The purge of NZ's health officials is almost complete. Is it a coincidence that the latest resignation is made public the same day that Minister Simeon Pee-wee Brown trumpets the benefits of "partnering with the private sector"? Fck this bunch of Tory clowns. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

www.stuff.co.nz/money/360555... Weren’t tax cuts for landlords supposed to put downward pressure on rents? 🤔 Or perhaps Luxon was just full of shit again. #nzpol

Want to make a submission on the bullshit, punitive, Social Security Amendment Bill and wondering where to start? Here's an excellent explainer by @drbex.bsky.social to help you get started. Due date is this Friday, Team!! 📆

It’s almost as if any policy beneficial for the planet is a target for funding cuts. Screw this govt so much. #nzpol Government quietly scraps waste minimisation policies

Being lectured by Nicola Willis on fiscal discipline is chalk on blackboard stuff. #nzpol

Aaarrrgh, Chris Luxon's interview on RNZ is a 7 minute exercise in gaslighting, and there's little pushback from Corin Dann. He also manages to throw in a barb about cycle lanes. God he's a mean-spirited dinosaur. #nzpol

It's a fiasco. With the stroke of Willis' pen, we get shittier ferries delivered years later, the viability of our railway network is undermined, and consumers and ratepayers wear more of the cost. All so she could desperately try to balance the books after pissing billions away in tax cuts. FFS.

From Environment Aotearoa on X-Twitter: If you’re in the red or orange zones, nitrate levels are high enough to cause bowel cancer. Water treatment systems are reportedly ineffective at removing nitrates. It is advisable to not drink this water. Scary shit in ‘clean & green’ NZ

This is obscene. They don’t just hate public transport, they hate the people who rely on it.

God, listening to Luxon on RNZ gives me hives.
