“The #Iran crisis has stripped back the veneer of New Zealand’s independent foreign policy, revealing something far more compliant. The Government has, in effect, stopped speaking with an independent voice.” Got it in one @bryce_edwards #nzpol @TheElders

Saw The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm

As many know, I value cinematic accuracy.

Some complain about its “Woke” casting. But Christopher Nolan’s choice to have actors speak English rather than authentic Ancient Greek in original dactylic hexameter is what I found to be most incredulous.

just a reminder ladies and gentlemen

[Nick Young @nickofnz]

I agree the proposed location for the LNG terminal is inappropriate.

And there is no location that WOULD be.

Because #ClimateChange.

I have a visceral dislike of @chrisluxonmp and @NicolaWillisMP, not due to their lack of principles, empathy, character, low IQ, or humanity. It's the DISRESPECT that infuriates me, the gall to gaslight and lie to our faces with an expectation that we are too stupid to notice.

[Ayn Randy @AynRandy666]

Very selective "sense of humour" these ACT idiots..

"ACT Party leader David Seymour wants an apology after Māori Party co-leader Rawiri Waititi joked about poisoning Seymour with karaka berries."

Can give it, can't take it, etc 🙄 #nzpol

Three years into government and it was, and still is, and will always be "Labour's Fault".
But wait there's more, introducing "Trump's Fault", July 26 a new fault has been found.
Although sighted, felt and in plain sight daily, the elusive "National's Fault" is yet to be found.

After 970 days in power, the ghost of Labour still consumes the Govt

Campaign Observer: In a blame game without end, coalition ministers seldom miss a chance to pin the blame for, well, almost everything on the last Labour government

Hey @SimeonBrownMP try campaigning on this!

'A champion of women"? A man who took pay parity from women. A man who thinks abortion is murder.

[Clint Smith @ClintVSmith]

remember, there was already RMA replacement legislation in place when National came to power.

Rather than tweak the new law to their priorities, they ripped it up.

3 years later, their replacement is more complicated, more costly & still not passed

Ferry fiasco all over again

[Big Hairy Network @bighairynetwork]

#BHN Two things can be true at once: National ministers' response to Stuart Nash's misogynistic comments was on point, but they're also the party that cut millions in pay equity funding for women.

[Jan Renwick @nettieg3]

I do not recall any National MP or ACT MP's calling out all the vile nasty misogynist shit Jacinda had thrown at her in fact some where party to it you bloody hypocrites.

[Ko Elizabeth ahau woke af @black13830]

Luxon trying to appeal - now it's this close to the election - to the women he allowed to be mowed down over pay equity. WE'RE NOT STUPID! WE HAVE LONG MEMORIES, especially for manipulative men like you, @chrisluxonmp! @NZNationalParty

Willis on Breakfast telling us everything they've done to ease the cost of living.Yet we had a woman before her telling her people are in dire straits.She talks over Tova.
She repeats that what they are doing 'for the future' she totally ignores the fact people are suffering now

[Mauri @mauriceraiti]

If it hadn’t been for the fuel increase we’d be sitting within the inflation band says Willis but she won’t have a bar of the fact that Covid affected inflation here like it did world wide and continually blames Labour. Full of excuses says is Willis.

[Lew @LewSOS]

The packed agenda includes:
* months wasted in late 2024 and early 2025 on a fictitious Treaty Principles Bill that everyone involved agreed was going nowhere
* months wasted in 2026 on bills defining Man & Woman and making English an official language, to no substantive effect

[Maria Sherwood @MariaSherwood2]

Leave it out. Our inflation is higher than Australia, the UK etc, yet they've had the same pressures as we have had. How does that work @NicolaWillisMP? Or do we feel Trump's ire more than that do?
