A quote from the Spinoff's coverage of Labour's campaign launch: "The crowd was so hyped up that when Carmel Sepuloni and her co-MC asked the crowd to do a call and response of “when I say Chris, you say Hipkins”, it actually worked."The tweet "Just got back from the centrist rally. Amazing turnout. Thousands of people holding hands and chanting "Better things aren't possible""

Tony Greenstein interview for 1/200
Tony Greenstein, author of Zionism During the Holocaust, discusses the history of Zionism and anti-Zionism. Zionism before World War II was a minority position among Jews mostly associated with elite and right-wing politics. Political Zionism was a Christian invention first and has always had a strong affinity with antisemitism, to the extent that many Jewish Zionists have expressed support for antisemitism.

Why is Hipkins *like* this?? Generational level loser "No one else should be lining up jobs [other than me]" is outrageous win the election first, mate. Maybe ceasing your attacks on women in the Green Party could help with that
article thumbnail on Stuff

headline:

Hipkins slams Swarbrick for lining up jobs ‘before anyone has even voted’text from Stuff article

"He criticised Swarbrick for listing ministries, saying she had gotten ahead of herself.

"No one should be measuring up the Beehive for new curtains just yet. There is still a lot of campaigning to go. We we should all be focused right now on earning the votes and the trust of New Zealanders, not deciding what jobs we're going to have before anybody has even voted," he said.

Although, Hipkins did say what job he and Labour finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds would have.

"I will be the prime minister. Barbara Edmonds will be the minister of finance. Those are non-negotiables for the Labour Party. No one else should be lining up for jobs yet until we see what the voters choose," he said."

At the start of this fawning interview, Jesse Mulligan says “Thanks for putting your hand up to make positive change”. That’s bad enough to say given the aims of this astroturf group, but deliberately avoiding the group’s background & allowing them to solicit donations on air is reprehensible #nzpol

The Greens have been doing these awful emails for years. Even when they don't come off as begging or preying on shame/guilt, they're still delivering their messages poorly. Which is a strong contrast to how they're playing the news. They're doing good there! But the fundraising side... oof.

Reaction to Hager’s book by parts of NZ media seems to be to keep viewing TPU as an honest group that can’t be racist despite ample evidence otherwise. It’s synonymous with how media see anti-Māori/anti-Tiriti actions by the govt as just part of politics rather than as inherently racist #nzpol
