Three Nations

@OpinionistNZ 😂 the former PM defended Winston! Clearly this means he’s going with labour even though he’s ruled them out again And again And again And again ….and again…. …Fml and again… And you’re still stupidly keeping your head in the sand and refusing to listen

Winston is going with Labour.

@NZNationalParty When are you guys going to apologise for lying ? And explain your post that was fact checked against YOUR OWN agreement a community noted. Disgraceful traitors

@the_salty_one_ If you split the vote you give power to Greens and TPM Winston peters and NZF are the only ones who are advocating against the India FTA and 20 years ago winston warned about the immigration issue and for 20 years everyone’s just waved him off.

Who should lead the Restore New Zealand political party? An NZ party that reflects the values of the UK party, that is needed to balance the far left and centre options we have now?

@DDevries20541 @sanguine211 @the_salty_one_ It was a OIA request. Not a leak. Did you even read the articles about it?

@sanguine211 @the_salty_one_ How else would you explain the leak about Luxon's position on the Iran war?

@DDevries20541 @sanguine211 @the_salty_one_ He many times does Winston need to say that they’re not going with Labour? How many times? He’s been abundantly clear he will not be going with labour ACT on the other hand support the Indian FTA will has 11 immigration channels with no caps

@sanguine211 @the_salty_one_ Nzfirst is actively positioning themselves for a deal with Labour. If you don't mind terribly, I'll stick with ACT.

@kominsens Unlikely with sheep farmers given they’ve done more for the wool industry than any other government has in years And oh The owners of those industries know that they’ve been f’d over by national with this deal. It is shithouse and it’ll fuck them in the future and they know it

Winston has now lost the votes of Indians All other non white migrants Sheep farmers and likely all farmers Foresters Winemakers Kiwi and Apple growers Wives and grandmothers of all of the above He hasn’t done the numbers

@leastracistdog Friend of mine is a roadside mechanic He’s told me they’re the worst. They demand discounts, say he lied about price, say they’re calling the cops and then they try to drive off Now he gets payment upfront before doing any work. Too many times he’s been f’d over by them

Me: "It will be $89.52 a month sir." Indian: "ok, i will pay da 70 dolla" Me: "No sir, it is $89.52 a month." Indian: "ok, can you plz explain coverage again." Me: *explains for 20 minutes* Indian: "ok, i am ready to pay da 70 dolla" Me: 😠

@2ETEKA It’s a pathetic attack line that reeks of desperation when they have nothing to offer kiwis except a shithouse FTA They can keep gaslighting kiwis over it but it’s not working Even the Australians think it’s shithouse and hate it as it’s a back door to their country

@ThreeNationss Yep the tart who got upset at people mentioning her Olympic ozempic binge started that line. Tina Nixon longtime grifter for National was just on the Platform saying that Willis is right and backed up her attack line.

🚩Former Senior National Minister : “I talk to a lot of people in my electorate, and I KNOW they are long time National MEMBERS, and they are telling me.. I cannot vote for National anymore, I just can’t, so I’m voting Peters he’s representing the way we feel” “Nicola Willis has just been incredible, what is she doing? attacking NZ First as racist, she just makes no sense. They are panicking and they are haemorrhaging.. Peters is accumulating votes by the day.” National is going to be turned inside out.

@SimonRAnderson TPB wouldn’t work because a successive government could repeal - or amend - the bill and redefine the principles Otherwise a court case spearheaded by TPM and other pro treaty lawyers would’ve seen the principles be re-defined by some woke judge

Remember that time Kiwis elected a National-led government to restore democracy and repeal co-governance Apartheid? Then they killed the Treaty Principles Bill and weaseled co-governance and climate communism into trade agreements to prevent any repeal of domestic legislation?

1/ You’ve heard about the 5,000 reserved visas. You’ve heard about the uncapped student channel. You haven’t heard about this bombshell. The floodgates are opened. 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 labelled as “Specialists” - no cap, no labour market test, and no future NZ government can wind it back without India’s permission. Annex 8K defines a “Specialist” as anyone with “advanced trade, technical or professional skills.” That covers a McDonald’s franchise manager just as easily as a software engineer. Pretty much any standard job ticks the box. What's more, Immigration NZ doesn't define "Specialists", Indian companies self-define their own roles.

