If @SimeonBrownMP actually cared about wait times he wouldn't be penny pinching off our hard working nurses, who are paid on average 22% less than their counterparts in Australia. #nzpol.

Thousands of New Zealanders who are already waiting too long for care will now wait even longer because the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) Union has decided to strike again in September. 🧵.

The next election will be a landslide if the @NZNationalParty can't turn this around. #nzpol. 'Only 30% of the National Party’s own voters rated its performance on household costs as good, while 31% said it had done a poor job and 35% were unsure.'.

This stinks of a @nzpolice cover-up to protect the government. @MarkMitchellMP should have been immediately informed about Michael Forbes as a matter of protocol. Deputy Commissioner Tania Kura should lose her job for trying to keep this secret. #nzpol.

Police escalated allegations about Michael Forbes to its leadership, but told him the "onus was on him" to inform his employer.

Your claims on teacher pay don't add up, @JudithCollinsMP @EricaStanfordMP. CPI is 2.7% & rising, yet you offer just 1%/yr for 3 yrs? Your insultingly low offer is neither fair nor reasonable. Voters back fair pay for our educators. So should you. #nzpol.

18,000 construction sector jobs lost since the @NZNationalParty were elected, and Housing Minister @cjsbishop says any effect of cutting and pausing over $20 billion worth of infrastructure projects was “really on the margins”. Yeah right! #nzpol.

Erica Stanford personally banning most Māori words in new junior reading books makes it clear that the @NZNationalParty is trying to stop people speaking te reo Māori again. #Racism #nzpol.

The paper showed the decision was driven by concern Māori words were confusing for children learning to read English though evidence of that was mixed.

How are these cuts making the NZDF "a credible, combat-capable force," @JudithCollinsMP? #nzpol. “If our military isn't able to participate in training exercises. It undermines their ability to perform both here and overseas.".

U.S. immigration has illegally detained two New Zealand citizens for three week's and @winstonpeters, as Foreign Affairs Minister, appears to know nothing about it. If a left wing MP showed such incompetence, the MSM wouldn't shut up about it. #nzpol.

What rubbish! Overseas prices aren't driving up NZ production costs and Kiwi consumers shouldn't be competing with other countries for our own food. Besides, most suppliers are on fixed contracts, so there shouldn't be comparative price increases. #nzpol.

Who in their right mind looks at Donald Trump and thinks he's been a success? The United State's foreign policies and current tariffs regime are unmitigated disasters that will take decades to repair. #nzpol.

Unless council's want to seize numerous properties from people who're in rates arrears, increasing rates so even rich suburbs can't service these payments is pointless. Rates should be set at amounts even pensioners can afford to pay. #nzpol.

The @NZNationalParty’s shameful decision to scrap the census will hide the true scale of homelessness in NZ. Without accurate data, the housing crisis will never be addressed. We need the census to count the vulnerable and drive workable solutions. #nzpol.
