The Speaker’s selective severity: Rules for Swarbrick, rank for Peters

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

All the talk that NZ got this resilient abundant power supply for data centers... facepalms with the first dusting of snow in ... Winter.. #nzpol

We have a criminal president.

Are you joking? Winne started a homophobic disinformation campaign against a non binary MP knowing full well what that would translate to online. Threats, harassment and other online violence. So serious, that MP left. Unbelievable #nzpol

"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.

Could be a euphemism for NZFirst - overripe, rotten, smells awful, not good for you, sometimes found in the trough. And then of course there is the racist cherry-picking. #nzpol

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

Lessons for NZ - apparently datacentres in Ireland draw =23% of the country's power and household power bills have gone up 600 Euros in the last year as a result. Use urged from 5% of national electricity demand in 2015 to 23% in 2025. Forecast to exceed 30%

andrewdicksonnz.substack.com/p/luxons-wea... A remarkable and brilliant article that shows just how completely out of touch #Luxon is - telling small businesses - so often the Nat's heartland - that they basically need to harden up. Vote them out #nzpol

Winston Peters is a disgrace on many levels. An MP, a party leader and a Foreign Minister to name just a few. "Go back home where you came from" should resonate in the minds of every voter who has made Aotearoa their home. Every health sector worker, every engineer, etc. Vote this POS out #nzpol

Never mind NZF, Winston Peters appears the ultimate opportunist. Today he said he'd flip the firework non-ban. At the start of 2026 he said he'd immediately flip the Regulatory Standards Legislation. With the latter in mind has anyone seen or heard him campaigning with regard to the latter? #nzpol

Another buy a pardon deal... disgusting!

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

We are witnessing a tipping point. Boreal forests that stored carbon for 1000s of years are now CARBON EMITTERS. Heatwaves make wildfires. Wildfires make more heat. More heat makes more fires. This feedback loop is what scientists warned you about.

Right ... so Mercury Energy, 51% owned by the Crown, has $53m to spend on a stake in a data centre, but somehow can't make the generation investments necessary for power prices to be lower for New Zealanders? Utter sociopaths #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/business/361...

Taxpayer now has $27m interest in Southland data centre venture as Mercury buys in

The majority stated-owned power firm says it expects the planned $3.7 billion data centre near Invercargill to be the country’s “most advanced”.

I'm sat in a care home with my wife and MIL following the passing of my FIL last night. Every single member of th care team is from overseas lands where Peters, Jones, and Tamaki target their racist bile for populism, relevance, and/or votes. They are cunts and nothing more. Let's get rid. #nzpol

This is what Shane Jones backcharged taxpayers for when in his hotel room a few years back. No more than some entirely innocent watching of Gardener's Weekly. Watching people on their knees doing no more than a bit of weeding. Anything else is just wokeism. #nzpol

This will get less media attention than the last few days of fawning Paul Henry stories.. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

F***ing The Basics, Building Back Bribery. Vote for Luxon, Peters or Seymour to continue punching yourself in the face! 🗳️🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

RW media and other outlets routinely slaughter any left of centre MP who in their eyes has a salacious story to be told. For the sake of balance is there actually enough time between now and election day to table the wrongs and indeed witterings of that fuckwit Paul Henry? #nzpol

@jordanriversnz.bsky.social instagram gets it right, again. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

On my way, Clacton.

We aren't the same!

And I will say everything they hate and more, and party like hell.

Anne Widdecombe's demise is now being described as a murder. That said we can add it to the murders which take place in Gaza, Lebanon, Iranian schools, ICE raids and so on. My takeaway? A reminder that even that ghastly aging racists are mortal and that when dead they can no longer be racist.
