So Hamish Campbell is some kind of Two By Twos elder and lied about it. PM unaware yet again. Claiming to be ‘socially liberal’ whilst being in the Nat party is an oxymoron. Why is National full of super patriarchal christians? #nzpol

Morning fog over #Vancouver 🚁

Security threat. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Musk has placed the entire staff of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) on administrative leave.

Seymour had to be the most costly MP ever, charter schools, treaty bill, school lunches, imagine how much government waste would be saved just by disposing of him.

I wrote about China's climate policy. Did you know that China has enacted the most comprehensive climate policy in the world? Well, it has — because it's positioning itself as global hegemon for the climate-changed future. Trump's climate denial is only a stupid, tragic assist to that end. 🧵

With some additions: Police don't prevent crime. They respond to it. Living Wages, guaranteed free health care, food security, equity, affordable high quality child care, affordable secure housing, good schools, social programmes, disability support, addiction & MH treatment prevent crime. #nzpol

David Seymour spending $10m on 215 students for charter schools is classic ACT. Inefficient taxpayer money spend w/bad results. Interestingly, the documents note charter schools are free to operate as for profit. This ruse is just privatisating our education sector by stealth, funded by us #nzpol

First Spinoff with the Luxon as a CEO is good for NZ twist, now Gower with Amanda Luxon puffery - NZ is really doubling down on American "balanced" media takes, which can only be to our detriment. And the media's! #nzpol

#auspol The dismantling of democracy and not incidentally clean energy rollout is the aim of CPAC Aust. Andrew Cooper who heads it has an Atlas Thinktank MBA. Tony Abbott is a huge fan of Orban and a frequent visitor to Hungary. Cooper & Mundine both from this Atlas org: www.inkl.com/news/conserv...

Simeon gaslights NZ doctors, blaming them for the strike and telling doctors they didn't need to do this. Meanwhile National & ACT seek to silence doctors at the same time; offering a paycut while giving themselves 11% pay bumps for ruining the country and our public healthcare system #kiwi #nzpol

Heartless stuff of nightmares, brought to you by rich libertarian and right wing interests - Donald J Trump. But then again, he's just a figure head for the agenda.

Another great piece from @mountaintui.bsky.social

‘The last thread connecting people to services’: why vets are risking all to care for Gaza’s donkeys

Less driving tests and less eyesight tests because NZ drivers are so good and our track record is so strong. "Chris Bishop said the process for getting a driver licence was "time consuming and inefficient" i.e. More cost cutting that risks lives #nzpol #newzealand

While the Trump Clown Show rolls on with spectacular, spell binding effects, what's it hiding, and why are the new right wing so 'dumb'? Here's a hint - someone is winning. #nzpol #trump #newzealand
