Oh boy if you do nothing else today have a look at Q&A at about the 9.30am mark. He gives the PM the biggest serve about refusing to go on the show. It's now 17 months that the PM has been to scared to go on Q&A. 🙄

Just tell Jack Tame I’m unavailable. @chrisluxonmp @jacktame

Just a reminder a 5-year-old boy in a bunny hat spent more time in jail than any billionaire pedophile on Epstein's client list

The budget for the replacement replacement ferries is blowing out because it was political theatre, not a real cost estimate for the project government decided to allocate $1.9b without actual costings, because $1.9b + the $600m for canning iReX is less than iReX's $3b price tag

The party that wants to fuck over employee rights! Remember this when you head to the polls this year! David, you’re a complete cunt and have it coming to you! @dbseymour @BrookevanVelden

Just talking to daughter in Melbourne. They've got free public transport, petrol subsidies, road user charge subsidies, the government's organised extra fuel from Asia. New Zealand? Nothing. Zilch. Nada. The government doesn't give a stuff.

Imagine being able to catch a train from Tauranga to Hamilton. Is it really too fucking much to ask? We can barely get a train from Hamilton to Auckland. Yes, that fucking dumb, New Zealand!

In 1981, Jimmy Carter walked out of the White House. He had been the most powerful man in the world. Leader of the United States. Commander-in-Chief. A man with access to anything, anywhere. Then suddenly, it was over. Most former presidents take a different path. Million-dollar speeches. Book deals. Private jets. A life far removed from ordinary people. Carter didn’t do that. He went home. Back to Plains, Georgia. A small town. No spotlight. No luxury lifestyle. And then he did something almost no one expected. He picked up a hammer. With Habitat for Humanity, Carter started building houses for people who couldn’t afford one. Not posing for photos. Not supervising. Working. Sweating under the sun. Carrying wood. Hammering nails. Side by side with volunteers. Year after year. Into his 70s. Into his 80s. Even into his 90s. This wasn’t a one-time gesture. He helped build and repair thousands of homes across the world. The same man who once sat behind the most powerful desk on Earth was now on rooftops, fixing homes for strangers. No cameras needed. No applause required. While others chased wealth after power, Carter chose something else. Service. He lived longer than any U.S. president in history. Long enough for people to look back and realize something simple. Power didn’t define him. What he did after power did. And in a world where leaders often take, he kept giving. Story based on historical records. This post is for educational purposes.

@NZNationalParty Let’s see the proof. Start by releasing the Uffindell report and properly holding Barbara Kuriger responsible for her abuse of power, bullying & harassment of MPI staff. Then move on to the multiple Bat MPs who have “failed to declare” & Goldsmith who broke the damn law.

The United States Healthcare system is designed to steal every penny away from you, and then let you die. "But I have insurance." No tf you don't - they're in on it too.

If the objective was to get kids to school and up the attendance Chippy was on the money. If you offered a kid a chicken burger or that bullshit that Seymour’s serving up I’m pretty sure I know what they’re going to choose. Epic fail @dbseymour

I hope that the sensible people in America, the real quiet majority look at this thread and see what we have to deal with in the upcoming elections. Too many people although they're getting the crap beat out of them by Trump's policies still don't see or acknowledge the harm they're causing the country. They're blinded by the smoke and mirrors act of a man who speaks just like them. If there’s any hope of fixing this country, we have to be as diligent and committed to truth as they are to falsehood.

The volume of people who don't accept facts, don't research, accept lies from unreliable sources such as Trump, Faux News and pro-Trump podcasters is a very sad testament to how far America has falling on the intellectual scale globally. When a event such as J6 was televised, and Trump is seen making statements that clearly showed his involvement, they reject what their eyes see and listen to the lies declaring what you see didn't happen. The subsequent chants that the Democrats did it completes the delusion. They fail to acknowledge the Right's claim that Trump's innocent because he wasn't charged is false. It's due to Trump's taking advantage of a SCOTUS that he made pro-conservative, a DOJ that for political reasons didn't pursue adjudication. The rise of the ignorant signals unfortunately, the crumbling of America as the predominant nation, educationally, morally, and intellectually. We are now seen on the world stage as lost and confused. Sadly, Trump supporters don't care. They can't see the forest because of the trees. Trump is destroying the America that once was the envy of the world, but they don't see it nor can they understand the significance of what it once meant to be great.

Sadly, Joe Walsh is spot on and absolutely correct! 😢

The CRL is a rational answer to transporting people in a big city. However it was opposed by all the usual right wing suspects. It took concerted campaigning by so many civil society orgs to get it going. Its opening is a great victory for people power 1news.co.nz/2026/05/03/crl…

This loser, what a joke of a PM, worst ever...

Pope Leo’s message to Trump ain’t subtle. The Pope just appointed a former undocumented immigrant, Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, as the new Bishop of West Virginia. Same day, he named Rev. Robert Boxie auxiliary bishop of Washington. A Howard University chaplain who’s been clear: Trump’s attacks on DEI are a dangerous “regression” in the fight for racial equality.

This backward, unintelligent, white supremacist way of thinking has no place in Aotearoa NZ. Bilingualism enhances our brains. It’s time we said no to this racist bullshit once and for all.

Luxon won't be on Q & A today as hes on a junket to Singapore hiding from the real journalists asking tough questions.
