It’s good to know there’s at least a line that Andrew Bayly can cross and he gets sacked. Calling a person doing their job a “loser” and telling them to “fuck off” wasn’t it. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Anybody who believes Dutton will match Albanese's Medicare promise "dollar for dollar" - I've got a bridge to sell - Medicare is a complete anathema for the LNP - it's so far out of their increasingly Trumpian ideology it's almost at the ISS.

Dutton, like Abbott, will say anything prior to the election & renege on all of it if he wins power. His primary allegiance is to Gina Rinehart. He doesn't give a rat's bum about anybody who hasn't got at least a few million.

Treasury warned the government its policies were "likely to fall well short of the reductions required to meet the current ten-year [child poverty reduction] targets". At the last election, National campaigned to halve child poverty by 2028. #nzpol

“But Tamaki’s real problem is hate. And Tamaki hates a lot of people. Tamaki incited and encouraged violence, lawlessness and disorder. He commissioned an offence both prejudicial to public safety & the maintenance of public order.” The Govt needs to stop the pipeline of men/funds to Destiny orgs.

A net loss of 72,000 New Zealand citizens in the 2024 calendar year. This is the worst recorded result for a calendar year. This Govt continues to set new records.

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

“Luxon & Willis who were so against Robertson’s borrowing to get NZ thru Covid-19 & Cyclone Gabrielle, inexplicably chose to give up large chunk of revenue in tax cuts (mostly for landlords & already well-paid) & fill the gap in their self-created structural deficit with INCREASED borrowing.” #nzpol

And yet we’ve moved completely away from the pedophile that ACT ran cover for. The media’s inability to hold Seymour and his party to account for even the vilest actions is quite something.

Could defence minister Judith Collins be any ironic? As her govt refuses funding for hospitals, she says “we certainly need to spend a lot more [on the military] to get ourselves back out of the ICU and into the ward” #nzpol #aukus #healthcarenotwarfare www.1news.co.nz/2025/02/23/e...

This is something I’ve been thinking about too. The cost of abandoning or postponing projects must be absolutely enormous. All those sink costs, all that work, just tossed away. Just breathtakingly wasteful and profligate. I’d like to see some reporting on the true cost of their actions. #nzpol

So far I've only seen digital coverage on RNZ This seems to indicate NZ media have a vested interest in publishing far-right activism above & beyond the way they cover peaceful progressive movements We should be scrambling to ask why that is & seeking to change it - its an outrageous precedent
