Nicola Willis - "borrowed more to do less".That's a political obituary.
My reckons? Publicly-funded news/current affairs media, such as Radio NZ, shouldn't be chasing popularity and listener numbers, they should be focused upon providing solid news and quality information. That can include the arts, international events, politics, etc and be more relevant than ZB.
My cat been modelling in secret? #Ragdoll #Cats
as an outsider Auckland is SO hostile to get around! The lack of modern fast public transport is such a turn off - the traffic is hideous and being forced into it is annoying .
They're spending $16 million setting up the company to get the replacement ferries for the ones they spent $222 million on for no ferries. Yes, it was $144 mill for the break fee, but $222 in total for No Ferries. Oh, also it's looking at privatisation. Great. archive.is/oPVCO
it’s ok i went and found your earlier stuff. Bugger
wait what have i missed? I bloody love mediawatch!!
Good work Greenpeace uncovering this muck. #nzpol
heard from New Zealand and was astonished at this bullshit!
I remember, what, fifteen years ago the issue of pumping fucking heaps of fertilizer and growth shit into paddocks was cited as making waterways unswimmable and water undrinkable by the Greens and this was dismissed as alarmist radical left nonsense WELL GUESS WHAT MOTHERFUCKERS
Oh wow Beck - it’s a big deal losing a dad xx hope the memories comfort you
When I get told to spend my money by the Minister of Finance who wasted $600m on nothing
yes THIS! god he’s so awful!!
How is David Seymour getting to alter the foundations of Kiwi law, legislation, race relations and government when 92% of the country thinks he’s a lying prick, and the stitched-together three-way coalition barely won??? #nzpol
Fonterra sells Mainland, Anchor brands to French food giant Well this sucks - kiwi brands sold to France FFS who is this country anymore?
you talking to me? I absolutely trust the experts - in all things. Nicola has NO qualifications in economics, nor any experience working in accounting or anything related. Who is the drunk in the corner bar? Winston? no i don’t trust him either
The absolute NERVE of bloody #NicolaWillis asserting she’s just a politician and we should listen to the economists and the data! WTF #NickyNoBoats!!! YOU have never listened to the bloody economists! You’ve ignored the data! You’ve ploughed on in defiance of all the warnings - just STFU now #nzpol
New Zealand lost its AA+ rating under Key, and regained it under Ardern. If political journalists were willing to include that sort of context it would be much harder for Nicky No-boats to lecture the left on fiscal responsibility. #nzpol
"Nicola Willis's Debt Higher Than All 6 Years of Ardern Government” - but it’s been spent on the richest, & stolen from the poorest NZers #nzpol thestandard.org.nz/nicola-willi...
Jacinda would have been invited to speak 😐#NzPol
National Standards wrecked the curriculum and a generation of young people’s education - National are as shit at Edication as they are everything else #nzpol
Have we ever had another prime minster who was so fundamentally disinterested in doing their job? Luxon's clearly in it for the junkets and nothing else.
chris luxon thinks it’s not about the polls - but it is about fixing the economy. Both ways it’s a “no”, mate #nzpol
Just a little fun, eh?
I’ll take exactly what we did, thanks - human lives matter #nzpol
anyone else remember when a NZ politician sent a text to cancel a major procurement and cost the country $600 million? is there any other time in NZ history when an MP would've *got away with that*?
Holly shit in the final wash-up the National led coalition govt threw away $671m scrapping the InterIslander Ferry project that was due to start operating next year. Economic fucking criminals. Clueless beyond reproach. #GeneralStrike #SnapElection www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
have just learnt Gerry Brownlee failed UE twice and is single and it’s made my day! Fully explains his irrational fear and suspicion of an intelligent woman #nzpol
My reckons. There is something desperately wrong with any system which condemns mildly critical language addressed towards privileged power holders, but is utterly silent on the intentional starvation of children. #nzpol
National PArty / ACT $5 million boot camp result is worse than it looks. 1 died. Of those left, 88% re-offended, and 45% are in jail. This is what Luxon and Karen Chhour claim is a "success". Worse, Luxon was told this would entrench and harden crime. National just don't care. #nzpol #kiwi
Were they actually called “Kewpie dolls” or just in my family? My mum didn’t like them and/or I never won one - much to my sadness. Love a bit of nylon frill and tat
YES THIS!
