Also have you guys seen that the Alliance Party is back? not ye olde Jim Anderton, but the party has restarted - saw this online. It reads like the policy stance labour SHOULD have: allianceparty.nz/what-we-stan... #NZPOL

Seymours 'HATE of the nation' speech was about what I expected - at least hes consistent in his protection of the ownership class. #NZPOL

This is for all the "BuT CaPiTaL fLiGhT" arguments that if the richest have just a tiny bit less wealth, they will all depart NZ. #NZPOL

#NZpol See, here's an interesting article that raises a lot of points that I'd love to see the feckless, listless Luxon to be questioned on *without letting him squirm out of it by ranting about some utterly irrelevant 'cOmMuNisT' distraction that conservatives love*. So... how about it NZ media?

Nice one @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social ⤴️

NACT1 are successfully ‘flooding the zone with shit’ right now, but the Pae Ora bill really needs more scrutiny. Among other things, they are legislating to remove the principle that healthcare should be equitable! Scum. #nzpol

Kiwis are DYING. we need to start taxing wealth, and funding health. For fuck sake. I await Nicola Willis telling us ‘it’s not personal’ www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... #NZPOL

Half of heart attack patients not treated within accepted timeframes, study finds

The report commissioned by Kia Manawanui Trust suggests half of heart attack patients are not treated within accepted timeframes.

If there is one thing that we can actually take action on this week, it is to submit on the Pae Ora amendment bill. It really will give the power for private interests to cripple our health system for future generations. #nzpol

Protect Public Healthcare@pph-nz.bsky.social · last yr.

If you have time on this lovely Sunday, please PLEASE look up the proposed amendments and make a submission #nzpol #kikorangi

In amongst the sheer tsunami of filth the current govt is pushing out, the Pae Ora amendment bill is set to do long term damage to our already compromised health system. This post isn’t mine but summarizes it well: www.reddit.com/r/nzpolitics... This bill needs more media attention! #nzpol

The Iwi Māori Partnership Board is voicing concerns two weeks after Health Minister Simeon Brown announced proposed legislative reforms to the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022.

I Pulled together some figures into an article to try and pull some simple info together about wealth inequality in NZ. Its rough, but if you are interested in seeing how lopsided wealth distribution is in NZ: open.substack.com/pub/tylerdur... #NZPOL

So ive decided that instead of just spraying my thoughts all over reddit & discord, my more serious thoughts will now be housed on substack. Im no writer so have no expectations, but im also open for suggestions of other kiwi stacks? #nzpol tylerdurdan69.substack.com/p/new-zealan...

New Zealanders Social Contracts Are Breaking

What happens when the contract is violated?

Why is Plunkets moral and ethical poverty here not being picked up by mainstream media? His financial backers are ACT supporters, it’s all public record. Why are kiwis tolerating this? #nzpol

Plunging to new depths of moral depravity. #NZPol

Can we acknowledge the line I keep seeing Seymour trot out - "No one has explained how considering the ToW helps the boat go faster'. NZ NEEDS regulation to make the 'boat' of greed move slower. See Pike River, Coal Creek, leaky homes for what happens when business is given freedom #NZPOL #BHN

Advocating for children to be subject to citizens' arrests reveals the true motives of the policy: giving pathetic bullies a social licence to live out their power fantasy of intimidating and dominating people smaller and weaker than themselves.

Just seeing that the select committee are all dialling in for the RSB subs. Is this not the same govt that told public servants to get back to the office for culture and performance? Rules for thee but not for me as normal. #nzpol #bhn

According to Reddit, Chris Luxon has deleted his apology video on YT to the state care survivors after being questioned in the comments about broken promises. Appears true. Just when you thought he couldn’t get any weaker! #nzpol #bhn

Todays Victim of RDS is none other than David Seymour. With a skin thinner than a pavlovas, David's best promotion of his bill is to attack opposing views. He cant find anyone outside ACT to promote his bill, so his derangement leads him to think he is a victim. #NZPOL #BHN

So MPs get a 20% super contribution from the taxpayer? Should be halved to 10% to align with halving the govt contribution to ours MPs urged to 'lead by example' and trim superannuation subsidy www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic.... Be a good position to take Chippy! #nzpol

Absolute howler from Willis on Q+A when asked about lack of progress/priority on child poverty targets - “We didn’t campaign on making that positive change for low income families.”. I hope the left never let her or NACT forget this hypocrisy about campaign promises vs actions #NZPOL

The budget - so much has already been said. The only war that matters is the class war, and this budget has the power to win it for EITHER side. If the left can find simple effective bytes & talk to the many, MANY people who this budget hurts, we may just have chance. #NPOL #BHN

@patbrittenden.bsky.social @chewienz.bsky.social Does being a registered media council member grant you any advocacy from the council to approach treasury on your behalf?

I feel absolute DISGUST that @clrenney.bsky.social is being stonewalled from the budget lock up, both as CTU & BHN. This is actual Trumpism by the finance minister of NZ. I hope the media crucify them for this #nzpol #bhn

When the Freeze Peach union show you who they are, remember it! #nzpol

Good to confirm that New Zealand's Free Speech Union (FSU) has amongst its members out-and-out racists, & xenophobes. Excerpt from letter addressed to Kiwibank in which they demand why the bank responded by saying what's noted is unacceptable. You can't make this stuff up. www.fsu.nz/blog/kiwiban...

#nzpol At 5pm yesterday, the Treasury informed the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions Te Kauae Kaimahi (NZCTU) it has been barred from attending the Budget lock-up on 22 May. This is the first time the CTU has been prevented from attending a Budget lock-up in living memory

@hadr0nc0llider.bsky.social · last yr.

I'm a feminist and I'm angry.

Luxons galling 'We are living beyond our means' is deceptive framing. It is NOT a household budget, the government can choose to increase its income (tax) but chooses not to. Lets not let him away with the fact that its a CHOICE they are making. #NZPOL #BHN

This Thursday at 7pm, @clrenney.bsky.social is doing a written AMA on the NZPolitics subreddit. Its a great community & well worth supporting. link below to the Announcement. Come and support Craig & ask your burning Qs! #NZPOL #BHN www.reddit.com/r/nzpolitics...
