Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Totally not of this government's making... #nzpol

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

I once knew a guy who gave really long-winded speeches, but at least he had a commanding mastery of the basic facts. #SOTU

"Can't have accountability in an election year if we don't publish quarterly plans, eh?"

Having an ACT mp as minister of workplace relations obviously sets the norms for ministerial appointments in such a way as to necessitate a green mp as minister of agriculture.

I'm just saying the left needs to follow the right's lead on this stuff

As a brown person with a non kiwi accent who was born here I would like to know how these people know who a “suspected overstayer” is. The constant Americanisation of this country is so annoying and gross. Why doesn’t Luxon just go back there if he loves it so much. Bro go back to Chicago.

Cartoon. Title: “All Business” Three frames. Police Minister Mark Mitchell, wearing a headset, and sitting at a computer, answering calls to an Emergency Services phone line. In the first frame he’s looking slightly bored, saying. “Emergency, which service do you require? Police, fire or ambulance?” Then he says, “Police?” 2nd frame he’s looking up ands saying, “Someone who has mental health problems? No, sorry, the police no longer respond to mental health call-outs” 3rd frame, looking considerably more lively, he’s saying, “Cluttering up a business’ doorway??!! Well, that puts a different complexion on it!”

All Business. The government’s new focus on a the homeless, beggars, and street people. “Move on” orders, fines and prison sentences. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Homes #Homeless #Poverty #prison #MentalHealth #Police

Under no circumstances do you gotta a support a govt that gave $3 billion to landlords and then do this. Talking about “double dipping” when most people in this situation are barely surviving. I hope 0 Labour Party canvassers show up at my door this year because I’ve just about had it with them.

"I sit illegitimately in this stolen SCOTUS seat & also voted to make this One Special Boy a Mad King. Please clap as I pretend to care about the Constitution & the separation of powers."

Don't credit this sentimental nonsense. Trump was fucking with the money; the Roberts Court has always voted to protect the money

The real news is that there's 3 votes for autonomously funded dictatorship of the sort Charles I lost his head for pursuing & that triggered the English Civil War

NZ First and Act now in open competition using Māori as election pawns

Opinion: NZ First seeks to make English an 'official language'; David Seymour says he hasn't given up on the Treaty Principles Bill. Both are disgraceful politicking, writes Lianne Dalziel.

The many knives in Chris Bishop’s back OPINION: The Housing Minister’s latest backdown may not be the last. His experience will turn off other politicians keen to take a punt on our knottiest issues.

He took a punt this term trying to build political space for a shocking amount of new housing, for the notion that it might win the political right voters who aren’t already wealthy and sorted, even if it hurt them with those that were. @henrycooke.bsky.social

A headline in Far Out Magazine that says: "Wendel: How Steely Dan invented a drum machine"

"Is there a technology that the left is excited about???"

Hahaha no golden mile so we can do the mt vic tunnel and old mate little fell for that shit and paused golden mile only for the govt to go actually no fucken tunnel either lol

Can't believe we have a Speaker that is somehow worse than Trevor Mallard....

Labour MP ejected from House after 'trifling' over Peters' remark Kieran McAnulty ordered out after challenging Speaker Gerry Brownlee's decisions on comments made by Winston Peters.

Once again the Speaker beclowns the dignity of Parliament by treating a factual reflection on an outright lie by a senior minister as a greater crime than the outright lie that he lets stand

Brownlee is a disgrace in the one job he might have excelled

Government expected to make announcement on Auckland housing plan U-turn The Housing Minister has had to grapple with a process which he says is "legally complicated".

Jamming 3-story terraced houses in west Auckland despite lack of infrastructure: “democracy”

Listening to a couple of nimbys in Epsom not wanting terraced houses: also “democracy”

www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Bishop backs down on housing, Seymour says Auckland isn’t ‘Sim City’ Resource Management Minister Chris Bishop is set to announce a backdown on Auckland housing intensification legislation.

When they say 'suburbs' you can guess which ones they are actually wanting to protect from intensification. #NzPol

Maybe Brownlee should DO HIS FUCKING JOB, or are his ears so full of undeclared property he cant hear?

as for winston, the vile, racist old fossil; retire. immediately.

and for anyone that votes for him, his stank is all over you. racists, cookers, all.

Still valid..from Devonport to Ōtepoti

If I were a member of parliament I’d introduce a member’s bill saying that Winston Peters can’t keep introducing, removing, and reintroducing members bill’s like they’re trashy soap opera characters

"Stop paying off your mortgages and start buying luxury goods, plebs!"

If he’d actually seriously taken on the recession, there wouldn’t have been a Trump. One day, we may finally be able to have that conversation. But almost no one is ready for that & probably won’t be for a generation:

Ah, jeez. So, RBNZ reckon we might get the unemployment rate down to the mid 4s at some point in fking 2028? That means unemployment levels for young people and others that face barriers to the labour market remaining sky high. Great work. If only the economy was something Govt could influence [2/n]
