We are now in the opening days of what may be the decisive war to determine either the survival of the Iranian state or the expulsion of the US from the Arab lands.
Attorney-General Judith Collins today announced the appointment of incoming Solicitor-General Anna Adams as King’s Counsel. The rank of King’s Counsel recognises outstanding contributions to the legal profession and to law, across a wide variety of practice areas. “It is appropriate that the Solicitor-General as the junior Law Officer of the Crown, be appointed as King’s Counsel,” Ms Collins says. “Ms Adams is an exceptional lawyer and a leader in the profession. She is widely respected for he

National/ACT/NZ First: Labour ministers didn't take official advice they didn't see into account when keeping Auckland in lockdown for the last week. Also them: We're going to ignore all this official advice because we don't like it. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol
I posted this photo a few days ago, and then deleted it because surely it’s so cringe that it must be fake. But no, turns out it’s real. Who even are these people? And where’s their self-respect? #nzpol

They're all career politicians and none of them want to helm the party heading into the impending shipwreck that is the next election, where it's guaranteed whoever's leading will "retire" after a thrashing the likes of which has not been seen since 2020. It's a game of "hot potato". #nzpol

AP reports: A former Army National Guard member who had spent eight years in prison for attempting to aid the Islamic State opened fire on a classroom at Virginia’s Old Dominion University on Thursday before ROTC students subdued and killed him, authorities said.

The latest data from Oranga Tamariki has shown significant improvement in performance against vital targets, leading to safer children and communities. Minister for Children Karen Chhour has refocused Oranga Tamariki on what matters most, the care and protection of children. This commonsense approach is bearing fruit, with Oranga Tamariki making strong progress against Ministerial and Government priorities in Quarter One. “97% of children in care were visited by a social worker within the tar

I'm a woman, aged 55-64, and with European ethnicity. I have Level 1 qualifications, own my home with a mortgage, and live in a rural/remote area. I voted for National in 2023. I place myself on the right of the left-right scale. #NZES2023 #NZPol

Kraft Heinz is not a NZ company. That said, New Zealand's supermarket structure needs a huge rark-up. I suspect the only way to value at the checkout is through a co-operative initially, at least, with Govt support. However, any alternative needs viable growers #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/12/m...
A new Covid inquiry is out, and so are the knives. It was a week in which parliament stepped into the time machine, back to the dark ages of 2020 AD. They were the best of times, they were the worst of times, they, apparently, saw fascist dictator Jacinda Ardern lock us all behind the bars of our homes and force medicines into our bodies so that we wouldn’t kill each other. It was a truly cooked era, and this week, everyone in parliament had to relive it. However, not everyone’s memories of the

Shane Jones should stop banging on about Labour closing Marsden Point. It's not that simple. Marsden was found to be unviable. Did Jones offer to subsidize the timber mills that closed last year? Nah. Stop griping and do your job, Shane Jones. It's what we pay you for. #nzpol #shanejones
Paul Goldsmith has batted away advice from government agencies strongly urging against the move and pointing to a lack of evidence.
Christopher Luxon has batted off a couple of half hearted attempts to unseat him, mostly due to the fact his entire team are scared not Luxon could be even worse Here's the thing, those two near misses for him were caused by his lack of popularity with the public That. Has. Not. Changed lol #NZPol

And now fleeing off to Samoa during a fuel crisis (how much will Luxon use up on this junket) in the middle of an international oil crisis. To pick up a fake Matai title. Why? #nzpol
Paul Goldsmith dismisses advice, makes illegal appointments with impunity. Each time NZ media let him get away with it it emboldens him. I met him years ago, he was nothing like this unaccountable vile arrogant person. #nzpol
A walk really does make a big difference & we need to build up stamina to kick Luxon, Peters and Seymour to the kerb. We will be flooded with info, propaganda & lies. A daily at least 1/2 hour walk is a circuit breaker. Kia kaha! #nzpol
Two people died at the scene, near Redwood Pass, and another died in hospital soon after the crash in February.
Shane Jones, blaming the previous Labour government for a lack of a fuel plan [RNZ Midday Report] in the current crisis, just proves the incompetence of the current lot's "senior ministers" in crisis management. Bring back Jacinda Ardern! #nzpol #nzpolitics #petrol

"...makes Christopher Luxon?" Makes Christopher Luxon do what??? Cry? Scream? Wet his pants? Protect a paedophile? Admit he's a liar? Admit he's not up to the job? Buy another house? Sell another house? Talk lots and say nothing? Confess to being an American? What??? #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

Foreign Minister Winston Peters has welcomed Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Prak Sokhonn to New Zealand.
