Opportunity Party can get in the bin. EB should resign and go and find his old young nats badge. #nzpol

A decent and fair party leader standing next to a young Nat that never grew up. EB should resign and go and campaign for Luxon.

I know this place is miles from the next gas station, and that it's open 24hrs, provides a great service and is ordinarily expensive, but this is today's price for 95. But yeah, it starts with a four.

Check out the MSD stats in this table by area. Zoom in to see advertised vacancies against the number of registered job seekers. There is no work. Even after more than 200,000 workers have left the country this term. Hat tip to @musicalchairs.bsky.social for the chart.

Look at it this way, the longer Labour takes to release it, the less time you'll have until the election to feel disappointed.

@musicalchairs.bsky.social posted this yesterday: Haven't updated this for a while. Currently advertised job vacancies vs the number of people on jobseeker benefit. Ratio is 1:100 at the bottom and 1:1 at the very top.

Freya thinks Luxon is a moron and has had enough of his bullshit. She is willing you to check your voter registration in good shape.

Stuff has absolutely nailed it with this picture caption. Chef's kiss. #nzpol

An AI powered robot in the form of a vacant looking bald middle aged white guy in an ill-fitting blue suit. The caption says artificial intelligence.

Oh. It appears to be Luxon. No. It can't be. Whatever it is is upright and for a human that requires a spine and Luxon clearly doesn't have one of those.

Robot. It's a robot 🤖. Likely the CEO 2000 model with the corporate world salad speech option pre-installed.

I love this for him. Screenshot of the RNZ front page. You photograph so well champ. So well.

Screenshot of RNZ website news story: Watch: Luxon apologises for remarks made to business.

In the photo, he looks red in the face and looks like he's been caught having crashed his Tesla while trying to look cool doing burnouts in front of his male cabinet colleagues, who he is mistaken in thinking are his friends.

He now realises he'll have to explain all this to his wife.

JFC! Luxon has seen Peter's and upped the anti by attacking trump, the USA, England, Germany and France on immigration. Yeah. No need to sack our disgracefull foreign minister when the PM offends even more countries. Luxon should call a snap election and rid us off his rotten govt. #nzpol

Screen grab of text.

He may think he's Nigel Farage and Marine Le Pen and Pauline Hanson and Donald Trump, but ... we have legal immigration in this country."

He said unlike the United States, England, Germany, France and other jurisdictions, New Zealand's immigration was focused on building infrastructure and had shifted to high-skill migrants.

There's still time (just!) to submit on the hateful definition of a man and woman Bill. I've thought long and hard about what to say. I settled on calling out the general trend of attacking different members of our community for votes. I'm trying to shame the nats🤮in particular. Solidarity 🏳️‍⚧️✊Vote💚

Kia ora. I'm a 55 year old straight Kiwi bloke. I'm married with two children. This is the first time I’ve made a submission. The reason I’m doing so is because there’s something going wrong with what it means to be a New Zealander. I thought we were all about being fair, open, live and let live. This has been changing under the current government.

The thing that really bothers me is that the National Party is supporting all this stuff. First it was all the anti-Māori stuff. Then it was stripping women of their right to have equal pay. Then you’ve got the overt racism against our Indian community. My friends that run the local dairy! This isn’t who we are.

It’s certainly not what I thought National was about. Now, National is buying into this stupid war on woke nonsense and nodding along while other parties are singling out yet another group of people in our country, our transgender brothers and sisters.

I always thought that National wasn’t about what we have in our undies, who we love or where we go to the toilet. But here we are.

What’s going on? This isn’t the party of John Key and Bill English.

The election is coming up and my vote is now up for grabs. Sort yourselves out. Stop picking on folks just because it you think you have to go along with it or your think there’s votes in it. Leave Māori, women, Indians and our Trans brothers and sisters alone. This isn’t who we are.

I recommend that you get a grip of yourselves and reject this ridiculous Bill.
