Yup
Also note the working class coding of "plumber"
We need that to appeal to sectors of society that currently don't see the Green Party as representing them.

We Did NOT Expect THAT! YouTube video by Australian Greens

Yes, I follow several and think they're doing great!

But I'm also looking at what's happening overseas (and I'm sure they are too) and want that everyperson take, like this Aus video www.youtube.com/shorts/81rAc... and some of the stuff we're seeing from the UK.

The Green Party celebrates today’s court ruling that the New Zealand Superannuation Fund (our pensions) should not be invested in companies doing business in occupied Palestine.

Oh, I don't want them to cater to me, I'm on board — what I want is for them to take a leaf from Aus Greens & UK Greens and do the performative we're real people - plumbers kind of thing.

Because it seems to work.

P.S. They don't all have to do it.
I love the peeps I follow who are wonky.

Want to know where the extra money you're paying at the pump is going?

To the fkn rich of course!

It always does, that's why they have so much money. *Slaps forehead..

They have done nothing to earn this fire hose of money from your account to theirs.

Tax them FFS.

😍 stunning

Seriously?
Willis?
After her clusterfuck of the economy, the ferries and funneling all NZ's money to ciggy companies and mega landlords??? And has never won a seat.

Oh...right...you reckon she's even more unaware than Luxon. Sounds right.

By "effective" you mean the people who bought the republicans also bought the media and the social media thus driving what ordinary people see.

And if a lie is repeated often enough...

💯% my plan, too.

Well done, New York Mayor showing it can be done.
Second third etc. properties biais the market making it too expensive for most to live.

Yes to taxing these investments dwellings more than homes.

One of the many actions Councils can do if they choose people and planet over profit and money.

And 4-6% unemployment rate.

Have to have everyone desperate not to lose their jobs or the workers would have bargaining power.

Hard agree.
Although they're probably nearly impossible to completely ban, we should have way more legislation around lobbyists and the corruption they bring.

Yup, it's why this government is pushing New Zealanders into financial uncertainty and extreme poverty.

Creating long term problems like the ferries, the ditching of three waters etc isn't a bug—it's a feature and Nicola Willis' ties to the NZ initiative & ATLAS group should not be trivialised.

Yup, it's going to be a shit show. The beginning of NCEA was bad enough, but this idea that education isn't failing enough kids is truly sick.

Check out "Poetry Corner" from 10am-2pm this Saturday at Te Matapihi, the new Wellington Central Library! I'm reading with Cuba Press and Te Herenga Waka poets in the 1-2pm session.

Larissa Waters on Instagram: "Do you think being taxed more on your wage than a billionaire is grossly unfair?" 3,658 likes, 116 comments - larissawaters on April 15, 2026: "Do you think being taxed more on your wage than a billionaire is grossly unfair?".

This is good stuff from the Australian Greens.

Their candidates non-green credentials is an angle the New Zealand Green candidates need to be pushing (once we know who they are!).

A large tsunami triggered by one of New Zealand’s major faults could reach the mainland in under an hour, the cuts create the possibility of a 10-20-minute delay in response”

When every minute counts, as it does with tsunami evacuation, unecessary delay of this magnitude will cost lives.

WTAF!!!! #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

Yup.
I also wouldn't have minded some builders and plumbers type workers in the list. That kind of optics worked really well in the UK and would bring in people that don't think the Green Party is for them.

Omg thanks to your reminder I actually voted this year!

The worst kept secret in Hamilton is out! 💚 😎

Albo is throwing the kitchen sink at the fuel crisis. Should we be doing the same? OPINION: Australia began this crisis in a better place than New Zealand. Are they responding to it better too?

Column today: Why is NZ not throwing the kitchen sink at the crisis like Albo is?

This was Seymour’s aim all along. The privatisation will follow.

Gorgeous.

Today is Yom Hashoah, the day of holocaust rememberence in Israel. It is a day to remember all those murdered by the Nazis, but also a day to remember the many civilians across Europe who risked their own lives to save Jewish friends, neighbours and strangers. In Judaism, we say of the dead 'zichron l'bracha', may their memory be a blessing.

We call on Israelis to reflect on this today, and to take the memories of their ancestors killed in the Holocaust as motivation to speak up and take action against the genocide being committed by their friends and neighbours today. The only way to truly honour the memory of those cruelly taken from us is to ensure it does not happen to anyone else. Never again means never again for anyone.

Wrote this today for Dayenu: New Zealand Jews Against Occupation. You cannot commemorate the victims of a genocide while perpretrating one yourself. The killing must end. The occupation must end.

Never again means never again for anyone.
