shockingly, david seymour lied. like he lied about when he knew his party president was a rapist.

When we have zero access to book borrowing, never-emptied public rubbish bins, unplanted verges and no public conveniences, at least we can turn around and say: "Well at lest the rates were $10 less. What an utterly stupid decision.

This needs to be reposted. Of course Chris Penk knew. He lied because he wanted her brand of hate to come here to NZ, and because he’s a coward who hides his real, unpopular theocratic agenda from the voters. #nzpol

@taipo.bsky.social Is this the same church that the Posie Parker Nazis vandalised?

Really glad we've had the Sensible People in charge of the supposed opposition to the parties that just slid entirely far right over the last two decades. The rule-book, don't be uncivil, we should cautiously support our opponents and never criticise them strongly or reverse their actions people.

We, the public, need to be clear in our commentary about this. We WANT kids to get school lunches. We DON’T WANT Seymour deciding what school kids eat. We DEMAND more funding for school lunches. #nzpol

Just remember the Govt had data from 400 schools saying 91% of lunches were eaten and only an anecdote about waste.

No notes

What I'd just say to you is, I'm very disappointed in Chris Bishop getting caught telling the truth about how many social houses my Coalition is responsible for. #LyinLuxon

Correcting the record.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Those motherfucking motherfuckers! #NZPol

Brian Tamaki doesn’t get to decide what PARENTS decide to take their kids to.

You hold the arsonist(s) accountable AFTER the fire is out. But listen to me. Look at me: You *Have* To Hold The Arsonists Accountable.

Gobsmacking! 😵‍💫The Govt REMOVED environmental provisions from the Fast Track legislation 😵‍💫Bishop requested advice “on how it can be weighted more in favour of development” 😵‍💫Project viability was removed as a threshold for entry #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/02/17/e...

Hey remind me, has anyone else ever proposed imprisoning their political opposition in "mental asylums" for naming authoritarian overreach

Been thinking a lot today about this whole idea of "indoctrination" and gender-affirming care, here's a bit of a breakdown of what I do as a trained counsellor when working with someone who's questioning their gender identity if it's of value to anyone.

I need people (especially the media) to stop calling it a protest when it was an intentionally violent attack on lgbtqia+ people, children, and their whānau at a public library.

In 2005, peace activists did a peaceful protest against the Iraq War at the Australian Embassy that involved someone dressing up in a kangaroo suit and handprints in red paint. The gates were open, people just wandered up to the building, did the protest and left.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

The Herald coming in hot with a new weasel construction, "violence took hold" Did anyone bother to ask the PM just how "far" he would have been okay with these jackbooted bullies going?

Is Brian Tamaki protected? Yesterday Stuff edited out the worst of the video footage from their article. NZ Herald quoted Tamaki saying his people were "peacefully" protecting kids. No-one in this Govt have ever condemned them. The last gov removed 2 tax free statuses - what will THIS govt do?

I want to be really clear that Tamaki's rhetoric has been measurably increasing in the last few weeks, which extremism researchers have noticed and contacted Police about. This is shocking but should not be a shock. This was signalled, clearly building and (in my opinion) plainly incited.

“In a sermon this morning, [Brian] Tamaki told followers he gave instructions to the church elder in charge of the protest action. ‘I want you to storm the library they’re in and shut it down.’” This is stochastic terrorism from a violent hate group. #nzpol
