“I’ll tell you what invites further instability, a vote for Winston Peters that could result in a Labour Party Māori Green government. And all he is doing is courting votes and trying to cause mischief that way. “He’s just mischief-making. There is an emphatic affirmation of support for the Prime Minister and the leadership. And what he’s doing, and it’s very transparent, is he’s saying vote for New Zealand First. “Now that’s his job. My job is to say vote for National. And I am pointing out that the risk with a vote for New Zealand First is it’s a risk to prop up a Labour-led government that brings us back to economic instability, more taxes. more borrowing, a weaker economy.” Nicola Willis on RNZ Morning Report

Fairly sure "more borrowing" and a "weaker economy" is what we got with this government, Nicola. #nzpol

Documents reveal iwi hui cut from Treaty review, replaced by Minister-appointed group OIA emails reveal plans for regional hui with iwi Māori were cut from the Treaty review, replaced by agency engagement and a small advisory group ahead of new legislation.

Two IDF soldier giving 30 days military detention after they were photographed smashing a statue of Jesus. FFS they are shooting children in the head! But a statue violation is worthy of more?

Goring matadors isn’t cruel, it’s part of our culture, insist Spanish bulls The Spanish bull community has defended the goring of a matador in Seville , insisting that the upholding of a centuries-old tradition is definitely not cruel.

NEWS! Goring matadors isn't cruel, it's part of our culture, insist Spanish bulls newsthump.com/2026/04/22/g...

I'd love to post the content of this clap trap, but close your eyes & pretend you're in a pub, the air thick with cigarette smoke, there's an old man sitting at the corer of the bar, last inch of a ciggy waggling on his bottom lip as he pours himself another 7oz glass of Lion Red from his jug, ranting to anyone within air shot about the communists & socialists are ruining the country & that wokeism will destroy us all, except no one is listening, in fact there's a juke box on & Chumbawumba, the socialist band from England's biggest hit is playing & folk are singing along while others are playing darts & yet others are chowing down in a basket of hot fries. A young girl asks her mum & dad 'whose that old man in the corner talking to himself, he looks kinda sad' & the dad smiles 'he's a man who thought he as someone once, ignore him sweetie, we all do'. Bye, Felicia you're done old man - irrelevant.

So there you have it, vacuous pandering to the casseroles who have all turned up to his FB with their napkins ready to dine in his anti-woke rhetoric.

Helluva ploy for a party on 8-10% & National going to loose the election.

"Luxon doesn't have the numbers but nobody else does either" is such a hilarious indictment of this National Party caucus and Government.

Mother Nature is angry! Damn right she is, she sent us the Climate Scientists and yet we desisted and refused and waylaid #NZPol

Fun fact: a Petard is an early shaped charge, used to breach heavy doors.

To be hoisted by your own petard means, literally, "blew yourself the fuck up."

At least 254 killed in Israel’s devastating attacks across Lebanon Israel carries out 100 strikes across Lebanon in 10 minutes, health minister says hospitals overwhelmed with victims.

Where to find the words anymore?

What to say when Israel continues to behave like this?

And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon.

Almost any building, school, or parking lot could be turned into a #solarpower plant and provide #cleanenergy for our cities and homes.

I would have hoped that a government in a period of national emergency would have realised that food supply for the population is a high priority. But if it needs that explained to it, I am glad someone explained that starving people is a problem.

When I realised Margaret Thatcher was dead, I did a double fist pump and shouted "Fucking brilliant!" Everyone around me was disgusted, and, looking back, I suppose it was out of order. Especially as I was the first paramedic at the scene.

The hatred for Margaret Thatcher in the UK is still strong, 13 years after her death in 2013. #UKPolitics

Slavery was actually pretty awesome. Sure, people were beaten a lot and couldn’t leave, but it was all worth it for a night at the theater.

Health policy people’s aversion to masking needs to be studied

BP shareholders advised to vote against chair over climate resolution exclusion Glass Lewis says blocking of proposal to share company’s longer-term strategy at AGM raises transparency issues

BP not only gives up on responding to climate change in any meaningful way - it now won't even let its own shareholders vote on the strategy. Utterly shameful. Don't do business with them.

Everything worse for everyone everywhere as US declares "victory"....

Luxon rejects Te Pāti Māori call for MP pay freeze Te Pāti Māori called for an immediate freeze on MP, Ministers and the Prime Minister’s pay bump that they will all be receiving later on in the year.

I understand that, in theory, MP salaries should be high and set independently. But when those same MPs are consistently offering nurses, teachers, doctors, public servants, etc pay cuts, they can get stuffed.

The PM's office has issued a boil water notice for watching the Prime Minister talking. "If you find it too painful to watch him being a plodding dumbass, just pop your hands in the kettle for a moment to take your mind off things"

Victorians and Tasmanians get free public transport as state governments seek to ease surge in fuel demand Allan government says measure is temporary as energy shock from Middle East conflict sees petrol prices soar

Free public transport is exactly what we should do in NZ. It would actually reduce fuel use and give many people cheap transport options www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Imagine if a left coalition had been voted in at the last election - we’d have
- an electric hybrid ferry
- be 2.5 years further into renewables
- a better economy to face this fuel crisis
- less poverty & homelessness
- a govt taking proactive steps for the crisis
- a more positive outlook

Police forced to reveal Netflix is behind controversial Tom Phillips documentary Police have been forced to reveal that Netflix will screen the reality TV show being made on Tom Phillips.

Since when has that been a thing??
