Why can’t people who work and tax taxes for decades in Aotearoa not get citizenship without swearing allegiance to an English King?
Particularly galling for people who arrived in NZ from places oppressed by the English.
Why do we have 🇬🇧 in our flag? @nzrepublic.bsky.social

A few months ago, Hipkins unequivocally stated they will repeal the RSB within 100 days. You won't hear it on Bluesky #nzpol

Luxon left New Zealand in the mid 90s. His view of NZ is fixed in the 80s & early 90s.
That is why he seems so ‘other worldly’.

Luxon is providing ‘welfare’ to corporate NZ in anticipation of picking up nice board roles when he does a lateral arabesque.

No work today. Good weather and good workers but chilling in smoko room and doing odd jobs in the yard. Thanks Nicola Willis. #NZPol

Nicola Willis talks to us like we’re twits

New Zealand is punching above its weight in cowardice

Winston Peters promised that New Zealand’s recognition of Palestine was a matter of 'when, not if', which has a real deadbeat-dad-promises-he’ll-have-his-shit-together-next-week air about it....

Nah, Luxon’s incompetence isn’t a predictor of future governments. Hopefully it’s an end to mediocre cis het white men stepping up and bringing us all down.
