I commute to work by bus at peak fare hours every weekday. This costs $33.9 a week. This has increased my more than double due to National both abolishing the under-25 discount and directing councils they need to charge higher bus fares. This costs me way more than my tax cut was

Dr. Abu Safiya has been arbitrarily detained for over 6 months by Israeli authorities. He has been subjected to abuse and other ill-treatment. Act now and call for his immediate and unconditional release.

Personally I love it when the government works very hard to keep massive law changes a secret and then retrospectively releases all the information about it at 8.34pm on a Thursday rnz.co.nz/news/political…

Another masterful performance by our government. Open an FBI office, remain silent on Israel, kiss Trump’s ass and get stung with an extra billion dollars in tariffs on our goods.

“In emails/briefings, ministers & their staff acknowledged their plans would bypass public scrutiny, extinguish existing claims & potentially breach people's rights”, but proceeded anyway 2 override #payequity claims impacting lower paid NZ women adversely rnz.co.nz/news/political…

The ticketing rort. Not included in new payment fee law. ".. a $35.10 ticket to Disney on Ice has a handling fee of $8.50, a levy of $4.95, an infrastructure charge of 68c, taking the total to $49.23." "The surcharges add 40% to the original price." newsroom.co.nz/2025/07/29/ban…

They keep saying 'once you get to know him, you'll like him' voters have known him for years. more they see, less they like A lot of it, I think, comes down to him parroting BS rote lines & insisting everything is rosy. It insults voters' intelligence nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/na…

What next! Toll booths on road to Mt Cook & at entrance to Tongariro Crossing for international tourists who already pay a lot to get to & travel in NZ & also pay a visitor levy already? More commercial exploitation of conservation land? Desperate stuff: rnz.co.nz/news/political…

The world is in a complete and utter mess, on every level, due to insane, incompetent, and just evil leadership, and the manipulation by billionaires/oligarchs, pulling the strings of politicians. It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to say anything constructive. 1/🧵

TripAdvisor 2030: NZ not what I expected 😞 You can't swim in the rivers, trust the tapwater, or breathe the air in the cities. You have to pay to take a walk in the hills! Oh, and the cars, OMG! Downtown is chok full of cast offs from the clean countries I should have visited!

We had 6 years to fix the 9yr mess Jon Key left. Jon Key built no houses, he stole money from the pockets of the working person. As a businesses owner, the Key govt nearly ran us out of business, the last Labour govt saved us, because everyday people had money to spend. Gone now.

Christopher Luxon National has NEVER been the party of strong economic management. The facts & data prove that. Why lie when we can all access the information?
