Translation 'Don't know don't care' #nzpol

Govt wrecked lives to balance the books—now, ex-public servants are scrambling for work while services crumble. This wasn’t cost-cutting; it was a calculated attack on Aotearoa’s workforce. And the fallout is only beginning. #OneTermGovt #PublicSectorCuts #GovtFail #JobCrisis #NZPol #Aotearoa

The totally aware prime minister of New Zealand. #NZPOL

So a Minister in the Govt attempted to drive a Land Rover up the steps of parliament win order to help publicise a very honourable mission for better children's heath care A Minister in the sitting Government - say that bit out loud, the ones with the power to fund healthcare... f-ing cockwomble

"a lack of transparency about lobbying, a revolving door between government and lobbyists, use of urgency, issues of party financing, and limitations on the scope of the Official Information Act.” all contributed to our drop in rankings. #nzpol

David Seymour won't reveal if he took money from Philip Polkinghorne or not #nzpol

#nzpol

David Seymour doing something illegal, which he won’t get even censured for, to detract from his much worse decisions/actions - possible interference in police prosecution of a suspected wife killer, and pushing info about a suspected (now convicted) paedophile under the rug is really rank.

Has any sitting PM scored this low before? #nzpol "In the preferred prime minister stakes, National’s Luxon has taken a fall, down by 2% to 22%. It was his lowest result in the polls since he became Prime Minister" www.1news.co.nz/2025/02/10/p...

Even Curia's push polling shows Luxon and his government are in trouble. 🤣 Taxpayers' Union–Curia Poll shows Labour, Greens and Te Pāti Māori could form government www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

My feed is full of David Seymour and his landrover. 🤦‍♀️ Seymour did this stunt as a distraction from Jago, school lunches etc. By posting about it, it is exactly what Seymour wants.

#NewZealand unemployment has risen significantly whilst Oz has dropped AT THE SAME TIME as growing the workforce NZ's GDP has literally fell off a cliff because we have crayon sniffing idiots in charge of the economy #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Excellent interview and points made by @philtwyford.bsky.social on TV1 News tonight to National's moronic idea on an investor visa. Phil pointed out this had been tried in other countries and Australia, Spain, UK are scrapping it as it didn't make money overall. Keep it up Phil!

Yesterday I read a Stuff article calling for public submissions for Phase 2 Covid19 Inquiry from folk who had issues with vaccines, mandates, lockdowns. WTF. Here is the link so you can write a positive submission on your experience! www.beehive.govt.nz/release/onli...

This is exactly what I feared would happen and is completely outrageous. The govt wants to set up a brand-new PRO focusing on areas many researchers at Callaghan are experts in but won't offer them jobs. Researchers are not replaceable widgets, we can't just order 200 new ones when we need them!

God bless

I was out all afternoon and missed this little delight Christ

Is newly appointed Minister James Meager Rations still Select Committee Chair? "85/4 By convention, Cabinet Ministers are not select committee members. That is appropriate given the role committees play in scrutinising the executive"

WTAF! This is an astoundingly poor choice of words, even by Luxon’s abysmal standards

Our own very Doogy Howser MD, but with none of the knowledge, intelligence, nor any sense of obligation to cause no harm or hurt
