Christopher Luxon has implied that a junior staffer met major polluters and received submissions urging him to sink Mike Smith’s bid to hold them to account. But it was his Chief Policy Advisor.

More fishy than a bait shop https://t.co/i7W28KFo4g via @thestandard

"Two of the country’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters drafted, in actual statutory language, the law they wanted Parliament to pass. They printed it out. They walked it into the Prime Minister’s office."

[Paul Le Comte Toitū Te Tiriti @five15design]

Nothing to see just the Prime Minister & Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand threatening NZ journalists within 24 hrs of each other. We are $1 shop America

‘More than $1 million in political donations linked to fast-tracked projects…since 2022.
An RNZ analysis of the latest donation data reveals $400,000 was donated to National and NZ First in 2025 from people or entities linked to fast-track projects. Labour received $8620.’

Law written by corporations to benefit corporations not New Zealand.

[henry cooke @henrycooke]

The climate law the Government introduced to stop people suing large emitters is near-identical to a written suggestion from two large emitters. But the Government says it has no record of any such note.

Upston is entitled to her entitlements just like her entitled leader bleeding the taxpayer with his entitlements.
Vote them out in 2026.

Labour/Greens really need to shutdown the Luxon/Willis narrative about " we inherited a mess" ,"...but the previous administration", "wasteful spending" themes.
Willis has increased the debt by over $100bn along with the interest costs on that debt.

144 NZ Police Officers left for Australia in the last year

National offered a worse pay offer than Labour in 2024, forced police into arbitration & removed water cooling stations

Many have left

Gang numbers now exceed police, while gang profits double under National

[Mountain_Tui @Mountain_Tui]

NZ Government pushes ahead with disestablishing the Ministry of Environment despite 99% opposition during Select Committee & strong opposition from Labour & Greens.

Lan: "This government is pushing to bury that Ministry inside a mega-ministry focused on development & growth"

[Richard Hills @RichardHills_]

I don’t like KiwiSaver tinkering.

National already.
- axed the $1000 kickstart
- removed $521 a year in govt contributions
- taxed employer contributions
- added the $40pa fee

ACT want to remove the remaining $521.

These changes drastically change your retirement savings.

David Seymour & Chris Penk over-rule OIO advice to NOT sell 3 South Otago farms to foreign investors

This is the corruption I've been warning about since 2024. While the parties fear monger-over Indians, they are selling your country & prosperity to the highest foreign bidder

[Sue Pugmire @HuiaSue]

Remember when #NZ had a policy to stop a new generation #smoking? It was working so well the #tobacco companies found political parties & politicians without integrity open to bribes #Seymour #nzfirst #Costello #Bishop #ACT #National #peters #AtlasNetwork

National had $4bn to fix temporary pot holes for 3 years, but didn't have $1.4b more to future proof hybrid, top shelf Cook Strait ferries for the next 20-30 years that we would have had by now

Think about that.

What I'd just say to you is, yes Todd & I have sold NZ down the river, but on a positive note it won't be our problem when you have to pay the price.

• $4bn for roads
• $3bn for landlords
• $12bn in tax cuts
• $300m tax breaks for Phillip Morris Tobacco
• $153m for private charter schools
• $80m for Seymour's Ministry of Regulation
• $1.9b for a mega prison
• $2b in addition interest.
And those ferries $?b

[Kapiti @kapiti_coaster]

If only we had 3 Waters.
But no, National drove a disinformation election campaign & ditched the initiative when they got into power, at our cost.

[Danny Thorn @fsc_nz]

There MUST BE accountability for Nicki No Votes, No Boats actions in her appalling mishandling of the economy. We need legislation to be able to prosecute politicians who lie, who are utterly incompetent at their jobs. I want to see Neo-Liberal Economics outlawed in NZ!

[John O'Connell @jdpoc]

This is the latest group of paedophiles jailed in the UK, in Somerset.

What do you notice different about these people?

Yes. You guessed it. The case was not given 24/7 coverage by the media.

[Russel Norman @RusselNorman]

The NZ Govt just spent the last two years introducing policies to make NZ more dependent on fossil fuels, and proudly overturning policies that were reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Now they have some Mickey Mouse national fuel plan. What a joke.
