@TrevorJ24567534 Good to have a govt that cares about education for a change

Erica Stanford: Not a qualified teacher No formal training in education (e.g. teaching degree, pedagogy qualification) No professional career in schools or teaching : “Union, principals body sceptical over NCEA replacement plans”rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

@NewstalkZB This half will get a benefit increase next week. Bet the media will keep that quiet. The media attack on the govt package is typical of their bias

Half of NZ's most vulnerable children excluded from fuel relief package newstalkzb.co.nz/news/politics/…

@NewstalkZB Only the intellectually handicapped would think that capping rents will work. Driving landlords out of the business by capping rents will reduce as supply and make more people homeless. Duh!!!

Greens promise rent-rise caps and WoFs, and tens of thousands of new public homes newstalkzb.co.nz/news/politics/…

@KiwiCraig74 I would not say that was well said at all. Men work in schools and rest homes too. Her sexism is not appealing

Andrea Vance said it best.

@gingerandmilo The young couple working with out kids got a tax cut, as did the senior couple and are way better off each week than they would have been under Labour, and beneficiaries get an increase from 1 April, hardly nothing

So a young couple working with out kids get nothing,?????a senior couple working get nothing????? beneficiary's get nothing ?????? anymore?????

@ClintVSmith Don't forget the wage increases and benefit increases coming in next week. Why do you exclude those? And why would you give relief to high income earners and millionaires like Labour did last time?

giving 50 bucks a week to 7% of families and not a cent to the other 93% is the weirdest way to spend $370m

@hellomotorbike You have received a tax cut from this Government don't forget and so you have an extra few thousand. They stopped runaway rent increases caused by last govt as well as reduced interest rates. So you are already a lot better off each week than you would have been under Labour

So the many single teachers who commute everyday to work at New Zealand's schools get nothing to alleviate rising fuel costs? Fuck, this government is stupid.

@PublicationsPro Rob Campbell is trying to spin his racist belief that Maori people should have special rights by saying not using the term race makes this belief not racist. But it is and he is

Racism must be fought against, not reconciled with newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/23/rac…

@vincristine @toddmstephenson You do realize you that there is as much inequity within Maoridom as between ethnicities? Assigning values based on race is racist.

@toddmstephenson It’s weak by you. Nurses and doctors treat everyone. With respect. Standards for the respect expected is entirely appropriate. As is understanding inequity in NZ and the cultural basis of some inequities. Your brain is very small

This is weak from the nurses' union. Of course healthcare should be delivered by professionals. But regulators should also be accountable. ACT has asked reasonable questions about the Nursing Council’s proposed rules for nurses. The Nursing Council is a statutory body set up by Parliament, with a clear mandate. It is entirely fair to ask: when regulations shift away from competence and safety, and toward enforcing equity-based worldviews, is the Nursing Council really fulfilling its mandate? And how many nurses will be dissuaded from even applying, if they’re forced to advance a worldview they don’t share? Nurses themselves are raising concerns with ACT. Everyone wants better outcomes for Māori, but good intentions don’t cut it. We need to be clear about what rules work, why they work, and whether they actually help the nurse on a busy ward do their job better. And at the end of the day, ACT will never support rules that divide patients into categories based on their background, rather than their individual circumstances. Good care comes from professional judgement, backed by evidence, focused on the person in front of you.

@toddmstephenson Nurses are the ones that need to stay in their lane here. They are imposing left wing identity politics on nurses.

@TheZeitgeistNZ Maori life expectancy has increased by 45 to 50 years since 1840 compared to a 30 year increase for European NZers. That's what colonisation has done for Maori.

This 1News story contained awful misinformation. You can’t blame Maori health outcomes on the health system being “racist against Maori” or on the impacts of “colonisation” - it’s genetic and cultural. I thought we had gotten past this woke garbage.

SOVEREIGNTY AND THE TREATY - THE REVEALING LETTER FROM THE KAIPARA CHIEFS In 1863 a group of Kaipara chiefs wrote an open letter to their local paper to reassure their Pakeha friends that they were committed to peace. youtu.be/P9iltepDTis

@rtaonui A gift is a gift. If it is true they gifted the mountain then they now have no rights to any part of it. No say in how it operates nothing. You don't give something and then claim rights to it.

Iwi gifted the maunga to the nation. The govt should front the repairs and earthquake proofing on the Chateau and give it to iwi. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/qu…

@MaximusNortius Just stop using data and they won't need it. It's all up to you.

The last thing we need in Aotearoa is facilities like this!

@UncivilLaw @MbarkCherguia It's very clear it is just the couple who went on the picnic.

@MbarkCherguia There is insufficent information to solve the problem. It is unclear how many, if any, of the sons, sisters, or babies also went for the picnic.

This is supposed to be one of the hardest problems ever to solve. Is it? Or isn’t it?

@hellomotorbike The 'rest of us' that see the value of shifting to electric according to you will all be driving electric cars already would we not?

National fail to do anything about weaning NZ of fossil fuels because they see it through the purely ideological lens of 'user pays'. The rest of us see the value to NZ in shifting to electric where possible. Killing the clean car discount was a failure of vision for them.

@saltyreigns More fool anyone who abides by them. Just ignore them.

I don’t like these rāhui’s. It capitalises on tragedy to ram a culture that isn’t ours down our throats. And if you criticise it - you are accused of being insensitive. It’s covert bullying.

@saltyreigns Good point.

I calculated the govt will be pocketing an additional NZD 600Million from the extra GST from fuel price hikes. They could provide relief if they wanted to

@rtaonui You lefties like making things harder for the poor, like making it harder to get a drink.

Timely innovation from Seymour - shitty lunches and readily available alcohol the prefect panacea for all that plagues the poor - cost of living, unemployment, poverty, homelessness, landlords, fuel costs ... WW3

@greytownbuilder Because you don't always get 8.4 kw.

Explain to me like I’m five: I’m currently getting 8.4 kW of electricity from my solar panels while only using .5kW, the rest is charging my batteries and going back to the grid (it’s a cloudy day). Why then, are we building an LNG terminal while the main LNG fields are on fire?
