I must say, my day's research into Jacinda Arden's Covid behaviour has left me with one overriding impression - What an absolutely horrible grinning little psycho she is!

Ardern's government added over $100 billion of debt and Hipkins piled almost $25 billion on top, per the Taxpayers' Union. Now he wants the keys back to fix it. Why would you hand them the card again?

READ: aniobrien.substack.com/p/the… Empathy is a much less impressive quality when it is reliably doled out to one’s friends and totally absent for those who don’t not pass ideological tests.

Electorate voting Nat & party voting for Act or NZ1 is actually helping National stay be in govt. Not in the same position as they are now, no, but still in Govt. A bad day in charge is better than 100 good days in opposition The only people who refuse to see or acknowledge that are the Nats themselves. @theplatform_nz @kaiviti_cam

🚩Winston Peters “We will lose the election and NZ will be finished if National voters don’t split their vote” - Pleads for Luxon to find sanity. This morning on Hosking WP bluntly calls for voters to give their party vote to either NZF or Act to stop “seriously bad communists ruining the country” a party vote for National is a wasted vote, it will be ineffective!” “The PM is caught in a trap all of his own making” Luxon is finished even if the coalition hangs onto government - and he seems determined to run NZ off a cliff by asking for two ticks. I think WP and Seymour should have a joint presser and urge centre right voters to split their vote - we are beyond letting Luxon’s ridiculousness continue, he needs to be put in the pincer grip to come to his senses - these are his two coalition partners for goodness sakes! Winston Peters is battling to save NZ Luxon is battling to save face.

I don’t know who to credit for this, but.. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

I can’t fucking believe The Warehouse is closing at 10pm this Xmas Eve Traditionally, they stayed open until midnight Guess my kids aren’t getting any presents this year

There seems to be some confusion amongst some people, so I will explain it as clearly as I can: Australia’s sex discrimination act was created for women, on the basis of our sex. When it was enacted in 1984 (ominous year, in hindsight) employment was a big part of it. There was a part of the act, section 7D, that allowed “special measures” where things exclusively for women weren’t even classed as discrimination, basically when it was being a woman is what actually mattered in the situation. Specific employment/opportunity provisions and… woman-only spaces fell/fall into this category. In 2013, the Gillard amendments introduced “gender identity” while taking the definitions of woman & man out of the act. Sex was never defined, but in a normal world it didn’t have to be. It could only have meant one thing (a mistake, again in hindsight). By the time the trans absurdity hit fever pitch, Australian institutions were captured. This included those meant to be the custodians of the SDA. Suddenly, all they cared about was “gender identity” aka transgender ideology. When the Tickle v Giggle case came along, it started with an Australian Human Rights Commission complaint. To settle it, aka not have it advance to federal court, I was expected to just agree with transgender ideology. I don’t. I wish I could say I completely understood the magnitude at the time, but it’s almost impossible to. You think you do, but you don’t really until it hits you like a bus. But what I did know, instinctively, was that if I folded, I couldn’t live with it, nor would it help because all it signaled was that “we” would just accept it if threatened. I found myself in a position to challenge the absurdity, and I did, because I knew not doing it would have been worse no matter what. Obviously, everyone knows now, the courts ruled against me in every way they could. From what a woman is, to 7D, to damages. I lost - and have lost - everything. But what does it mean to everyone else in reality? It means the sex discrimination commissioner told the court that the ordinary meaning of woman includes men who claim to be women, and the court accepted that. Men who claim to be women are women in Australia, via the only legislation they have to validate it. It means that for every aspect of the SDA, per the SDC’s demand, woman includes men who claim to be women. From employment to women only spaces to pregnancy protections, because of section 7D. Did we warn about this in our court submissions and arguments? Yes. That was actually our entire case. You can read it. It’s all publicly available. The high court said that we would have no possibility of success. We were arguing that women is adult human female and this matters in, tada, section 7D. That was it. The high court said “hell no way”. The high court is captured too. As it stands, due to legal precedent, a special measure for women based on sex does not provide a defense to gender identity discrimination. That means that all special measures for women fall to gender identity, which will only be used by men who claim to be women, and includes - tada - employment, and women only spaces. It means that men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women, while simultaneously taking away our rights. I don’t know how many more times I could say the “Tickle v Giggle” case is about more than “just” one app, I’ve been saying it for almost 5 years, but I will continue to do it until everyone understands. They wiped women’s rights off the map. It’s a f—ing mess. It doesn’t work. It’s incoherent. It’s ideological. It writes women out of law. It’s corruption. It’s totalitarian. It’s bullsh-t. It’s the test of any government: are you ok with legislating a lie?

Can someone ask Hipkins how he can say stopping gang funding didn’t come to cabinet when he opposed stopping it?

Serious questions need to be asked regarding a contract previously awarded to an organisation run by a sitting Labour MP’s wife. OIA documents now confirm that Oranga Tamariki (OT) awarded a nearly $5 million, three-year contract to the Manukau Urban Māori Authority (MUMA), the organisation led by Tania Rangiheuea, wife of senior Labour MP Willie Jackson, without even receiving a business case. OT treated a thank-you letter from Rangiheuea as the “business case” but the letter was thanking then CEO, Chappie Te Kani, for the offer of funding he had already made. When asked under the OIA for any record of that offer, OT said it could not find one and refused the request under section 18(e) because the document does not exist or cannot be found. It gets worse. OT’s own funding team was bypassed and the deal was agreed at CEO level, only afterwards did staff raise concerns about budget double counting and social worker rates that did not match existing contracts. The budget was only “indicative” because MUMA had not even reviewed the files, it had no beds for half the youth and there was no competitive process. The only performance “KPIs” listed are simply: “Provide some recent examples of results being achieved with clients, in particular improving outcomes for tamariki Mãori and their whänau (eg changes in skills, knowledge, attitude, behaviour, or circumstances). If relevant, use a case study.” - there are no targets or measurable outcomes listed for a multi million dollar taxpayer funded contract. This is a no-bid, high-value contract awarded to an organisation led by a Labour MP’s wife, with no locatable starting offer or business case, no proper funding review, soft narrative reporting, no targets, baselines, or verifiable outcomes and budget problems spotted only after the decision to award the contract had been made. This is particularly concerning as both Chris Hipkins and Willie Jackson are now promoting significant devolution of services to Māori, which will mean even less oversight.

BREAKING: Adults in the house, a child dead, and nobody talking? Not anymore. National will make staying silent about a child's killing a crime with up to 10 years in prison, so those responsible face the consequences.

If “Finance Minister Chloe Swarbrick” doesn’t scare the ever loving shit out of you then you’re either a moron or a psychopath.

So can someone help me out with this. Chris Hipkins is complaining that @NZNationalParty hasn't done enough to fix the financial mess that was left by the last government. Who headed that last Government? 1news.co.nz/2026/09/29/full-…
