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

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

RNZ asking the Sensible Sentencing Trust and TPU for comment on the new attack billboards is yet more evidence they learned nothing from Dirty Work. These are bad-faith PR orgs and RNZ is willfully running cover for them.

It sure does, your government is run by the #AtlasNetwork Hope our dear Kiwi cousins rise up and kick out your fossil fascist flavoured #AtlasNetworkGovernment at the election on Nov 7th #AoNZpol #NZpol

Felt so good to drop my two green ticks in the ballot box today, along with my two greenie daughters! It was almost as cathartic as actually kicking Luxon Seymour & Peters in the dick on repeat. 💚🕊️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #Aotearoa #ForAllOfUs

Let’s be honest. Tax cuts mean less money for health, education, social services, housing, roads, rail, and infrastructure. #nzpol

A VERY SAD VOTING SUPPRESSION DAY TO THOSE OF YOU ASSUREDLY DO NOT CELEBRATE! #NZPol

Aleksandar Vucic, the Serbian leader brought down by students https://aje.news/8w47nk

BLOW YOUR FUCKING NOSE DON'T SNORT. PUT YOUR HAND OVER YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU SNEEZE/COUGH. Holy crap people; nobody needs to hear your phlegm.

Until we muzzle the oligarchs, every election, forever, will be about the cost of living.i

Not beyond belief. This happened to Act in 2011 when Brash was leader, but only John Banks squeaked in after the election, making him leader. From Wikipedia: Brash's 213 day tenure as ACT leader remained the shortest tenure of any major party leader in modern New Zealand politics until 14 July 2020.

Last time I looked *checks notes* gangs weren't the ones that slashed pay equity, sunk a ferry deal, failed to keep inflation in check, destroyed our international reputation as independents, shot our health system to pieces through inaction & had a 3 headed cockweasel running the asylum. #nzpol

'Proximity becomes contamination only when the bodies in the frame are Māori and poor, and the newsroom knows this without ever having to say it ... Nobody had to instruct anybody. The picture editor simply knew which image would run.' @mohanjdutt.bsky.social #NzPol

I already posted this from RNZ, but I'll comment on the Stuff article seeing I've read that in full. This whole "scandal" was caused by Hipkins and only him. He's the one who went all morality police on it, causing Leoni to have to lie and tow party line. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

Starting to think Chippy got his nickname from throwing colleagues in the wood chipper.. #nzpol

Attention NZ media (still no coverage??) – you'll definitely want to pop your heads out from under that #nzpol rock for this one!

I'm absolutely furious right now. I'm afraid that Hipkins has just condemned us all to at least 3 more years of rapidly escalating cost of living, poverty, worse health outcomes and erosion of rights for tangata whenua, workers and communities all to enrich the corporations and super wealthy #nzpol

National have endorsed a criminal genocide state as a member in the Pacific Island Forum. Hosting Israeli soldiers in Aotearoa despite their crimes against humanity. All of it done covertly and without consultation. HIPKINS SAYS NOTHING. Yet gangs are the problem and that's all media covers?

Gangs exist because Hipkins, Luxon & every other Prime Minister has sided with the billionaires. You did this.

And I want 10000 wasps to swarm david seymour. We sometimes just dont get what we want

Hipkins has incentivised the economy where reactionary watchdogs will look 4 more evidence of spurious links between "gangs" & "the left".Even on its own terms, I think it's a pol mistep.It indulges a pious MSM watchdogism that rings increasingly hollow 4 many #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

I'm no lawyer, but doesn't Hipkins sacking of Kerrin Leoni breach at least the spirit of the AoNZ Bill of Rights. She is being punished for associating with gang members. S17 of BORA says we have the right to choose who we meet and work with. He's saying she doesn't have that right. #nzpol

If (when?) Labour loses this election, and the regime ushers in another 3 years of cruel, corrupt, bigoted tyranny, we will know exactly who to blame: Chris Hipkins. This mediocrity was so afraid of winning and having to do things, he's now sabotaging his own campaign.

Who wants two weeks of blanket media coverage on the grubby little details of this despicable political coverup case? 🙋‍♀️ A vote for National is a vote for kiddy fiddlers! See how that works. 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #Aotearoa #ForAllOfUs

Speaking of pre-election media smear campaigns, in the name of balance & fairness, I expect this previously (largely) ignored political scandal will be visited upon David Seymour in a timely manner BEFORE people cast their votes? 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #Aotearoa #ForAllOfUs

If Hipkins did this (he did didn't he), HE & HE alone just threw the minuscule chance he had of winning the election. Ignore the story, let it die over the long weekend, announce a fucking policy & move on. NOW this will dominate the narrative - you stupid fucking fragile neoliberal white dick

Fuck this shit 🤬 Also; “Because nominations have closed, Kerrin’s name will still appear on the ballot. However, she is no longer a Labour candidate and does not represent the party.” How many people will know she’s no longer a candidate? How many votes will be wasted because of it? Fuck! #nzpol #NZ

#nzpol I admit that I have been seriously struggling for a long, long time to decide who/what to vote for🤔. Can now confirm that struggle is well and truly over☹️. ENROL NOW ... AND THEN VOTE NEXT WEEK✊🏾. Kia kaha. 🙏🏾.

Could this be our “October Surprise”? Will Hipkins racism push enough progressive voters from Labour to Greens to get them over 20%, maybe even on equal footing with Labour? (Probably not. But I can dream) #nzpol

#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...

If anyone thinks “we shouldn’t be criticising Hipkins because that could cost the left block the election” please mute or block me to save yourself some angst. If Labour loses it’s 100% on Hipkins and his craven pandering to the white, racist centrists, siding with NACT over his own MPs #nzpol

Imagine if Chris Hipkins humiliated Luxon and Co. with the same fire, fury and resolve with which he rat-fucks uppity darkies on his own side. Dream on, because you're going to fucking die waiting for THAT to happen. #nzpol
