If I have read @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social fb post correctly, AISTBC, no ACT MP is attending the select committee TPB hearings that Duncan is chairing. FYI, the volume of submissions means there's 2 committees hearing submissions. Un-effing-believable.

I've seen lots of commentary this morning on how Luxon et al never answer questions. How about media stop asking questions. Stop inviting them on shows. Stop covering their press conferences. It's wasting everyone's time. We still need a press gallery to report info, just not ask questions.

Dear Christian leaders of Aotearoa NZ. Where is your condemnation of the hateful bullying & intimidation from Destiny. Your voices speaking out would send a powerful message. Currently your silence is speaking loudly of your hypocrisy. Come on! Stand up for loving our vulnerable communities.

What the fuck is "Halal friendly"?

At a time when Kiwis deserve a government focussed on creating jobs, increasing incomes, building homes and fixing healthcare they instead have to suffer a government that is at war with itself and a weak PM who won’t enforce basic standards of ministerial accountability. #nzpol

Seriously? Our prime minister has to get a publication to print an opinion piece to get his point across???

I think the CoC are so far off track they're lost. Even a cunning plan from Baldrick would be better than than their current lack of a plan.

If Chris Hipkins and Christopher Luxon had a Waka paddle race, who would win?

If you need some help with your submission to the consultation phase of the RSB (which can be done via email) this is SO helpful. Thanks to @archivesrock.bsky.social #nzpol

If you are unable to submit on the Treaty Principles Bill due to Parliament’s IT system crashing please email the select committee at [email protected] and ask for an extension.

Just had to a message from a friend. A friend who thought John Key was the best and had never voted anything other than Nats before being nrow beaten by me about Labour...

Opinion: Former Prime Minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer puts forward 12 reforms of Parliament that would help restore and strengthen our democracy newsroom.co.nz/2025/01/06/p...

Geoffrey Palmer is a serious man and these are serious proposals and not just because I largely agree with them. But compulsory voting? If that "strengthens democracy" you have to wonder if our next-door neightbours got the memo. #nzpol

Kia ora e hoa ma, some of you on X may already be up with this news. Mr Me has been diagnosed with Stage 3 AL Amyloidosis. It isn't a blood cancer, but is like a blood cancer, and is treated the same way - with chemo. It's affecting his heart and kidneys, so the best we can hope for is remission - 2

Morena Tamaki Makaurau. We'd appreciate less cloud please, and Thank you.

Here's the thing ... You don't give in to bigots. You don't cancel events. You don't wait to repaint our symbols. You don't give them an inch, or they'll take a mile. And then they'll take the next mile. Giving in emboldens them. Standing firm, standing up to them, as a community is what matters.

This week has seen the most coordinated hatred towards the LGBT+ community in Aotearoa that I've seen in my life. I don't recall this vitriol even when same-sex marriage was being debated. If you're an ally, support your queer friends right now, it's rough out there.

I don't know why professional communicators need to be told this, but calling Destiny Church's ongoing stochastic terror campaign a "clash" with the LGBTQI+ communities implies there's two sets of actors here. Stop it. You're minimizing and enabling. #NZPol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I've never rated Russell Coutts, right from a young age when he was a highly disdainful caretaker at my work. I'm stoked the smol dolphins won.

#NZpol Interesting contrast on stopping Law Commission’s work on hate speech law - (Via X-Twitter)

In light of the cancellation of Drag Story Time on police advice, can Brian Tamaki be legally classified as a gang leader now?

A friend's just described Luxon as "Temu Trump", which sums him up perfectly. #nzpol #NationalNotFitToGovern

It's not even borrowing to give to the poor!
