B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Why spend money on reinforcing Privacy laws when you can spend millions on more important things like *checks notes* Michelin Stars…….yikes. #nzpol #MMH #databreach 073
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 17/11/2025The ‘Fossil of the Day’ is awarded, daily, to countries “doing the most to achieve the least” on climate change. There is $$$ to be made in renewable energy research, development & application. I don’t understand why the Govt push for non renewables over ongoing profit generation. #nzpol. 065
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Just a morning thought, but, does #NZpol share my concern that politicians shouldn’t be allowed to force through legislation, especially a bill that’s been rejected three times before, as part of a coalition agreement? 1215
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Hi! 😊 Can you try uploading your graph again, please? All I’m getting is this: 100
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Methinks that because certain MPs are pocketing money and (allegedly) fudging their own system for financial gain, and they probably socialise with other wealthy people who do/have behaved the same way, they assume everyone is doing that. Projecting much. #nzpol 071
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 05/10/2025*best news anchor voice* Tonight, at 11; Entitlement Brigade uses lame metaphor to distract everyone from demanding why we’re funding expensive, nothing-burger, gas exploration project instead of solar. #nzpol 110
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 20/09/2025But she won’t face any repercussions or even have the decency of providing a half arsed public apology because - and say it with me - consequences 👏are 👏only 👏for👏peasants! #nzpol 1264
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 20/09/20252/2 Will IRD also be using it to go after the business’ participating in million $ tax dodging? No? Ok. Yeah, nah, I get it. Defs more money to be gained from punishing min wage, working 3-jobs-to-feed-the-fam people. /s. #nzpol 01411
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Omg Simeon, NO ONE believes what your comms team told you say. 🙄 #nzpol 1164
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 03/09/2025Interesting that Seymour suddenly wants out of this not long after the International Court of Justice determined that the 1.5°C temperature target is LEGALLY BINDING under the Paris Agreement. Heaven forbid Governments be held legally responsible for not walking their talk. #nzpol #OneTeemGovt. 11711
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 03/09/2025…..they know we can see their voting records, right? We can fact check their nonsense…. 010
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 03/09/2025The Govt happily defunded the public health system because of ‘inflation’. And yet, the Govt happily want to increase the threshold for reporting donations and loans to $6k because, of ‘inflation’. “Austerity for thee but, not for me.” #nzpol 030
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Oh look, another minister going against official advice to make law changes that benefit industries & endanger the public, worsen peoples’ health, which will inevitably put strain on our defunded health system. I would love to see which booze lobbyists have swipe card access to her office. #nzpol 062
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 12/08/2025Yet ANOTHER bill where Ministers aren’t engaging properly with the public or the knowledge bases who could guide them. A call to create a ‘permanent infrastructure committee’ could impede future discussions if we wanted to roll back anything. #nzpol www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak... 112
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 25/07/2025*said in a bratty, out of touch voice* “Guys, like, you should actually be sooooo grateful for the premium butter you can’t afford to buy. I mean, we could be making butter more affordable that’s not premium quality. Like, imagine that on the $7 loaf of bread you also can’t afford…” #nzpol 😒 000
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Meanwhile, this stinks of lobbying and questionably tactics. 100
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 23/07/20251/2 On the subject of lobbying, is that a Wellington mayoral candidate getting caught up? The lobbying receipts were redacted so much that no one really knew what exchanges, if any, went on except the people involved. #nzpol 332
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 23/07/2025"This rise in emissions from electricity, gas, water, and waste services was largely due to increased use of coal for electricity generation in this quarter.” This could be used as a solid argument for subsidised solar panels. NZGreens? Anyone? #nzpol www.stats.govt.nz/news/total-g... 041
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Capitalism: When a multi billion dollar company that got dunked on in Court - twice - & are regularly reported on internationally for dodgy employment policies, are allowed to recommend policy changes to law in an attempt to undermine a legal decision they don’t like. #nzpol 183
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Under the NACTNZ, I saved $20 a week and the price of everything increased. But I'm absolutely on board being taxed more if it means we ALL get the services we need. #nzpol #kikorangi Greens tax calculator www.greens.org.nz/taxcalculator 150
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Most of the citizens didn’t but the media turned on her because she committed the political sin of ‘feeling empathy for those less fortunate than yourself’. How heinous. Must burn the witch. Ffs🙄 #nzpol 0161
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 03/06/2025NZ Herald suggested this in a Jan 10th article, where the phrase “it’s possible” was repeated serval times, with zero confirmation that this actually happened. The article was regurgitated by RNZ the next day. I’m so tired of this crap. It’s dangerous. Not to mention it’s bad journalism. #nzpol 33511
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 03/06/2025In the words of the great Book Store Owner and Philosopher Bernard Black, “up with this, I will not put”. #nzpol 230
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 26/05/20251/2 If you wish to submit on the RSB, some things to note: - avoid going on off topic rants, don’t include offensive language and defamatory statements. #nzpol #kikorangi #RSB Your submission will be declined if it has any of these. See image attached for more info on how to write a submission. 100
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 22/05/2025They keep lecturing us like they know better, yet their views are self-defeatingly narrow while their policy is available for purchase by the highest donor and the Budget reads like it was written by a comms graduate… oh, wait. #BudgetDay #nzpol 041
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 12/05/2025There was a wild concept I read about once where people who successfully climb the Ladder of Success help & encourage others climbing up after them; instead of reaching the top & pushing off every other climber, while yanking the ladder up behind them so no one else can use it #nzpol #kikorangi 020
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 12/05/2025As a chronically unwell person; purposely under staffing and under funding is when huge mistakes happen and, in healthcare, people die. Which, I assume at this point, is the actual end goal of our libertarian law supporting government. Consequences are only for the poors. #nzpol #kikorangi 054
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Instead of listening to medical professionals with decades of experience & an actual interest in improving public health; career politicians write legislation based on inflexible ideologies to make life harder for people just wanting the right to be productive members of society 😒 #nzpol #kikorangi 120
B00TS @b00ts72.bsky.social · 02/04/2025“Accountability”, this coming from one of the most apathetic politicians we’ve had for 40 years, who has backtracked us to a point where providing proper funding to the Health sector is considered a wrong choice by our Prime Minister and his MPs. #nzpol #kikorangi 0100
