Absolutely outrageous. We need the Opposition to promise they will cancel these contracts, and say it loudly right now.

Barry Malone Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th. 231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.🤬🤬🤬😪

lmao stuff reporting on a fed farmers Curia Poll targeting farm owners and farm managers only which shows vote National and ACT then revealing the numbers are not in any way weighted, meaning it's a completely dog shit poll and another tick in the "why Curia left the Research Association NZ" box

Recently released figures from Stats NZ show that food prices have increased by 3.5% in the last 12 months to March 2025. Stats NZ said food prices have been rising at their fastest rate in more than a year, #nzpol

When the government trumpets reducing emergency housing numbers and then says it doesn't know where the people went, it would be nice for the media to ask them if that's why homelessness is up, because the government made people homeless www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

58% increase in Auckland homelessness. 40% increase in Wellington. Christchurch emergency housing applicants nearly all turned away as govt "saves" $250 million a year in emergency housing, while throwing ~$2bn a year on PPP prisons. Is this us, New Zealand? Because it feels like it. #nzpol #kiwi

Labour buoyed by latest showing in RNZ / Reid Research poll

Road cone hotline open. 10,000 Kiwis killed on the job since 2010, 73 last year, $4.4bn in cost of workplace injuries and deaths per year. So instead of fixing the issue i.e understaffing, insufficient budget, ACT "cut red tape", stopped enforcing business rules while routing $ to BS #nzpol

THAT IS AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS TOO😮 Meanwhile in Aotearoa New Zealand, Qantas, AIRNZ and others are investing in more seats to get Kiwis to Australia for higher paid jobs and more job opportunities. #nzpol

Ruth Richardson didn't invent New Public Management, but she helped entrench it. Her 1991 reforms extended the logic of the 1988 State Sector Act to welfare, health, education and justice. However, the part she owns is what she did to those carrying the brunt of the 1980s reforms.

For the last day of NZ Music Month, we share the story of a man who has been making music for more than four decades, since he was a lad. Don McGlashan was raised on Auckland's North Shore (Westlake Boys represent...) www.audioculture.co.nz/profile/don-...

I seem to remember a massive amount of ongoing media covering a politician drinking alcohol in late 2023. In that case there were just rumours of a video that was whipped up into a media storm by the right wing. We've seen this tape, so will Chris Bishop be subject to the same sustained criticism?
