Pro election tip.Virtually all candidates will be barking between now and results day.If the pressure hasn't bit they haven't been trying hard enough.

Has anyone ever exposed this guy to kryptonite?

Brand new Hospital ICU ward sits empty as 80% of new public health spend sent to private sector, by @bernardchickey substack.com/@bernardchic...

A really important, insightful piece about what I like to think is the real New Zealand - inclusive, looking out for everyone.

'I'm alright but ...': The surprise concern bugging voters in this election campaign: www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/nationa...

Back to normal!

Until we muzzle the oligarchs, every election, forever, will be about the cost of living.i

"...the separation option received less votes than the total number of signatures that would have been required to trigger a citizen initiative referendum when the Citizen Initiative Act was initially passed in 2021." #abpoli https://daveberta.substack.com/p/six-takeaways-from-albertas-referendum

Happy 10th birthday Fulford, even although you tried to kill your cake.

I owe a lot to this overstuffed, absolutely garbage-sounding collection of songs from 1973.

Last day! NZ National restricted general roll voting regulations for the first time in 40 yrs To reporters please don’t repeat spin- the change won’t speed up counting - And let’s not shrug & say just 2% fewer voters enrolled It’s 300,000 NZers prevented from voting That’s an entire NZ town

The Green Party have the evidence based policies that would deal with all the problems facing this country. Give them your party vote. You won't regret it #nzpol

We really need to break up the "Wealthy and Sorted" Gang.They have done so much damage to our social cohesion already.

The very least this clown can do.

@secondzeit.bsky.social was an early enthuser but the rest of media world? Hoping work is underway to rectify this.THIS IS A BIG DEAL!

In fiction, this would be considered far too heavy-handed a metaphor... Pete Hegseth’s staff break priceless historic globe he requested for office www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If war is coming why not give Kiwis a country worth fighting for again?

NZ Super Fund yielded $9.3b for Kiwis last year. It's world class surpassing Singapore. The NZ Future Fund is one of Labour's core #Election2026 policies. And it was former PM Helen Clark & Sir Cullen that set up both NZ Super & Kiwisaver. Seymour wants NZ Super fund stopped. #NZPOL

The horror, the horror.

Ah but is AI "finding" this flaw to shut us down before Skynet?

It's not Luxon's lying that bothers me, it's the fact a not insignificant slice of the populace believe them.

Yeah, so this is shit.

Suck it transphobes

Not that I've re-opened my consultancy yet but just a reminder I speak fluent comrade.

Shout out to Samuel Parnell who was such a shit-hot carpenter he could refuse to work more than 8 hours a day and his employers had to agree to it but instead of just taking the win he worked to get the 8 hour day for OTHER WORKERS. my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/labour-day/

Okay for Willis to return to Parliament National needs around 33%, 35% for Bishop returning to Parliament Umm if National is under 30% they are pretty fucked theprogressreport.co.nz/mmp-calculator/

So wishing Hipkins had said "Chris Luxon stole my homework" during the education slot.

Late to the party but Hipkins looked to be getting in some heavy hits while Luxon simpered and tried to be plausible.

#nzpol Frighteningly sad that all polls indicate core 20% (NZF+ACT) of this country that are either gun nuts, vaccine cookers, and/or outright racist. But PM is happy to talk to them & enter govt *with* them *again*. And no media question this. But, somehow, talking to gangs is bad. 🤔 Sigh🙏🏾.

Trump's heading into Luxon territory.

The French trashed the McDonalds, looted the Apple Store and Luis Vuitton's hand bags. All run by global billionaires. But they left the French Chicken shop untouched.

"Caturday" Lord Fulford enjoys some Spring sun in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Wonder what they are up to here in Aotearoa!

Deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon has fallen to its lowest level in nearly 40 years, according to figures released Friday, in welcome news for leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva days before a presidential runoff. u.afp.com/SC7w

😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian ​President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by ‌restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile ​of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his ​WhatsApp channel…” 1/

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Zooming out from the election hype lets reflect on how wondrously rare it is to see a first term Government struggling to get back in!

If the government had spent the last 3 years promoting EVs rather than utes, this wouldn't matter so much. Hopefully the next govt will correct that. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Wonder how big the "3 more year's of Luxon, fuck that!" vote is?

MMP Sums and/or thinking hurt your head? Go straight to "Grand Coalition" and take some panadol.

Lots of "Grand Coalition" reckons from the same limited minds that get outraged by gangs.National and Labour have their own gang culture .

Bernard Hickey has been singlehandedly running a better campaign against this government than the entire machinery of the Labour Party 🫡
