IT'S FEBRUARY 2026.

THE RAIL ENABLED HYUNDAI FERRIES FOR I REX WERE MEANT TO ARRIVE BY NOW.

Instead we have no rail enabled ferries, the two we have are clunky as fuck, and there will be no replacement ferries until 2029 at the earliest.

Seymour wants to fuck over the hard working people of New Zealand so his mates can exploit its workers for a more profit.
It's disgusting. Sink this bill, sink his rotten party. You know he was pushing to block equal pay for equal work. Hard to imagine anything worse the National.

Winston Peters tells Waitangi there's "a major event coming" in a "troubled world" and #NZ had better get with the new world order "right now" or regret it.
While media chases after shadows with Henare, Peters is selling a clear prediction & threat - should be of interest. #nzpol

Once again wondering if there will ever be any accountability for the Nats breaking immigration rules to give Peter Fucking Thiel nz citizenship.

It’s a stain on our nation and worse, he can just come and live here any time.

Ask the PM if he supports Citizen Thiel. Get him on the fucking record.

If a union affiliated with NZ Labour (or the CTU, which National and ACT lie about being Labour affiliates) was hosting a high-profile Epstein associate on a speaking tour of NZ it would be the only story for weeks

Remember their reaction to Benjamin Doyle having a slightly naughty Instagram handle
It’s clear since the Tim Jago ACT President was charged & convicted of multiple counts of child abuse, that the money behind ACT protects Seymour, the Party & astroturf organisations from proper scrutiny in the media. Can you imagine if a Labour Leader had run interference for a paedophile?

I used to work at the UN for the disaster risk reduction, the champions of these prevention efforts were the storm and cyclone battered Southeast Asian and Carribean states in the peak climate-change zone who had learned the hard way. It’s FAFO time for NZ.
NZ has fallen into a 'crisis and response' pattern on climate disaster, experts say. Billions have been spent on storm recovery since 2023, while key climate adaptation funding and planning tools have been cut.
