I'm so sad about the sanctions given to the Te Pati Māori MPs. If you want to talk about conduct unbecoming an MP, Winston's comments about moko should have been far more offensive than the haka. I think the best way to protest is a donation to @tepaatimaori.bsky.social #nzpol

Letter to the Herald #NZpol

A timely reminder for Australian voters, too, from this New Zealander writing about the NZ negative experience of privatisation of publically-owned assets. #auspol #nzpol #qldpol

The older I get the further left I vote. National Party raised kid, to Labour Party adult & wise mum to Greens last election & now it’s proudly @tepaatimaori.bsky.social in 2026. I know I’m not alone. Women/Wāhine have had enough of the kids squabbling, we demand tangible solutions forever. #nzpol

"The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is continuing to delay releasing information related to Adrian Orr’s sudden resignation as governor three months ago." "The restructuring has seen former assistant governors Kate Kolich, Greg Smith, Simone Robbers and Sarah Owen leave." A Coalition Doge? #nzpol

If you can't perform a haka in a public space and yes the parliament chamber is owned by the people then we should remove the haka from sports events that are watched by the attended Coalition idiots. #nzpol

It’s worse than this. The RW harbour & protect sexually deviant individuals as part of the good old boys club rule. It is a sick & twisted attitude to life & one that reeks of private school boy privilege. This has got to change! #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

She was the best of New Zealand and the fools replaced her with racists and fascists personified by Luxon! #nzpol

First you need to listen & understand…then you just might grow. #nzpol #ToitūTeTiriti #TangataTiriti #Aotearoa

Kia Ora Earthlings, Chlöe Swarbrick is a brilliant tactitician in #parliament. #nzpol @tepaatimaori.bsky.social #tpb #rsb #unjust

I am also Tangata Tiriti, and I support @tepaatimaori.bsky.social in the face of the shameful actions of our racist coalition government. I see your strength and your mana, and I know there are many more like me. Arohanui. Kia kaha, and #toitutetiriti #nzpol 🫶

I wanted a minority Labor Govt that had to listen to the Greens and the Teal independents. The Albanese Labor Govt's ongoing inaction on the #GazaGenocide, its approval for Woodside's #NorthWestShelf project, and continued support for #AUKUS are just 3 reasons. 😔 #auspol

The foolish rationale for spending $368B on #AUKUS subs is to support the US in war with China over Taiwan. The US says this could happen in 2027. We won’t get US subs until at least 2032; if ever. AUKUS is strategic folly at every level. But don’t expect anyone to admit that. #auspol

One of the very noticeable things about #AUKUS is the ease with which top politicians in all three countries gloss over practical realities. This ease flows from the fact that none of them will be around when the fantasy ship hits the rocks. #auspol

Australia's #AUKUS nuclear sub build is critically dependent on the UK's sub industrial base which needs massive new investment. Can we rely on Whitehall politicians prioritising this program when they can't say how much they'll commit? #folly #auspol

Australia won’t receive any submarines, but only after spending tens of billions. 🤦‍♂️ #AUKUS #auspol

MSM is waking up to Defence procurement incompetence but Govt is still asleep. We need radical Defence reform. And former Defence Dept leaders should not review Defence. Dennis Richardson’s (unfinished) review of #AUKUS was a sham before it started. We need a clean sweep. #auspol

How many times and in how many ways and for how long do the #Australian people have to ask these common sense questions? What is the value/purpose of #AUKUS & the 🤬 Submarines? 👇 #Auspol #Albo

Come on @albomp.bsky.social right the wrongs and give these people asylum in Australia. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Would U.S beef have a much higher risk of toxins in the cattle due to toxicity source regulations being cut by the Trump/GOP admin, depending on the area they come from ? Such as high risk fertilisers in cattle food and #pfas in their water ? #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

“Human security – real, lasting security – means addressing inequality, building prosperity, acting on climate and protecting the environment on which we depend” Do better Australia! #auspol theconversation.com/friday-essay...?

Not only do #FossilFuelFuckers pay virtually no tax, they are subsidised by the taxpayer to kill us with floods & fires! It’s #outfuckingrageous that we are paying them to kill us! 5 people were killed in the mud north coast floods! This is on you @albomp.bsky.social!

Former PM Scott Morrison should be in front of the NACC - not getting a King's Birthday Honours Award. Upside down world #auspol

"Treasury’s advice was ultimately that it was better if superannuants didn’t have farms and properties in their super funds." Absolfrickenlutely (esp given many of the "farmers" would be living in Double Bay)

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Jack White for the win 🔥

Liberal Party in a nutshell #auspol

BREAKING Reform's Zia Yusuf resigns as chair "I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office."

No crystal ball was required regarding the eventual sundering of the relationship between Trump & Elon Musk. Here were noisy, brash egos who had formed a rancid union in US politics! #RapistTrump promises to slash $1.5T in govt spending but increases debt limit by $4T!

Scott Morrison is getting AU’s highest honour, a #King’sBirthday honour, despite a laundry list of scandals & embarrassments such as #Robodebt, multiple ministries & habitual lying — the latest politician to be given the award. Proving those awards are meaningless BS!!! #auspol

everything is securities fraud www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We need solutions/reforms like this ... APRA limit on quantity of investment loans... not perfect but something that can be implemented quickly, is targeted, and has an actual history of working in #Australia Its not the total solution but its a start #Auspol youtube.com/shorts/kusuI...

🔄 What if the solution to our waste crisis was hiding in plain sight - in your morning coffee routine, your weekend op-shop finds, and your university lecture halls? New research on @auspolicyhistory.bsky.social reveals how Australians are living the circular economy, often without realising it.

My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine. They do not deserve the suffering they are experiencing. Humans can be so destructive. Ukraine was under an ongoing Russian ballistic missile and drone attack that wounded at least three people. Multiple explosions in Kyiv. apnews.com/article/russ...

“It’s gaslighting, because you have to actually reduce emissions or climate change will just run away" OK, there is a difference between the Coalition and Labor on climate policy: The LNP has no interest in carbon reduction. The Albanese govt just pretends to. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
