work that the special votes lean Green/Labour but that's normally an aggregate of all special votes.

Tze Ming Mok 莫志明@tzemingdynasty.bsky.social · last mo.

Good article with the correct amount of @laragreaves.bsky.social touching on the self-selective nature of the recent exodus: You leave cos of no jobs, & everything NZers are traditionally proud of when abroad is being destroyed, while suffering as a migrant under rising xenophobia now infecting NZ.
