If you Americans want the world to stay out of your politics, reign in the lunatics in the Whitehouse who keep interfering in our countries finances and policies, until you do that, shut the fuck up!
it's fascinating to me seeing guys like Peters and Farage who've had decades of the media giving them sloppy kisses lose it the instant they get asked one 7/10 moderately difficult question www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...
'Turn that thing off': Peters terminates interview after just 96 seconds
Winston Peters had told a Stuff journalist to “piss off” after they asked questions about other instances of violent rhetoric and behaviour toward MPs.

“The Electoral Commission has told staff to turn away voters who aren’t on the printed roll and who say they’re unenrolled, but has no plans to count how many people will be affected.” So nice to see democracy in action, nothing to worry about here, love NZ’s accessible and clear election process.
Newsroom NZ@newsroom.co.nz · 2d agoThe Opposition says people who think they're not enrolled should lodge special votes rather than being turned away from voting entirely.
INT BEEHIVE DAY The PRIME MINISTER sits down with the FOREIGN MINISTER to call him to account for recent public statements FM: What is it? PM: Well I told John I would talk to you about ... FM: About what? PM: Well, you know FM: Are you going to then? PM: I think I just did
The CEOs aren't smarter than you. They're not making rational, savvy decisions on behalf of shareholders, customers, and employees. They're entitled idiots with their heads up their own asses, endlessly siphoning the fruits of other people's ideas and labor. And they're usually criminals, tbh.
Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x
This is good (and is also kind of the same argument/discussion that the Americans on here keep having about how "stock market line go up" does not translate into "feeling good about your finances" in a real sense
Vote for hope in November! Toitū te Tiriti 🇳🇿@mrjeffhowell.bsky.social · 4d agoA long-ish thread on PM Luxon's foot-in-mouth speech in Rotorua this week, and a theory on why it happened. 1/
Look at these 2, Simon Watts and Matthew Paul (Bayly's replacement) effervescing about the opening of the new Drury & Paerata Railway stations as if they were somehow responsible yet Michael Wood was behind this #nzpol www.facebook.com/share/r/1VHt...

Luxon, agony aunt: My husband died of cancer. How do I go on? Stop being negative. Upstream to Claude, you child. My kids can't get any jobs. What advice can I give them? They must retool and smack life. The blame is theirs. My SME went under due to inflation. Ideas? Don't pack a sook, cunt.
TPM did the Haka in parliament and were vilified before being banned from the house. An immigrant MP even questioned the potential of them being jailed. Compare that with the absolute nothingness from both Luxon and Brownlee which means Peters goes unpunished and retains bragging rights. #nzpol
The main reason I fucking hate AI and love books is that books require you to make an effort and think for yourself whereas AI actively takes that away
I picked up almost as much from the library as I did from school—real history, not that polished nonsense we were fed!
Went to see this last night. Some opening night hiccups but absolutely fabulous, great acting in multiple roles, best John Campbell take ever and a special appearance by Simeon Brown! Go see it o Wellington political tragics (ie all of us)!
The Free Speech Unions are nasty institutions that exist in #NZpol #auspol #UKpolitics #Cdnpoli #SouthAfrica They function to protect hate speech and mis/disinformation while masquerading as the saviours of the little [bigot]. Don’t be fooled by the show. lucyham29.substack.com/p/beware-the...
WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU "SMACK" #nzpol
Catherine Robertson@cjrauthor.bsky.social · 5d ago"How much of your own money have you invested the businesses you ran?" "How exactly did you personally reshape and retool the global conglomerate Unilever and state-subsidised Air NZ, and how enduring have those measures proved?" Why does no one call him on his bullshit? I hate his face

I am fucking BEGGING media to stop saying the government has removed election-day enrollment, or same-day enrollment. It’s the entire advance period. Please. Don’t confuse people.
It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”
it would be nice if the opposition directly tied winston and david's racism to the man who put them in power, christopher luxon
This Hayden Donnell article is from 2017.
Revealed: Winston Peters has never had a racist approach to anything
You’ll never believe it, but the election race is heating up and people are fighting over whether the NZ First leader has made racist statements. Hayden Donnell comes out in Winston’s defence.

So the Dunedin Hospital replacement was paused, costing money, then restarted but scaled down so the new hospital will have fewer beds than the old too-small hospital, so the Government could save money to build roads in the North Island they're not going to build any more. Anyone going to say that?
I’m counting down the days until Brian Tamaki is announced as an NZF candidate….. …..unless he’s waiting for Winston to retire or whatever before mounting a takeover campaign
