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.

307,991 eligible voters not enrolled as of Friday. Almost half (43%) are 18-24. The least enrolled age group; now even more so than 2023. This govt KNEW this would happen—and did it anyway, with no mitigation plan. Such disdain for democracy, and for young people. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/election-...

@davidfarrier.com's first autopsy #webworm www.robincapper.net/davids-first...

Almost as if they were intentionally given an impossible task, and the government openly breached the Bill of Rights in order to suppress voter turn out This is coup shit, and media REALLY should have taken a MUCH stronger, consistent line on what the National coalition has done here

This

I might be shouting into the wind, but I'm doing it anyway. If you are eligible to vote in the upcoming New Zealand General Election, you must enrol by midnight 25th October. Just two days left! #NZPol

Here’s today’s Chorus. I’ve opened it up for all. National backers say Luxon would be rolled if he refused to deal with Opportunity; Erica Stanford (or Mark Mitchell) would then negotiate to be PM, if Willis & Bishop missed list seats, as expected #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/will-we-ha...

I went to the NZ embassy in Berlin to vote today (shout out to the friendly team there!) *Almost* got lost on the way back to where I’m staying. So if a directionally challenged person, who can’t speak German can find their way to the voting booth so can you #nzpol

If there were any justice in the world, every day would be #WorldWombatDay, but today is the official day to celebrate these glorious creatures that crush their enemies with their buttocks, dig burrows tens of metres long, constantly regrow their teeth, have babies called wombatlets, and poop cubes.

Minister of MAGA'fuckation

Shane Jones: people want to "stand up against this population replacement theory". NZ First's Rotorua candidate: "Replacement theory is happening here in New Zealand." The Christchurch gunman named his manifesto The Great Replacement, then killed 51 people. NZ First put Jones's line in an ad. #nzpol

The High Court has ruled regulations banning new prescriptions of puberty blockers for young people with gender dysphoria were unlawful.

Takes some neck to choose this way to apologise for completely fucking up the ferries

Nobody won that debate, especially Stuff/Paddy. A debacle #NZPOL

What screwing our electoral scrum looks like in real time.

Hero!

I’d take a “money bazooka” any day over the torture of babies suffering with cancer. Honestly WTAF is wrong with these people? (Predators) #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #TaxTheRich #ForAllOfUs #VoteGreenSaveAChild

Still reflecting on David Seymour’s comment when asked what his enormous political donors wanted: ‘to keep Labour out’ Lets think about that: A small NZ political party admits it’s taking donations to screw the playing field to stop a legitimate party being fairly elected That’s undemocratic

The National party are the only government to get crisis results and numbers from no fucking crisis. Shit as bad as the GFC with no crisis. Borrowing as much as Covid with no Covid #NZPol

"When we were going through the amendment to the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act ... we ended up with a proposal for these high protection areas, and then at the 11th hour ministers of this government had a backroom meeting and decided to create carve-outs.." Chlöe Swarbrick. #NzPol

Kiwis, check you're enrolled to vote today. If you are not enrolled by October 25th you don’t get to vote on election day www.robincapper.net/check-youre-...

Please let me scare you with stories about things Chloe isn't I want to stop you thinking about everything I am

When we 🤞 vote out this coalition in November, someone should write a book about the way a minor party can push its policies through when the Prime Minister is weak They can have this title for free ACTs of Cruelty

How was he gifted NZ citizenship?

Some fairly chilling predictions about how the response to Nicky Hager’s book will play out. Worth a read. www.klaut.media/single-post/... #nzpol #hagerbook #dirtypolitics

Fun fact. Canada's arts & culture gdp is basically the same as oil & gas at about $70 billion. Direct funding for the arts & culture is about $700 million annually albertaviews.ca/arts-publicl... It's up to $30 billion for oil & gas depending on how you count www.theenergymix.com/canada-pours...

Not late! We just launched yesterday and David first put the gate with the whole story on #webworm

Amazing what you find in the comment section…the disgraced & frankly dangerous NZTPU is all up in the new education curriculum’s grill, for “children to study” 🤔 Erica is sick of “ideological indoctrination” so she wheeled in her own extremely nefarious one instead…🙄🤦‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

Here is a list of the attacks on Māori and Te Tiriti from @emilywrites.co.nz #nzpol This is not a government that anyone can support at all. I was told recently that even John Key has been telling Nats to lay off on the Māori bashing. I hope it is true but ? www.emilywrites.co.nz/r/031a9de5?m...

“If the complaint letter and subsequent settlement do not exist, as Jordan Williams and David Farrar claim, then they will have no problem publicly waiving any and all rights they have to any claims of confidentiality, non-disclosure, or privilege, in relation to them,” Hager said.” #nzpol

#nickyhager #nzpol Keep talking about this e te whānau. Also an excellent interview youtu.be/Tip-dFuho-Q?...

Surely Paul Barlow will give us his Open Brief Debrief on the Hager book this Thursday 👀 #nzpol #BHN

“It is ironic, to say the least, that if Jordan Williams had not publicised the non-existent book, these inside sources would most likely never have contacted me and the book we are here to launch today would not have been written.”