He's an angry little man
It’s better to be hated… ? Brutal www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607...
Chlöe will be our greatest ever PM
This whole "hur hur hur it was just a joke" shtick from male right wing politicians when they called out for attacking left wing women is getting very tediously tiresome
So Ani O'Brien led the anti-Maori ward campaign for Jordan Williams / Hobsons Pledge then tried to steer people off course from her using a photo that was disallowed for ad/promotion purposes #nzpol
Love the new billboards, Don.
thanks Foxy - bloody hell that’s a great summation. It’s so upsetting - for many of us here on the coal face it’s not a freaking game. The plundering and slashing is so hurtful
I HATE THIS
One day after Crimson Education's Beaton appears on Q&A to denounce NCEA, Erica Stanford announces she is cancelling it, ignoring expert advice. The next day John Key, business partner to Beaton, flog off their new course How flaming corrupt are the National Party? #nzpol #nzpolitics Scoop: RENL
how the HELL is Shane Effing Jones the Minister of Oceans and fisheries?! Christ he’s an abomination 🤬 #Jones #Fisheries #nzpol
Every country has its big lie moment. This was the right's - the economy. National inherited a AA+/AAA credit economy, one of the lowest OECD debt to GDP ratios, “better than expected” finances & positive growth expectations. Importantly Treasury always forecasted inflation drops & no recession.
and all the rainwater tips straight into your place…
Worth noting this is not a "research paper": it's an unpublished, un-peer-reviewed university research project—essentially a 10K word essay—on liberal economics written for a Master's degree in political science. No actual conservation biologists involved. The author is now a policy advisor for ACT.
Oh my goodness the vox pop at the end is quite fun! I was expecting more wishy-washiness but: we hate him, we really hate him! @foxylustygrover.bsky.social
I have no expertise in tikanga, but I’d hazard a guess that if ‘Aotearoa’ has no authority in the Māori world, then ‘New Zealand’ has even less. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
Um Whiskeytits, "unelected bureaucrats, officials, government departments, and politicians" are actually "the people of our country" too. If you think using Aotearoa risks us losing trade and whatever bullshit you're drunkenly spewing...then do a better fucking job as foreign minister. #nzpol
SHANE JONES BE THE FUCK GONE! Never forget he wanked on the public dime. What a piece of shit - shuffle off you’re NOT our future and you’re everything wrong with our past #Jones #NzFirst
This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.
what an absolute cock
The $300m tax break Luxon is giving to Philip Morris tobacco is almost matched by the $200m subsidy to fossil fuel companies for exploration. They sure have a strong affinity for companies trying to make money out of killing people.
My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... Finally! We've all been waiting for this very serious and life changing announcement. You knows it and I knows it... #NzPol #BrookeVanVelden #Passport #Cartoon #Caricature #Politics #Announcement
i have his cell phone number and it’s taking ALL my resolve not to fucking do something with it
It’s interesting how much Luxon stands by the coalition agreement between National, NZ First and Act given it isn’t legally binding. Must mean he agrees with the content of it - dumb arse that he is.
that’s bloody impressive!
your daily reminder that #Seymour and #Act also covered up for perverts / root them out and vote them out
we are SO EFFING LUCKY to have butter from our super-lucky happy cows in godzone 🤬
OMG we just watched the #Southpark #Trump episode - absolute perfection, genius, hilarious - dammit i needed that laugh! Give those guys an Oscar ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
so #democracy is only for the rich. Not those struggling, juggling multiple jobs or with insecure housing. #seymour is a wanker. Voting is a RIGHT for everyone (except prisoners, poor people, young people, transient people etc under this lot)
God bless South Park!
