Serbia, Brazil, Albania (give it time) and hopefully Aotearoa NZ next month.

I hope Aotearoa and the Pacific boycott the 2030 World Weight Lifting championship. Who the fuck thought letting a country thats invading its neighbour was a great place to host an international competition? International Sports will always be political. Fuck Putin, Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

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

What a dick. Her only move in life is to punch down. Trans Lives Matter.

David Seymour ran cover for a monster. #nzpol

First you have to get over the embarrassment of a NZer being denied entry to Australia for being too racist. But then you can enjoy the fact that the guy who loves to go on about kicking out foreign criminals got kicked out as a foreign criminal.

This 'pick-me' cunt.

Fuck off, Israel. #freePalestine 🇵🇸 Israel joins Pacific Islands Forum as partner www.rnz.co.nz/news/pacific...

Young people are mobilising across Aotearoa, calling on their generation to enrol and vote in November’s general election.

Two ticks National No no… I mean you get two blood sucking Ticks with National. David Seymour 🪳 Winston Peters 🪳 #nzpol

Why is the Starship hospital story not the lead story on all our major news outlets??!! Absolutely shocking and appalling. Simeon Brown needs to resign #nzpol

Ripoi Anamata, Ripoi Inamata opened at Waikato Museum. So humbled to have my Kākahu alongside my gt gt grandmother Mere, gt grandmother Rangimarie, gt aunt Diggeress and my aunties. And my words were on the wall 😊

I saw this image and immediately read it as 'air-quotes DICKHEAD, close air-quotes' I have a masters in visual arts btw 🤣 #nzpol

No New Taxes = More Tax Free Money For BILLIONAIRES 🤑💸 Legit you’re paying for this tit. 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #TaxTheRich #ForAllOfUs

I've been assembling the full list of anti-environment policies of 3 years of the Luxon Govt. Here is the list of anti-freshwater policies, week by week. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

Replay: New Zealand was once a world leader on pay equity. Dame Marilyn Waring explains how the government wound back decades of progress – and why the fight to properly value women’s work is far from over. #nzpol

Feee Palestine

Has anyone mentioned to the National Party that their election campaign is making them look and sound like they're the opposition? They're making Chippy look very Kenobi. #nzpol

Looking through some old stuff and found this cartoon I cut out c1996. They just never really have new ideas, just new packaging. (For younger readers - right wing think tank the NZ Initiative formed out of a merger of the NZ Business Roundtable and the NZ Institute in 2012.)

Anyone who has picked up a camera to create a portrait, snapshot, posed, studio or at an event image, has documented the dead. Thats not a statement tied to the contemporary but a reference to the mauri of those we hold in our frames at any time in our lives. Alofa and respect 💙 #photography

No one is coming out of the brutality of these places rehabilitated, or set up for a life away from crime. #nzpol Abuse in state care continues. Young person taken to hospital after attack at youth justice facility www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Currently watching the coalition getting all feral and back stabby. Its glorious. #nzpol

The right’s “nO moRE taXeS” refrain is such bullshit. Tax is good! Tax is how we get all the good things that we all rely on. We just need to make tax fair. Tax capital gains, tax the rich. 🎨 @slanecartoon.bsky.social

Chris Penk knows fiction because that is where his claims/lies about abortion law reform sit. Chris Penk is not a journalist. He thinks Hager is not a journalist. He is incorrect. Chris Penk aligns himself with people who display a lack of moral integrity and operate in an underhand way. #nzpol

The TPU keep referring to Hager as a Left wing activist when he's previously been very critical of Labour re GM and the Corngate scandal, while the TPU are genuinely hard right wing activists. Words matter. #nzpol

More than 200 healthcare professionals at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital have signed a letter warning they are in a crisis, calling on Health New Zealand to prioritise patient and staff safety. Middlemore Hospital staff declare healthcare 'crisis' www.rnz.co.nz/news/indonz-... #nzpol

Lol. The sector that makes $1m in excess profits a day gets to regurgitate nonsense, obviously the reward for a big advertising budget with the media is your reckons don’t get fact checked. #nzpol

Did you know? David Seymour’s “Charter School” Class war scheme, is costing us 6 x more, than your own child’s public education. Did you know, and then did you vote for more of that? Ick. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #TaxTheRich #ForAllOfUs #NZ

Kyrie Irving says he will pay Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair’s fine for putting Hind Rajab’s name on his eye black

The child's name was Mohammed Al-Zeinati. He was 15, somehow we are expected to not speak out against the actions of those who see children as legitimate targets. He, with so many thousands of others deserved to live a life free of the horrors of war. May his soul find peace. #FreePalestine

The true death toll in Gaza may never be revealed but something tells me the numbers we have been seeing are very conservative. Shame on all of us, fuck Israel and free Palestine 🇵🇸

Not content with giving us leaky buildings, that cost people everything, the country billions, and is still a problem, National wants to do even more damage. “A big change coming to the building industry has raised fears a Grenfell Tower-type disaster could be in the making in NZ.” #nzpol

This week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week). The official theme for 2026 is Ake, Ake, Ake – A Forever Language, focusing on Te Reo Towns. Reporter Denise Piper speaks with Te Kamo High School prefect Charli McDonnell, who is helping lead her community’s celebrations. #nzpol

Found elsewhere, worth a share here. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

Not a drag queen.

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori has begun with an election promise from the Green Party to invest an additional $200 million in the language over four years.
