This is just heartbreaking. What’s even more disturbing is that the vast majority of elderly voters will still vote for the same party that is so cruelly punishing them in order to enrich themselves & their donors. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

“A total of 171,000 people were unemployed, a rise of 7,000 on the previous quarter and 13,000 higher than a year ago.” Luxon’s government has done absolutely nothing in their 3years in power to reduce the cost of living as they promised. Instead they’ve robbed tens of thousands of families 1/3
My unpopular 2 cents about latest Roy Morgan polling, and just in general actually. #nzpol #Kikorangi
The epitome of corruption. Never allow the ROT to set in. Even Winston himself, knows this life lesson. #nzpol
Dr Sanjana Hattotuwa@sanjanah.bsky.social · 2d agoHuh? #nzpol @openpolicy.bsky.social
As someone who built her own business from the ground up with a handful of clients & grew it to a team of 13 employees, handled PAYE ,GST & all creditors by myself for 11years before my health (& the GFC) eventually killed it, I can confirm this prick is a polished turd compared to SMB in NZ #nzpol
Jordan Rivers@jordanriversnz.bsky.social · 2d ago"Luxon isnt a buisness person, he's a corporate person. There's a big difference"
Horrifying news ahead 😳 Dad: Mark Mitchell should be the new leader of the Nats. Me: Erm, I really don’t think so, but each to their own I guess. Dad:That’s no way to talk about your grandmas, brothers, grandson… Me: What did you say? 👀 Dad: He’s your cousin Me: 🤯😱😨😭Nooooooooooooooooooooo #nzpol
…”included commentary pointing to his own business background, questioning the viability of his leadership and drawing comparisons to David Brent.” 🤣🤣🤣 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ thespinoff.co.nz/politics/04-...
You should all be using Claude, Luxon told Rotorua businesspeople. So we did
We fired up the AI chatbot to assess the prime minister's comments in response to what he called a 'negative view' question.

“OpenAI recently admitted its AI also attacked several other unnamed “publicly available services” after finding four logins online” I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure the NZ govt has good safeguards & regulation around their AI roll out in public service, right? #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...
Multiple AIs are going rogue - what the hell do we do now?
Two separate frontier AI labs have admitted their models either broke out of containment or hacked into external servers unprompted.

“The findings lay bare a harsh reality: only 4% of Kiwis feel they are making significant strides from last year.” I guarantee that is only the top 4% of the wealthiest New Zealanders & CoC donors. Fuck the 96% of bottom-feeders going backwards fast. 🤨 #nzpol #NZ www.stuff.co.nz/money/361012...
A staggering number of Kiwis' money worries have got worse in the last year
Many Kiwis feel like they’re going backwards at the moment.

This is what Erica Stanford's reforms will do to children here in Aotearoa #nzpol
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 3d agoI'm glad to see this. It's what many of us have been arguing for a long time, but until now no one in government seemed ready to listen. Let's hope we will begin to see an education policy which works for children, and for the 21st Century. In The Times today.
Quite a popular phenomenon worldwide it would seem. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 2d agoWe should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
This will come as a shock to absolutely no one at this point. NZ First have become a national security threat & no I’m not being dramatic when I say this, there’s clear links between online radicalisation & bigoted public figures normalising it, with outcomes often resulting in real life violence.
The Press@thepress.co.nz · 3d agoA senior figure in New Zealand First’s youth wing has links to neo-Nazi groups and online accounts praising Adolf Hitler, an investigation by The Press has found.

Farmers would be better off just punching themselves in the face, in perpetuity, than voting for the abusers who are exploiting them & destroying the very environment they NEED to farm. Maybe it’s time for a sensible change ?💡💚 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ ✅✅
Russel Norman@russelnorman.bsky.social · 3d agoJust a reminder at how poorly served farmers are by agribusiness lobby groups, like Fed Farmers, which vociferously oppose action on climate change, leaving ordinary farmers to deal with the climate disruption. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
"Basically, if you don't do politics, politics is going to do you." If you don’t do politics, the over 70’s will design a society that they’ll never see the consequences of, but will have you living a more expensive, unhealthy & oppressive existence than you are facing right now.YOUR VOTE MATTERS.
NZ is worse off under National Christopher Luxon is the worst PM in history. Register to vote now! https://f.mtr.cool/gqrtgzrcbh
Just a reminder that it didn’t have to be this bad, the wrong people did this to NZ & now we need the right people to correct it & the ‘children’ wearing daddy’s pants sure as hell ain’t it. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

He’s also going to offer free red robes with delightful white bonnets for the breeders to wear in public, so all the land can marvel at their sacrifice for the great replacement theory. 🤦♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #WinstonIsUnfitForOffice
henry cooke@henrycooke.bsky.social · 4d agoWinston Peters wants to pay people up to $45k, tax free, to have three kids. It’s a policy with a very nativist bent that will naturally draw comparisons to the “great replacement theory” conspiracy. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...
I’ve just spent the last 2 hours fluctuating from cry laughing to ugly crying & landing on “fuck I wish more humans understood the importance of empathy” Great watch if you’re looking for a weekend movie 🍿 #EmpathyMatters
Bloody woke socialist commie marxist leftie snowflake loons, just out there making life affordable & redistributing wealth in the interest of public good. Bastards. 🤪 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 5d agoThe cost of groceries has become one of the defining challenges of the affordability crisis. That's why our municipal grocery stores will offer a 30% discount on the grocery staples New Yorkers depend on — from meat to produce to dairy.
Winston Peters is unfit for parliament. Winston Peters is unfit for parliament. Winston Peters is unfit for parliament. Say it all together now….!!!! #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ
