  Are we still trusting the #TPU/Curia poll? #NZPol

  While I love that #National's ideological bias has crashed headfirst into reality, let's not forget that even the targets they've hit are bullshit: Less people in emergency housing ≠ people housed, meeting climate targets ≠ doing enough about '#ClimateChange', less people taking up elective surgery ≠ a well run #HealthSystem Jobseeker #s climbing, almost 80,000 over target | #RNZ https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politics_election-2026/1298748/pm-christopher-lux...

  When #NicolaWilis says "Beneficiaries don't need to drive to work" I assume they'll be dropping all the appointments you need to make to qualify for a benefit? #nzpol

  One of the fun things about #writing, especially #genreFiction, is your search history is like "Names meaning 'mother' ... common Welsh names... anatomically modern human first evolved? ... why is the moon moving away? ... who said 'we are the universe perceiving itself?' ... word meaning opposite of transparent..."

  I would believe our current Govt's plan is to guarantee the outcome of the fuel crisis is felt after the next election, so they can blame it on #NZLabour, relying on our short memories to achieve their long term goal of reinforcing the fallacy that "#National are good with money" But, realistically, does anyone in the current government have a plan? #nzpol #coalitionofchaos

  We all know #PublicService cuts won't help, that things will get worse, that it will ultimately cost us more. We can prove it, but #National & #Act don't care. They believe the Earth is flat & will respond accordingly. #nzpol

  Honestly, I don't have strong opinions on #localgovt, but the hypocrisy of acting like #ThreeWaters was an imminent threat to democracy, then forcing their own agenda on councils is making me crazy. #nzpol #NACTional
