The government's Electoral Amendment Bill ends same-day voter enrolment, bans prisoners from voting, & allows for larger anonymous political donations.

They want to stifle your voice. Tell everyone to enrol at least 13 days before the election. #nzpol

Wow, wow, wow!

It can only be the power of pure ASPIRATION!

Three days into my aspirational odyssey and I'm racing away in the polls with my progressive friends 🚀

Never underestimate the power of positivity!

It's my aspiration to end homelessness, get more New Zealanders into their own, affordable homes and build out state houses so everyone can have a warm, dry home.

None of this is radical. All of it is possible; just ask the Greens.

Peters was always wrong on this and it's another reason why I'd not work with him.

Healthcare is best left in the hands of Drs and patients. An ideology that panders to prejudice over the welfare of young people has no place in the Drs office.

PATHA judicial review against the govt's ban on puberty blockers for trans kids granted, partly on the basis that the decision was taken on political and not medical grounds

Hey!

This saves me a job.

This waste of our money was so absurd, even the nats could see it.

Now, let's stop the tax dollars hose to charter schools, big tobacco, health privatisation, fossil fuels, roads that'll never be built...

The RoNS: “the most complex & expensive infrastructure programme in NZ’s recent history.”

A $56B programme… with a $49B shortfall. And all signs point to low-to-no-value for public money.

Given the huge public interest, why are the details being kept from the public, asks @connorsharp.bsky.social?

Crazy isn't it.

The nats are borrowing more to pay out benefits to the tens of thousands they have made unemployed than Labour did to cover people's wages and keep businesses alive.

It's time to get New Zealand working again!

#NZ Labour was a heck of a lot better- but Greens are better still.

We can, and will, do much better than this!

Remember when tens of thousands more of us had jobs?

When pay rises kept pace with inflation?

When your rights at work were stronger?

When pay equity was still on the table?

Let's get New Zealand working again! 👍
Until our cities start firing again any mention of Green Shoots or economic recovery that is nationwide is either misguided or being extremely obtuse

At the risk of being too aspirational, a government committed to setting incentives that creates a distributed energy sector like Australia is building absolutely makes enormous sense for NZ to me -

Sometimes it's hard to come to terms with the fact that some people will never really be that into you, you know like national voters.

That's why I'm staying true to Labour values and want to shout about how they can, and will (!) transform lives for the better when we win next year!

Food banks are wonderful as are the people behind them. But we can all agree that in a country as rich as ours, they shouldn't exist.

The Labour Party I lead is not only clear about it's values, but has the policies and everyday actions to bring them to life.
