This cartoon is BRILLIANT and sums up very clearly why NOBODY should be voting labour because they are just NATIONAL with a kinder face and a caring smile.

If you are voting labour, please for the love of dog, don’t.

VOTE GREEN!

Show me a LABOUR policy that is undoing the orthodoxy???

If you could please come back in a couple of years

Mark Mitchell says 36 emails were sent to his office but also that a protocol had been put in place by the Police Commissioner's office to prevent him seeing them.

I'd love a journo to ask:

1. When was the protocol put in place?
2. When did Mark Mitchell become aware of the protocol?

Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon New Zealand was among only a handful of countries - including the US, Japan and South Korea - which had not formally recognised Palestinian statehood.

#CLux is no leader.

Went to a rugby test match rather than UN meeting.

Didn't tell Kiwis of Cabinet decision not to support Palestine.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced it 2 weeks later at UN which was o/n NZ time #Cowards #NZpol

But perhaps the most daunting obstacle to a moral self-examination among Israelis is that in this war, morality itself has been weaponized in the service of terrorism. Hamas’s greatest asset is the outraged conscience.

Your conscience is now Hamas

Palantir/Peter Theil calling

Review of early childhood education funding announced Minister David Seymour has asked an advisory group to consider a balance between quality and cost.

"Balance between quality and cost" means "funding a shitter service" www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This government’s reaction to being told its economic policies are worse than Ruth Richardsons is not to change direction, but to give an award to Ruth Richardson

Chef’s kiss

The recovered money doesn’t go back into the health system, but to the government consolidated fund (the everyday spending account sort of). So, from Health NZ’s perspective it is a cost with no positive outcome for them - so it gets cut.

Fake crowd noise in the cricket TV coverage? #NZvsPAK

One of the only Atlas Network goals not yet being pushed in Aotearoa is 'criminalising peaceful protests'. But now we have the IPCA advocating an offence 'to protest without permission' (& more). We're like a mini crewmate version of the US descent into darkness - eyes open folks #nzpol #kikorangi

"He said healthcare in New Zealand was costing New Zealanders $6000 per person, suggesting people could get better value for their healthcare if that money went to individuals' own health insurance."

David Seymour is suggesting that people could get better private healthcare for $6000 per person per annum. It only takes cursory familiarity with healthcare costs to understand what a farce that statement is. 🧵

Psst:...advice from my big brother: direct all your anger and outrage at Luxon for allowing such craven bullshit from his coalition partners - he's the one who handed them the power. He won't like the heat.
