Is this is why Simeon, Luxon, Seymour, Peters et al are going nuts on shxtposting Labour & non-stop ads? - their internal polling showing how grim it is for them..? 🀞🀞
"The National Party has dropped below 25 percent in the latest RNZ-Reid Research poll, while Opportunity has reached a new high and could decide the next government." RNZ-Reid Research poll: National below disastrous 2020 result; Opportunity surges share.google/StEUhaoCcc826QU…

It was Labour that ran 9 consecutive surpluses, paid down debt & started Super/KiwiSaver before Key left $60b debt. Ardern ran surplus until Covid. The debt fearmongering is off: Germany, Singapore, Belgium all run high debt Brown also backs Health NZ hiding health privatsation $

80% of $3 billion tax payers dollars allocated to health , that’s $2.4 billion was given to private health care in this last term of government. No wonder everything is falling apart. People dying in ER, on the street. Kids can’t get their cancer drugs on time. #natbastards

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.
Luxon on the campaign trail today, last day to enrol in NZ election: "Kiws are twice as smart as Australians so I'm sure we can manage, I'm sure we can get enrolled 13 days before an election." (Australians voting in federal elections have to enrol at least 26 days before)

Someone asked me today if Luxon has ever sacked a Minister. No, you can call hard working Kiwis "losers" call other MPs "stupid bitches", hide your 25 rentals from disclosure, sprout racism and lies, obstruct OIAs, and all you will get is warm praise from Prime Minister Luxon.

"Only 2yrs ago politicians were feigning bipartisan empathy as the Royal Commission into Abuse in Care report was tabled in Parliament, telling victims they’d been heard. "Now? They’ve made a subset of those victims a political smear. Powerful story. newsroom.co.nz/2026/10/25/aa…

"Amid political concerns about Kāinga Ora selling off housing in the shadow of the election, a Mt Albert home on track to be 50th state house sold this yr along with 36 other state housing units." In total, more than 750 homes in past 12mths & 200 more are on the market!! 😳😑

"For social housing tenants promised some of the 1000s of new, warm, dry homes that the Govt has now indefinitely paused, the sell-off of these houses is worrying. β€œNobody should be selling something so close to an election,” says MP Helen White. "Decisions that can’t be unmade.”
