It says a lot about their values that they are unhappy about the poll results (because they will lose the baubles of power) but comfortable with the hardship they created for the people of this country. #nzpol

I can honestly say I have not, at any point, felt that Luxon knows what he’s doing, and unlike Bates I’m sure most of the country is on side with me. Let’s get this coalition GONE 💚 #nzpol #bhn #onetermgovernment www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Is that mild enough? www.instagram.com/reel/DbBwOWw... #nzpol

Chris unloads on his former colleagues calling them "Traitors to the National Party Traditions". He's in despair over the changes to Mana Whakahono ē Rohe and the untold harm occuring to the Treaty Relationship.#nzpol #nzpolitics #politics #treatynegotiations #podcast #podcastclips

I'm sorry but there's not a bone in me that feels sorry for the farmers that voted for this govt. It was oh so much more important to stop 3 waters than having a govt that will look after you on a rainy day. I hope they are all checking their insurance policies. #nzpol

'The Government has no worst-case modelling for the impact a major bird flu, they (MPI) haven’t tried to come up with models for various scenarios' We're prepared but we've not modeled how bad it could be How the absolute fuck can both things be true #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

#nzpol Last night's discussion with the 23yo. He said, I'll vote for whichever party that will ban donations. We agreed the solution is to give every party with a minimum # of members, say, $100k, now go out and let's see the policies compete at the marketplace of ideas.

This is peak Nany State stuff. Maybe if we shout at them, they'll understand. IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT KIDS FROM THE HARM OF SOCIAL MEDIA, REGULATE THE PLATFORMS YOU DICKS. #nzpol

This just changes the point of the ban and would still require everyone over 16 to prove their identity to a private company. It just changes which company Why is he so fucking dumb #nzpol

"I do not understand why "everyday people" need to eat," Willis (probably). #nzpol

I'll say it again for the 100th time. Poverty begets crime. You cannot be "tough on crime" whilst increasing poverty faster than we've ever seen before.

JustJahBinks@justjahbinks.bsky.social · 3w ago

Is rushed in the room with us? What. it took only 30 years and not 250? Can Fed Farmers define the word rushed so we can see if it actually fits the definition in the dictionary? #nzpol

Where to even start with this shit show #nzpol. Imagain saying this stuff publically. OH NO IWI WANT CLEAN WATER FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. MAKE IT STOP!

Pōneke@archivesrock.bsky.social · 3w ago

Of course he does, but was the question "why" asked? #nzpol

A comedy vote, surely #nzpol

Labeling? This numpty thinks the requirements to properly label what people consume is the reason why Aotearoa isn't attracting more supermarket chains? God, give me the ego of this incompetent fool of a man. I'll settle for half the ego. #nzpol

Seymour defends government efforts to lure new supermarket chain to NZ

Katya@nzkatya.bsky.social · 3w ago

Listening to her latest #BHN interview, it is clear to me that the tax policy will be the first one off the table because it's a long-term & complicated one. If we want a govt of change we have to vote Green. #nzpol

Couldn't agree more: "If you want the malign influences of David Seymour, Simeon Brown and Winston Peters consigned to history, vote for a party that is committed to doing it. Not one that might keep them in power" #nzpol

Actually, what happens in the real economy is that 622,892 people now have $16.2b to pump into the real economy. This is also known as growth. #nzpol

JessTerraformEarth 🌏 💚 🌈 💧 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇳🇿@jessterraformearth.bsky.social · 4w ago

'… the government cancels the student loan book. Every balance, zeroed. The Crown writes off $16.2b of assets against its own accounts, net debt ticks up accordingly, and 622,892 people wake up owing nothing. Now the question that matters. What, in the real economy, just happened? Nothing' #nzpol

PERFECTLY NORMAL@nzpom.com · last mo.

Did he mention many decades it will take these doctors to assess all these people, or was he not capable of such sophisticated thinking? #nzpol

I think ACT are going to struggle to get the 5% this election People can see through the bullshit that Seymour spins on everything, they've worked him out I know the Stuff comments section is not definitive, but there's literally NOBODY supporting this, quite the opposite ACT of cruelty #nzpol

@lukewigram.bsky.social · last mo.

All of a sudden, co-governance is ok? Remove conservation land protection for sell off is ok, but returning conservation land to its original owners is risky? Did I get it about white? #nzpol

Let's see what right wing spin does to the Nelson Tenths settlement. It's already a crap deal, especially for those who've waited since 1839 for redress, but this kind of intervention is going to stoke animosity and division, not improve the outcome #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

Ben Ross@benakl.bsky.social · last mo.

Ladies & gentlemen, presenting the party of personal responsibility. They all have a choice. They can choose to sacrifice their career and refuse this cruel policy. They each chose their own cushioned jobs & the most vulnerable are paying the price. Revolting people. All of them. #nzpol

"Following Orders" is never a viable defence when it comes to human lives and wellbeing www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Sacha@sachadylan.bsky.social · last mo.

I find it incompetent for high paid officials, including the PM, to not remember important things like what they did with this document. #nzpol

Ombudsman 'found it surprising the former staffer had no recollection of what he did with the lobbying document.' #NzPol

henry cooke@henrycooke.bsky.social · last mo.

Maybe the going for growth agenda is a unicorn dream? Because in a finite world where the climate is already at breaking point, there's no advice, good or bad, as to how we can continue the growth. My criticism of Treasury is that they are not saying in capital letters THIS CAN'T BE DONE. #nzpol

A new review of Treasury finds it is failing in it role of providing big economy-wide advice, with interviewees complaining it doesn't have big ideas any more - or engage with the private sector over matters like health and transport: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

#nzpol Now that Tama Potaka was forced to remove the "confusing wording," do we get to re-submit? The fight isn't over, but maybe the emphasis of my submission needs to change to - just kill the bill.

Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand@greens.org.nz · last mo.

Can you please do it so it will need a super majority to be changed or any other mechanism that will hermetically protect it from the greedy hands of corporates? #nzpol

The Green Party is announcing that in government, it will overhaul the laws protecting conservation land and wildlife in Aotearoa. It will scrap the Government's current reform and starting again with a process focused on protecting what we have for future generations 🌏🌿

@lukewigram.bsky.social · last mo.

Good but not good enough. Let's keep the pressure. Conservation and economic development can't live in the same realm. If they want to sell just bits and bobs that are not conservation, kill this bill and just sell those bits and bobs. #nzpol

Tama Potakas announcement just now on the conservation reforms - the sale and disposal provisions have been dropped, but 100% of the Doc estate will remain refocused on economic development. And a two week extension to the select committee submission period #nzpol #conservation

#nzpol Anyone already shouted this is an elections bribe (I'm looking at you simple Simeon), or is that treatment is solely for the parties left of centre?

Newsroom NZ@newsroom.co.nz · 2mo ago

Time for us to take a leaf from the citizens of Albania playbook. Enough. This land does not belong to the govt of the day. It belongs to the people of Aotearoa! Take your filthy hands off our conservation land, Potaka. #nzpol

The conservation minister says some conservation land may be swapped, but any deals would have to have a net benefit. But Shane Jones has other ideas.

Shane Jones need to pay back the difference between the budget that was approved and his inflated ego. A competent PM would require him to do that and if refused, sack him. Has the TPU said something and I missed it? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

Winston Peters defends Shane Jones' $63k travel bill including private limo on standby for 24 hours

The Finance Minister has criticised Shane Jones for a $30,000 budget blowout incurred while attending a mining conference in Canada, saying he has made "significant errors".
