Let’s be honest. Tax cuts mean less money for health, education, social services, housing, roads, rail, and infrastructure. #nzpol

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Voted this afternoon for a party that will honour Te Tiriti, protect the planet and our collective future, and do everything to stop the genocide #freepalestine Vote out the three-headed hydra of hate and all the shitfuckery they have delivered. #kikorangi #onetermgovernment #nzpol #taxtherich

💯 So much commentary in the media right now about vote suppression… This is our issue to keep in the news cycle (make it louder than the reactionary gang panic…) If Labour were smart (dubious) they’d make a huge policy announcement on it right now, and ride it all the way to victory ✌️ #nzpol

This would be a perfect time to fucken go for gold. Restore same day enrolments. Restore the ability to have Kai near voting stations. Restore prisoner votes. Allow youth voting. Let's go hundy for accessibility. We ain't got time for mediocre center politics.

Paul_BarlowNZ@paulbarlownz.bsky.social

Yes. On October 1 Hipkins posted on his Facebook page that Labour will restore same day enrolments if elected.

Gosh Marama is such a solid candidate. She manages to keep her cool (just) but you can absolutely feel the glowing heat of her passion summering beneath those comments about the Greens ACTUALLY fighting for victims of crime. She is rightly furious about National cutting violence prevention.

Half a million West Bank invaders, nearly all white Jewish, are entitled to vote in tomorrow's election, while the 3.5 million Palestinians residents there, nearly all Arab, are not. This is exactly, definitionally, apartheid.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

If the IDF said "NO" to an order given by Netanyahu, then it had to be really, really bad, considering they have already said "YES" to genocide.

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

Cas Mudde@casmudde.bsky.social

Brazilian media report on a dubious lack of public busses on voting day. This already happened in the last presidential election and seems an attempt by pro-Bolsonaro forces to keep Lula voters from voting.

The fact that the EC will report on both results is huge #nzpol This has the potential to spread a lot of anger, especially if the result is close. We could get our own French riots — a shot at revolution is a far far better outcome than just a change of rulers (“the joy of fools”) #neoliberalism

You know what would be a really funny result this election? National coalition: 47% Labour coalition: 46.5% TOP: 5.1% But then TOP reasons that due to the changes in enrolment locking out people who would normally vote left, they choose to first preference Labour. I could see it happening #nzpol

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

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

I don’t know if you will have noticed this. In the midst of an absolute crisis in every level of our health system, the Green Party announced a policy to massively boost funding to Health with a $30Bn investment over four years.

Damn right

Forget the theory that Qiulae Wong is a hard-right stalking horse - it’s becoming pretty obvious that Chris Hipkins is already filling the role #nzpol

A veteran social worker once described Aotearoa's gangs to me as "organised poverty", & said working in rural communities meant working with them. The more poverty we have, the stronger gangs will get & the more this government will demonise them. Hipkins is, to put it politely, a naive fool. #nzpol

rnz.co.nzLabour candidate Kerrin Leoni resigns over gang campaigningLabour's Tāmaki Makaurau candidate Kerrin Leoni has resigned after a video emerged of her campaigning alongside Mongrel Mob members.

Is it too late for Hipkins to resign in fucking disgrace over this entirely predictable shambles? He handed a gift straight to the coalition with his disasterous reactionary handling of this. This isn’t good leadership. It’s cowardice #nzpol

There’s no chance in hell that Nicola Willis agrees to debate Chlöe Swarbrick because they’ll never allow their absence of a real plan or any expertise to be exposed so publicly. Clever way to paint her a coward. Whole National election campaign just relies on slandering other parties. #nzpol

Surprise surprise Chris Hipkins decision to throw Te Pati Maori and the Greens under the bus for engaging with marginalised communities to appeal to centrist pearl clutchers is now blowing up in his face. Rare misstep #nzpol

Aotearoa MUST ABANDON AND WITHDRAW from PIF. Winston has a problem with China supporting infrastructure in the Cooks but no fukn problem with a genocide state. Anything Luxon supports is to benefit the US. Israeli soldiers in Aotearoa is a fukn indictment on our current values. GET THEM OUT!!

Seymour is a guy who has adopted the mantle of Libertarian thought leader as a necessary disguise to cover his basic shallowness and every time he tries to do public philosophy it ends up showing his arse cause he’s fundamentally just a stupid right wing prick.

Huge win for the community, and another Big Lose for the bigots in this disgusting government. THANK YOU PATHA 💖🤍💙 #nzpol
