@foxylustygrover.bsky.socialI can not stress enough as a lifelong asthmatic just how terrifying it is to a child to not be able to breathe
Asthma attacks that end in hospitalisation often come at night, waking up unable to breathe, foggy minded, befuddled. The mental trauma we are inflicting on these kids ☹️

@jezbrown.bsky.socialJust so you know, I am getting a huge number of banner ads to vote #National from overseas, including on Stuff.co.nz - They are at the top and side of screen. The vast money being pumped into this campaign should be questioned. #nzpol Those ads aren't cheap, but should papers be running them at all?

@kiwivalues.nzShould house prices come down, even if that cuts the wealth of current homeowners? Greens +0.64, OPP +0.61 and Labour +0.54 all lean yes. NZ First leans the same way, more softly. ACT and National are left off: too few answers yet. https://kiwivalues.nz/research/housing-and-cities/ 4/10 #nzpol
@robot-muldoom.bsky.socialTreasury's 2023 forecast for 2026, vs now:
Wage growth 4.0% → 2.8%
Unemployment 4.8% → 5.6%
Inflation 2.1% → 4.1%
GDP growth 3.3% → 1.6%
National promised to get the economy back on track. Three years on, it's worse than forecast on all four. Smaller pay rises, fewer jobs, dearer groceries. #nzpol
@sachadylan.bsky.socialCorrupted priorities. #NzPol

@kaputeruha.bsky.socialWellingtons ridiculous pipe bill is thanks to the TPU and its racist campaign supported by this govt that derailed Three Waters #nzpol
@foxylustygrover.bsky.socialNicola Willis just lied again about their 2023 tax cuts being funded by reprioritisation, Ingrid Hipkins tried to go after her a bit but she is just too shit really. How can this massive lie held together for 4 years? #NZPol
@robdickinson.bsky.social'I measure people by the way they treat children' Yet chooses to join ACT with Jago and seymour?
Also rates Luxon over Ardern as a leader and calls Chloe a traitor

@notjustdna.bsky.social#NZpol Reuters has a few words about NZ First -
@splakey.bsky.socialRealpolitik Winston is dumber Kissinger.
#nzpol
NZ “can continue to tacitly normalise the destruction of international law … or it can .. realign its foreign policy to deepen cooperation with other small …powers that, like New Zealand, depend on a functioning international rules-based order.”
@notjustdna.bsky.social#NZpol I see some are now playing "nine new cuts" v "no cuts" 😄
