Call me a masochist but I often read the comments on NZH stories which is generally hard to read. Imagine my surprise at the ones on the bottom of this one. What I would say to you is even NZH readers are tired of his schtick.

Party voting Labour? Yes: read on No: you can go. This thread isn't for you 👋🏽 a lil 🧵for some ... a long 🧵 for others It might confront who you think you are. I hope it does.

JFC. Hipkins being dismembered by Hipkiss on RNZ. He’s so bad at this.

I cannot emphasise enough how bad Luxon's economic speech was today - a veritable torrent of crap. Seriously. If this is what Treasury are giving him to say they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. I'll try and keep my critique to six points.... [🧵 1/n] www.1news.co.nz/2026/09/14/w...

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll.

...says the pro nukes guy.

It’s ironic that National announces an education policy to train future generations for service work and our growing international reputation is for aerospace – RocketLab, Dawn, and Kea.

Brian Eno: Tax me more - July 24, 2026

Luxon has been MIA as a leader since December last year. He’s been doing the ceremonial stuff but Willis, Bishop, Brown, and Peters & Jones have fronted the government. Crisis of confidence or mental health issues?

Subsidized LNG terminal anyone?

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

DPMC releases Christopher Luxon's new portrait...

Chloe Swarbrick perfectly defined National’s obsession with roads by calling them Roads of National Party Significance.

It feels so wrong liking this post.

NEW ON EXIT FROM AFFCO: Jeffery Epstein and Lawrence Krauss’ planned (but cancelled) trip to New Zealand in 2010, Krauss’ attempts at a Epstein-funded institute at Otago Uni, and a wider discussion on Epstein, Aotearoa, and why elites keep flocking here www.exitfromaffco.com/p/epsteins-p...

“Ditch the pricks in 26!”

Missing PM update. Spotted this evening on Onetangi ((Waiheke) not back at work. I saluted him with a single finger and he responded with a thumbs up. Knob.

Waiting for the criticism of Luxon and Seymour for wearing religious garments in solidarity that Ardern recieved.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

We have just finished the annual dust and polish of our trophy cabinets and what a glorious job the cleaners have done.

From National using generative ai still images in 2023 to this. Can’t wait to see what Topham Guerin does next year.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.

Auckland. 1967. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Any budding kiwi Cassetteboys out there? Luxon has the tone, the material and the look to take on Slim Starmer.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

FFS. What a bullshit speech. Fuck Winston, fuck this government.

OUT NOW ON EXIT FROM AFFCO: a short history exploring why "prominent NZers" keep on ending up in court, including the birth of the colony, the institutional cover-ups across NZ history, and the new elite building bunkers in the south island www.exitfromaffco.com/p/heiress-ki...

That was a very compelling, reasoned and, yes, passionate argument. Brownlee excels in ineptitude and hypocrisy. But, more importantly, where the fuck were all the MPs, the house was practically empty on both sides of the house? Spineless or otherwise.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.
