Quick 🧵 to help people see through the NZ austerity bullsh*t. Here's the core crown spend and revenue for the year 2024/25. Govt intend to spend $145bn and tax back $136bn. That means that this year the Govt will make the private sector $9bn richer. How so? [1/n]

Rod Emmerson’s cartoons: Week of September 9 - 15 nzherald.co.nz/nz/rod-emmerso…

“It is an act of bad faith and deep dishonour that the Crown is seeking to unilaterally amend how the Treaty is interpreted in all laws without the free, prior and informed consent of Māori.”  — Tai Ahu and Natalie Coates. e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-an…

Fascinating framing as could equally be written "Woman gets what she is legally entitled to despite efforts of ex-partner to hide assets" nzherald.co.nz/nz/man-likely-…

Last night windows were smashed and acid thrown on Haitian owned cars. Now these Neo-Nazis are on the streets of Springfield. Trump and company are sponsoring America's own "Kristallnacht." It's disturbing and-frightening.

Geez this guy seems determined to do the wrong thing in every single possible way. rnz.co.nz/news/political…

So they are finally admitting what we already KNOW! This pause has directly impacted my daughter’s placement for next year!😡. Health New Zealand confirms recruitment pause on some hospital roles to deal with ‘overspend’ nzherald.co.nz/nz/health-new-…

What I'd just say to you is, yes we're throwing single bottom feeders back out on the street where they belong. Unfortunately for now we're having to place families in warm, dry houses useless Labour built. But we're putting an end to that nonsense as well. #CoalitionOfGhouls

Add refusing to go on Q&A to the list of media appearances Luxon won’t do and our media commentators have no problem with for some reason.

He doesn’t denounce the bomb threats. This is a candidate explicitly running on the promise of political violence.

I'm not at all sure that different ministers consult with each other Eg Did Simeon Brown talk with the climate change minister about our carbon emission agreements? They're not a cohesive govt & go in their own directions oblivious to overall goals rnz.co.nz/news/political…

Why is NZ so uncaring? NewPlymouth losing hundreds of jobs possibly thousands, 3 towns in Hawkes bay lose hundreds of jobs that will see property prices colapse and an exodus to Australia . Media and public just shrug shoulders. This Gov't have ruined thousands of families future

Denis - The COVID info guy - Qld Teachers' Union Queensland Health Di Farmer Shannon Fentiman Why aren't the unions calling for Covid mitigations? HEPA air purifiers, open windows and CO2 monitors in all classrooms will go a long way towards improving teacher & student absences & health. Why are such simple solutions being ignored by institutions & government?

This clip is getting shared around Telegram groups. Lets not forget the conspiracy theorist crowd got one of their people into parliament

This is truly fkn serious! Where is Mark Mitchell the Police Minister? Why did the PM, National Party and Coalition Government get blindsided by the Police? Whatever happened to NO SURPRISES? Who's getting sacked????! Christopher Luxon Winston Peters David Seymour

Ugh4321 Christopher Luxon I know. Everything they do is just manipulation of the numbers. They did it with hospitals, they did it with emergency housing & now policing. Pack of fucking liars. 🙄

Hey Christopher Luxon - you can't be even partially serious about trying to find s*xual abuse victims if you ALSO support the ACT party with their insistence on their ongoing pursuit of name suppression. Which is it?

Just imagine for a moment if Ardern had refused media to the level being done now… DO YOUR JOB, MEDIA. Start acting like there's at least some consequence. Your freedom of press comes with responsibility, too.
