Maybe create a productive economy instead of hand-holding a destructive rental market?

Stop selling our industries / firms off, just to watch the income go to offshore "aSsEt ManAgEmENT" firms?

look, when the Privacy Commisioner has "strong concerns" about the impacts of giving the police mass surveilance powers the bill should go no further.

but, we know with this govt that won't stop it from being rushed through quietly hoping nobody will notice.

i mean this is just the way this government does things. how many "rushed through under urgency" has this government invoked, with not a single one of them actually being "urgent" and warranting the rushing through without the oversight and scrutiny needed.

To call your own colleagues "moaners" is disrespectful.

In any other business that attitude, those disparaging comments would be frowned at with written warnings for crossing over the line and airing issues publicly.

But of course Luxon knows this as he ran an airline.

#nzpol


Luxon has 47 other National MPs he doesnt even recognize those thought senior enough to be ministers

Think about that, he hasnt deemed their own MPs important enough to take the time to learn who they are

Talk about strong team...

"This issue has already cost the left one election. If you fail to acknowledge this it will lose you more."

It wasn't lack of support from TURFs (it's just fascism) that lost Labour the election.

BTW This is what it looks like when a politician stands up for the wider inclusive community⬇⬇

Because yes, underneath all the bullshit TURF tropes that have been refuted time & time again, IT IS JUST FASCISM, the "patterns are the same"(Watch the video below ⬇⬇)
Look over this gentleman's replies on Bluesky, he is a serial offender in terms of spreading TURF anti-trans disinformation.

Isolate the lie:
"... Police here have no reported cases of women being assaulted in toilets or changing rooms by trans women. That matches with research done in the US ..."

It's very hard to pin the blame on Luxon when so many share the same arrogant confidence borne of absolute incompetence.
This is the Dunning-Kruger Party, a shabby bunch of dull  puppets selected and managed by ACT to run a party that is little more than a branding alternative for ACT policy.

Did anyone try telling the National Caucus they just need to get to know Christopher Luxon? #NZPol


There's been almost weekly death and destruction from climate change this year in NZ but our press are still more interested in political gossip.

Yes, we can focus on two things at once but we're getting the ratios wrong at a terrible cost to our future #nzpol


WHERE is it circulating RNZ? WHERE was it posted? WHERE did Jones appear? Why should that platform matter, profoundly, for any critical appreciation of what he said? What has that platform seeded, and spread with regards to what Jones noted, and how? What's he signalling, to whom, & why? #nzpol


Doesn't want to be a Prime Minister though #nzpol


So Gerry was needed to break a tie!?!? I mean why else was he there, he's not an MP and doesn't usually sit in on leadership meetings.

So much for "i have the full support of my caucus". Chris is so out of touch that he's out of touch with his own caucus, backbenchers and ushers.

Look. What I say to you is this.

I'm so crap, I had to ask my own MPs if they think I'm any good. They clearly don't think so, hence the need for a vote, but they couldn't think of anyone better, so I won.

That should give the electorate all the confidence it needs to vote National.

I suppose Chris is going back to his Waiheke Bunker to avoid the media.

Next scoop, Woman's Day.
What its like to be an embattled Prime Minister by Christopher Luxon.

This just in courtesy of @privateeyenews.bsky.social: an exclusive image from Christopher Luxon's interview to become an NZ National Party MP.

If Winnie thinks straight, he will pull his coalition support. NZFirst is up in the polls and they will get support from National voters who hate Luxon and Willis. Snap election time.

Of course he's still PM.

Why think Mr "Rich and sorted" of "bottomfeeders" infamy would actually *listen* to anyone *else* about *his* I Give Myself 10 Stars as the PM-ist of ALL PM'S job?

The real problem, of course, is a vote at all, and at *this* stage. Prob be even more arrogant now 🤮

The only reason luxon survived the confidence vote is because all the people who might replace him hate each other.

#nzpol #onetermgovernment


One of the pressing major issues is the Peters’ Party dishing out racism emboldening racists to attack NZers that aren’t white and/or are recent immigrants. Let’s deal with that. Winston could resign along with Jones and that’s fixed that major issue. #nzpol


The Prime Minister thinks the matter is closed. So naive! Politics is not the corporate world. He is a dead man walking. #nzpol


love the way NZ @greens.org.nz MPs use SM to communicate to young & old, #nzpol geeks & *non-voters* alike. complex issues are demystified, distilled. motivation, focus & hope are offered. 🟢 MPs take what truly matters, seriously. (they can also be very funny & sassy af. have to go to IG for that 🤣)


the text that @tamathapaul @greens.org.nz posted with the clip above:

"New Zealanders: we are being hit by constant severe weather events & we have no money or jobs & petrol is $4 a litre.

Govt: how about we remove the treaty across every law to fix that?"

#ToitūTeTiriti 💥"NEXT FEW WEEKS"💥 #nzpol


"Kuwait invokes ‘force majeure’ on its fuel, allowing it to forfeit delivery to NZ’s refined fuel suppliers"

Neat development #nzpol


#NZpol

So that's nice. Now, about assurances Luxon is "across all the details", I expect something about this to come up shortly, along with the "expertly managed, with a lot of phone calls made" plan to mitigate it, yes?

You can do this any time now Chris.

Seriously, up to you.

Any time.

Any.

Another missive from Suze Wilson (@suzewilson.bsky.social ).
"Can a political leader make themselves, or be made, more authentic, relatable and “one of us”? Or in the process, do they simply risk being seen as inauthentic for not being themselves?"

How about for a start just not doing evil?
#nzpol


It's official. He's embattled. #nzpol


Luxon has kept his Christian fascist mates close and the more reasonable, politically skilled MPs have been sidelined/demoted… 😬

I can’t see this ending well!!

Luxon says he's laser focused on mortgages & education; not political maneuvres.
But it's the highly political, constant, ideologically-driven attacks on Te Tiriti that his govt will be remembered for. +inaction in fuel & climate crises. #nzpol

My take on why I think #Luxon is still a dead man walking, regardless of the caucus vote:

Luxon will be the undoing of the Nats and the Coalition.

I’m such a good leader look…
I’ll call a vote to show you upstart journalists how solid I am.

Also just STFU ok.. I’m your CEO remember.

“Funding for resilience needs to not be a 'marketing exercise': Luxon”

When our 6pm news (largely watched by older viewers) fails to point out what this govt has done to plunge us into a far worse situation re; climate resilience/adaptation, it is a total failure of the 4th estate. Imho. #nzpol


FYI. Winston & Seymour ask out of order supplementary questions whenever Luxon is drowning.
Today Luxon only had Bishop & Seymour to provide supplementary question support when he was drowning.
Winston has flipped into "Luxon's only the PM because of me" mode.💩💩🥚

Catching up on the ole Bluesky feed after work and it's 50% posts about the batshit crazy Orioles game and 50% posts about Luxon surviving the confidence vote. My feed contains (two) multitudes. #birdland #nzpol


Interestingly, these are nearly all MPs whose bad behaviour Luxon has ignored or defended. Bedleg Sam, Kuriger and the cows, No Properties Bailey, and standover guy van der Molen 🤔 (no I have no clue what it means)

Preaching to the choir on here I think, but this is important. Share it with people in your life that are less terminally online.

And encourage them to register and *vote*.

We won’t survive if we continue as we are.

Very notable,
“One of Luxon’s weaknesses in the top job has been his inability to take feedback from colleagues, staff or officials […] Another Achilles’ heel is Luxon’s complete lack of self-doubt.”
