#nzpol Prices for basics are rising again at a rate much faster than wages, new data from Stats NZ shows. 70% of workers got a pay rise less than 3% last year and 44% got no pay rise at all. Food prices rose 4.6% overall, with the price of white bread rising 58% this year. A 🧵
Must be pretty embarrassing for them to still be eating from the collective food chain, perhaps they should just fill up directly from the short pipe instead. 😳🙄🤦♀️ #nzpol
Jason Walls has the journalistic skill of a broken-handled toilet brush.
The absolute state of it!
We may be an ocean away, but there are many of us in Aotearoa quietly cheering on every one of you Americans who are standing up, speaking out & taking action today against your govt's latest acceleration towards full-on fascism & war. Solidarity & strength from the deep south of the planet. #nzpol
NZ Media will continue to report the heat wave as ‘Happy Days!’
Once farmers are affected, they will pivot to how the country must ‘Support its imperilled rural sector’ by giving them public money.
All NZ Media hate you.

Almost? Definitely. #nzpol
No AoNZ Government in my lifetime has made be feel ashamed, until this one.

They'll be out in 2026.
I'd like to say that all the opposition has to do is not fuck up, but the current Govt. will start a full on smear campaign in April. They've cocked up SO many times & many should have resigned in disgrace or been fired but they only apply those rules to the opposition.
We're currently being governed by a complete idiot who holds not portfolios cos 'decisions guy' - also makes no decisions but leaves that to Coalition partners. All hell bent on underfunding everything in order to sell of to their mates, wives, kids etc.
Baby Trumps.
We are little America.
You and me both. The rot is everywhere, just heaped more in some places than others.
Not for everyone but if you can go door to door espec in areas of low voter turnout (espec KO housing) and help people fill in forms on the spot, please do so. Why should we vote, they'll ask. Because this govt doesn't want you to. Your vote is your superpower.

Santa Tui! Delightful - don't hurry down the chimney tonight!
#SecretSantaAoNZ
My Santa has been SO patient. Was dog tired last night so decided appropriate celebration was called for in opening pressies. Baked the LAST round of mini Christmas Mince Pies to have with coffee and 'the opening'!
#SecretSantaAoNZ
Thanks to all the admin for running Secret Santa this year!
We're holding out breath here......
I do that all the time and never feel weird about it.😄
#SecretSantaAoNZ
One of the BEST things about Opening Day is going on a 'like' spree, the likes of which you really just don't get to do at any other time of the year!
My 'like' finger is nearly worn out and I KNOW not everyone has opened their pressies yet!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
#SecretSantaAoNZ
I have been good, I have been so very, very good that I completely forgot *at 5am this morning* to open my pressies!
Now I have to get through the enTIRE day, AND evening before I can get to them!!
All I know for sure is the very top one is deLICiously squishy!
Racist much??
We can't even learn the NAME of most of those born here!
