Any political party that intends to expand our nation's connections to the USA or the US military MUST campaign for an explicit public mandate during these elections for it to be valid. No permission sought = no permission authorised.✊ #FuckTrump #FuckTheUSA #OneTermGovernment #nzpol
Both par for the course and absolutely disgusting. It should be a lasting shame on us as a country that Peters has for 40 years made a political career out of peddling this sort of crap to the bigots receptive to it.
Winston Peters launches tirade against Chinese-Kiwi Green MP“This is called democracy, unlike what you're used to. So go back to where you come from, you loud mouth, and maybe you'll learn something,” Peters said.www.stuff.co.nz
NZ Govt's 'sneaky' alternative to urgency for skipping select committee: Changes to council voting, homeschooling rules and the foreign buyers ban have all been introduced after the public weighed in at select committee #AtlasNetwork #Democracy #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2026/06/12/g...

I generally do the opposite of namedropping, like I will deliberately obscure the name of anyone I meet with a known name. However, I feel compelled to break the rule this time because I just bumped into Lawrence Xu-Nan and told him I look forward to them booting Winston Peters from government 😇
MP Lawrence Xu-Nan. Our 👑 of fillibustering Amendments To The Bill (to delay appalling legislation going thru the House), the loveliest person & hardworking, dedicated advocate for kids, parents & educators everywhere agst Stanford's insanity. Also, hot ❤️🔥💚 LOVE @bloodysamoan.bsky.social new design!
CEO Johnny CansI encourage Lawrence Xu-Nan to continue to make Winston madder than he's ever been because Winston Peters complaining about someone speaking too much or heckling in the House is like fire complaining about arson.
Hopefully Labour will be able to chuck him out. #nzpol

Yeah. If you're a professional services firm who people hire for your judgment and you demonstrate you think your judgment is no better than a consumer AI chatbot, you have nothing at all to offer. Same goes for law firms.
Dr Duncan RobertsonIt's one thing to outsource thought leadership go consultants. But *if* they in turn outsource *their* thought leadership go GenAI, why not go straight to the source and cut out the middle man. www.ft.com/content/7e14...
This is vile, and at no point in the article is it called out as the xenophobia and racism it is. Instead, the journalist fact checks how much Xu-Nan speaks in parliament, in support of Peters's claim that Xu-Nan talks a lot during debates. #nzpol
