@jeffcthomson It was fantastic!

Would love to attend the event. Also, it’s becoming clear, five years on, that this is all these groups have in their lives. nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/da…

@SimeonBrownMP Someone’s worried! 😂 Goodbye National ☠️

All we heard from Chris Hipkins on Q+A this morning was more of the same. He’s a man without a plan, full of spin and talking points, and he isn’t being upfront with Kiwis. Remember when Chris Hipkins and Labour promised no new taxes, then slapped us with the ute tax, the app tax, and a long list of others? Remember when they vowed to build 100,000 homes through KiwiBuild and delivered an abysmal fraction of that? Remember when they told us they had a plan for the cost of living, and instead we got 30-year high inflation, soaring interest rates, and families going backwards? Who knows what he’ll do this time. On Q+A, Hipkins called his GP visits policy “targeted”, yet it hands someone on a $300,000 salary like himself three free visits a year. That’s not targeted. That’s Chris Hipkins looking after Chris Hipkins. Not once did he mention his capital gains tax. That silence speaks volumes. Under a Labour-Greens-Te Pāti Māori Government, they’ll tax your house, your wealth, and everything else you’ve worked so hard for. Hipkins just doesn’t want you to hear it from him. He then spent two thirds of the interview dodging questions on fees free, refusing to tell Kiwis whether he’d bring it back, while happily defending $1 million a day being spent on students getting diplomas in things like DJ-ing, scuba diving, and yoga. He’s the man without a plan, with no new ideas and nothing to offer the families working hard to get ahead. National has spent the past two and a half years fixing the basics and building the future. To keep gang patches out of sight, a capital gains tax out of mind, and the focus firmly on growing jobs and the economy, Party Vote National on 7 November.

Um does New Zealand First know that they don’t have to buy back the BNZ because Kiwibank exists now

Haha the ‘protest’ wasn’t very impressive hahaha

Moving from RUNWAY to MODE - hello again Ugly Betty!

Admit it... we all wanted Arnold's room when we were younger

Funny to think the govt spent ANOTHER $30 million on a second Covid-19 Royal Commission to try to nail Labour, and all they got was this Lowest death rates, positive health outcomes overall, & Ministers who did well & prudently under a rapidly evolving situation.

@marlborozanov vm.tiktok.com/ZNRGB72hq/ she has a few videos explaining how they shot everything cause she spoke to the camera operator

“Work Bitch” se tornou um single monumental na discografia da Britney Spears, e seu videoclipe só reforça ainda mais esse impacto. Veja na íntegra um pouco dos bastidores desse single simplesmente icônico.

@Tiare_MP New graphics would have been iconic. Enjoyed the set change this week tho!

Huh 1 News updated its set. Looks great, especially that desk! Shame the graphics still suck.

The left is averaging 2% behind the coalition in the polls. If one in fifty Kiwis switch from National to Labour in the next six months, it's curtains for the government. 83% chance of re-election seems a tad high.

How it feels to fall asleep drunk. 😭😂

@SimeonBrownMP You bore me with your excuses

The Labour Party is so devoid of ideas that it cannot form a position on Chris Hipkins’ own Fees Free policy. Fees Free was an expensive failed experiment, funded by hardworking Kiwi taxpayers. When Chris Hipkins introduced Fees Free in 2018, he promised it would increase tertiary participation and help more students from disadvantaged backgrounds into study. Instead, taxpayers spent nearly $2 billion on a policy that failed to deliver either outcome. Even when the evidence shows a policy is failing, Labour still cannot bring itself to walk away from wasteful spending. It could not be clearer that Labour has not learnt a thing and continue to see Kiwi taxpayers as bottomless ATMs. Fees Free was a policy Chris Hipkins led, implemented, and championed in government. The fact he cannot say whether he supports it today is deeply embarrassing. It is hard to find a track record as perfect at illustrating Labour’s failure to deliver for New Zealanders than Chris Hipkins’ time as education minister. His management of our schools led to plunging achievement and soaring levels of truancy, while his management of the Polytech sector became an expensive mess. Not content with not delivering in government, Chris Hipkins has taken to not delivering in opposition – unable to even deliver a position on a policy he himself introduced.

@liamvincent26 Fucking New Plymouth

A brand new wing of my local hospital with state-of-the-art facilities just opened and people in the local FB page comments are moaning about it having a Māori name and being blessed by local Iwi. Perfect summation of 2026 New Zealand.

@ClintVSmith It is very strange

given National's not going to govern for a 2nd term without NZF, why bother to campaign on raising the super age? you get to bleed voters to NZF for 6 months and then, at best, give Peters a win in the coalition negotiations.

Nice new look 1News!

You know, there are two things that Kiwis absolutely can't stand: 1) Lack of a fair go 2) Arrogance #nzpol

What Maiki did was bad, but the likes of Soper, etc. probably did stuff at least as bad as Maiki repeatedly and are still in a job after many decades lmfao

Luxon told us exactly who he was the moment he used his luxury car service to drive him 100m to work from his apartment across the road. Entitled. Uncharitable. In it for the perks.
