"Internal Affairs officer Ian Tingey grew suspicious when a well-spoken man with a North American accent rang asking if the process could be sped up, giving an unconvincing answer when questioned."

massive scoop from Nicky Hager: "Secret defence notes pointing to sensitive China preparation left at op shop" ... "Without any announcement, New Zealand is being integrated into a de facto Anglo military alliance that ties the country into a US/UK-led military build up."

Was it a stunt? Did it get leaked? The strange story behind the 'bipartisan' letter It was meant to be a plea for bipartisanship for a long-term oil and gas plan, but instead it’s left Chris Hipkins blasting the Prime Minister’s office, calling it a media stunt that flies in the face...

Best thing about this fuck-up by the PR cohort is we can now assume Ensor is a prime leak candidate for when National want a willing reporter to run PR & interference for them. Wild to get a glimpse of how NZ media are participants in these back channels

lmao "Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local laws" ... "A spokesperson for the spy agencies described the gift as "a challenge coin display stand" that included the 3D-printed inoperable weapon "as part of the design"."

certainly interesting to see national MP chris penk following a 6 day old account titled "Reform NZ", which started spewing out zionist propaganda around the time of peters’ speech, and is now shifting to bargain bin great replacement trite

it’s kinda shocking there’s no NZ hidden camera prank show on real estate agents running open homes. 30 people showing up to start a house party. bank robbers running through and into the backyard. removing all the screws out of the furniture. the schadenfreude the nation needs

global north states are now reaching unprecedented levels of capture by capital, and now have to make the choice between actually taxing wealth more effectively or pulling the plug on the whole party. i wonder which one they're going to pick?

Just last year NZ’s military was training alongside Israel, and here’s a valuable look at the ghastly legacy of NZ’s Mounted Rifles Brigade in Palestine during and after WWI
(the brigade consisted of some regiments with a history of subjugating Māori in the 19th Century)

Exactly.

Did you know that Winston Peters enabled the Springbok Tour to go ahead as he worked against a NZ judge that tried to stop the springbok tour from going ahead, using parliamentary privilege to attack him #nzpol

It even extends here to Aotearoa, during a visit to Cuba members of Ngā Tamatoa Donna Awatere Huata and Ripeka Evans met with members of the Palestinian Liberation Front, and they inspired them to start the militant 1981 Springbok Tour protest to oppose apartheid in South Africa. Nelson Mandela said

Glenn Inwood, a pro-whaling and tobacco PR person, ran Resistance Kiwi. On his website, he promoted "freedom" candidates looking to "refresh local democracy." One of those candidates was Ray Chung. In late September, a new voting guide popped up, also supporting Chung, called Better Wellington.

"Gaza City was actually bombed 3 separate times by British forces in 1917, including the use of chemical weapons during the Second Battle of Gaza. The below photo shows New Zealand soldiers donning gas masks, captioned β€œGaza Beauty Show”. 4,000 gas shells were fired into the city."

peters says recognising palestine would embolden hamas, which funnily enough didn't apply to inviting myanmar's military junta to NZ-hosted ASEAN summits in 2024 after they'd been informally blocked from attending since they seized power
