NewstalkZB: "Barry Soper: Is Luxon facing too much scrutiny over Middle East response?"
The NewstalkZB sub puts a question mark at the end of these headlines to try and pretend it's up for debate, but when you listen Barry just defends the govt constantly.
Like he says the media's question about carpet bombing was "preposterous" and shouldn't have been asked. Who do you work for Baz?
“Critics warn this could effectively embed U.S. surveillance capabilities into another sovereign state’s information infrastructure.”
Read this alarming article and decide whether the limited focus from NZ media on this story is acceptable given the context of US fascism and worldwide aggression.
A section of NZ treated her like shit and will continue to do so because she was a caring woman with power and they just cant cope with that simple fucking fact
They'll complain she moved to Oz, they would complain she lived in NZ

Gang profits have doubled, international organised crime strengthening their hooks, NZ has lost experienced cops, retail crime is up and often being ignored, drug use is in full blown crisis, domestic violence at 8 year highs, and the violent crime numbers are off base
#nzpol #kiwi
The reduction [in the violent crime survey] is a result of a reduction of police involvement in - and less reporting of - family violence callouts
Police were instructed to pull back from mental health & domestic violence call outs under National #nzpol

My theory is that the media still have a sulk on because Jacinda Ardern with the 1PM Covid Pressers pulled back the curtain on the press and showed us they were just a little guy with a keyboard
Didn't they hate it when they wrote an article and we were all "That isn't what she said!" #NZPol
Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a blind refugee, unable to speak English. DHS improperly detained-but finally released him
Instead of bringing him home, they dropped him miles away-without regard to his disability or notifying his family
Unable to find his way, he died on the streets of Buffalo
Alone
Kim Dotcom is not only a traitor and convicted criminal, but also a complete psycho and idiot
Good fucking morning to everybody except the ICE agents who kidnapped a blind man, realized they had no basis to deport him, and then released him five miles from his home. He died, scared and alone, just trying to find his way back to his house. That’s evil.
And who created this narrative? The fossil fuel sponsored #AtlasNetwork member (1 of 2 in NZ, and of 550+ in 100 countries) and shit-stirring propaganda unit NZTU. Here is a slide I put together during the Adern government with a sample of their social media output at the time.
The nerve it hits for me is that no doubt the family have moved to Australia because it IS NOT FKN SAFE for them in this pissant, crazy, violent, racist, misogynistic motherfuckin country.

I can't help but think that Jacinda Ardern cannot live in NZ right now because she'd be hounded by media for comment every day and every time she would be subjected to online violence and threats. That's being an overall successful woman politician #nzpol
I love how quickly New Zealand media gloss over that Jacinda Ardern is still the most popular politician according to polls measuring favourability, and she always was as Prime Minister as well which was always contrary to the dominant gallery narrative that she had become a figure of division
President Trump claimed he inherited a "stagnant economy" and it's now "roaring like never before." Growth in 2025, 2.2%, was lower than in every single year of the Biden administration.
Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's Ambassador to the US, has said she received an official warning from Washington over Ukrainian strikes on Russia's port of Novorossiysk, which allegedly affected certain American-linked investments routed through Kazakhstan.

"I don't take advice".
Well, there's a great big surprise.
Perhaps if luxon did take a little real advice, his tenure as PM wouldn't be the disastrous rock show it has been...?

National has finally admitted they have only built 45 new public houses, despite Christopher Luxon's claim they have built 7000 since they came into office. "Chris Bishop has finally admitted only 45 social houses have been built by his government," Labour Housing spokesperson Kieran McAnulty said.
"Perhaps he may want to inform Christopher Luxon who said yesterday in the House that 7000 homes had been built. "His admission today more than rules out Nicola Willis' promise of building 1000 new houses a year in Auckland. In fact it's the opposite in our biggest city as Kainga Ora has cancelled 1527 houses.
Important context as National implements a set of incredibly cruel #MoveOnOrders against the unhoused in nz:
Just 45 houses had been built by National by August 2025.
Yes, you heard that right. Only *45*
Luxon promised 7000, Willis said 1000/yr.
Bishop has delivered 45, total.

8 visits to Kremlin.
0 visits to Kyiv.
I do not swear (at least not in public), but $%#@*.
This defies all the values that NZers used to hold dear.
😢😭💔
Know the bar isn't that high, but this ranks as one of most heartless & gutless of recent policy moves.

BTW it makes little economic sense either.

WE CAN NOT COEXIST WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK RAPING CHILDREN IS ACCEPTABLE.
Winston Peters is receiving Super while also getting a high salary. Is he double dipping?? How is it OK for him, but not OK for ppl who have been injured or abused? #NZPol
One problem with this National, ACT & NZ First government is that they penny pinch on millions for school lunches or welfare, but happily spend billions on inconsequential tax cuts for individuals, massive tax cuts for landlords, or roads
#nzpol
The RW in New Zealand is trying to get there, too…
But Luxon is a boring corporate dickhead, Peters only appeals to white women over 60 & is losing his mind, & 8% David has the charisma of 3 month old fish’n’chip grease, likes chatting to tweens, & has no issues with Pedos in his party… 🤷♂️