farmers doing nothing about climate change and continuing to directly cause it are creaming it by contributing to the worldwide shortages caused by climate change events! WE PAY in every way! They’re not “feeding the world” they’re lining their pockets. Time to #DitchDairy #Fonterra
what a bloody lame little piece of performative bullshit!
thestandard.org.nz/nicola-willi...
we were told “now is not the time to hassle farmers about the environment; farmers are doing it tough” Farmers arn’t doing it tough now- can we talk about the bloody environment now? or are we gonna keep rewarding them for leaching nitrates, creaming it, and only trickling down shit? #NZPol #farms
he’s SO HORRIFIC! it’s like there’s something seriously WRONG with him where he just keeps effing going and going and saying more and more stuff that winds me up - this is why people stop reading news! He and Trump both - FFS how can they be reported (and so MUCH) with a straight face?
😆

PLEASE VOTE FOR OUR FILM!
People may question why I’m opening up now, or calling this a political hit job. Frankly I don’t care what people call it, the community DESERVES to know who these men are. If they can’t treat colleagues with basic decency, they don’t deserve to be elected. Don’t be gross, easy as that.
Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...
i can’t read it because I’m in New Zealand/paywall - but why the hell not? I’m older than you and certainly love throwing parties!
hey everyone! Please please vote for our film Birdy Nom Nom! It’s the only kiwi film in this Aussie based “Focus on Ability” Festival. It was a fast and furious 48 hours for my son, our students and me.Please search international films then Nz and then “Birdy Nom Nom” :) www.focusonability.com.au
Luxon should write one of those airport best seller management books he loves so much. Passing the Buck. Why nothing should be your fault.
#Willis knows the business - bet she just persuades Hurrell to lower the price of butter to make National look better on inflation / its desperate now #nzpol #NationalNotFitToGovern #Inflation #NickiNoBoats #Fonterra
this is freaking me the hell out as we were talking about the algorithm and the phone listening so yesterday my friend shouted something random into my phone to see if i’d get spammed with ads. That thing was “toe socks!” 😬

Mine too! I’m the youngest though so when i was naughty it was “Ja! -Jam- Ke-Fi!” until she finally landed on the right one!
Didn't they put all the school renovations planned on hold 18 months ago? Did they do that just so they could start them in time for election campaign? How shady is this
yep 🤢
Probably all sitting down together as a family for "Shhh, it's news time" and watching the days events during a single time period. Then it was over until the next day and we could watch other stuff like The Muppets, "It ain't half hot, mum" and Starsky and Hutch.
The slimy little fucker got the taxpayers of NZ to pay for his hotel porn.
“Laz’o Luxo” - bland , flaccid, invisible
This #BastilleDay please enjoy this revolution scene teaser from our latest Inclusive Performance Academy show, “It’s ALL History” 🇫🇷
If #Chung is seriously trying to claim HE is the victim of Dirty Politics, he can crawl back under his slimy rock and shut the fuck up forever - absolutely disgusting #wellington #nzpol
Totalky OVER these coalition cocks- NZ First first has been hijacked by jones who is drill-baby-drilling AWAY the essence of what makes NZ wonderful. And seymour’s ACt is AGAINST everything it is to be w proud iconic kiwi; selling us to overseas ideals and corporates. wankers - both ANTI kiwi #nzpol
This cause is close to my heart - please sign: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/lu...
After introducing dozens of policies to increase greenhouse emissions, undermining global efforts to cut the climate pollution which drives more extreme flooding events, Luxon says his Govt wants to take LESS responsibility for the damage caused by ITS OWN policies. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
but these are bold claims but easily proven- so why does no one challenge him on these lies? They’re easy for people to believe and repeat if unchallenged?! 😕
#luxon keeps repeating that his govt inherited a financial disaster, the worst recession since the early 90’s, an economy that was entirely rooted etc .Is that TRUE? Because I don’t know shit about the economy but it sure felt better before his lot. What is actually true please? #NZPOL #economy
