That is some scary perfect cadence and tone. What I would say to you is - cry me a river - but if I closed my eyes I'd say "that's Luxon"

A very productive morning of errands. Picked up my rings resized. Did my democratic duty and returned election letters to wrong address. Dropped stuff to friends. Picked up Nicky Hager's Dirty Work. Picked up some upgraded usb cords finally. All in an hour. I pat myself on the back 🫡

Picked up this week's essential reading #dirtywork Last one on display at a very quiet Whitcoulls so hopefully that means good uptake! Might be able to give a review for Friday. #nzpol#bhn

#nzpol#dirtywork I was about to say: "it annoys me how few headlines are about the content of Dirty Work and most of them are quotes from the people accused" but actually on quick search of today's headlines that's not the case now. The later articles from today are headlining the content. 👌

I am petitioning to have a @patbrittenden.bsky.social and @chewienz.bsky.social audiobook version of Nicky Hager's Dirty Work. Pat's reading for the radio voice deep tones and Chewie's for the interjecting commentary throughout - mostly "FOR FUCKS SAKE" All those in favour say "aye" #bhn#nzpol

Once again, a Green MP outshining the others in a political debate this election. I hope this audience had the brains to come away with a far more mature and realistic sense of who Chloe is and her capability in economics.

TPM Debbie allegedly and inaudiably says "cunt" in the house and booted minutes before the 6pm news goes live, makes it into the headlines. LUXON says "cry me a river" in response to a question on rising cost of living earlier in the day, doesn't get reported anywhere. What the actual fuck.

Cartoon. Title: “Parked” Image shows a bull that has come roaring up to a brick wall, screeching to a halt. Out of the wall is Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown’s face. Words on the wall say, “When an unstoppable force meets (‘an immov’ crossed out) Wayne Brown”

I love the use of the monarch's name to call out the dismantling of Te Tiriti and to honor it. It's even better when we consider what "Hobson's Pledge" advocate for... Smart move. Excellent move.

Holy balls this is incredible! CONGRATS! Tory was out through hell as Wellington Mayor but what she achieved for her city despite that speaks volumes of her integrity and character and leadership. What a role model for the next generation of leaders.. Well deserved.

The headline is a bit hyperbolic for sure but I gotta give Lloyd some praise for this absolute stinger at the end.
"Can I just acknowledge my very good mate, that other great MP from East Auckland, a guy called Simeon Brown. Everyone seems to know him in Pakuranga, and I think for two boys out in South Auckland to be Prime Minister and a senior minister in our government is pretty special.

“This is one of the hardest working men I know in the country. I call him the James Brown of MPs, like he just doesn’t stop,” Luxon said.

James Brown was a legendary American musician but he also was a criminal, with numerous convictions for assault, armed robbery, and domestic abuse.

#nzpol I'm wondering how I can help chch peeps enroll and vote this year. I have a car, I have free time during the week and weekends and I know that is a barrier for some to do errands like posting your enrolment form. I don't know the legality of picking up and posting..

Hooray!!!” Frame 2: a woman running with a small child tied to her front, and a teenager tied to her back, with a box tied on, that is labelled, “Hopes and dreams of a jobless teenager” The woman is looking at her watch and carrying a shopping bag with “Cost of Living” written on it. The caption says, “A low-wage parent carrying the weight of the world over a moving try line…”

I might just pin this here.📌 I know we often agree to disagree, but in reality WE are all we have. Our singular goal is to make Luxon & co a #OneTermGovernment and the only way to do that is through authentic & purposeful Kotahitanga. The rest can be worked out in coalition negotiation. #nzpol #NZ🕊️
