We need to follow the US's enemies & start decoupling, not only from military systems, but removing our reliance on US social media. NZ should have the ability to completely shut down US fascist propaganda being broadcast to it's citizens the entire system is weaponised now & this is just the start

As expected, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's "Hannibal Directive" piece pissed off all the right people. Good news: you can watch the FULL 22-minute exposé on the Israeli military's secretive order that saw Israel kill its own civilians on October 7th on Zeteo's YouTube.

Today, Palestine can be seen & heard everywhere. And while public opinion has shifted, we still haven't seen this translate into a shift in policy. Three years into the Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Diana Buttu reflects on why the reality on the ground hasn’t changed. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/israel-is-...

National's manifesto could be issued as one sentence: 'Not now.' Supermarket break-up? Not now. Council amalgamation? Not now. Fuel tax? January 2027. ETS agriculture? 2030 at earliest. Pay equity claims? Not now, not ever. Vote for us and we'll do everything, eventually, if allowed. #nzpol

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

“Ruby Tui belted out Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi at Eden Park, and 40,000 fans sang with her. Four months later, Harry Styles sang the first line of the song at his concert in Auckland and the crowd sang the rest back to him. This was who we were. And this is what Jordan Williams set out to destroy.” #nzpol

you want to pay less tax? chances are the most *self interested* way to vote is NZ Greens

Right now, the richest pay $9 in tax for every $100 they make, while a teacher pays $22. The Greens would give 96% of earners an income tax cut, paid for not by cuts to public services, but ensuring the super wealthy pay their fair share.

Streisand Effect. Congrats, Robert Kraft and pro genocide supporters. You've just made Macklemore and his speech mentioning "Free Palestine" into a global issue, galvanizing the majority.

People need to understand that the NZ health system isn’t just being crashed, it’s being Americanised. That’s the endgame here. Insurance and capital-led, public services in squalor and subservient to private provision. Profit extraction at every possible point of exchange across the whole system.

how can RNZ justify these stories side by side & yet publish the ACT story as verbatim PR of their policy announcement without any critique, any opposition views, or EVEN any response from people in the health sector this is electioneering by a state broadcaster - no left party gets this privilege
