A first time MP in 2020 told me when all the new MPs were being shown how everything worked in parliament Luxon behaved incredibly arrogantly and clearly thought he was too important to do an orientation course with all the other new MPs. He hasn’t improved #nzpol

'I want to sounds smart and inspirational': How ministers use AI Most ministers say they don't use AI – but those who do use it for speechwriting, research, drafting questions to officials and generating images. Marc Daalder reports.

Over summer, I OIA'd every minister for their AI chat logs.

Here's what I found:

TVNZ board chair rang senior minister to discuss negative coverage Justice minister won't reveal exactly what the public broadcaster's board chair said, while police minister doubles down on concerns about bias.

Right-wing commentators were *obsessed* with what they fancied was the former Labour govt's control of the media. Yet now we have what looks like direct political interference with reporting that ministers didn't like. Far out. newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/04/t...

Barry Soper: "Is Luxon facing too much scrutiny over the Middle East situation?"

Dunno, why don't you ask the folk who insist on multiple Covid Response Inquiries?

When you let it happen to your water Aotearoa NZ, at that moment the taxpayers lose control of their asset.

Dont let it happen here

Ironic how most of the most hardline "law and order" types are the same ones who want New Zealand and the USA to ignore international laws

It appears that their real preference is not law & order, but to be judge, jury and executioner based on personal reckons & whims

Real talk: I *want* Chris Hipkins (or whoever leads Labour going into the election, no shade) to be our next Prime Minister, but I *need* him (etc) to be PM of a government that materially changes NZ's trajectory, with policies and narrative that move us AWAY from the late stage capitalist hellscape
