An absolute betrayal from ACTs Brooke van Velden. The H&S Bill should not progress. We must kill the bill in honour of the 29 men killed at Pike River and the estimated 10,000 people in NZ who have died from work-related diseases or workplace fatalities since the Pike explosion in 2010. #nzpols
Really? Weeks into this crisis and the best your can do is a minimal package for only 8% of New Zealanders. #NZpols
New Zealand - this is the ACT / National Party playbook
Atlas are responsible for fossil fuel disinformation & senior kiwi politicians are members of Atlas

Ooh @nickbaker.digital I would absolutely be here for a pre-campaign period poll on the best (worst?) election campaign slogans of the last decades!

Election year has only just begun, and already I'm tired of "what I'm sharing today" and "and what I am saying to you is" and also "let me be clear?" Let you? I'm begging for it. At least no one is trying to say are are "back on track" this week.

Follow up to yesterday's invisible unemployed story, those with illness and disabilities. #nzpols #disabilities
I have been wondering for a while what the real numbers of unemployed in Aotearoa are, so I asked a journalist. I shared a bit of my story, and it turns out the invisible unemployed are legion. #nzpols #Aotearoa #politics #unemployed
Today is the anniversary of the Wakatipu by-election of 1872, in which the victor was German-born merchant Bendix Hallenstein, who left Parliament the following year to start up the retail clothing chain that still bears his surname.

Check out the #Kikorangi feed, click through to a few profiles that you remember from way back when in the other place, then look to see who they are following to find more people from Aotearoa to follow.
Hashtags like #Kai and #NZCraft will get you local creative content. #NZPols self-explanatory.

Turn on the rile taps when you have a left wing government to get rid off. Keep the rile taps closed when you have a right wing government to protect. Easy #nzpols
Five pictures of NZ PM Christopher Luxon smiling and socialising in pubs while the country he governs has 5 states of emergency declared.
Images of serious slips and flooding in Aotearoa New Zealand. An image of a slip shows a campsite with overturned vehicles and where people are currently missing. A picture shows a road with fast flowing running across it. A man has been swept away in his vehicle from here and hasn't been found at this time.
This is day and night stuff. Completely devoid of any understanding of how to operate as the head politician in a country. A country where people are dying at the same time as he is smiling, drinking and trying to gather votes.

It’s well past time that Brian Tamaki and his church be stopped in their hateful and uncharitable actions towards New Zealanders.
I encourage you if you can to please support this effort to set a precedant in holding Tamaki accountable 🙏🏼

This article ignores Peter Jackson's successful efforts to change the law so NZ film workers (still) can't have collective agreements and the millions in subsidies Warner Bros got for LOTR. Do your research journalists. Jackson tricked people into panic and threatened to leave, and won! #nzpols

Reading Christopher Finlayson’s book “He Kupu Taurangi” it’s sad to see how far the National Party has strayed from its roots. Like the US Republicans it appears to have been captured by religious nutters and the super rich #NZPols

Victim blaming is supposed to be a thing of the past. Shame on @guncontrolnz.bsky.social and their co-founder Hera Cook for these tone-deaf and inappropriate comments. They both owe the family a formal apology. #NZPOLS #COLFO #GuncontroINZ

It's the anniversary of the 1927 Raglan byelection won by Labour's Lee Martin, who later became Savage's Min Agriculture 1935-41. Marilyn Waring, the great-granddaughter of the defeated 1927 Reform Party candidate, won the seat for National in 1975 #NZpols

Yep. Surely this is true of NZ too.
