A picture of Winston Peters standing at a lectern and he actually looks like he's smiling or maybe he's doing the pre bite hiss just like a snake getting ready to bite

If I was being respectful I would call him The Honourable Winston Peters but seeing as he makes far too many racist remarks and name calling, which is definitely behaviour I don't think is worthy of being called honourable at all.

The moral of the story is...don't use your vote to normalise racism ever....these people turn into vampires sucking kindness and community out of Aotearoa New Zealand

Ben Thomas prior press secretary to the National Party & current political editor of the National Business Review doesn't know how to search/read Hansard but I, a 63 yr old school drop out ex cleaner managed? Ben Thomas either has a bad case of selective framing or is a lazy researcher #nzpol

This image is a screenshot of an official New Zealand Hansard transcript detailing an oral question-and-answer session between members of Parliament.Transcript Text Header: Oral Question 2: Prime Minister Asked by:
Rt Hon CHRIS HIPKINS
Answered by: Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON

Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: The Deputy Prime Minister, with all respect, doesn't speak for the National Party.

Rt Hon Chris Hipkins:
When real wages have fallen, power prices have gone up, insurance prices have gone up, rates have gone up, insurance has gone up—all by more than 20 percent, under his leadership, in just the last two years—will he now admit that the cost of living crisis is not only not over; it's getting worse under his leadership?

Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: What I'd say, again—you know, cry me a river. But I'd say if that member was serious about supporting people, why didn't you support tax relief for the first time for working New Zealanders? Why don't you come out and support a council rates cap? Why don't you come out and support structural separation for supermarkets? No idea.

*** Just remembering that the tax relief National gave didn't amount to much and only applied to working families and gave more to those on higher wages than lower wages.
The council caps will result in less services for communities and individuals, services like access to public swimming pools, libraries and mobile libraries, etc
Structural separation of supermarkets that National have promised to ONLY RESEARCH if elected back in unlike the changes proposed by Labour or the Greens.

The following article is at the crux of what our democracy faces here It's not donation, it's investment! theintercept.com/2026/09/23/d... We need people to party vote Green- they have 2 member bills to reform the current political party donor & lobbying systems That's beyond promises & rhetoric

Alt Text / Image Description

A screenshot of a mobile news article from the website theintercept.com, titled

"DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why."
The visible text details critiques surrounding corporate influence and a historic wage-theft settlement against the food delivery service DoorDash.

The excerpt reads:

'It's not a contribution, it's an investment, with the donor or investor expecting something in return,' said Greg Coleridge, a former co-director of Move to Amend, an advocacy group that seeks stringent regulations against corporate money in elections. 'Here is an instance where organized money from a company that was trying to avoid being responsible and accountable, was unsuccessful.'

Announcing the new settlement, Mamdani said,

'The size of this settlement shows the damage done to workers by wage theft. But it also shows that enforcement matters.'
