@DAaronovitch @BellaWallerstei @EducationNotTax Open up their facilities to those that don't pay for them. Scholarships for those from underprivileged backgrounds? What do you mean?

“I think people who work hard and aspire to have a private education for their kids should have that freedom.” Rishi was right. If only we had a government which believed in aspiration and success

@NZNationalParty Russia 17.1 km2, followed by Canada, China, USA, Brazil and Australia. India 3.29 km2.

New Zealand’s Free Trade Agreement with India will reduce or eliminate tariffs on 95% of exports to India, the world’s largest country. It means we can sell more of what we’re great at to India. Things like kiwifruit, apples, lamb, fish, wine, wool, honey, avocados and more. It means more jobs on farms and orchards, more money coming into local communities, and more opportunities for Kiwis to get ahead.

@MikeNewZ_ @NZNationalParty @grok #apostrophe

@NZNationalParty India has removed tariffs on 57% of items immediately New Zealand has removed tariffs on 100% of item’s immediately We have to wait for the rest. Is that right @grok ?

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

@Sewsinical @bobmccoskrienz Because parliament is sovereign. You’re welcome.

@bobmccoskrienz How can a referendum - the will of the people - be non-binding? Our politicians lie to us with no consequence. They sell off national assets against our best interests and secretly take instruction from the crooked UN/WEF. Make them personally liable for their actions, like us.

Brian Tamaki wants less MPs in parliament, so he's launched a petition for a Citizens’ Initiated Referendum (CIR) to reduce the number of MPs from 120 to 65. Do you agree and think this is good for our nation? #familyfirstnz #election2026

@SimeonBrownMP Fewer not less

Awful politics from Labour. Despite NZ’s fuel stocks remaining within normal levels, they are continuing their scaremongering campaign regarding a serious issue. Labour has purposefully omitted the fact that an additional 25 days of diesel is also on its way to New Zealand. Fluctuations are normal as ships come and go, and fuel levels are roughly the same as they were a month ago. Kiwis deserve better than a Labour Party actively catastrophising an issue and putting unnecessary fear in the minds of Kiwi families.

@actparty No man is an Island even unto himself.

You can be the master of your own life. That's what we stand for.

@CadeCad84010759 @SimeonBrownMP

@SimeonBrownMP You don't rob someone to pay for someone else's bill as its called theft. This is the socialist way and the NZ Green Party have massively exploded this into communication

Labour’s Ute Tax was actually taxing hard working farmers and tradies who didn’t have alternatives while subsidising wealthy people to buy EV’s. All while Labour lumped a 11.5c per litre tax on fuel in Auckland. Labour loves taxes!

@Major7Rob @Boenau

@Boenau Here's the fly in your logical ointment. Other than taking kids to school, there ARE NO 1 mile car trips. Hell, even the Costco is a 10 minute drive. And I'm not taking my 6' 15 year older to high school on my bike, bro.

One-mile car trips in suburbia could be easy bicycle trips. The key is making physical space for people to safely ride bikes without being squeezed by 50MPH car traffic.

@AMAZlNGNATURE Sic transit gloria mundi

A tree that size is hundreds of years old at least. How can you destroy such a beautiful tree 😠😓

If the EU is as great as everyone says it is… why did the UK leave it? 🤔

@ElliotIkilei Split infinitive; poor English

Very quick message from me today. It has been a massive day, but I wanted to update you on the exciting news. First of all, if you signed our petition to make English an official language of New Zealand I want to personally thank you. Your support helps send a clear and unmistakable message: New Zealanders value unity, equality, and the bedrock of shared communication that holds our nation together. If you didn't, don't worry, your support is still valued! And remember at anytime you can visit our campaigns page to sign petitions, send messages to politicians, and get involved in our work. As I said, today was an important day. I had the privilege of representing Hobson's Pledge at Parliament to handover your signatures on the English Language petition and speak with politicians about our vision for a united and equal New Zealand. It was energising to see how strongly this vision resonates with our leaders. NZ First Deputy Leader Shane Jones and I talked at length about the causes we share. I appreciate the party’s willingness to stand alongside the thousands who signed their names to our petition. Walking out of Parliament, I felt genuinely optimistic. This petition is not just sitting on someone’s desk, it is being discussed, taken seriously, and positioned to make an impact. And that is because of supporters like you. Thank you again for standing with Hobson’s Pledge as we continue to advocate for equal rights, equal citizenship, and one law for all. He iwi tahi tātou. We are one people. Elliot

@NZNationalParty Truth is it’s getting worse

Hustling on the world stage and delivering new trade deals is a key part of National’s economic plan to deliver growth, jobs and higher wages, so Kiwis can get ahead.

@Baledwyr @RichardHills_ @Tiare_MP You’re right. Should pedestrianise the rest. Good call.

@RichardHills_ @Tiare_MP You know you - can - have greenery without reclaiming half of the road for cycle ways, Richard? 🙂

RT to scare opponents of the Golden Mile

woah its happening

@HobsonsPledgeNZ School is singular not plural. That’s the value of an education.

We just heard from a teacher from an Auckland school who are required to say a karakia before EVERY lesson. They have 10 Māori students in the whole school. This is religious zealotry that we wouldn't accept from Christians, Muslims, or Buddhists.

@mangonui08 Commentators wonder why turnout is so low at local elections. If Councils have no power why would people vote?

I told you that we would dismantle Regional Councils , no more anti mining, no more hapu excessiveness, no more climate exaggeration. Grow our economy…

@kiwiinarizona @NoDolly9265 @saltyreigns Representative democracy means all eligible voters have had their opportunity. Sovereignty resides with parliament transferred by the electorate.

@Sheen2Simon @NoDolly9265 @saltyreigns Imposing these dual linguistic signs and the forced feeding of often confected transliterated Maori place names are dramatic policy changes that no NZ voter has ever had a chance to vote on….because if they did, the proposals would fail miserably. They been sneaked in by decree

That’s actually insulting

@kiwiinarizona @NoDolly9265 @saltyreigns ‘….without the democratic consent of the governed…’ please explain.

@Sheen2Simon @NoDolly9265 @saltyreigns The one spoken by 98% of the population, the other 2% and somehow the 2% commandeer, without the democratic consent of the governed, equal space with the 98%. This is the very definition of virtue signaling

@Basedtradesman @SimonRAnderson Hmmm you’ve missed the point. Crass insults are not clever, quite the contrary. The object is to be quietly amusing. Over to you.

@Sheen2Simon @SimonRAnderson

Auckland Ferry fatigue.
