Scrolling by I thought this said "Healthy & Sorted" still fits. Disabilities, chronic health issues in you or those you care for definitely makes it harder. All those people chanting use public transport forget its lack of accessibility to many.
Anonymous X, NZ rightwing smear account @Suitandtie999 puts hand up as the provider of information for smear. Replying to @LobbyForGoodNZ "You're welcome btw. Minister of Social Development on 1 February 2023. In under nine months, the Ministry of Social Development handed MUMA eight contracts worth a whopping $5,144,224. Notably, with the 2023 election just months away, the Ministry and MUMA entered into three new three-year contracts worth millions of dollars. The only previous three-year contract between MSD and MUMA was signed in September 2020- also under a Labour government, and just one month before that election. By contrast, in the almost two and a half years since the coalition government came to power, MSD and MUMA have signed just eight contracts just over three contracts per year $1,295,700. averaging worth a mere Not one has extended beyond a single year. More to come...." End tweet. LOBBY for GOOD replies, "Great work! I didn't realise this is where the information came from when we recieved the tip through our website. Thank you!"
New: "Lobby for Good" is NZ First candidate Erika Harvey of Tauranga #NZPol
Regular for Reality Check Radio, big fan of "Shubz" so most likely Hobsons Pledge
Here they are *again* trying to smear Labour's Willie Jackson and wife Tania Rangiheuea
Lobby for Good is a sham
Or you don't know how long you can be at a whare. They usually say grow in pots at that point and it's like gah many times you cant carry & care for them anyhow between houses.
What! Posting to look into this more, as this sounds sick and depraved.
National will do it and say its what the voters wanted :( it's scary how high he's polling.
The growth of climate-related disinformation in New Zealand - accelerating sharply after the 2023 general election, and under the coalition govt - has served as a significant vector for a transnational industry working to normalise climate change denial. sanjanah.wordpress.com/2026/04/20/s... #nzpol
Your regular reminder, that had Nikki No Boats not cancelled the iREX ferries out of spite, we'd have brand NEW fit for purpose ferries coming in to service about NOW!
instead, we have no new boats, and a fleet of aging not fit for purpose boats that require additional maintenance.

#NZPol Racist fucks.
Well done Allied (and it seems Tasman & NPD) for reacting quickly to oil prices dropping
95 down 24c & diesel over 40c since yesterday

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.

Friday the 17th at 9:45AM is this webinar about the 'reforms' of the research sector and the recently released report. 👇
I encourage anyone with interest to attend, particularly if you are or have been involved with the public research system in any capacity.

I'm on a zero hour contract that should have finished ages ago - i'm lucky to have that. I'm focusing on family, and getting more "committee" & "policy" experience through school BOT roles, and community groups. Despite having years of community group & leadership experience - but it's whats there.
First, I am not a massive fan of GDP as a measure, but make no mistake, 2024 and 2025 were spectacularly bad. We skewered ourselves good. RBNZ knocked the economy out and Luxon and Willis kicked it in the head as it fell. Lowest average QoQ growth in the OECD 🫡 [2/n]
I swear getting the $25 each extra iwtc for a couple just reduced other bits too, will have to see in a few weeks. I know the child disability does for TAS.
THIS is what they don’t mention, every time the government talks about increasing benefit amounts in April each year. And it’s not just the accommodation supplement that drops. #nzpol #beneficiaries

Hey #nzpol is this significant?

Who should make decisions about suitability of medical treatment? Should it be politicians w/o understanding of medicine or actual experts? If experts, then who?

#nzpol sound familiar?
Ugh I remember the cops in my own case - "go easy on him he feels bad about it and it's nearly Christmas" Do they not think friendship is another breach of trust, another level to abuse!
One reason why LGBTQ+ history matters, is that THIS vile fuckery will come as no surprise from the only member of Parliament who voted against Homosexual Law Reform, the Human Rights Amendment Act and marriage equality at all stages. He's always been a hateful anti-queer bigot. #nzpol
Petrol too expensive so thought I would catch the train tonight. Forgot trains don’t run on public holidays, New Year’s Eve or after concerts and sporting events..Silly me.

There's a lot to unpack in this article, but what stands out to me is this is a teenaged girl (14yo) performing sex acts for...Uber Eats.
A child, selling nude pics for food.
And a wealthy man, who had the means to send her food, for free, but required pics first.

Self centered thought of mine is Science is already pretty broken, I'm worried there will be no coming back from worse.
I would expect nothing less. Let’s make sure this backfires spectacularly on election day 2026!

This table brings out points in a bit more detail. Hope this helps NZ'ers understand where they sit in relation to what the UK, and Australia have been informed by their leaders around what the coming weeks, and months will bring. He waka eke noa, but those already vulnerable will be hit hardest.
