My wife wanted to relax on the beach so I found something to do because I like to sit and relax too

“The Greens will protect women and girls from harm at home, at work, in the community, and online, and strive for gender equity in all areas and at all times.” Would love to see a government that focuses on this vs. reducing service levels in all of these spheres and introducing misogyny as policy.

OIA confirms hiring freeze that was denied at the time. #NzPol

Ministry commissions a report, conceals data from authors, dislikes the report’s findings, buries the report, gets busted, releases data, gets revised report saying the same shit, buries it again, makes crappy decision as if report never existed, gets busted again, proceeds with crappy decision.

NZ has - almost uniquely amongst our peers - tanked its economy and pushed 10,000s onto the dole (and offshore). We were told that this strategy would 'get interest rates down, tame inflation, and drive growth 🎉'. Yet, here we are, slumped and vying to be inflation champs. What went wrong? [🧵1/n]

In 2002, Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujurat and stoked so much bloodshed and violence against Muslims in the infamous riots that year, that he was banned from entering the UK, Europe & US for a decade - as essentially, a genocidaire.

I am begging for just one story where the cost of this policy is reported relative to the 2026 total budget. Try and find the fare subsidy on this graph, I'll wait.

Hey RNZ when you have finished chasing every conceivable edge case for this very cheap proposal, could spare some time to look at the massive $50+billion vast hole that is the govt’s transport policy?

#nzpol 🚨MEDIA RELEASE: Labour's public transport policy announced today is a worthwhile investment, one that benefits New Zealand now and in the future, says NZCTU President Sandra Grey:

We now know that within the Prime Ministers Office there was a political lobbying pathway operating via the PM's Chief Policy Advisor's private email. Fonterra says it was told to send the lobbying docs via this pathway. It may still be operating via other staffers private email addresses.

People will die because they did this.

Name your fav night in a film or tv show.

TOP showing up to the rally against job cuts, and getting heckled for association with ACT funders. Big cuck energy, big cuck energy how big is your voter base anyway - to the tune of Lambrini girls' 'big dick energy'

TOP bottoms for the ACT party

tough to overstate how quickly science funding in New Zealand has been blown to pieces - on Friday the NZ govt straight up disbanded the Marsden fund (our version of the NSF) it'll be replaced by a 'transition fund' with less money and zero information, as of yet, about what it will support #nzpol

seems bad (widely applicable)

Thanks Barret ur right 🌍

Supreme meme game from the Greens

Today, our Finance Minister pulled together a press conference to announce that there is no new support on the way for families, despite it costing $23 more than normal to fill an average petrol car & $36 more to fill a diesel car.
