Here we go, an amended bingo card with the Australian references localised to Aotearoa references, which does double duty for all your NZ First and ACT candidate needs!

'Turn that thing off': Peters terminates interview after just 96 seconds

Winston Peters had told a Stuff journalist to “piss off” after they asked questions about other instances of violent rhetoric and behaviour toward MPs.

Absolutely fantastic work by Mitchell Really does reveal the ludicrous amount of projection from far-right circles alleging leftwing impropriety - the rightwing *parliamentary parties* are being actively entryised by *actual neo nazis* and we can probably draw a clear link to increasing extremism

Christopher Luxon thinks people I love are "bottom-feeders", my dislike for Christopher Luxon increases every time I learn anything new about him, it's a monotonic graph. I can't wait for him to take his "laser focus" out of the Beehive and point it back toward his abysmal self-help book collection

Daily Indignation@dailyindignation.bsky.social · 3d ago

New Zealand journalists in 2082, as the seas have swallowed the land and we're living in a Waterworld-style society: Christopher Luxon is actually really great in person, the voters just need to get to know him.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

When I interviewed David Milch for The Deadwood Bible, I said that parts of Deadwood felt like a horror movie, and he said the entire series was one, because of this:

the most annoying thing about the What We Should Have Done With COVID discourse is that the actual viable option to accept more health risk in exchange for less disruption was not to rawdog the plague, it was to push the vaccine wide earlier with worse trial data

🧵This is significant out of #NZpol The Atlas Network-driven government (c/o Dep PM Seymour with his 2-week Atlas MBA 😂) is passing questions from journos to Free Speech Union. FSUs are in 5+ countries out of UK. Peter Thiel circle? Meant to defend “race science” & bigoted trash as “Free Speech” 🙄

Folk who paint Tom Phillips as a "freedom-loving individualist" must come to understand understand: men who control or manipulate their partner cannot ever be "freedom-loving individualists". They're just regular sociopaths whose idea of "freedom" is so horribly withered that it only fits 1 person.

I am begging a journalist to ask Luxon, on camera, why the Prime Minister refuses to condemn the racism of Winston Peters. When he says "I have criticised it" hit him with the, "not as Prime Minister, why is that?" and watch him slowly melt.

But what he can't credibly do is say "this is not the standard of conduct I expect from ministers in my government" because, objectively, this is the standard that he is willing to accept from ministers in his government As indeed it has been his only standard all term: none

Got interviewed by The Spinoff

This is the "sacred decorum" they will try to tell you Julie Ann Genter violated, or decrying "liar" as a step too far. Members who act this way should be tossed out: it's 10000x worse than calling someone "liar", because there's zero situations in which racism is justified, yet people lie daily.

Claim after claim in the House of Parliament that people with migrant backgrounds, even if they are also literally indigenous with whakapapa to the iwi that hosted the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi - do not have the right to participate in that House. It's antidemocratic, but what is being done?

Incredible loser energy. A literal professor walks all over you in the House, you say he's a know-it-all who can't speak English and has no right to do his job because Ching-Chong, absolutely pathetic.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
