The audacity to say this when C&R councillors voted AGAINST making voting in person... the hypocrisy and misinformation is off the charts!!

So VOTE if you haven't already, and tell your friends and family to vote if you have voted!

And vote for progressives who actually want to make things better!

Listen to Pepper. Last day today and tomorrow morning 💚

If Winston truly believes Chlöe is responsible for his broken window then logically it follows that he must be accepting personal responsibility for every single death threat made to Benjamin Doyle and their whanau.

Haha same! Suddenly I demanded, from my couch, that he should cease living in sin 😆

100%

Unemployment has increased by 50,000 since he’s been Prime Minister. That’s 50,000 families affected.

Luxon is just giving up his responsibility as Prime Minister for his citizens - to look tough against people who are trying their best.

Where are the jobs?

You rule Louise 💚

!!!!

I bet he has a wife who arranges all social engagements :(

Vaccinate your kids.

"Pedestrian seriously injured after being hit by car, Botany Rd in East Auckland closed." Screenshot of a news story in the NZ Herald from Monday 29 September 2025. The first line of the story reads: "A worker close to the site where a pedestrian was struck by a car in East Auckland said he heard a loud “bang” noise before a rush of sirens." This year, Botany Rd was one of over 1400 Auckland streets that had its speed limit raised by order of the current government, in this case, from 50km/h back up to 60km/h. In a move that runs counter to evidence and good practice, the government's new Speed Rule (authored by Simeon Brown and rolled out by Chris Bishop) *reversed* speed reductions implemented since 2020 on the spurious grounds that safer speeds impacted "productivity". The speed reductions were aimed at making roads safer for everyone using them, whether in a car or not. A quick search of "Botany Rd serious crash" explains why Botany was one of them. Today's crash seems to have happened along a stretch of Botany Rd that has shops and bus stops on both sides of the road, but the nearest signalised crossings are around half a kilometre away in either direction.

"Six hurt in SH1 crash near Taupō." Screenshot of a Radio NZ news story from Monday 29 September 2025. This stretch of State Highway 1 recently had its speed limit raised back up to 100kmh from 60kmh. The speed limit had been lowered due to a history of serious and fatal crashes along this key route. Many locals were appalled by the reversal, as the highway runs through popular and busy holiday towns. For context, see this story from June 2025, in which the Taupō District Council's deputy mayor describes it as "grossly inappropriate”. https://www.waikatotimes.co.nz/nz-news/360717092/holiday-communities-livid-about-speed-limit-reversals and this NZ Herald story https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/new-speed-rules-100kmh-through-a-lake-taupo-campground/G2VZI4VSJZCTLKP3K444D6H2VU/ which describes some of the worst crashes in this area. "Until 2020, the speed limit remained 100km/h. Between 2000 and August 2023, there were 284 crashes reported on the 10km stretch of road from Motutere to Hallets Bay. Nine were fatal and 22 others were serious."

"'Significant delays' afer stock truck rolls on SH5 Napier Taupō Road." Screenshot of a Radio NZ news story from Monday 29 September 2025. SH5 had its speed limit raised this year back up to 100km/h from 80km/h, as a priority of the current government. Speeds had been reduced to 80km/h due to the ongoing history of serious and fatal crashes on this highway, which is the only link between Napier and Taupō. The return to 100km/h sparked concern from road safety experts. For further context, see this story from February 2025: "An independent study released after the drop to 80km/h concluded the lower speed limit on Napier-Taupō Rd prevented 34 crashes in the first 12 months following its implementation. Crash data also showed there had been fewer crashes on Napier-Taupō Rd since the drop to 80km/h." https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/news/napier-taupo-rd-speed-limit-rise-to-100kmh-sparks-safety-debate/5QTIH2LPTFGAFAAOWTME3AD7IE/

Three major crashes today on roads where the current NZ govt *increased* the speed limit (previously lowered for safety reasons) in pursuit of "productivity"?

Serious injuries. Lengthy closures. Costly disruptions to lives, whānau, the transport network, our health system. This is not productive. 😞

Eyes open West Auckland

We were majorly worried about this when T was about 10 and first started using the internet, but as others have said, if you stay involved and open and talk lots, rolemodel pro-social behaviours and how to deal with your emotions etc, then they will be ok 🤞. But yes, a huge worry!!

Someone is going to have to pay to keep the country's finances in order, says Treasury, and since it obviously can't be landlords or tobacco companies or the wealthy, we're afraid it's going to have to be you.

Hm, I hope this is good news for West Auckland, it's a bit of a worry! @hendowest.bsky.social Do you know anything more about it? This is a Waitākere Council asset, isn't it?

Another reason to use public transport!!

I guess we should thank Donald Trump for making the relationship between fossil fuels and fascism explicit.

Vote Kyle Parker for Council, Albany Ward 💚

Great stuff here from Connor! In the room where it happens ...

This is important - in our Henderson-Massey areas, both PC 78 and PC 120 maintain the mixed urban and mixed suburban zones that have brought us the sausage flat proliferation. If we want to improve green spaces and community amenities in these areas, we have to find other levers.

The public health system is a sparkling social and medical achievement. A synthesis of universal human rights and science. Doctors and nurses are defending public health on behalf of all of us. I support them.

I think guns and SUVs cause autism. We should ban those.

Sad truth in this thread. How do we turn this around?

Similarly I was listening to an electricity expert on the radio who was outlining what is wrong with our electricity market - saying no political Parties have a plan WHEN WE VERY MUCH DO 💚

This is beautiful 💛

Happy birthday Molly! We declare this a high bluesky holiday 💚

I don't really care that they refused to mourn left-wing and liberal figures when they died, I'm not taking my moral cues from them, that's the whole point

We can, in fact, oppose ALL political violence, no matter the form, source, or reasoning.

Genocide (& supporting it) is bad.
Ethnic cleansing is bad.
Murdering people in a boat off Venezuela is bad.
Murdering people for Existing While Black is bad.
Shooting someone whose views are repellant is bad.
