Tory Whanau has delivered record investment in water infrastructure, freed up record amounts of space for new homes in the inner city and installed a record number of bus and bike improvements.

The National Party gave David Seymour what ever he wanted to get into power - including his own Ministry for Regulation. This Ministry is a waste of money - just like the Treaty Principles Bill was.

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org

Today I learned that Ethiopia banned imports of non-electric vehicles in early 2024. Home to 130 million people, Ethiopia is the 13th most populous country in the world. Electricity in Ethiopia is ~100% renewable, with ~95% from hydropower and ~5% from wind. electrek.co/2024/02/02/i...

Wouldn't it be great if, instead of having a Minister of Foreign Affairs obsessing about stuff that's none of his business, we had one who clearly and unequivocally called this humanitarian catastrophe out? #nzpol

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Thinking about my dad today and that is rare. He died when I was 7 and was a hands-off parent so I don't have many memories. He had just qualified as a doctor in London when WW2 broke out so he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, this young man of recent Maori descent from Russell.

Brilliant article, well-written, treads carefully through the extent of Atlas Network’s influence on NZ politics No, it doesn’t direct anything, nor, aside from staffers doing its trainings, does it fund the NZ network partners like TPU, NZI Smart reporting 👏👏👏 #nzpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Oh hey Erica Stanford lied to us again, the "replacement" relationship and sexuality guidelines have removed all mention of gender diversity, don't include menstruation until year 7, and erase Māori / Pasifika perspectives, so get your submission typing fingers ready insideout.org.nz/make-an-urge...

Most of my advocacy is through CHSA, but 20% — incl. Thistoll v Minister of Justice and puberty blocker work — currently sits outside it for legal reasons and is self-funded. I’ve burned through my savings doing it. If you’d like to support that mahi: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Paul Thistoll 03-0547-0039160-01

The essential mistake in the UK judgement — and in Winston's proposed bill — is to treat biology as the bedrock of human rights. Rights are about how people live, how they are treated, and what they face. It is gender that must underpin our protections. My thoughts⬇️ thespinoff.co.nz/politics/23-...

So did any news outlet include the fact that NZ First overwhelmingly voted against abortion law reform while breathlessly promoting their "protecting women's biology" garbage? You are allowed to remember things that happened five years ago, you know

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606... Simon Watts Minister for climate change is doing very very very little to put anything into action. Downplaying, ignoring, whatabouting rather than doing what is the bare bloody minimum. Usual cosplay from our current overlords. #NzPol
