Beneficiary numbers soar to 12-year high despite government's reduction promise Louise Upston vowed to "curb the surge in welfare dependency" after taking office, but the numbers are now the highest since at least 2013.

Another broken election promise
from #NAFCoalition! Cutting ppl from Jobseeker isn't the answer. There aren't enough jobs for those who need one.

Remember when Luxon first became PM and everyone was going UGH. And they tried to spin it with a "you don't know the real Luxon" bs? Well, now that we know him, he is Mr 28%

How strong is support for Christopher Luxon? We're about to find out Analysis: It's a bold prime minister who assumes the support of his entire caucus after one of his worst weeks in the job.

It's never the giant thumb's fault is it? His ego won't let him take the blame for poor poll numbers. Good because #Cluxterfcuk needs to wear a heavy election defeat in Nov #DumpNAFCoalition

Analysis: What would it take for Christopher Luxon to quit as prime minister? Analysis - One of Luxon's weaknesses has been his inability to take feedback. Another is his complete lack of self-doubt, writes Jo Moir.

So CLuxterfcuk's ego & failure to read the room or the polls mean he can't see that he's the biggest liability.

Good. Let him soldier on to defeat in Nov #DumpNAFCoalition #NZpol #PutTheNatsLast it's where they put you #OneTermGovt

National falls into the 20s in latest poll as pressure mounts on Christopher Luxon "It is not good, is it?" Winston Peters says about the poll results, while Nicola Willis says it's "not a good number".

Well ain't that a shame?

This needs to keep trend ⬇️ & be reflected in the election result. It's just what #NAFCoalition deserve.

NZers with disabilities 'expedient collateral' in cancelled pay equity deals Opinion: The Government has not just shifted the goalposts. It has taken them off the paddock entirely, writes People's Select Committee member Lynne Pillay.

'No doubt' new move-on orders for homeless will drain police resources Requiring police officers to shift rough sleepers from one place to another could see other crime work delayed or dropped, the Police Association says.

Police say they aren't resourced to deal with homeless. Criminalising homelessness is not the answer #NAFCoalition #DumpNAFCoalition #NZpol #PutTheNatsLast it's where they put you. Make them a #OneTermGovt

Government scraps its quarterly action plans The government started producing quarterly plans in April 2024, but there has been no sign of one since October.

#NAFCoalition appears to have scrapped its quarterly action plan with none released in January. They can't even stick to a plan they made up. Surely they should make the points achievable?? ##DumpNAFCoalition #NZpol #PutTheNatsLast it's where they put you #OneTermGovt

'Nakedly political': No rivals considered for Judith Collins' new job The outgoing minister was the only person considered for Law Commission president - with no recruitment process and no others candidates.

I'm sure Crusher will do a perfectly good job as head of the Law Commission. Her appointment was simply a #Cabinet tick & flick exercise as no rivals were considered #PutTheNatsLast it's where they put you #OneTermGovt #DumpNAFCoalition #NZpol

Government wants to bypass fast-track process for proposed liquefied natural gas terminal A proposed LNG terminal will bypass even the fast-track process in order to be built in time.

'Back on track' they said...

Bunch of amateur's running on the fumes of bigotry, ignorance & imagined grievance.

Remember this and every similar example next time national lies about the costs of its proposals. It's expecting you to forget so it can repeat those same lies every election cycle.

The underutilisation rate is higher than it was IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC. And it's rising.

409,000 people in NZ are either unemployed or under-employed (in casual or part-time work). Are we "fixing the basics"? #onetermgovt #nzpol

Because there has been no growth, particularly in the tax take due to increased unemployment, the country is sinking deeper & deeper into the red via government debt every single month.

#BackOnTrack? #greenshoots?

#OneTermGovt because let's #DitchThePricksIn26

Clearly those #greenshoots for "fixing the economy" are working so well for Nicola Willis and Christopher Luxon.

So cool that our "Climate Emergency Fund" has been used up by the Luxon govt to pay for tax cuts for landlords.

Not that we need it because of recent events or anything.

It's fine.
