National Party has only hired 54 additional nurses in 2 years - public health system buckles while hundreds of millions diverted to private providers. Simeon Brown lies that National hired thousands of nurses #nzpol #kiwi #newzealand

I apologise to Opportunity. The below should read Citizens Assembly format, not referendum. My apologies but stand by my other comments - year is 2040 "So Qiulae Wong and TOP would look to bring Te Tiriti to a citizens' assembly with a deadline, ultimately it's David Seymour's wet dream #NZPOL"

81 year old scaled an 8m ladder to fix National's disinformation. Luxon was asked what were the 9 taxes from Labour, he could only name one (CGT) The 81 year old now faces police charges

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

rnz.co.nzPrivate sector gets 80% of increase in public health funding, unions' report findsEighty percent of the increase in public health funding from the government over the past three years has gone to the private sector, according to a new report.

National hasn’t been challenged about asset sales at all during this campaign. If you only tune into politics once every 3 yrs for a couple of debates to make your decision / you wouldn’t know

Henry Cooke and others just reposted this graph showing the right's overhang strategy could work - but more modeled on voters' preferences and voting loyalty The right see a path to not need TOP The left can get upset y if you point out why strategy matters in an election as close as this, but...

I see why they got rid of Maiki Sherman, she actually gave context. Luxon and National said a 2026 election win was a mandate for privatisation but they've gone all quiet on the topic this year #NZPOL

National tanked the economy but blame it all on "oil". The difference to Labour (if we accept the prima facie premise that all debt is bad, which is false) is that Labour ran surpluses until #COVID19 hit & spent to save lives and preserve jobs. National tanked the economy from the start #Kiwi #NZ

For the moderate person, they are active in politics only one day every three years, and the rest of the time between they live their lives and don't think much of it other than maybe the odd news article or social media post. This is why it's so important to make it easy to enroll and vote.

This is why National don't want Uni students voting 130,000 18-24 year olds still not enrolled today as deadline looms and most are focused on exams/assessments #NZPOL

t's funny how John Key funded the first gang rehabilitation programmes in New Zealand but because Ardern continued it, it has now become political kryptonite.

We already know Luxon was told November 7 was "challenging" and a "Unversity exam day" and cutting off enrolment 13 days early would hurt their ability to vote. #NZPOL

More National MPs seen in photos with gang members #NZ media better pick this up fast, because clearly that matters more than doubling of crime profits, surging gang membership under Nat. How about the 25 year high youth unemployment, or 11 year business failure high? Kids with cancer anyone?

Someone asked me today if Luxon has ever sacked a Minister. No, you can call hard working Kiwis "losers" call other MPs "stupid bitches", hide your 25 rentals from disclosure, sprout racism and lies, obstruct OIAs, and all you will get is warm praise from Prime Minister Luxon.

This is why Luxon wouldn't go on Q&A with Jack Tame anymore #NZ #Kiwi Worst economic downturn in modern history with a direct line to National's policies

I despair at how few people are aware of the Opportunity Party approach - they don't care who has the largest bloc or best policies, they will try to form govt with who has the highest # of seats and on current polls, that's National

When Opportunity Party candidate, Paull, and their Secretary, lied, the media ignored it. When David Seymour lied on camera, they brushed it off. When Luxon lied on live TV, it's hidden under non descript headlines. But photo with relatives is presented as crime for prosecution

Mainstream media in Aotearoa are the enablers of our corrupt government. This is not journalism. This is not newsworthy. The journalists are gatekeepers to truth and willing participants of propaganda. Integrity demands honesty. Just word whores. Useless. Sold.

If you don't enrol to vote by this Sunday you won't be allowed to vote this year. If you need to change address, it has to be done by October 25 too Mad pic by Yeehawboys

@publicaddress.bsky.social My man I saw your article from yesterday. I've personally never said anything about the Mum connection other than addressing it BUT what I can say is the lies and tactics of the Party are very odd. They have MP candidates attacking people & when called out the Party Sec

denies it was anyone important calling him just some "volunteer" who "accidentally" put the authorisation sign on. Today I get more news about another party member lying outright. Then we have their Board members attacking Brie Ellit and getting he page taken down. There's something very off FWIW

NZ Super Fund yielded $9.3b for Kiwis last year. It's world class surpassing Singapore. The NZ Future Fund is one of Labour's core #Election2026 policies. And it was former PM Helen Clark & Sir Cullen that set up both NZ Super & Kiwisaver. Seymour wants NZ Super fund stopped. #NZPOL

Starship Hospital in #Auckland #NZ has pushed out many cancer treatments for children because of the "worst" nursing shortage they've ever had. Here's why

Who wins when #NZ Healthcare is privatised? 54 FTE nurses have been hired this term while thousands hired under Labour. Simeon transferred hundreds of millions from public to private healthcare. And froze doctor hires for over a year. 1News: All governments at fault. Why ignore cause & effect?

I am Brie Elliot has been hacked, within hours of going up against Opportunity Party's Board. Elliot has #critiqued Nat, Lab, Greens & has never seen as much bot s as with Opportunity. Taxpayers Union would be proud. How is TOP doing this? Crypto connections should be explored #NZPOL #kiwi

I an not surprised !? Opportunity's toxic culture #NZPOL

Mountain Tui@mountaintui.bsky.social

Let's be clear here: It is not conspiratorial to point out Opportunity MP candidate Derrick, Paull attacked @drhsinghnz.bsky.social & when it's discovered he's affiliated to OPP, Opportunity's Secretary claimis Paull is just a "volunteer". Bbizarre that the Party lies & then attacks others #NZPOL
