if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

A pre-election reminder that the governing coalition decided that pay equity for women was not important 18 months ago. The silence around this right now is little short of staggering as the Nats and their buddies in the media make this election a single issue about law and order. #nzpol

there's still a possible solution, vote GREEN TPM a couple of hours left to register at vote.nz #nzpol

A bill to criminalise severe environmental destruction has been submitted to #Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies. Deputy Veronica Martínez García's proposed legislation would amend Mexico’s Federal Criminal Code to add a new crime of #ecocide. Full story: www.stopecocide.eart... #StopEcocide

And if National wanted to do anything about our supermarkets and the cost of living they would have already, under urgency and with no consultation. So don’t believe their promises.

I urge overseas voters to vote in the early part of the voting period, to allow for complications delaying things

When political scientists first raised concerns about this new restriction last year we were told we were being ‘alarmist’ to suggest tilting the playing field unfairly like this by one party can undermine the legitimacy of the election out come for all Kiwis in a tight race I’m still ‘alarmed’…

Some idiot out there in Browns Bay in a homemade Orange Guy costume encouraging ppl to enrol before it closes tonight

The right's line this election is "why should you get to vote if you aren't organised enough to enrol". Next term, if Paul Goldsmith has any say, it'll be, why should you get to vote if you have a conviction. Or aren't a citizen. Or receive a benefit. Or don't own property. Or don't have a job.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

A real video on Family First NZ's FB page. Oh, they also laugh about how they're not all in agreement that women's suffrage was a good thing. This is the anti-choice movement in New Zealand. This is what NZ First aligns with, as Winston Peters gave an exclusive interview to Family First NZ. #nzpol

#nzpol remind everyone you meet to register (why didn’ this get more air time earlier?- if you recall the govt’s chaos strategy was to flood the zone with changes so while everyone was focused on the Fast Track legislation & Regulatory Stds this voter suppression act passed at Xmas 19 Dec 2025 😔)

An extremely powerful and fair call from @rnzrss.bsky.social Craig McCulloch The Government is quite willing to put new limits on NZ voters rights to vote but not on the time it takes them to form a government Check with friends and family and workmates - are they enrolled? #nzpol

'In the corner, his baby daughter was sleeping in her crib. She would learn to read by tracing the letters on her her mother’s tombstone and would come to write, while still a teenager, an epochal reckoning with the eternal interplay of life and death.'

"18-24-year-olds are the second-largest voting age group in Aotearoa. We've got the numbers, and the power is in our hands," campaigners said. "What if we all showed up?" 👏🙌🙏👊 #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
