Can confirm 1of200 is the most hatefulest and leftwingyist media out there.

(Seriously though their podcast is pretty good!)

I'm a materialist instead of an idealist, so I believe in “I am, therefore I think” instead of “I think, therefore I am.”

I therefore believe René was putting Descartes before the horse. #philosophyjokes

Exactly, HOW?

It would help enormously if Chippy would STFU about his potential coalition partners and talk about what he's going to do to make things better. He's as charismatic as a blancmange and I have no idea why he's still seen as the right man for the job

The most awful, cruel and clueless government ever, and yet the Left bloc are still not in front.

This is 100% down to Labour being as insipid and milquetoast in opposition as they were in (absolute) power.

I'm not holding out hope that their tax policy will be anywhere near what is needed

I wonder if his work history in the oil and gas industry has anything to do with it...

With Chippy's climate policy bonfire in 2023 after two terms of Jacinda keeping the CC Minister outside cabinet, a weak target, no new coal ban as promised, I have very little faith in Labour's commitment on climate change, esp Chippy.
This press release is more interesting for what it doesn't say.

@buzzy.nz I really suggest looking into Anat Shenker-Osorio's podcasts and articles etc, you'll see how she helped Jacinda pull it off in 6 weeks, it's super interesting.

Here's a video I made inspired by Anat Shenker-Osorio political messaging tips (wish Labour would actually listen but alas) youtu.be/4UHUg7u8Dtg?...

How to beat the Atlas Network - The power of effective messaging

Also, it's not because 6 weeks is the sweet spot, it's because their messaging strategist was top notch. youtube.com/shorts/rKocH...

Sadly Labour have abandoned almost ALL of her tips from 2023 onwards and we are seeing the consequences of that

Hipkins on Morning Report -

Q. would you commit to paying teachers more
A. waffle waffle no commitment

Q. Do you still plan to charge farmers for emissions
A. waffle waffle no commitment

He's not turning the dial on the polls despite the govt and I doubt he will.

In any case shows the Electorate is absolute cold and uninspired by Pale, Stale and Male

He has hated TPM since they started, probably because he was an advisor to Helen Clark and Trevor Mallard in the mid-2000s (around the time of the Foreshore and Seabed Act when Tariana split from Labour)

TPM & Green targeted for smearing by both the cocs and Noolabour parties .... À la the Corbyn antisemitism Scam and expulsion of all the socialists from uklabour by Herr Starmer...they are a threat
to the parties of the neoliberal
status quo i suppose....

Hipkins undermining his own possible future coalition partners (TPM again)

"They're a long way away from a constructive role in government"

I swear he's held a grudge against TPM ever since they started (him being an advisor for Clark and Mallard around the Foreshore and Seabed years) #nzpol

Uh, this system (that they fought against) is FAR less democratic and is far less democratic than ours was (look up Anne Salmond, Francis Dart Fenton)

Honouring them would require the system long before this Westminster system was imposed on us.

just a reminder that if Labour were competent they would be thrashing National in every poll; the fact they’re neck-and-neck with Nats with these widely hated destructive fools in power is an indictment; Chris Hipkins should step down and give it to someone who shows an interest in doing things

Yes but this doesn't explain why Māori disproportionately don't vote unless it implies many Māori are uniquely susceptible to manipulation compared to white people which is why they vote more than us. But this is a racist assumption.

There is something else going on as I pointed out in my post.

Acting as if it's just because impoverished Māori are naïve and being manipulated is paternalistic nonsense.

Why the fuck have RNZ in particular become so fervently anti-teacher

Across media the attacks on teachers and health care workers have increased significantly, it’s pretty wild
