You can reveal a lot just being a little too careless.
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
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...

The man who was happy to provide the home address of investigative journalist Nicky Hager so others could attack him is now responsible for protecting journalists at The Post. Truly the fox is in the hen house. More ‘Andor’ style post-truth society for Aotearoa. #nzpol
Sinead Boucher really shows her hand by elevating neoliberal Malpass and bringing in Hooton who has never been a journalist. #NzPol
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
Majority of Kiwis do not support selling & privatising up to 60% NZ conservation land. NZ First & ACT supporters most likely to support, and some National voters
Chris Bishop has already sold nearly 800 state homes in less than 2.5 years on the cheap. Beneficiaries to this lolly scramble include US venture capitalists, vape store kingpins, mystery investors, and a deal under the real estate regulator’s scrutiny
US tech titan, vape kingpins and deal under scrutiny: See who is buying our state homes
$8m pensioner flats, US owner of NZ's most valuable state house and a deal under scrutiny.

The irony of micro fringe blogger Ani O'Brien, a supporter of Tommy Robinson, wanting the Media Council to regulate Spin off & Politik
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

You can tell a lot about the ideology of a newspaper by the photos they choose to use. We definitely don't attack the media enough.
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
Simeon Brown effectively labels Winston Peters & David Seymour as squabbling, immature children & says voters should not trust Winston Peters #nationalpartyconference #nzpol
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 ...
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
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
why not name it, #AtlasNetwork Matt Burgess of the fossil fuelled #AtlasNetwork ‘partner org’ New Zealand Initiative. This is how it works everywhere there’s private oil MNCs, elections & Atlas orgs. Step (1) propganda ‘eg solar/Waitangi will wreck the economy’ Step (2) seize state power
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
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

David Seymour's 63% pay increase for Paula Bennett is on form. Last year, the Coalition government quietly increased Crown Board pay scales by 80%, paying $160,000 for multiple Board members. This is what National, ACT and even NZ First now stand for #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
