Lifelong Labour voter here but their fence-sitting’s worn thin. Greens are the only ones speaking to my values, so they’ve earned my vote in @nzelection2026.

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?

Amazon gives up building its own Auckland data centre, as power prices soar Opinion: Tech giant Amazon's NZ boss makes one of the clumsiest and most embarrassing attempts in a long time to spin good news out of a fiasco, writes Jonathan Milne

Amazon’s β€œnew” Auckland datacentre is pure PR theatre. No build, no jobs, just recycled hypeβ€”and Luxon swallowed it whole.

What horrifies more is the UK government’s complicity with Israel.

Arms, silence, and spin while Gaza bleeds.

Shame on you.

Israel’s strike on Nasser Hospital killed medics, journalists and rescuers.

This wasn’t collateral, it was deliberate.

Jamie Beaton: Why education needs competition and pressure | Q+A 2025
YouTube video by Q+A with Jack Tame Jamie Beaton: Why education needs competition and pressure | Q+A 2025

Why is TVNZ giving airtime to Jamie Beaton of Crimson Education as an "education expert"?

His education expertise focuses on helping a select few young NZers get into US Ivy League universities. He's not a teacher and has no knowledge about how children learn.

In a bout of masochism I listened to Luxon on Morning Report πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« At the end he spun the line that we will grow wages by growing the economy. We've been trying this since the 80's. Even when the economy has grown, wages have not kept up. It's a failed concept that needs to go in the bin. #nzpol

The NZ govt’s Electoral Amendment Bill risks disenfranchising 100,000+ voters, mostly young, Māori & Pacific peoples

This is a direct threat to democratic fairness.

Gaza will be remembered as the first Genocide that was live streamed and everybody knew about.

And they didn't even stop sending the bombs to carry it out.

Remember when this tosser was praising Rovers' women's team and even came over to shake Nathan's hand when they were warming up before playing FGR at the Mem. All a sham, all for show, just like the rest of his shite while he was there. A weak, weak man.

According to Stuff, we should be grateful Fonterra even supplies NZ, apparently they’d earn more exporting.

Meanwhile, their CEO takes home $6M a year.

Gotta love capitalism, right?

Fonterra have literally said that they have no social responsibility to New Zealand, so imho NZ has no responsibility to give them another cent.
Here’s a list of Fonterra brands to boycott.

* Anchor

* Fresh & Fruity

* Kapiti

* Mainland

* Mammoth

* Perfect Italiano

Fuck em.

Would all those, on the Right and Left, who were so enraged by Bob Vylan at Galastobury care to weigh in with the same level of vociferousness on this?
Yvette Cooper - perhaps we'll see the Orange Order being proscribed with the same speed as Palestine Action?

Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR
YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.
