If Erica Stanford has any sense of self preservation, she would throw this smug self-serving fail-upwards Pakeha statue guy under the bus. He has potentially wrecked her political career.

"Many Kiwis feel that the occupants of the Beehive need reining in. The executive has seized too much power, both within government and beyond it. At the same time, fringe parties are allowed to run riot, imposing unpopular measures on the electorate without their consent." - Anne Salmond

What a retiring Canadian parliamentarian thinks.
Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together.
It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences

Australian voters,
Coles and Woolworths have joined forces with Kmart and Costco to publicly support the ARA's application to the Fair Work Commission to scrap overtime, evening and weekend penalty rates, and work breaks. If this goes through it will be used as a precedent everywhere. #AusVotes2025

Rereading The Gunslinger by @stephenking.bsky.social and found this line especially apropos given what’s coming: When traitors are called heroes (or heroes traitors, he supposed in his frowning way), dark times must have fallen. Dark times, indeed. Be kind and take care of one another.

With all the NZ think tanks how many current govt departments creating policy do the NZ Iniative have their members leading those ideas being pushed? I can see their goals, briefs etc on their website and some dots are easy to join.

Clever creatives out there: we desperately need a counter social media storm to undermine Seymour/Hobson's Pledge lies right now. They're gearing up for a referendum, using the disgusting tactics seen in the Aussie 'Voice' vote. Please, please flood the zone with funny, hooky info to expose them.
We have a small yappy tail wagging the dog because the national party are too pathetic to lead, they have a weak leader and bunch of incompetent and nasty MPs who don't care what gets destroyed along the way to completing their grand plan, break all Labour built, like mean kids in a sandpit
