Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Brynn Neilson recently unmasked as the cosplaying kaumātua behind the controversial @MatuaKahurangi Substack and X accounts, has suffered a humiliating defeat in his bid for a seat on the InternetNZ Board at tonight’s AGM, securing a mere 15 votes out of a possible 2,785.

Game over, Brynn.

I need your support right now with safety and legal costs, and a human rights fighting fund. I need help with moving, security, extra living, and legal costs. We are also establishing a human rights legal fighting fund.

For those of you wondering where Paul Thistoll vanished to — fear not. He muttered “I may be some time” and wandered off in the direction of a long lunch.

Last seen begging Sharon for some butter while waiting to use the toaster.

No wonder he needs help👇🏼

The right to free speech does not shield any of us from the social consequences or public scrutiny that may follow from expressing our opinions in the town square. Sounds awfully like she could use a refresher on the BOR — and a crash course on civic responsibility.

Hope he remembered to take his binky with him!

📍 Couldn’t let this little gem escape everyone’s attention — Simeon Brown tries and fails epically to land a clever insult, and ends up having to do the walk of shame after Speaker Gerry Brownlee decides he’s had enough of his shit for one day and unceremoniously kicks him out of the House.

Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki has denounced all other religions, rainbow community & media during his unhinged downtown Auckland rally today. This attempt to set fire to a symbol representing the mainstream media is a metaphor for his broader failure to rally support from the wider public.

⚡️Oh wow, a showdown of the gods is happening in downtown Auckland tomorrow. Sounds like Avengers: Endgame meets Destiny Church.

Will there be thunderbolts? Will Brian Tamaki be summoning fire from the sky with a wave of his divine hand? Shall we all bring marshmallows—y’know, for the fire?⚡️

🔥 You may have already heard, Jacinda Ardern wrote a book. It’s a #1 bestseller in Aotearoa, #1 on Amazon AU, #3 in the UK, and is also a NYT bestseller.

Here’s hubby Clark Gayford with an update on the books success and a special thank you to all her supporters.

One could almost be forgiven for thinking National’s latest slide in the polls is nothing more than mid-term turbulence. Instead, it’s a vote of no confidence in Luxon’s weak leadership, as voters continue to walk away from a tone-deaf coalition that’s long on promises and short on delivering them.

💸 And just like that, it takes less than three minutes for Chantelle Baker to validate last weeks High Court decision ordering her to cough up a $100,000 bond to keep her defamation case against Stuff alive.

⚠️ What the indoctrination of Destiny Church youth looks like in real time.

This clip shows young members of it’s Radical Youth arm immersed in a highly controlled environment, one that discourages the outside world and embeds Brian Tamaki’s teachings, fostering blind loyalty to their ‘Apostle’.

David Seymour debated at the prestigious Oxford Union, and lost In front of bright minds, including Noam Chomsky’s daughter, the bow tie-clad deputy PM opposed the moot “No One Can Be Illegal on Stolen Land”. At first he was nervous, but then his imposter syndrome...

“The Post took a quick straw poll of the crowd post-debate to ask who they thought the best speaker was. Seymour came out zero to seven”

☎️ Wait, there’s now a hotline for reporting road cones?

Here’s Māori TikTok creator The Conchurversial Kuzzie putting PM Christopher Luxon’s declaration of war on traffic cones into perspective, using his trademark humour and bite to ask where the governments priorities really lie.
