The great forgetting that NZers enjoyed months of domestic travel, holidays, economic stability while large areas of the world were dealing with hospitals collapsing, deaths, lockdowns and restrictions.
While the pathetic grifters are whining about Labour 'ignoring advice' regarding COVID, here's a quick reminder #nzpol
Advice ignored
- Smokefree Legislation
- Emissions Targets, etc
- MΔori Health Authority
- Fast-track Bill
- School Lunches
- iReX
- Landlord Tax Breaks
- Significant Natural Areas
TOP is being funded by a far, far right white supremacist.
I am very grateful for journalists like Marc Daalder. I just wish we had more like him
No. Do clickbait headlines improve public health?

It took me 5 minutes to determine that Brian Cartmell is a far right extremist with ties to white supremacists and he should be forcibly expelled from the country.

once again someone on social does 5 minutes work and reveals how incompetent/corrupt current nz media is specifically in their ability to ask questions of powerful people
Bro bro just one more inquiry bro I promise one more inquiry will show that the cookers are right please bro I promise one more just one more
While we might wish politicians wouldn't destroy the social fabric for gain, & might wish media quote the report itself to add context when repeating claims, we can at least invite those we know personally on-spreading claims to read aloud key report statements & judge politicians trustworthiness
Next Govt should have a Royal Commission into the cancellation of the ferries, just to be fair and all
Lying. Itβs lying and itβs Government Leaders - Winston, Seymour and Luxon - at the forefront of misinformation and βpost truthβ. #nzpol
Same reason too many of them are regurgitating govt lies about covid
Just keep demanding inquiries until you get a finding you can use to as a stick to beat the govt you initially not only supported but were a member of.
Not a flash look from Winston Peters First but itβll play well to the Parliament Camp cookers.

If it's not allowed to call a politician a liar in parliament why is it okay for politicians to lie? They're lying so flagrantly about the covid response that it makes Trump look reliable.
Enquiry without end
FFS. And if the third enquiry fails to satisfy the anti vax conspiracists, what then?
You donβt hear much any more about the raw sewage still pouring into Wellington harbour but itβs up to 2.5 billion litres
Not wrong!
A rare zinger from Chippy here.
National's misrepresentation of the Covid Royal Commission's findings is some of the most pathetic, dishonest, and irresponsible campaigning NZ has seen. #nzpol
The level of lying on Facebook from National over the Covid report is extreme and frightening and I hope some in the media have the guts to write about it. It's absolutely not normal and is a MASSIVE red flag for the state of democracy and political norms in the country #nzpol
And the reason I'm not going to ever be near the team is I'd hold it in the auditorium they used for the COVID briefings, and I'd have Hipkins go "Jessica, then Tova..." at the start of the Q&A.
Don't run from it, lean the fuck in to. Ignore the screaming minority, speak to the 99% who cared.
If I was anywhere near the team, I'd be getting Hipkins and Verrall out to give a media conference and refute every single National lie on camera and sing the praises of everyone in NZ who did their bit to ensure we had such an effective response. With a side order of condemning the misinformation.
You know Smithers, I don't think reminding the entire country that the Labour Government did well in extreme circumstances when the National Government is doing shite in unpressured circumstances is quite the tactical stroke of genius they thought it would be.
Latest Plan Change 120 News - Council committee voted today to adopt a set of principles to assess how to amend things given changes central govt wants. Passed basically unanimously (w some quibbles) despite a weird amendment attempt. ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/media-centre...
While you may have heard Cr Fletcher blaming City Vision's Richard Northey for the postal voting system, there was a vote last term where we decided NOT to change from postal voting to booth voting. As the sole City Vision councillor I voted FOR booth voting, and Cr Fletcher voted AGAINST boothsπ€·ββοΈ
Purportedly an NHS poster on a bus shelter outside St Thomas' Hospital, London, that says "Know your parasites" with a list that includes ticks, worms, and billionaires and the latter showing images of the Meta guy, the X guy, and the Amazon guy.
