Tamaki leading a hate march, Seymour spotlighting academics for his fans to harass, Malpass repeating Israeli propaganda... we have a hell of a fight on our hands next year, folks.

The sheer arrogance of this is eye watering. The Australian mining company applying to mine the South Taranaki seabed wants iwi to jump on board and “get to work keeping an eye on the environment” whether they want seabed mining or not. #BanSeabedMining #auspol #nzpol

Just witnessed from a bus Destiny church people assault a man carrying a Palestinian flag on Queen St, Tāmaki Makaurau. Their march was hate filled and anti immigrant. Free Palestine! End the killing and the hate

David Seymour’s schtick works because he is not held accountable by anyone. Not Luxon. Not the media. Yeah he is interviewed here and there or whatever but there’s not true accountability. Absolutely no way a Green leader would get away with this level of nonsense. Not to mention he is dangerous.

Absolutely nothing in the News Media in the past 24 hours about the Prime Minister of New Zealand letting the Terrorist Designation of the Proud Boys expire. Has this subject been given of the NZ equivalent of the UK D-Notice? [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Notice ] #nzpol

Rounding out this dogshit week with a bout of food poisoning. Yay.

Hey can anyone remind me if there's a shorthand term for "when rightwing politicians try to impose their political ideology on universities and use their governmental position to target and demonise individual academics as enemies of the people" because that just takes so long to type out

"On 19 June 2025 pursuant to section 29B of the Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 (“TSA”), the designation of The American Proud Boys expired. Any person who deals with the property of The American Proud Boys is no longer liable to prosecution for an offence under section 9 or 10 of the TSA." #nzpol

Yesterday on 19th June 2025 the Prime Minister of NZ chose to let the terrorist designation of the right wing extremist group the US Proud Boys expire, while renewing The Base. The absence of comments from the Coalition is noticeable. The absence of coverage by the News Media is abominable. #nzpol

So I’m assuming that David Seymour and all the other race-baiters who think it’s all gone a little too Maahree are hard at work today?

On this morning 8 o clock bulletin, RNZ used the line "the Hamas-run administration" to cast doubt on the report that 77 more civilians had been murdered overnight while queuing for food. It's 20 June 2025. How are they still doing this?

Central government actively vandalising the much needed development of social housing in Wellington.

After watching the difference between Israel bombing EVERY HOSPITAL in Gaza INTENTIONALLY for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT, and what seems like a Iranian stray missile hitting an Israeli hospital (which is bad, too!) - I'm done with Western media. This isn't journalism. It is complicity in genocide.

Sorry but unless you've announced it every time Israel has completely destroyed a hospital, as well as for many other WORSE atrocities, then doing the "I just believe in international law" when Iran accidentally hits a hospital has *implications* about your politics, ideology & baseline bigotry 🤷‍♀️

This is dangerous for a party in government to do. It's unacceptable.

You ever have a work day that ages you ten years...... Yeah.

I’m not well versed in the census situation (compared to other countries) to have an opinion but I have to say it’s giving povvo. It’s giving the govt has no money and they are canceling whatever they can get their hands on to save whatever dollars. It’s giving money mismanagement. Bad look.

Ha ha. This is going to make some brains explode. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

On the eve of Matariki the most iconic mid-winter scene played on on Cuba St this afternoon

Will ANYONE be asking Luxon, if your not renewing the terrorist designation of the Proud Boys & The Base in New Zealand, expiring TOMORROW, explicitly what has changed since the report was made by the NZ Police? [ www.police.govt.nz/sites/defaul... ] Nothing on the NZ Gazette Search page. #nzpol

I just listened to the Mediawatch about Alex, and it reminded me a few weeks ago another parent of a trans kid asked about the term "deadname" and talked about how painful they found it. And someone else very gently explained to them that it's called a "deadname" because 1/3

I'd note that many of the current NIMBYs who want to return to the Wellington of the late 90s and early 00s are pining for a time when the arts were in full flight in Wellington.

It's annoying me how USA liberals are pretending the US was a great democracy until Trump got in. Trump certainly makes things even worse but the USA was never great, genocides on the indigenous population, slavery, wealth gaps, coups and establishing dictatorships and wars around the world.

Meanwhile New Zealanders know that only CCs is tasting like theeese

See also Ronald McDonald house. Costs them basically nothing and they get to put their name on the best PR ever and have their customers pay for it.

This is the way.

The mayor is just one vote. If u hate rich people buying political influence vote for cool and normal candidates like @rebeccamatthews.bsky.social who will frustrate them at the council table.
