Changing an entire voting system because you're bad at your job but won't take responsibility is peak executive suite behaviour.
RNZ News Feeds@rnzrss.bsky.social · 6h agoChristopher Luxon will call referendum on MMP voting system if elected back into power
Question for the Foreign Minister and/or Deputy Prime Minister: are you a yahoo or a numpty?
The Flag Referendum cost $21m and Luxon announces it on the day we discover there's no budget for $700k for cervical cancer tests for one million women. And he blames the mmp system for his coalition frustrations instead of taking accountability for it like a leader would. Time to vote. ##nzpols

This. Something to ask the PM on bridge run.
2covet @2covet.bsky.social · 2d ago#nzpol In light of the -10⁰C predicted for tomorrow, can the Aotearoa NZ Govt press pool ask the PM and his many ministers what is being done for the thousands of homeless around the motū who are now forced to sleep rough, in bushejs, under bridges, or in garages, or in their cars. #MontageTime
“There is at least one important section of society where little shittery is rampant, destructive and harmful to the environment of the workplace. It’s actively impeding the ability of well-behaved people to perform well & limiting productivity. I’m talking, of course, about parliament.” No notes🙌
The little shits are coming from inside the House
Act wants to deal with the little shits in the classroom. Perhaps they should clean up the ones on their own turf first.

Take a close look at who funds The Opportunity Party. Whether built on fitness empires, software companies, or bitcoin fortunes, these donors hold vast wealth outside of real estate. That is no accident; it is precisely why the meteoric rise of donor money must be questioned. #nzpol
So here's the thing - Nats are trying to play both sides and keep votes/power by calling Winston's comments racist, while being willing to work with him still. The problem with that is that voters who don't like the racism, also won't like people who don't take a stand against it. #nzpols
Chlöe Swarbrick and NZ Greens with one of the most important messages for the public to note ahead of the upcoming election in Aotearoa.
There's a clear double standard. Chloe has been sanctioned by Brownlee for incinuating someone was lying, yet Peters outright calls something a lie and nothing happens, and then when Chloe points this out, she is removed? This govt is an utter joke. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Sooo... you know how Luxon said young people should get off the couch and get a job, and business people in Rotorua clapped? Below is a graph of the Rotorua labour market. This is NOT a get-off-the-couch problem. Thanks to @musicalchairs.bsky.social for doing this. #nzpol

Oh wut, they throw Chloe out of parliament but Peters can still be openly racist and that's alright? Says it all.
So why did they all spend so much time commenting on Stuart Nash's text?

Racism is just a small distraction from [checks notes] punching down on the poors, not paying Women, trashing the social services, bringing back smoking, defining what a Woman is and being very concerned about how uses which bathroom #nzpol

TOPs policies about automation and cutting admin at MSD (and elsewhere) is just "let's do AI everywhere". They don't have a clue about risk, about bias, about error rates, about the balck box, about how getting it wrong can lead to people experiencing homelessness, starvation, or death #nzpol

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

Ōtautahi please keep an eye out for this e-trike that has been stolen! And for the dirty thieves who have stolen it. More than just being an awesome bike, it is the owner’s mobility aid. Behind a paywall but you can see the bike in a photo from the link.

I would also hope the Green MP would know his place. Which is here in New Zealand, in the country that is his home.
