This kid is hosting Q + A next year and Luxon already says he will refuse to go on it
cool timothy@dreadconquestOct 24
this young interviewer completely embarrasses christopher luxon, who tries to say the kid doesn't know the details of the move-on bill, only for the kid to come back and grill him on the details, while luxon just stammers and deflects. clip via voteotago on instagram

Brazil President Lula da Silva: “I want to say loud and clear: The Prime Minister of Israel is carrying out a GENOCIDE against women & children. This is a historical FACT.”

Why is it that TV1 can screen the NPC Final uninterrupted by commercial breaks, but the political debates are riddled with them?

I always vote on the first day. Today is the first day of voting so I went to the Wainuiomata advance voting place at the hall. It is closed. A disgrace. Along with early roll closing it is looking like the voter suppression you expect from Trump or Hungary not here in Aotearoa.

Regardless of political party support or affiliation, I think we can all agree that any government that passes a law to make it harder to enrol and vote is a bad govt.

He fails to mention that for 40 years, New Zealanders have been able to enrol right up until midnight before election day. The last two elections we could even enrol on election day. It’s a massive backwards step that many people won’t know about until they try vote.

Hard to believe anyone would vote for this patronising, bloviating fool once, but the polls are claiming there's people planning to do it a *second* time?!

So I talked to Piers Morgan for the first time. Turns out he has *very* strong opinions about a book he has not opened let alone read. Also, Peter Thiel was nice to him, ergo... youtube.com/watch?v=SMFQBQx-…

I spent this morning at Avondale Markets enrolling people to vote. Unlike previous elections there were no Elections staff present to take enrolments. And they have not been present at any previous market this year. This cannot be accidental. #NZPolitics

We already know Luxon was told November 7 was "challenging" and a "Unversity exam day" and cutting off enrolment 13 days early would hurt their ability to vote. #NZPOL

A typical petrol car doing 250km/week uses about $70 of fuel. If you charge an EV at home, even after road user charges that’s ~$2000 a year back in your pocket. More than a supermarket restructure or tax cut? Remind me, who canned the clean car discount? newsroom.co.nz/2026/10/22/th…

Comment: Every party has a plan for the supermarket aisle but none has one for the imported fuel that raises every price on the shelf, writes Kirsten Corson
