With all the political doom and gloom circulating at the moment, I think it pays to remind ourselves: The goal of this FUD from the right wing and media oligarchs is for us to believe that we have no say, that neoliberal capitalism is a foregone conclusion. It's up to us to demonstrate otherwise.

There's 1 month left until Voter Enrolments close. Landlords, lobbyists, bot farmers, anti-vaxxers, real estate agents, and CEOs have enrolled to vote. But have your family, whānau, friends, colleagues, flatmates, or peers enrolled to vote? It's easy to enroll at vote.nz/enrolling #nzpol

I saw an article that said "Muse is having a moment" and... I see no evidence of that. Muse is desperately waving for attention in a room where nobody cares.

Yup, here's a thread to back up the Hipkins influence (also I forgot to mention Todd Corporation (a New Zealand Initiative member and Hipkins works parent company) was also an equal donor to both Labour and National till recently while Greens and TPM refused their donations bsky.app/profile/kaim...

Paid for: the money, think tanks and access behind New Zealand's government Party donations, Think Tanks and personal access to Luxon & his MPs - this government is implementing an Atlas Network ideology Stripping us of our rights & handing it to the ultra wealthy few #NZpol

Amazing. Verity Johnson has acknowledged the Green Party and she even likes one of their policies, although she seems to think this is their only policy. Maybe one day she will check out their website? #nzpol

stuff.co.nzIn this deeply uninspiring election, why not back an idea so crazy it just might work?It’s a truth that’s been universally, repeatedly, and loudly acknowledged that this is a deeply, uninspiring election, writes Verity Johnson.

"New Zealand is spending $billions in interest and debt, so we can't afford [better things]" A long-used narrative to justify austerity when Aotearoa's public institutions are nowhere 'bankrupt'. We can spend more on better healthcare. We can lower power & grocery bills for everyone. #nzpol

4. Within seconds, we're onto the old favourite... Govt interest bill is $10bn a year. Obviously, this is a gross figure - including the interest that Govt pays itself!!! Weird how quickly we flipped from net to gross. Govt is still receiving more interest and dividend income than they pay out [5/n]

Kia ora! I got a call from Curia Research this week, and I thought the polling script would be of interest. As is customary, it appears to reflect a mix of public and private polling purposes. Some questions seem targeted for potential campaign rhetoric and one is just strange. Here we go, then ...

It is very funny that the president of Vietnam is arriving today. Really sorry, dude. Do you want to meet, like, Art and Matilda instead? And we can do the PM stuff another time?

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

I speak not as your leader, but as a messenger: today is the final day to enrol on the Māori roll. As Matiu Rata showed us in 1980, your seats and roll are your power, but leaders can't stand without your vote. Stand firm, push on, and draw strength from history. #NZPol #MāoriRoll #TeTiriti
