Meanwhile, Luxon’s lot has ditched our climate resilience fund. Story here futurism.com/science-energy…

Today is Nakba Day. @EmpirePodUK is one of the only history podcasts that has bothered to explain the events at the heart of the conflict in the Middle East. Listen as Professor Eugene Rogan explains how 750,000 Palestinians were turned into refugees at the creation of Israel

@JSmithofNZ @nickofnz You have 3 followers. Perhaps you could explain to them why ‘ignoring the science’ is an opinion?

@nickofnz Believing that the NZ Govt has “ignored international law” is disingenuous, insidious BS🤡 The ICJ opinion is advisory, not binding on NZ domestic law. NZ has not formally repudiated the Paris Agreement or any climate treaties. “Ignored the science”…. that is also opinion

With its climate law change to protect polluters from legal action, the NZ government has ignored international law, the world’s highest court, our own Supreme Court and the science. They have lost all credibility.

@StevenCowan @KahurangiHippo1 Who would like to rank these individuals in order of arseholeness? It’s actually very difficult

MAIKI SHERMAN: THE VICTIM OF A POLITICAL HIT JOB nzagainstthecurrent.blogspot.com/2026/05/maiki-…

Afternoon @wesstreeting I see you’ve resigned as Health Secretary But don’t worry, I intend to continue holding you to account over child killers in our NHS even more as you run for Prime Minister Speak soon 🙂

@NZNationalParty rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

New Zealand is back on the map! 358,900 visitors came here in March 20206 - the highest March total since 2019. That means more jobs, more growth, and more money flowing through our communities. Come on in!

Absolutely nothing to be concerned about. It’s all a scheme to raise taxes and create a new world order. Leighton Smith said so and he knows his stuff bbc.co.uk/weather/articl…

@meco78526 @SimeonBrownMP I remember HduPA suggesting PM Ardern’s emotional response to the Christchurch massacre were ‘fake’

@SimeonBrownMP Did HDPA sit down with you as campaign chair to talk strategy this election

Chris Hipkins flew into Auckland today claiming he wants to “unlock Auckland”. The irony is breathtaking. This is the very man who locked Auckland down in the first place, and the Royal Commission found he did so against public health advice. Aucklanders haven’t forgotten what that meant. They remember being locked out of saying goodbye to dying family members. They remember their kids shut out of classrooms. They remember the small businesses that closed their doors for good, the elective surgeries pushed back for months, and the spike in ram raids that happened because of a soft on crime approach. Our city is still bearing those scars. Yet Hipkins had the audacity to suggest today that it’s only Newstalk ZB who ever raise the lockdowns with him. That tells Aucklanders everything they need to know. He isn’t listening, he hasn’t learned, and he seems to think a huge chunk of this city simply doesn’t count. Newstalk ZB happens to be listened to by a great many Aucklanders, and those Aucklanders are the ones he is dismissing. Hipkins owes this city an explanation, not another flying visit and another spin line.

@nickofnz Let’s hope an international organisation picks up on this

@wagyuflatiron @lorrainesplace Who’s the ‘actual journalist’?

@lorrainesplace The "journalists" on the left, having only written hit pieces, are unable to recognize an article by an actual journalist that just states facts.

What a can of worms Ani O'Brien opened with her hit on Maiki Sherman. The left and right going for each other big time. Jenna Lynch trying to get in on the action with a fucking toaster. And Ani O'Brien coming out everyday to have a cry, because "everyone is being mean to me." 😪

Breakfast..Peters using cheek and smart ass attitude to back keeping the super which we're we being told we can't afford. What we can't afford is to keep the coalition govt. The meanness, incompetence and misguided direction is next level. We're on the wrong track...they must go.

Insane how 3 deaths from Hantavirus brings more attention to Western media than Zionists killing +2,870 civilians in Lebanon.

What should concern all New Zealanders is the increasingly obvious role of smear merchants, fringe micro-bloggers pretending to be journalists, and political PR operatives in shaping public narratives and targeting journalists they see as inconvenient. Our own political warfare is no longer confined to Parliament. It is now playing out through tightly coordinated outrage campaigns and selective leaks designed to damage credibility and shift public perception ahead of the election. As Steve Abel argued he smells a rat; too many people are afraid to say it out loud, but the rise of smear campaigns inside our media landscape is becoming impossible to ignore. It should raise alarm bells when dirty political operators appear more interested in destroying individuals than debating issues openly and honestly. #nzpol

The world will remember that in the third year of carrying out the best documented genocide in history, Israel was still welcomed by the West at international events like #Eurovision West has NO morals NO integrity NO humanity

"Smith himself put it plainly: “If Parliament can cancel a live court case, then no legal claim is secure at all, once it becomes politically inconvenient.”" 5/5

Mearsheimer: ​"If Israel loses the war, it might launch a nuclear attack on Iran. There should no longer be a rogue state in the world." ​Israel must either be disarmed or abolished. The world can no longer carry this burden.

Jumping the shark -the moment where a show loses ALL credibility, it gets so outlandish the audience can no longer suspend disbelief. When script writers, desperate to maintain popularity, do something so spectacularly stupid, they cement their downfall. thespinoff.co.nz/science/14-05-…

two of the faces of Aotearoa already winding up for an assault on Arderns Book win. We can't see the rest but they're nearly always pale stale male and female racist and bigoted Boomer.

Israel’s crimes are not a "blood libel". They are documented truth.
