Bring this programme back indeed. 💚

Ooohh yes please now we're talking!! We had SUCH a good scheme with Ka Ora, Ka Ako. Local jobs for local people, stimulating the local economy. Our kids got solid, nutritious, tasty lunches that they enjoyed. Leftovers were gobbled up by local food rescue and charities.

How much must you hate the country and everyone in it that you'd still want to cast your vote for Act, NZ First, and National? Must be very, very much. #nzpol

Just updating on the latest nanny herald clickbait debt story. Same old tired myths... Govt books destroyed by the pandemic (they got stronger by the most sensible measure), Super is unaffordable (it isn't), and zero mention of the real drivers of the fiscal deficit. Let's dive in... [1/n]

And yet there's a new Ministry of Regulation, a vanity project of David Seymour. It's a pointless ministry. I'm convinced Luxon doesn't know what "simplify" actually means. #nzpol

Christopher Luxon blasting and criticizing Air New Zealand for their pre-tax loss is hilariously pot-kettle. You're no longer their CEO, so maybe STFU? Just a thought. Perhaps the PM of No Leadership Chops needs explain himself on how little he knows about being Prime Minister. #nzpol

Last month, Sam Neil. A few days ago, Dolly Parton. Not long after that, Tim Curry. And today, Optimus Prime. The voice of my Transformers childhood - Peter Cullen. Get the feeling we're all being taught the important lesson of attachment and impermanence. 💔

Act can't stop themselves from being racist arseholes, NZ First is geriatric, and National claims many things and have done a lot for the wealthy. Luxon is a spineless ballsack who has zero idea about leadership. Vote crap, get crap. I strongly recommend we do better come November. #nzpol

Made me giggle this morning. Nailed it 💯 @davidslack.bsky.social thank you 😄! #nzpol

David Slack@davidslack.bsky.social · 2w ago

Well there’s a coincidence. I’d hate to see our parliament become a dumping ground for crap CEOs

💯 Please vote. Don't just sit back. Your vote counts. #nzpol

Tony from Welly@tonywelly.bsky.social · 4w ago

Please if you are leaving NZ for a holiday in November please remember to place a special vote before you leave❤️ Your vote counts #nzpol

I knew it. No spine. No balls. No roll. 🤦🏻 #nzpol

The lols 🤣 are rolling in thick and fast today in my feeds and I am here for it! Speaking of rolling, Luxon... #nzpol

Oh you 9% who said Luxon is going forward. I lol at you heartily 😂. And then there's you 6% who think the PM's leadership has been North-Star. NORTH STAR!! Wow. Embarrassing. Exactly which bit has been north and star?? So I double-lol at you 6% 🤣🤣 as you rethink your life choices. #nzpol

Sharing the love. Thank you @laragreaves.bsky.social 👊🏻

We made an app! There is fairly widespread concern that turnout and enrolment will be low this election, so we made an app to help make enrolment and turnout data more accessible for communities. All data are drawn from the NZ Electoral Commission's website. turnout.inzight.co.nz

Just waiting to hear National blame Labour for the cold winter snap.

Matt@kiwimatt.bsky.social · last mo.

National is doing its usual election year spin of "rahhh Labour more tax! National low tax!" And is just wrong in general, but also... Cost of living is a tax. It's a worse tax because it goes toward private profit, not public benefit. Desperately need people to understand this. #nzpol

Gower to Hipkins and Luxon - answer simply Yes or No: "Is Winston Peters good for this country?" Hipkins: "NO". Luxon: "That's a decision for the voters of New Zealand, yes or no. I don't know him, is he good or bad..." Luxon can't even answer a simple Yes or No question 🤦🏻. #nzpol

Watching YouTube comes with a high risk of turning into Little Miss Potty-Mouth when David Seymour pops up in those Act Party ads. Gag reflex 🤢 and then a compulsion with my fingers 🖕🏻✌🏻🖕🏻 at the TV saying something along the lines of: "FUCK YOU DAVID SEYMOUR. FUCK YOOOUUUUU." I have video evidence.

"Why try" is not a reason nor excuse. Apathy is not a sentiment we all should afford for this year's election. Instead of letting A.i. do your assignments, try exercising your civic responsibility. ENROL and VOTE. Otherwise, don't ever fucking complain about why things are screwed up. #nzpol

RNZ News Feeds@rnzrss.bsky.social · last mo.

