$671 million on no ferries. How about using that as a headline about financial recklessness, eh?

This is unforgiveable incompetence: NZ has spent $671m to get no ferries, rather than $551m to get new ferries that would be arriving within months to replace clapped-out ferries. This sort of mismanagement should bring down a government; amazingly, it's not even the worst example of their failings

Come to Aotearoa New Zealand. Our prime minister badly needs someone to fit his suits for him! The rest of us probably need fashion advice too. We really like wearing lots & lots of black.

The govt's third constitutional outrage this week: the secret Equal Pay Act rug-pull, blocking the CTU and other civil society groups from the Budget lockup, now the unprecedented decision to bar democratically-elected Māori leadership from the same Budget

What we’re seeing from this govt goes beyond austerity, this is deliberate ideological violence dressed up as fiscal discipline. Its not about balancing books it’s about rebalancing power away from te tiriti, equity & the most marginalised toward the privileged,white, able-bodied majority #oneterm

Why say "sorry I'm late the buses were a mess" when you could say "successive governments have failed to appropriately invest in public transport, letting us all down"

Wgtn Film Soc screened Patu! last night. It was a full house & a completely engaged audience. Stunning film, but also brought home to me how much we are fighting the same πŸ‘ oldπŸ‘ shitπŸ‘ in 2025 as in 1981. Fat cats in fur coats capitalizing on racism & greed. We never seem to learn. #OnlyTwatsVoteNats

Imagine how angry Christopher Luxon must get every time someone tells him something, or he accidentally reads a news article, and can no longer claim to be unaware of some significant things he should take action, or have an opinion, on.

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

Inflation β€˜back under control’ despite rising for the first time in three years, Willis says Finance Minister Nicola Willis reacts as the annual inflation rate rises for the first time since the June 2022 quarter.

Anyone remember ol' Luxon telling renters to be grateful for landlord tax writeoffs as they'd bring down rents? Doesn't seem to be working does it? And still no accountability from the govt for this.

Why am I supposed to care about Air NZ's new uniforms? Why is it treated as a massive cultural event when they're unveiled? I don't give a shit what a corporation that overcharges for domestic travel wears.
