My sister has moved house so I told her she needs to update her details on the electoral roll because same day registration is no longer possible. She had no idea about the changes. Will there be an advertising campaign? Otherwise people won't know and will be turned away on election day. #nzpol
Hey @kiwiev.bsky.social or @robdickinson.bsky.social, my EV manual says NOT to use rapid chargers often, but it won't say /why/. Any advice on why? "Chargers with outputs of up to 11 kW are slow chargers, larger than 11 kW are fast chargers and rapid chargers are available with AC/DC outputs."
Jez San, founder of Argonaut, donated 2 million pounds to the conservative party in 2025. He was the biggest individual donor in Q1 of that year. Please, be informed before purchasing anything. You can emulate PS1 games on basically any device these days (even your phone) with ease.

I raised this with Helen White, one of Labour's reps on the select committee, who was unconcerned, said reducing the number of submissions was good because it means less reading and there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to. No concern at all for the people whose voices won't be heard.
What’s going on with all these gender bill submissions being rejected?
With over 40,000 public submissions made on the definition of a woman and man bill, questions remain over the number of rejections.

Great to see that National support 30 weeks Paid Parental Leave. Especially after they voted against the introduction of PPL. Blocked the extension to 26 weeks for several years. Canceled 33 pay equity claims. And just this year, cut Best Start payments for the majority of new parents.
Meanwhile no one’s bothered to do a translation of the 45 minute speech he gave which was FILLED with dog whistles and pro-Hindi supremacy state propaganda ✋🏼😓

I have direct personal experience of stalking and harassment by Young Nats. I’m not the only one. So do, please, tell me more about the years of work you and your party put into this legislation, Christopher. Or did you just coat-tail on the work of far better people, from the left? #nzpol

I guess the inevitable conclusion for not taxing the rich & allowing billionaires to exist (they shouldn't) is that Heinz's Dilemma (Kohlberg's stages of Moral Development) isn't applied to a high end life saving drugs, but *checks notes* FOOD. Fucking food. We gotta reset this shit NOW
If you see someone stealing food either shut up, or offer to pay for it. Being starving should not be a crime. Fuck this government.

Private equity funds control more than $9.4 trillion in assets, including 11,500 companies that employ more than 11 million American workers. It is one of the most ruthlessly extractive, corrosive forces in modern history, so why does hating it feel like such a niche grievance?
