Looks like the government is aiming for the Occupy Wall St strategy of denying the protestors have any message at all.

And RNZ are governmental minions, parroting this uncritically.

I don't think it's going to work here: everybody who isn't a wealthy sorted donor knows people protesting. #nzpol

Strikers' demands 'a mystery', government's top negotiator says

The Public Service Commissioner says it's regrettable major strike action is going ahead, because he's always been available to negotiate.

Solidarity with all the workers striking today! The weather may have cancelled the rally in Te-Whanganui-a-tara, but my tautoko stands! Kia kaha, we’re stronger together!! #megastrike #nzpol

A picture of solidarity, with a raised closed fist, thumb facing forward, on a green background with pink lighting symbols and a pink cloud shape. The words in pink say, I Support The Mega Strike, date 23 October 2025.

Latest weather update at 5:50pm: take care out there,
Poneke ,3
With severe wind and heavy rain warnings forecast tomorrow by MetService New Zealand please travel with caution, secure loose items around your property, take care around our coastlines and roads, and avoid parks and reserves during strong winds.
For safety reasons, all Council facilities including libraries, pools, landfill, recreation centres and community centres will be closed all of tomorrow.
Rubbish and recycling collections will go ahead at this stage, however, we recommend holding off until next week's collection if you can. Visit the Council's website for more information about facilities and services impacted by the severe weather warnings.
Here's what you need to know:
Be careful walking, cycling or driving - there could be surface flooding, debris, fallen trees, powerlines, or damaged infrastructure.
Coastal roads may be impacted by high swells - be particularly careful when driving.
.. Secure loose items around your property to prevent damage, and clear nearby sumps and gutters to prevent flooding.
Rubbish and recycling collections are planned for
tomorrow, but we recommend, waiting until next week's collections. If you have to, put rubbish and recycling bins out by 7am tomorrow (not tonight if you can avoid it), and secure the lid with a wheelie bin clip if you have one and bring in empty bins and crates immediately after collection.

Remember, if you cant attend strike action today due to weather or other factors, you can still bully the governments social media in support of workers instead.

Of course, the strikes are politically motivated!

Unions are political organisations designed to promote and defend workers' rights.

It's literally what they do!!!!!

Nz National Party X post: Today's planned strikes are unnecessary and politically motivated by the union. Workers' pay claims will only be settled by negotiation, and the Government is ready to talk.

Also worth noting that our worst paid nurses in New Zealand, the ones whose pay equity claims were thrown in the trash by this government aren't able to join the strike today. But remember that primary health care, aged care and Māori health service nurses stand in solidarity with the strike.

Let us not be mad that the weather is hobbling our attempts at #oct23strike actions, let us remember that climate change is a worker rights issue. Our health & safety in all facets of life is endangered by climate crisis. Displacement & relocation of workforces will be fueled by climate migrations

More on Brian Roche - apparently he's on a part time $650,000 contract and keeps 4 private directorships including a property investment/development company and forestry. No wonder he has no problem politicising the PSC for his benefit #nzpol #kiw

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Judith Collins aka 'Crusher' is back... 🤦‍♀️

#NzPol #Cartoon #Caricature #PoliticalCartoon #Strike #Action

Cartoon. Title: TACTICS...

Here we have the right honourable Judith Collins. Using those words only in the sense of her position in the government. She is standing upon a supersized soapbox proclaiming to the strikers and people walking by that, "UNIONS NEED TO STOP PLAYING POLITICS!" "THAT'S MY JOB!"

In the crowd four people are holding signs. The first says, 'Strike for safety and better pay!' 2nd says, 'Strike action fair pay now!' 3rd says, 'IM TIRED!' And the 4th sign says, 'IF WE ATE DOING WELL YOU ARE TOO!'

I suggest MPs' salary increases should be no higher than the lowest increase won by public servants in collective bargaining during the corresponding parliamentary term. If we can't afford to pay teachers, nurses & doctors more, then we can't afford to pay politicians more either. #NZPol

Pay bump for politicians: What you need to know

Explainer - MPs are about to get a pay bump, but is it fair and how does it compare to other countries?
