David Seymour clearly doesn't know how hard it is to get a disability allowance

"... the reality is, it’s never been easy to get disability benefits; ... yet in a close election with every party looking for a scapegoat, even proving every single year that you have a disability ... to receive a tiny bit of support is considered too easy." #NZPol thespinoff.co.nz/politics/27-...

Injured Kiwis left to 'fall off the cliff' as approval of ACC claims becomes harder

New Waitakere Hospital ICU sits empty due to lack of funding & staff; 80% of Govt’s new health spending growth went to private sector as the sectors’ profits doubled. Many of those private providers are offshore, some based in Cayman Islands h/t @bernardchickey.bsky.social

Israel sealed the West Bank, emptied parts of Hebron and tightened the squeeze on Gaza as its election campaign closed.

"But the preferred option comes with a price tag of more than half a billion." Oh no! We couldn't possibly run hourly trains between two of the North Island's three biggest cities for a price tag as steep as *checks notes* 1/7th the cost of a motorway to save a few minutes on the drive to Northland

Luxon is attacking labour for saying they'd like to have a short negotiation period when forming a govt. But luxons excuse for changing the enrolment rules was literally the same reason. This is luxon accidentally admitting he didnt change the enrolment rules to speed things up.

There have been over 2,500 shipwrecks in Aotearoa New Zealand since the 1790s. 100% of those were Captained by men. Why are men so bad at boats?

If the same thing keeps happening, who is it working for? There’s more to this story. Oxfam’s new climate inequality report arrives on 27 October. Watch this space. #MakeRichPollutersPay #ClimateJustice

You don’t have to board a private jet to live with its consequences. Shocked? Angry? Pick your emoji and follow the carousel. Then demand rules that put people’s safety ahead of luxury flights. Read #DisasterDivide here: www.oxfam.org/en/research/... #MakeRichPollutersPay #ClimateJustice

Incredibly important to share far and wide this election. As we’ve seen in consistent appalling headlines, and in lived experience on a daily basis, women and children are not a political priority in New Zealand. It’s very clear below who does have this top of mind - it’s vital to vote accordingly.

The political right have failed to overturn democracy in Brazil and Serbia. What a great day.

National has funnelled $2.4 billion of a total $3b increase to the private sector through its term - that's 80% of all its increased healthcare funding allocation. I've written at length on this topic and again today Privatisation kills - no more greater than in healthcare - reason NSW banned it

NONE of their arguments hold water. They made voting harder for no benefit at all. Totally unnecessary change. And they were told this at the time by the Electoral Commission.

If the National party wants to threaten an 81-year old with jail for an amusing response to their campaign lies, we can and should judge them on it at the ballot box www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

RNZ & journalistic failure becoming synonymous, particularly in political reporting running this "just reporting what was said" during an election is fucking wild Seymour even says he doesnt know! simply ask an expert instead of carrying misinfo attack lines on behalf of a far right politician??

It's a dead space and its closure will have no great impact.

Have you or someone you know been turned away from voting? Newsroom wants to hear from you! newsroom.co.nz/2026/10/27/e...

Insanity. Turns out it's almost half of the health budget under National that goes to private corporate helth, and 80% of all new funding is going to private and corporate healthcare #NZPOL

Mortgage repayments overpowered loan drawdowns last quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, this is contractionary. It means repayments going back to banks (=money deleted) is more than value of new mortgage loans pumped into the economy (=money created). Explanation here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

1. Anything run or started by Jordan Williams should be considered the same organisation 2. You can bet he (and Seymour) would be super against anything even slightly slanderous aimed at ACT (see: Tim Jago) #nzpol

Jordan Williams will keep pushing as far as timid regulators will allow. This time it's featuring the Green party's "for all of us" slogan on an astroturf billboard attacking them. #NzPol
