🚨NEW POLL DROPPING TOMORROW MORNING 🚨 Massive change since someone backed capping of council rates… 😏
Does the Integrity Institute have an integrity problem? Surely just a coincidence that one of the commissioned works from Newsroom is a hit piece taking aim at the govt over its interactions with lobby groups regarding changes to freshwater policy with a focus on the use of…
OIA documents show the RBNZ extended half of all OIA requests they received in the first 6 months of the year, with 25% of requests still unanswered after 40 working days.
A huge congratulations to Speaker of the House @GerryBrownleeMP who continues to lower the standards of the house every day. Faded jeans and sneakers, aka street wear, apparently meet the standards of business attire under Brownlee’s watch.
More disgusting anti-Semitic graffiti. This is on NZTA land (the Petone overpass heading to Wellington) and I have instructed the agency to remove it immediately.
Beyond reckless and with zero consequences. Why was a former employee of John Tamihere’s Waiparera Trust allowed to use a drone to film the hikio crossing the harbour bridge, despite having no prior clearances from police, @CivilAviationNZ @AklTransport or @nztamain OIA…
Folks – big trade news today, which means more jobs, higher wages, and more opportunities for all Kiwis. Thanks to the relentless work of @toddmcclaymp, our trade agreement with the UAE has officially passed into law, opening the door to a $500 billion market that imports 90%…
Te Pāti Māori’s hypocrisy on full display in the house, once again this afternoon. Rawiri Waititi strongly objecting to the killing of civilians in Gaza just weeks after praising Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso…….who oversaw the massacre of hundreds of innocent civilians.
Someone who seems to have been a well-connected insider provided me with some fairly detailed statements on some of the events around the Orr resignation. Still too many unanswered questions and incredible that Quigley is still chair. croakingcassandra.com/2025/07/22/bad…
Nearly every public sector restructure follows the same script: – PSA slams proposed cuts, including vacant roles to boost the number – Media run with the PSA figure – The agency later clarifies far fewer filled jobs are actually going e.g. a net loss of 5 filled jobs at NZDF.
Three years ago inflation was 7.3 percent per annum.
Inflation has now hit a 12-month high. Christopher Luxon promised to make the cost of living better — but he's making it worse.
This is what Labour considers scandalous inflation now, hmmmm 🧐
💸 $𝟱𝟳𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁?! Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown’s Chief of Staff, Jazz Singh, put his personal property company into liquidation - owing $570k to Inland Revenue. He never told the Council. He never told the Mayor. And now the Mayor’s top advisor…
Well done @chrisluxonmp who just nailed a frequent campaign question at the end of his presser. How much is a block of butter in NZ? Luxon said around $8.40 which is almost spot on for home brand butter. However the gallery journalist claimed it was $11 dollars. Which is true…
Two years ago concerns were being raised and questions asked about Fale Andrew Lesā, with both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ACC.
Perhaps Paula Penfold or someone from STUFF can explain why they completely ignored Matthew Tukaki’s lies about having tertiary qualifications and a CV with multiple red flags, yet are all over this. Race? Change of govt? More to come….
Hi @ElectoralCommNZ A candidates social media/posts should always include a promoter statement. Posts have already been shared on the candidates personal page, their “offical page” and by others without any statement and clearly include the Te Pāti Māori logo. Please respond…
More Labour Lies talking down our healthcare system. The facts: ✅ Nurse turnover was 14% in 2022 – it’s down to 8%. ✅ 2,100 more nurses and 600 more doctors at Health NZ since 2023. ✅ Record health investment to put patients first. Labour talk. National delivers.
Deputy PM and @actparty leader @dbseymour says well-being initiatives are great, but delivering them isn’t the job of councils. We also discuss the latest outrage of the day.
