This is wonderful

It is worth watching the whole thing but I particularly loved the section on victims on crime from 12:05 when Marama gets really fired up. Truly a wahine toa 💚 #nzpol www.1news.co.nz/2026/10/27/w...

The man's a hero #nzpol "John, a few weeks off turning 82, said simply getting up to change a light bulb was a hazard these days and climbing a ladder as high as 8m scared him “shitless”. But he was adamant he would not involve anyone else."

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...

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

You can't cut your way to growth. The only thing austerity brings is more austerity. "Reducing debt" is National's white whale. #nzpol

RNZ have, if anything, increased their promotion of the views of the TPU and their subsidiaries since the publication of Nicky Hagers latest book. Shame on them #nzpol

someone in our whanau reached to us for help. Had to have all her teeth taken out (major infection etc). MSD lent money for extraction but will not lend for new false teeth until that paid off. (will take years to do that). The insanity of this shit. She has no assets, on a benefit. VOTE GREEN.💚

It was Ani o’brien who first posted the video of Orini et al with the gangs. Why did no news media mention this? Did anyone read Nicky Hager’s book? #nzpol

Don’t let ANYONE tell you you can’t vote! Cast a special vote NO MATTER WHAT. It will then be counted as a disallowed vote and we will be able to see how much this evil government cheated. #nzpol

Health privatisation well underway. #NzPol

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

Please can this happen. Please, please 🙏 💚 #nzpol

Watching this and thinking about my father and his father who both lost fingers in workplace accidents. It is why I support unions and will always vote for left wing parties

And, most importantly, thanks to the vital mobilisation of young people. Students took to the streets the day after the first round elections, kickstarting massive movements that saw the largest public demonstrations in Brazil since the days of Diretas Já at the end of the military dictatorship.

Brazil was of two huge election results today—alongside the defeat of the nationalist, authoritarian leader of Serbia: "the slate of candidates selected by protesting students had won at least 135 seats in Serbia’s 250-member legislature" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/w...

Phew!

Is this a sign? Please let it be a sign for our election #nzpol www.riotimesonline.com/lula-wins-ne...

I am still very nervous but it looks like Lula may have done it.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

The only advance voting place in my suburb has been shoved down the dark end of the mall and the only indication it is there is this tiny sign #nzpol

🧵Yesterday, British Columbia elected a Conservative majority government that ran on a platform of tax cuts and accelerating the pillaging of nature, or what the party calls “natural resources exploitation.” They also ran on attacking Indigenous sovereignty and trans rights.

It is the fault of the state that people cannot vote when they want to because we do not support them, it is the fault of society when we lead lies become truth, not the fault of the person who needs help or is feed those lies. Blame those who can make the change, not those who need it.

Voter suppression - it's the favourite tool of the right

I would genuinely be totally fine for men to be disenfranchised. The outcome of only women being allowed to vote would be an astronomically better world to the extent that it would totally outweigh the democratic outrage.

When political scientists first raised concerns about this new restriction last year we were told we were being ‘alarmist’ to suggest tilting the playing field unfairly like this by one party can undermine the legitimacy of the election out come for all Kiwis in a tight race I’m still ‘alarmed’…

Some idiot out there in Browns Bay in a homemade Orange Guy costume encouraging ppl to enrol before it closes tonight

Look, if all they had changed was just enrolling and voting on polling day that would have been one thing, but stopping enrolling TWO WEEKS before election day is outrageous and even previous Nats who stopped prisoners voting had not taken such an outrageous step We should be angry out loud! #NZPol

A gangly looking pūkeko chick out for a stroll at Western Springs this morning. 🪶🇳🇿

Enough said really. #nzpol
