very good to hear that the opportunity doesn't accept donations with strings attached (as far as this person knows)
Left column = not ready to govern
Right column = ready to govern
it's become really fucking blatant now
(but it's been the overt rightwing media strategy in NZ for at least a decade)
They never should have rolled Bridges. He was probably going to lose, but not by any more than the alternatives. He was the only option to bridge the gap between factions without being stupid enough to trip over his own feet.
why is there no bafta Discourse on blue sky what is the point of a wokescold platform at moments like this
thank you christoph luxon for getting nz back on crack
Almost a century since Keynes predicted the 15 hour work week. All we get from establishment media & political parties is telling us we will have to work until we die.
People with moderate ideas to actually improve workers lives (like this) are thoroughly marginalised.
taking 1 for the team by being sexist about willis in the week before the election through tears & gritted teeth
Boil notices will manifest as a series of disasters tasted through empathy with imagination that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one drinking it
house prices should go up for house owners & down for non house owners
Ok but is that good or bad? If we could see previous % increases it would mean something
1200 S2E181 - Cuba and Venezuela
Dr Josephine Varghese and @krkelly.bsky.social chat about her participation at the 60th anniversary of the Tricontinental Conference in Havana Cuba, during which the US strike on Venezuela and the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president happened.
People often talk about politics podcast people being alt right or problematic, meanwhile this is the top 5 in nz. All performing establishment sensible centrism in unreconstructed 2015 style.
1/200 S2E180 - 70 Million Litres of Untreated Wastewater
The coalition have heavily signaled 2026 campaign approaches
NZ infrastructure is on its last legs and there’s no overt push to bring that into a national conversation.

you can't bloody say anything any more without the politically correct brigade cracking down & i hope the @freespedchunoin use their marketing funding to start a fund for him
guy who only reads headlines voice: imagine how bad the stats would be if erica stampfart didn't fix education last year
you didn't have to agree with her but the national party of judith collins would never have acted like the national party of today
it's anti scandi discrimination 🤌
Everyone remembers this rousing chant from 2020:
'George Floyd should have been tried in criminal court for counterfeiting, what has *happened* is illegal'
heart warming: watching conservatives letting liberals borrow the 'He Was No Angel' banners when it's international law instead of domestic
“Grok says” - you might as well be quoting a Magic 8-Ball, what the fuck is wrong with you
oh and it was a decade of offending at least, by the way...
what the FUCK does a 'good character' discount even MEAN in this scenario??
many are calling this the most inspiring & reassuring campaign launch of all time
'The thing about me is, 2 years ago when I promised things, they were lies. And the government I was in lied for years about what we would accomplish. But next time will be different' ✊ #Labour2026
Here it is!!
With significant work from one of our contributors we're soft-relaunching the 1/200 newsletter this summer
Includes a round-up of links for progressive articles AND what we hope will become a more substantive "gig guide" of upcoming protests, strikes and petitions
Please share!
Hoping that we'll soon be bringing everyone a weekly round-up of critical reporting, actions and campaigns for a progressive NZ audience
It's been a massive gap in the media ecosystem for a while, and we've talked about it for years but not had the capacity/resource to deliver
Watch this space
I don't think it's unlikely the centre right will win again. I'm just suggesting the correlation isn't very meaningful. If I were a National MP with an electorae I'd be taking my chances, but not because of that historical pattern
That's true re PM rolled, but surely the causation is more like to go the other way around.
Wow thank you Deb that is the highest compliment I can imagine 🙏
