Is there anything Stuff & Sinead Boucher do that is not self serving? An article today on "millions sent offshore" is just Stuff lobbying to get part of the $20m govt ad $ Burr doesn't mention the ~$500m of taxes National reversed for big tech in 2025 because it doesn't serve Stuff's agenda #kiwi

Incredulous Leaky Homes 2.0 In the last TWO years, under Chris Penk, there's been a huge influx of fake & non-conforming house build products. While often 20-40% cheaper, they frequently fake certification documents & will leak & low quality MBIE were notified at least 8 months ago #nzpol #kiwi

Alarm raised over dodgy imported building products

MBIE has raised the alarm with councils and called for urgent action about some imported aluminium windows and doors that may not be fit for purpose. It said their test reports may be incomplete, miss...

One of the rarely commented aspects of National's incompetence is how much the NZD has fallen over the last year If you want to buy anything from overseas, if you go travelling, purchase online, get a product that was imported etc, that is hitting you by at least 15% more

Listen, it's funny hearing Simeon Brown insult ACT & NZ First as bratty children - but these parties polled 5% & 8% at the 2023 election It is National's immense weakness & Luxon's complete ineptitude that has left this country run rough shed by the minors. It's all on National & Luxon's weaknesses

National reduced govt Kiwisaver contributions in half & created a loophole for employers to not pay their part Hardship withdrawals have also doubled while they changed the rules to allow farmers to use Kiwisaver to buy homes Luxon now campaigns on a mandatory Kiwisaver policy

Let's take a moment to remember Luxon's KPI outcomes: 12-15 year business failure high, 10-15 year unemployment high, record job beneficiaries, record gang numbers & surpassing police #, higher sexual assaults & record domestic violence, 3500 cancelled state homes while 20,000 wait ...

This photo of Simeon Brown really epitomises my impression of who he truly is A young punk who's only real world job was as a low level BNZ bank teller and before that, an aggressive, bullying anti-abortionist lead at university #nzpol #kiwi

Is anyone surprised that Shane Jones spent $63,000 to upgrade to business class, told a private limo to wait 24 hours & didn't care that he exceeded his approved budget by $30,000 - all while on a mining junket Jones is the same guy who had no compunction charging porn to taxpayers #nzpol #kiwi

Selling off & opening up to privatisation 60% of NZ's conservation land is tragic. Tourism is one of NZ's biggest earners, and mining only gets us royalties of 2% while being on the hook for billions of clean up costs, while they suck our resources dry. Let alone our wildlife, ecosystems #nzpol

Luxon says the answer to his Chief Policy Advisor telling Fonterra & Z to take their anti-climate wish list (Which they got) into private emails is: "We're going to take it very seriously" But Erica Stanford did the same for one year. Last year Luxon said: "I'm very relaxed about it" #nzpol #kiwi

Incredulous that Luxon is saying "I didn't know corruption is happening in my office, from one of my closest advisors - Atlas Network NZ Initiative's Matt Burgess" What's the bet they wanted to pass this anti-climate law under urgency too?

Looks like NZ Press Gallery is finally standing up to this despotic Government after National threatens to ban journalists from Parliament: "If any MP has concerns about the editorial content of a story, that should be dealt with through the usual channels...." This photo was the offence

We now know that within the Prime Ministers Office there was a political lobbying pathway operating via the PM's Chief Policy Advisor's private email. Fonterra says it was told to send the lobbying docs via this pathway. It may still be operating via other staffers private email addresses.

Is it even a surprise the Luxon staffer who secretly accepted law change orders from Fonterra & Z is Matt Burgess, NZ Initiative? Of course he was also a guest speaker for Taxpayers Union. Both Taxpayers Union & NZ Initiative are registered partners of Atlas Network

How many records is this now? Highest unemployment in 12-15 years. Highest business failures in 13 years. Highest youth unemployment NEET in 20 years. Highest gun related homicide in 20 years. Raging cocaine & meth crisis. Record homelessness. Record domestic violence #newzealand #nzpol

Gun related homicides reach highest rate in almost 20 years

"We don't want to lose the strong regulation we have now...strong laws save lives"

New Zealand's Gender Bill not only categorises transgender women as biological females, it makes some species of lobsters biological males Submissions on NZ First's bill, which will be supported by ACT & National, are open now

What's most interesting about "SuitandTie9999" and Jordan William denials the account is linked to the Taxpayers Union & Jamie Ross is that Williams just confirmed the OIA in question IS a Taxpayers Union OIA And SuitandTie9999 confirmed the OIA was one he personally filed. How peculiar #nzpol
