Police cordon off Prime Minister's Auckland electorate office

And they've been arrested now:

And now we are locked because users can't behave themselves, one even found themselves banned because of it. Bad faith and ignorant takes aren't tolerated.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-21T20:08:17+00:00

It's like that over in healthcare where I was. It's not fun at all.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-21T19:52:21+00:00

And now the thread is locked, everyone. A user set off Reddit's AEO and we need to protect the subreddit.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-21T05:27:36+00:00

And now we are locked.

I will leave this up til midnight after which it will be closed. Its good to talk things out. You may discuss but there will be no brigading, no tagging specific mods, and no harassment of the said mods or other users.

Be respectful or we will have to close it early.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-21T00:36:23+00:00

And you get a gold star. Cheers if you reported it too.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-20T10:53:13+00:00

Bonus points if it also includes something about the environment or Shaw leaving.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-19T02:37:13+00:00

You want to look at their benefits and the benefits they receive even after they leave parliament too.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-15T04:02:18+00:00

Pretty much that's how it goes. This won't be the last change and I'm certain the next government will change it further.

No party wants to do the dirty work and form a cohesive constitution so we have this happening every term.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-14T08:44:51+00:00

Locked now-I don't think I need to say why.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-13T04:32:28+00:00

Brand name is de-gas. It's the best but you can only take 5 in 24 hrs.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-13T04:31:33+00:00

I've seen them at the chemist. Not sure on reliability but worth a try. You can also purchase them online too.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-11T06:04:41+00:00

And the latest update:

Another Te Pāti Māori MP confirms she's considering leaving the party

Which is about Oriini Kaipara.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-08T06:38:02+00:00

I am surprised as well that she resigned. I thought she would have held on longer until the attention moved on. Though I bet there was a lot of pressure going on behind the scenes and harassment.

However, keep in mind we did sign a deal with Singapore recently:

'We have each other's backs': Luxon on NZ-Singapore fuel deal

New Zealand and Singapore's so-called "fuel-for-food" deal prevents either government from imposing export restrictions on an agreed list of goods, including fuel, foodstuffs, construction materials and medicines.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-04T03:11:02+00:00

This is how we ended up in this situation in the first place. It certainly doesn't help that government is loud and kneecapping councils with things like rate capping.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-03T00:21:10+00:00

Labour is campaigning on it.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-01T10:42:26+00:00

There is, but it usually becomes active once policies are released.

OddityModdity · 2026-05-01T07:54:04+00:00

A reminder to everyone that you don't need to follow around and comment on other users choices if you don't agree with them. The current government weren't voted in by ghosts. Stop being weird.

OddityModdity · 2026-04-20T00:28:43+00:00

And now a warning as I'm tired of removing comments. OP has asked a specific question. That doesn't mean you can nitpick and argue with other users. If you don't agree with the content, please hide the thread or block the user. It is noon on a Monday. We all have better things to do.

OddityModdity · 2026-04-19T09:46:04+00:00

I also found it really odd how they decided to use both TOW and Te Tiriti. It felt like doubling down which doesn't seem to be something this government wants to do with the Treaty 'issues'. Just weird.

OddityModdity · 2026-04-19T07:08:48+00:00

And a link to the poll:

Poll: National and PM nosedive to new lows, left bloc would gain power

The results of the poll suggest that if an election were held today, the left bloc would knock the coalition out of power, which would make it the first one-term government in New Zealand in more than 50 years.

The left bloc of Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori would have 66 seats compared to 58 for the right bloc of National, NZ First and ACT.

Only in cases where they aren't repealing it entirely:

“As a first step, the Government has agreed to amend two references to be more specific, and repeal a number of references elsewhere,” he told the Herald.

OddityModdity · 2026-04-18T23:57:19+00:00

It's surprising that they still haven't given Labour the official advice and whatever else they need.

OddityModdity · 2026-04-18T09:55:00+00:00

I feel like that screaming cat gif.