@2ETEKA This is beyond embarrassing

🚩 Todd McClay just fell apart on Sean’s show, and Luxon’s dodgy Indian deal has descended into farce. ⚫️ He does not know how UNDRIP & Paris clauses got into the agreement ⚫️ He cannot say who put it In ⚫️ He says not to worry about it ⚫️ He then says we cannot amend or remove the clauses ⚫️ He says he couldn’t release the deal details before it was signed - as was too busy ⚫️ He says while it’s going to parliament with Labours and Acts support it’s basically a done deal What a mess. Listen to this Turkey talking himself into knots. While over in India he’s obviously picked up a bad case of verbal diarrhoea.

The disastrous India NZ FTA affirms the Paris Accords.... so I guess @nzfirst are LITERALLY the only ones serious about pulling out of it... everyone else is affirming it. Disgraceful

It's not “race-based scaremongering” to defend your country and your peoples' interests and frankly maybe some politicians should take note of that and actually listen to Kiwis 🙄 Thank God @nzfirst is listening. Join today: nzfirst.nz/join

There has been a lot of commentary since the FTA was released around the ludicrous immigration implications and the USD$20 billion investment commitment over the next 15 years from NZ into India. But what also needs to be highlighted is the fact that there is a clause in the agreement which acknowledges and affirms New Zealand’s obligations to UNDRIP - this is the UN Declaration of Indigenous Rights which spawned He Puapua. It also includes a specific clause about the Treaty which states “nothing in this agreement shall preclude the adoption by New Zealand of measures it deems necessary to accord more favourable treatment to Maori in respect of matters covered by this agreement”. This whole FTA is a clear compromise of principles and values for the obsession of ‘getting a deal done’. We are standing up for New Zealand’s future and our principles and not supporting an agreement that will sell our country out for a handful of beans.

@_Jyggalag_ What’s the point? There’s no garbage disposal or trash pickups. You clean it’ll probably end up being blown back anyway. Where else is it going to go? Granted - it would’ve been interesting to see scrappers for cans and junk metal, but also remember everyone is barely educated

One of my least favorite things about the 3D Fallout games is how buildings where people live and work are absolutely filthy with trash and rubble everywhere. Why? Have people forgotten how to clean?

@ElDistopista There’s a fallout 3 mod for this and it has strong Metro 2033 vibes Otherwise it would be interesting to see - the remains of law and order and national guard trying to restore some order, people trying to get into vaults, looters and rioters ect.

Idea para spinoff de Fallout: Fallout 2077. No empiezas 200 años después, empiezas el 23 de octubre de 2077, justo cuando van a caer las bombas, sobrevives de milagro y después te toca buscarte la vida en medio de lo quede. El ambiente sería mucho más hostil, los niveles de radiación más altos y habría que buscar comida y bebida de manera activa mientras luchas o cooperas con quién quede vivo. Un survival puro, mucho más crudo. ¿Lo jugaríais?

@TheEbonyMaw Fun fact when they put out the casting call for people with long hair and knew how to ride horses (bonus if you bring a horse) they had a bunch of blonde women show up So they put helmets on them and fake beards so technically she rode to war with women 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just saw some tweet saying the Riders of Rohan in LOTR should’ve had women in it. When she was told that this would damage Eowyn’s character arc, she said the plot should’ve been changed & Eowyn should’ve had a scene where she led a charge of female warriors into battle.

@TheZeitgeistNZ $20 billion USD $34 billion NZD If you’re going by to quote numbers then quote them correctly - don’t be misleading It’s on average $2.4bn per year To put that into perspective - that’s $200m more than our entire foreign aid budget

3. NZ’s $20 billion investment in India. Claim: NZ is required to invest $20 billion in India over 15 years, which is unrealistic, and if it fails, it will be subject to a “clawback” scheme. Reality: True, but the clawback scheme refers to temporarily removing trade access, NOT having to fork over $20 billion of taxpayers money. And even then, this is after an extensive government-to-government consultation process where NZ has the opportunity to ask for a 3-year grace period. India would have to restore the trade concessions after the target was met. As a last resort, NZ could just ditch the trade agreement.

🧵 India FTA analysis thread. 1. Student Visas Claim: “The FTA includes “uncapped” student visas - we’re going to be swamped by Indian students!” Reality: We’re not allowed to put a specific cap on the number of students from India, but we never did that anyway, and we can still reduce student numbers through tighter student visa criteria, an overall cap on the number of students from all countries, or many other types of non-discriminatory policy measure.
