Cartoon showing Winston Peters, Luxon and Seymour next to each other, in front of a fishing boat. Peters says: NZ First listened. Luxon says: No National listened mire. Seymour says: ACT listened the most. A banner underneath has Shane Jones in a diaper with text reading DITCH THE PRICKS IN 26

Lol.
Must be an election coming up.

'28 years of experience, but can't get a job': Jobless Kiwis in their own words Paddy Gower put a post on LinkedIn and was flooded with messages from people who are out of work.

This is what Business, Farmers, the Rich & Elite voted for.
Is it what You voted for?
Heartbreaking accounts from real job seekers, some spending 2 yrs searching with no luck.

‘Someone needs to be held accountable’: Peters claims Covid inquiry didn’t give vaccine injured a voice New Zealand First leader Winston Peters and Minister of Health Simeon Brown have used Parliament’s Question Time to attack the Labour party’s Covid-19 response.

For fucks sake. Winnie has gone* full Uncle Frank on the book of faces. Is there any level of ignorance he won't embrace for his ever decreasing voter base?

* Let's be honest, he's been there a while.

Government considering scrapping entire clean car standard An EV advocate says if the proposal goes ahead, Kiwis will be sold "the high-emitting leftovers" that manufacturers can no longer sell in Australia.

Luxon Govt gives the middle finger to the future.

@patbrittenden.bsky.social @chewienz.bsky.social Something for the show tonight?

@greens.org.nz @chrishipkins.bsky.social Can we get an announcement that this will be reversed immeadiately?

They might want to rule us, but they were elected to SERVE us. They obviously need reminding of that fact. Get them gone.

DO NOT FORGET what this government did to women.

They could not give less of a fuck about women. Or workers. Or children. Or the environment. Or the rule of law, if they tried.

This is not my Aotearoa. This is *not* what it means to be a Kiwi.

A screencap of an article on Stuff with the headline corrected. The original headline reads "Government gives police ‘move on’ powers to ban rough sleepers, beggars" and has been crossed out. The new headline reads "Government gives police ‘move on’ powers to kick down on rough sleepers, beggars"

Hey! #StuffNZ! I fixed your fucking headline.

The legacy of the Luxon Government has many problematic points. This one just bumped "punishing people for being poor" up the list.

Check your enrolment status, and Vote these fuckers out.

Here we go.
Performative cruelty that doesn't at all address the causes of the issues, further antagonises an already marginalised vulnerable community, undermining police authority to them, and multiplies the harm of an already punitive approach.

So yeah, classic National.
I'd say it's […]

So, all those wealthy sorted people who are getting the country back on track?

It's BULLSHIT. They are stealing from the rest of AoNZ.

This country deserves to grow and thrive. These bastards are funnelling anything that could help do that into their own pockets.

"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make." -- Lord Farquaad

Whenever something bad happens under this current government, this quote pops up in my head.

Government wants to bypass fast-track process for proposed liquefied natural gas terminal A proposed LNG terminal will bypass even the fast-track process in order to be built in time.

Of course they want and will do it. This government is so anti climate change.

A "reliable backup" they say? They could have just not cancelled the reliable back up that was in progress when they came in to power.

~~It's like~~ they have no fucking idea what they're doing.

Because there has been no growth, particularly in the tax take due to increased unemployment, the country is sinking deeper & deeper into the red via government debt every single month.

I’m guessing that Judith’s “transnational crime” discussion did not include extrajudicial killings of 37 year old moms across the nation. Her government is importing fascism with a smile and a selfie. #DitchThePricksIn26 #nzpol