'Things are screwed anyway, why try?' Youth voter enrolment rate plummets

Yes, this right here... what @oldmatecans.bsky.social said. Nailed it. #nzpol

CEO Johnny Cans@oldmatecans.bsky.social · last mo.

Hey remember when a Labour leader had the instinct to give someone being a shit a bit of a fucken serve on live television? Yeah, I remember how it was an important marker and enthused people who wanted less boorish male bullshit.

Tune out the noise from the beehive for a bit because... ...our New Zealand team at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games is just smashing it! 🥇🥈🥉 ...and then some! Let's all have a proud Kiwi moment, eh? 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 #Glasgowcommonwealthgames #nzteam

I wanted to post this hashtag after the last election. Dad said no. I wanted to print the hashtag on my tank top. Dad said no. Well, after Luxon's latest gonadless display, I think I will rebel against my Dad. 👇🏻 #LuxonNotMyPrimeMinister #nzpol

Christopher Luxon, you can't say National has policies to restore better public services when your ludicrously unqualified Finance Minister are slashing 9,000 public sector jobs. 🤬 It's been 3 years. Do you even know how to discharge your functions of the office of the Prime Minister??? #nzpol

www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... Luxon "criticises" Winston's racist tirade is ludicrously sub-par. Luxon has enabled all the appalling behaviour in this government. We can't be surprised that Winston Peters gets away with it. Again, NO. Never alright, never acceptable. Vote them all out. #nzpol

Luxon criticises Winston Peters for 'inappropriate attention-seeking comments' towards Green MP

Christopher Luxon has criticised Winston Peters for making "inappropriate attention-seeking comments" after the foreign minister told a Chinese-born New Zealand MP to "go back to your own country".

rnz.co.nz

www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361... We can't have this level of racist tirade in government at all. We mustn't accept it ever. It's a despicable show from Winston and yet, New Zealand, you still put him there. NO. Exercise your civic duty. Don't give room. Vote NZ First out. #nzpol

Winston Peters launches tirade against Chinese-Kiwi Green MP

“This is called democracy, unlike what you're used to. So go back to where you come from, you loud mouth, and maybe you'll learn something,” Peters said.

www.stuff.co.nz/sport/361012... A moment of all-round Kiwi goodness with the most Kiwi of crossovers 😄! Let's take a moment and revel in the good Kiwi feels here 😁 🇳🇿! #aotearoa #goodkiwis

Ryan Fox repays All Blacks gesture with beers from Claret Jug

After drinking from the Bledisloe last year, Ryan Fox brought golf's most famous trophy to All Blacks camp.

I think this is very welcomed news for those who continue to struggle with rising gas prices. But cynical me asks why is Nicola Willis announcing this now when the government could've made this unconditional for 12 months that would've given certainty to families who need this. #nzpol

Dear Aotearoa New Zealand, We have a Prime Minister who doesn't know how to be one; a Finance Minister who is laughably unqualified; a party whose values are "me me me"; an old fart minister who just won't quit.... the list really does go on. Vote them out. Please. #nzpol

Methinks that the summer break can't come soon enough for our Carbono 😳. What a topsy turvy first half of the season this one. I'm feeling for Alex and Carlos, BUT! Pick a team, stick with the team. LET'S GO WEEYUMS!!! 💙💙💙 #HungarianGP #WilliamsF1

www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... I can't even take you seriously if you're a NZ First supporter. This party is riddled with all their brains stuck in the ages-ago. And Shane Jones is just utterly foul. He's not fit to be in government. Maybe he's just not fit. #nzpol

Shane Jones denies 'knee pads' remark was oral sex reference

New Zealand First deputy Shane Jones says his "knee pads" jibe was a "harmless and innocuous expression" that could have meant anything from gardening to volleyball.

🇪🇸 VAMOS ESPAÑA 🇪🇸 !! 🇪🇸 ⚽ 🇪🇸 ⚽ !!! The Spanish team will just have to endure one tainted exercise of receiving the cup from a convicted felon despot, but can't win 'em all I suppose. But other than that, VAMOS ESPAÑA!!!!!

Monaco was a boring race. This one at Spa is a very close second. 🫩 #BelgiumGP #F1
