Has anyone mentioned to the National Party that their election campaign is making them look and sound like they're the opposition? They're making Chippy look very Kenobi. #nzpol

I think the Auckland CRL has shown Kiwis love trains. And now the Greens step in and say “What about the CRL, but for the whole country?” And people, who remember love the CRL, are saying “Yes! Choo choo motherfucker!”, and hopefully choo choo motherfucker we shall. #nzpol

Looking through some old stuff and found this cartoon I cut out c1996. They just never really have new ideas, just new packaging. (For younger readers - right wing think tank the NZ Initiative formed out of a merger of the NZ Business Roundtable and the NZ Institute in 2012.)
Photo of a black and white cartoon with a bunch of men sitting around an executive board table. A sign in front reads “Quiet please, Roundtable in session”. From left to right they are saying:
“The govt should get out of education and health…”
“We need more contestability in social welfare…”
“the govt should sell ACC and the post office…”
“We should privatise electricity and roading…”
“Seen the polls? Winston could be the next PM”
“That’s disgraceful. What happened to the New Zealand we all knew and loved?”

Chris Penk knows fiction because that is where his claims/lies about abortion law reform sit. Chris Penk is not a journalist. He thinks Hager is not a journalist. He is incorrect. Chris Penk aligns himself with people who display a lack of moral integrity and operate in an underhand way. #nzpol

The child's name was Mohammed Al-Zeinati. He was 15, somehow we are expected to not speak out against the actions of those who see children as legitimate targets. He, with so many thousands of others deserved to live a life free of the horrors of war. May his soul find peace. #FreePalestine

These industries no longer even put food on NZ tables. They grow food for 40million to feed their bank balances and want to do that without care or concern for the environment or people. Exploited RSE workers, polluted rivers, NZers not affording food. #nzpol www.thepress.co.nz/rural/361067...

Winston Peters and David Seymour and their parties are incredibly dangerous for this country. Luxon doesn’t see it because his North Star is only being PM, he doesn’t care about this country at all. Hipkins can’t care cause that would mean reckoning with Labour’s past decisions that got us here.

Family violence is up 18% under Luxon’s govt. Violent crime up 6%. They’ve kept women poor (pay equity stripped & benefits cut) so they can’t leave their broken violent partners. That’s only what’s reported too, 50% never report family violence at all. 💔 #nzpol #NZ www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...
