Oh she's been straight up racist this entire time. Don't forget the email incident from earlier in the year.

Yep. Anything by that racist rag especially about māori is meant to add fuel.

To me, they are firmly left and more left than the current government or Labour.

Eventually the truth will come out about the shitheap that is the education changes and I think this is a good start. Just need that OIA or further proof.

I was saying the same thing earlier. If Labour isn't left enough for you then you have the Greens or TPM, both of which are firmly left.

Don't forget to go through their followers too and block them. I found a few of my followers but bye bye. No time for anyone who follows cookers.

Its all good haha. I literally went and did the math cause that would be heartbreaking if those thugs managed to wrestle so much control. Hopefully they fuck up so badly it's only one term.

It's 11.5% thank fuck. Much lower but no less a high result which is annoying.

They won 23% of the races they were part of.

Your regular reminder that unions represent PEOPLE. They are simply the voice of the PEOPLE they represent.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Attack them and you’re attacking the people they represent.
It’s pretty simple.

TPM's National Council have described the shenanigans in detail, members have been emailed the documents, it's up to MSM to report on it in equal detail now

Cartoon. Title: β€œSide Board” Image shows PM Christopher Luxon at night, in his lounge. He’s being furtive, putting the Energy Report away in a sideboard draw. His wife Amanda has interrupted him, saying, β€œWhat are you doing, Christopher?” He answers, β€œNothing”

The govt says it has a plan to combat high power prices, but their plan could do the opposite, report warns. They have rejected most of the energy report’s recommendations.

Virtually all NZ based experts who work with AI or have work that is threatened by AI have now signed our open letter calling on Parliament to regulate it. We shouldn't have to wait for an election, given the speed of dev & the harm already threatening people & jobs. #nzpol

FYI I’ll be on TVNZ Breakfast from 7:05am to talk about the age of eligibility for NZ Super. I say don't extend it. It’s not fair on manual workers, Maori, Pasifika, the disabled & those in 30s/40s without the unearned wealth those in 60s/70s are now sitting on. Land tax/wealth tax better. #nzpol

Cheers. Went through the comments and found few others to block too that had equally concerning comments and hatred.

Environment minister accused of using position to influence council's legal process Penny Simmonds says it is "wholly appropriate" to engage with the primary sector.

So National MP Chris Bishop wrote to Penny Simmonds to push the Environment Minister to intervene in local councils for the benefit of National MP Suze Redmayne's private farm.

National Party say this is all cool and above board for them. #nzpol #kiwi

You are too right on that. Winston doesn't give a shit so long as he gets a nibble of power and maintains his kingmaker status.

And this is why I have zero faith in the next election.

Labour are playing fucking chicken with society’s collapse.

That's exactly what may happen. NZ1 has been one of the only parties to increase in support consistently and Winston will work with a turd if it let him have some power.

So just like that time National made more of our rivers swimmable by allowing dirtier rivers to be classed as safe, their plan to make Nelson hospital not be earthquake prone is just to change the definition rather than build us a new hospital?

Pretty much. May as well be an ACT MP.

Electoral Amendment Bill: Submitters want fewer restrictions, more sausages The government's Electoral Amendment Bill has faced a deluge of criticism as submissions were heard at Parliament on Thursday.

The most obvious explanation is once again proven true: barring enrolments during advance voting was purely a pretext to deny franchise to a group of people who vote mostly against govt parties, so as to avoid the govt losing seats between election-night & final counts www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Rawiri Waititi refuses to speak to journalists in English during Te Wiki o te reo Māori Other political parties have weighed in, with one saying it was creating an "exclusive bunch" of Māori.

It's not Rawiri's fault we can't all speak Te Reo Māori.

I'd have written that in Te Reo, but I don't know it.

Wonder whose fault that is? Mine for not having learnt it properly as an adult, or the governments for me not learning it properly as a child?

Also subtitles exist man, shut up.
