What happens if Republicans cheat to win on November 3? The polling makes it extremely unlikely that they would hold onto the house and it's increasingly likely that the Democrats take the senate in a fair contest. It's obvious that Republicans are trying to rig the vote, so what happens if they do?
Okay Stuff. Now do a graph showing the increase in the wage gap with Australia over the same period. Because their government didn't destroy the union movement in 1991 they have higher wages and better working conditions. If that is the dinosaur age, count me in #nzpol
PERFECTLY NORMAL@nzpom.com · 3w agoIncredibly negative framing here, there's a reason we're at the bottom of the wage growth chart and our conditions are worse Vote for change✊🏻 #nzpol

Green Party to take automatic union membership bill to the election
The Green Party wants union membership to become the default for new employees, arguing it would strengthen workers’ bargaining power while still allowing people to opt out.

With the death of Lindsay Graham and the apparent death (or incapacitation?) of Mitch McConnell, the Republicans have just 51 voting members. It now requires just 3 defections (rather than 4) to block bad legislation. With Cornyn losing his primary and Tillis, Daines and Ernst not running...
If there was an award for most hated new vegetable, it would go to Much McConnell.
I'm a legal permanent resident, but NZ First thinks I shouldn't be able to vote? Eff that! #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

If Hakeem Jeffries doesn't tack left he'll be ousted in the '28 primary, but he'll face a lot of pressure from the donors and "moderates" not to. He may be screwed anyway as the base has completely left him and his ilk. Dems more broadly are faced with a choice: realign, resign, or be removed.
I'm in Epsom. Why do people in Epsom vote for David Seymour? He seems like such a weirdo.
Today, we’re very excited to launch our new report – “Emergency: Saving New Zealand’s Ambulance Services”. You can read the full report here: tinyurl.com/4edeaa2v
Chippy cynically thinks left wing voters are in the bag. He feels safe pandering to the right; saying no to undoing many hateful and destructive govt policies In doing so he's burnt off the army of door knockers and phone bankers he needs. He needs to go. Now. #nzpol
If the state legislatures and courts are going to actively work to steal the 2026 elections, I wouldn't be surprised if people start to break out the torches and pitchforks immediately after the election.
If the Government enacted pay gap reporting, women in New Zealand who earn the median wage would get an 'extra' (or rather, not miss out on...) $25.36 per week. For wahine Māori it's $58.40 and $76.40 for Pacific women. It's that simple. Let Luxon know it's OVERDUE: www.stillmindingthegap.nz
Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s
I know that some here will disagree, but when then Nobel committee gave Obama a peace prize, it cheapened the honor. Obama, like Machado, had done nothing to warrent such an accolade. All he did was win an election after W was president. Why on earth would that deserve a peace prize?
The US is engineering a depression and working overtime to quash internal dissent. Renee Good won't be the last as the Republican party is prepared to commit atrocities to silence criticism, even if that means turning the concentration camps already in place into death camps.
I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.
How does this all end? If nobody is going to hold Trump accountable for breaking the law and brazenly overthrowing the leader of Venezuela, how and when will he be held accountable? This has the makings of the beginning of WWIII.
Does anyone know if a protest is being organised in Auckland against the US invasion of Venezuela? #nzpol
I wish this was available in Nelson.
NinjaKitty 忍者キティ🥷🐈⬛@ninjakitty.bsky.social · 7mo agoDo you do this? I bought a couple of lidded bins from Kmart and collect all my metal and plastic caps/lids then take them to our local eco centre. I also collect all the soft plastics which I can drop at my local Woolworths ♻️
Every political party says they want more good paying jobs, but what causes a business to hire? Increased demand.
In 1991, the National party passed the Employment Contracts Act, dealing a death blow to the awards system, which guaranteed penalty rates for night and weekend work, overtime pay, better pay rises (relative to cost of living), etc. Australia kept theirs. While wages have kept increasing in both...
(1/3) UPDATE: Woolworths Customer Care centre workers have been LOCKED OUT by the company until Saturday night as retaliation for their 3-hour strike action this morning. We need your help!
