Members of this government floated in the privileges committee sending Maori MPs to jail for a haka on the floor after voting was finished. Yet Winston Peters called green MPs retards and told one to go back to China?! Suggests kids aren't safe around non-binary mps! Right= always right #nzpol

There are BIG chunks of money going to some political parties in NZ and many are linked to corporate interests. It’s not a level playing field and that is a threat to our democracy. It’s time for better rules. Sign the petition now: action.greenpeace.org.nz/petition/cle... … #nzpol

Note that even if you don't configure your account for this or opt into using it, it will be looking at and logging your face for biometric ID. That database will be used for advertising, it will be sold and traded, hacked and stolen. This will be a disaster for consumer privacy. #nzpol

Brutally gut the whole country’s economy the under two years, then spend the last year weaselling and bullshitting
Paul GardnerWhat other sectors could the NZ Prime Minister brutally transform? --Brutally increase tomato production by halving water use? --Brutally improve literacy by closing libraries? --Brutally strengthen bridges by removing beams? --Brutally improve health by closing clinics?

Have you noticed the FLOOD of paid political advertising? That's because of the FLOOD of MONEY into parties. Much of it is connected to corps aiming to weaken enviro protections. We need to ban corp donations and we need campaign finance reform. action.greenpeace.org.nz/petition/cle...

kyleStuff giving van Velden a victory lap with 2 major, near identical, stories promoting it as 'positive for workers' while burying extremely important critiques at the bottom of 1 article It's more difficult every day to believe NZ newsrooms don't have an ideological bias and electoral preference
Not a day goes by without horrific reports of sexual and domestic violence perpetrated in NZ - meanwhile Government has defunded family & sexual violence support & prevention services #nzpol

#NZpol From Helen Clark writing elsewhere (she no longer has an account here AFAIK) –
Grant Jacobs BioinfoTools/NotJustDNA 🔬🧬🖥️✍️📚🇳🇿#NZpol “Go back to your own country, that's where they lie like a flat fish.” I’d quite like China to lodge an objection, and refuse to have further to do with Peters. After all, he is Foreign Minister, and this quite a thing for a Foreign Minister to say about another country.
