I published a piece on The Conversation today on legislated nursing ratios. Results in decreased mortality, complications, readmission, length of stay, and burnout in nurses, and better job satisfaction. Savings cover twice the cost of extra nurses. #nzpol theconversation.com/nzs-nursing-...

A massive injection of cash into a hospital with no staff or patients. This is #ChrisLuxon's & #SimeonBrown's legacy. No New Nurses. Hospitals underfunded/not staffed. Our Health System in Crisis & our people D.Y.I.N.G in corridors & EDs. #VoteThemOutNZ #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/...

At least he was sacked unlike ACT who let Tim Jago resign for ‘personal reasons’ that the media didn’t interrogate & mostly ignored since his sex offending was known. $$/ connections often means name suppression legally or by tacit agreement. #nzpol ‘Minor conviction’ minimised sex offending imo.

Quick reminder that Luxon spent a million dollars on an International Investors Summit last year and nobody invested 👍🏽

We are aware of this issue, it's HUGELY frustrating and we really hope that vote.nz find a fix quickly. The important thing to know is that if your intentions on your voting papers are clear, your vote will count. An X or a pasted ✓ is your best bet. #kikorangi www.1news.co.nz/2026/10/24/o...

Reporting what Mitchell said without reporting that under his watch PoliceNZ stopped turning up to DV incidents leaving 1000s of women at the receiving end of violence without assistance or justice. Mark Mitchell and National - who removed pay equity - care not one jot for women’s safety. Shame RNZ.

I am not convinced National did not know before the Herald contacted them.

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

When political scientists first raised concerns about this new restriction last year we were told we were being ‘alarmist’ to suggest tilting the playing field unfairly like this by one party can undermine the legitimacy of the election out come for all Kiwis in a tight race I’m still ‘alarmed’…

This is a brilliant article. “How to vote? In my view, if your electorate has a progressive candidate who could win, vote for them. But whatever else you do, party vote Green. It’s not just that there’s so much at stake, although there is. It’s that this is a moment of so much opportunity.” #nzpol

We all said it, then they printed it! Thank you newsroom & Aaron Smale in particular. 👏🕊️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #Aotearoa #ForAllOfUs

just a reminder that the nappies allegedly causing "hundreds painful infant skin reactions" (via consumerreports.org) are yet another ZURU product from the mowbray billionaires (who are currently getting involved in new zealand's upcoming election: www.webworm.co/elections)

Absolute fire from Aaron Smale here. #nzpol

307,991 eligible voters not enrolled as of Friday. Almost half (43%) are 18-24. The least enrolled age group; now even more so than 2023. This govt KNEW this would happen—and did it anyway, with no mitigation plan. Such disdain for democracy, and for young people. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/election-...

Another article openly talking about the election being rigged. National is reaping what is has sown www.nzherald.co.nz/the-listener...

I propose we create a new criminal offense of Corporate Sociopathy to punish the Boards and Chief Executives that put the financial returns to shareholders ahead of the wellbeing of the country #nzpol

Values turned into plans. Endorsement from a national hero, right here:

“Every Māori politician in this country gets asked, sooner or later, to account for a relationship no Pākehā politician is ever asked about”—a question framed by those who “have never had to explain their own cousins to a camera.” @mohanjdutt.bsky.social culture-centered.blogspot.com/2026/10/the-...

Another mRNA vaccine I would take if necessary.

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

The HYPOCRISY is Astounding!!!!! #nzpol #SamUffindell #BedlegSam #ViolenceForMeNotForThee #NationalNotFitToGovernNZ

I get this manufactured media political outrage over politicians of the left meeting gangs, 'they're meeting bad people who will endanger your safety' blah. Casey Costello's ACT & National Govt have given $300m tax breaks to an industry that kills 13 kiwis a day. Who is the greater danger?

It’s okay to go on the Platform and other extremist radio stations that are homophobic, racist, misogynist and routinely abusive towards vulnerable groups/people in a way that garners violence towards women, minorities and the vulnerable but not okay to talk to gangs. #nzpol #rightwhiteway

one of the ways for Hipkins to take the heat off Labour would be to do a big 'stand up' announcement and go after ACT and Seymour on how Jago was covered up, and that the entire National coalition is invested in protecting powerful pedophiles and their supporters

#nzpol Now THIS is a fiscal plan I can get behind!! Coherent, people and planet-centred, realistic, costed and workable. I deeply want this timeline to be our reality in a few weeks 💚✅✅ www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I don’t know if you will have noticed this. In the midst of an absolute crisis in every level of our health system, the Green Party announced a policy to massively boost funding to Health with a $30Bn investment over four years.

among other things, im just not sure why nz journalists seem to feel so comfortable writing glowing appraisals of someone who quite clearly protected and associated with a pedophile for reasons of political expediency

Given that previous justifications for lack of coverage of David Seymour's association to Tim Jago rested on Seymour's claim that he didn't know Jago very well, this should immediately ring alarm bells and have journalists asking some serious questions

Racist man who tells people to go back to their country, gets upset after being told to go back to his country 👍🏽

THis will make your day / night

Un-FUCKING-forgiveable. They wasted $9m on the 'councils must amalgamate', but 'oh wait we aren't ready' BS. Heathens, fucking heathens

"The question now is whether the regime will accept the decision of the court, appeal it, or (if re-elected) pull their usual stunt of over-ruling them by fiat legislation. The risk of the latter makes the election all the more important: if you support trans people, vote this hateful regime out!"

The VC's (across two institutions I've been part of) say the same things - they can't afford the asks, if would be fiscally irresponsible. Meanwhile they CAN afford to invest in very expensive buildings. I won't argue; yes, the buildings will bring value... but why is that not true for staff?

What. The. Actual Fuck!!!🤬🤬 Israel has no fucking business in the Pacific, doubly so with a bunch of genocidal war criminals running the country, and our government should have told them in no uncertain terms to fuck right off. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/pacific...

Quite simply NZ's tertiary education system for the past 40 years has been Under funded Under valued Under appreciated Under resourced Otago Politics dept. Same student numbers as when they had 15 staff, they currently have 8 (EIGHT) staff! Labour & National to blame equally.

Because that regime isn't going to change its nature just because they need extra votes from another party. ACT will still be vicious and racist. NZ First will still be racist and corrupt. National will still be tyrannical religious weirdos. To change any of that, we need regime change.

Bodily autonomy is a human right Simeon Brown! Keep your religious beliefs out of healthcare! #nzpol Reversible puberty blockers can't be banned for trans tamariki in consultation with specialists & their own parents! American tactics - VOTE THEM OUT! Great work PATHAS!
