'He said the "saddest moment" of the debate was Hipkins' rule-out of reading, writing, and maths. It was then pointed out to him that Labour had not ruled that out...' My saddest moment was Chris and Chris defending billionaires with 50,000 more kids in poverty #nzpol

Chlöe Swarbrick gives an almighty summation of the current governing coalition’s record. Her speech, given as parliament closes for the election, also outlines why the @greens.org.nz need to lead the next government… the video is well worth your time. #nzpol

I got a Facebook reminder today about this post from 15 years ago. #nzpol

Two headlines in the same image. 'DJ Key: Cats, not tax' PM John Key fronts live radio show, refusing to discuss policy but happy to talk cats and rugby. The second headline says 'Second cut to New Zealand rating' Standard & Poor's downgrades NZ, hours after Fitch said it was cutting our credit rating

The link to Nicola Willis claiming the 'books' look better is direct. She's the Mum skiting her whanau has an extra $100 in the bank while forgetting the two kids she starved, the one who pissed off to Australia in desperation, and that her sister now sleeps on the street. This is not success #nzpol

To be fair though there won't be a Nicola Willis under a renewed National Government. Though hopefully there will be no Nicola AND no National Government. That would be a great present for my birthday week. ✅✅

I mean if no one can form a government we may as well flip a coin than run a general election again during Christmas or New Year.

Somehow the expectation has been set in politics that getting a good blame in is a winning strategy. I guess it is easier than being competent.

Now, that's what I call journalism! Just pure newshound energy, 29 seconds of the facts and nothing but the facts. Nice work by Glenn McConnell. 🎬 👏 Maybe the *slightest* hint of an editorialising eye-roll at the end, but entirely understandable in the circumstances. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

Whose wallet is all that money coming from? Just the weathy and sorted who feel entitled to their entitlements. Most people will be better off without National.

dignz.bsky.social @dignz.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Why would you not continue to vote Green?

The fact that National lies about the number of houses, lies about the number of nurses, lies about economic recovery means they know what the correct outcomes should be but either don't know or don't care to deliver them.

The National Party Caucus told Luxon he can keep his job as long as he never takes any more questions. That's why the press conference was so short. What are the debates? #nzpol

If National lose the election Luxon will resign. If National win the election Luxon will be rolled.

Something that truly breaks my heart, is that the thing most damaging to the National party hasnt been the homeless people that froze to death this year, the weak stance on racism or the thousands of children theyve pushed into poverty. It was Luxon insulting buisness owners.

Questions for #nzpol. We have 123 MPs currently. Verian poll in June assumed 124 MPs. Curia poll this week assumes 120. If the Curia poll factored in the overhang the headlines would be different. SO: How likely is an overhang next time? TPM, National or both? What party vote % will oust Willis?
