If poverty is the main driver of crime, why don’t we financially support the families who see crime as the only way up? There is NO UP.
It’s all just life.

This is borderline criminal when the result is critical harm to kiwi lives & in some cases even causing death.
Literally it’s putting “profit” over the lives of millions of kiwi citizens. 🤬 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

Absolutely unacceptable given rising unemployment overall + losing plane after plane of good people offshore!

“In 2023, a $10 million government grant was earmarked to develop a renewable energy system.”

I can’t help but wonder how much better off kiwis would be by now, if we hadn’t elected a govt more interested in supporting foreign oil/gas company profit margins over the public good. 🤨🙄 #nzpol

The NZ Labour Party must provide hope to, and inspire, a generation of people.

If the policy options it will finalise at this weekend’s conference don’t do that, don’t provide a radical alternative and sense of optimism, people will continue to leave Aotearoa in droves.
Captures the mood of much of the country under this government - bleak, with a sense that everything is broken, that there is no opportunity for young people to get ahead, and that the government simply doesn't care.

Am I going nuts? In what world is an OCR cut a sign of a thriving economy? It's done to reduce the cost of credit in order to stimulate an economy.

again, any other government doing this would not have had a moments rest from nz media, their public lives made almost impossible and been hounded out of government

this coalition is being given the most cover and support, maybe in nz history, by media and institutions
I do not know off the top of head what is in the oath an incoming government makes to the Governor General, but it seems like passing legislation you actually think is bad should be some kind of breach of it

So, Mr Hipkins, now would be a REALLY GOOD TIME to state for the record that a coalition with National or ACT or NZ 1st is off the table. If that isn't made very clear there will be many people like me who will change their party vote.

Dear NZ Labour,

Everyone hates National right now, and a big part of that is their coalition with ACT and NZF, so I'd suggest you get very on board with the Greens and hope that you don't need to touch Seymour or Peters with the shitty end of a very long stick.
