"Turning public goods and services into commercial entities for privatised profit was absurd in 1986 and it's absurd today." The Alliance would progressively buy back the strategic assets sold off in the 80s and 90s, starting with the electricity system. #nzpol

We are doing stuff, just not much of it is on Bluesky

But I think we need to demand better from our governments, local and central, to build the sort of society we need. We can take the lead, and show the way forward. The Alliance stands for the sort of clear, left alternative many people have been talking about for a long time.

Hello Bluesky! I really do not use this website much, but here's the second leaflet we put in basically every letterbox in the ward. It's ambitious, not all of it can be achieved with a single council seat in one small city in at the bottom of the world.

Never done an event like this before. No one warns you how much you get sick of your own face & voice on the campaign trail!

Really looking forward to this! I know @spaceacademy.bsky.social have been very ethically bailing on the website formerly known as twitter, Instagram, and Facebook - but I hope you won't mind me sharing the poster around <3

What an awesome launch, and what fantastic pictures from my friend Marcela! 90-100 through the door, and while some of that was probably for the best line up of musicians on July 4th in the whole city... I am totally honoured and humbled by the support I've received so far.

Absolutely thrilled with that launch event, and can't wait to hit the ground running! Thanks so much to everyone who has supported so far. It'll be a long road, but there is a path to victory - and it'll take a whole lot of help from a whole lot of people. I'd be honoured if you'd join me.

Do you use Reddit? I've not much... But the /chch and /nzpolitics subreddits are active and have high levels of engagement. I'm trying to decide about an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Saturday morning, while en route to Oamaru. Let me know! www.reddit.com/r/chch/comme...

I'm still not much into using this particular corner of social media, but because you can get a whole 3 minute video onto Blue Sky - please enjoy! Me & ECan Councillor Greg Byrnes talking about Fred Cooke.
