I don't believe it... Skynet (or something like it) is going to win without a fight, thanks to technological illiterates like Seymour. This admission of ignorance alone should disqualify him from being allowed to run with scissors, let alone a political party. #nzpol

FFS! Could it get any more racist?
Vile full-page printed from The Post and paid for by Hobson's Pledge dickheads. It shows a smiling portrait of Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi with a full face moko (image probably chosen because it is scary to racist POS's). Chris Hipkins, the Labour leader is in his breast pocket. The text reads "Why won't Chris Hipkins *rule out* Te Pāti Māori?"
The image is water-marked as being printed from PressReader

There's absolutely zero chance that Ben Thomas didn't know about the "cry me a river" quote by the way - it's his *literal job* to know this stuff, and he's an absolute pol media tragic on top of that you can hear it in his voice when he tries to pretend he's not even sure of the correct phrasing

And that has always been the problem with the way AI pushers and the credulous people who seem to be doing most the reporting talk about "AI"'s feelings and "pain": they are far more willing to believe that "AI" feels pain than actual living human beings or non-human animals, even. Its dehumanizing.

#nzpol Nothing in the news about the government passing fast track public works making it legal for the crown to confiscate Māori whenua. This legislation is intended to finish the job The New Zealand Company started. @henrycooke.bsky.social newsworthy no?
Screenshot of Hūhana Lyndon post on FB. Fast Track public works amendment passed under urgency in parliament 18 Sep2026. This legislation is a modern day raupatu stealing what little land Iwi Māori have left.
