They lied. Despite over 90% of submitters opposed and massive divisions caused.
National Govt continues to roll it out. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
This is adorable for at least 4 different reasons
Really really is time to drop the silly culture war on bike lanes, roll our sleaves up and complete the long planned cycleway networks. Everyone wins when someone rides, leaving more of expensive stinky stuff for other users:

The irony of so-called populist parties promoting the interests of the excessively wealthy is that excessive wealth is not popular. Who knew?
has anyone told him you can buy groceries at a corner store?
July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.
reflects the timeline they were raised in I reckon
The messaging is on point, simple and positive. And nicely set up to counter the predictable “wealth will flee” bs. Cos if NYC’s billionaires would rather leave “the greatest city in the world” to avoid their collective $500m tax bill, well, doh…. They won’t #wealthtax #taxtherich #taxislove
Wow. MSD staff should get out more
“"There is a narrative across the sector that there are hundreds of NZs without shelter and there is a lack of willingness to engage with MSD. There is no evidence to validate these statements”
A great de-lapsing is coming
And this shit has DEEP implications for the way the country is run because it means white men (who still mostly run the place) do things that just vibe well with them rather than looking at evidence- which is currently driving us into the void on economy, energy, climate, housing, education....
“Brown is the man you pick if you’re marching into a culture war.”
Hmmm. As MAGA falters and Hungary rejects this bullshit… & it’s a plan to poach votes from NZF rather than NZLP…
Well, bring it on weird guy
the thing to know is that, as with all of DJT's "plans" wrt this war, it's ludicrous and should not be viewed with the normality framing that you guys routinely apply to the crap coming out of the WH - especially in this second term.
WTF was the prompt?
Trump TS post featuring an illustration of himself as a Christian faith healer
I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.
Expecting a surge in de-lapsing
That was a joke but seriously this crash in Farage’s currency is bad for WP’s which is sweet as
Has Winston congratulated Magyar yet?
Massive Attack are real ones
This is happening on Wednesday and Thursday.
"The Waitangi Tribunal has granted urgency to an inquiry into the government's decision to scrap school boards' legal duty to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and reset Te Mātaiaho, the New Zealand Curriculum."
'In return for the entirety of the human and non-human world, the tech lords can only offer us dystopia. Their fantasy future contains neither meaningful work nor real communities, just robots chattering to each other, leaving nothing for us.'
The big-tent single issue for #nzpol has gotta be health. A high level long term goal of a return to universal & free healthcare. Policy aims of Labour, Greens, TPM can sit nicely under that. Simeon and Seymour 💯 have healthcare privatisation as their goal, NZF hates public health as a concept.

This Reform leaflet from three Gateshead candidates looks like a timelapse of the same person
for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long. 🇭🇺
ok NOW i bet Zelenskyy will thank JD Vance
This is what curse of the ancients sounded like.
Imagine being a young voter in Hungary today. You've lived most of your life with corruption, decline and the feeling that nothing can change – that the same bleak men would control the rules to prevent it. And today, something different broke through. You've got a future.
“To put it bluntly, the most powerful people in the world are preparing for the end of the world, an end they themselves are frenetically accelerating.” @naomiaklein.bsky.social is consistently prescient and a peerless communicator of complexity. This year old article is spot on for right now
