Tell Linda Topp to go sink a Navy ship

Hipkins take note … Now that stalking is illegal, that will stop Covid going door to door seeking out the unvaccinated.

Pretty disgraceful.

Fresh off Chris Hipkins suggesting Nicola Willis needed medical help, Barbara Edmonds has been caught on audio describing her as a “duck-faced horse.”

“Every week I have to stand up in the House and ask a duck-faced horse questions,” Edmonds says. “I have the dubious glory of being able to question her, debate her in the House, and take her on in the media.”

Given media’s coverage of the National party recently, the press gallery should apply a full-court press on Hipkins — especially after someone in the Labour Party leaked the audio directly to the media, just two weeks after he pledged that Labour would run a clean campaign.

Clearly Hipkins has lost control.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins says the cost of living is the main election issue.

So how will Mr Hipkins address this problem? Renewable energy!

So if he becomes PM, households won't see the cost of living go down.

Rather it will continue to skyrocket. Simply because renewable energy is one of the major drivers of cost of living increases.

The Labour leader's wrong headed thinking on this aligns with similar ideological nonsense from his socialist comrades like Keir Starmer in the UK and Tony Albanese in Australia.

This dangerous and foolish obsession with falsely named renewables, driven by political ambition, greed and cronyism, has seen energy prices rise to a a level three times what they were a decade ago.

If Mr Hipkins really wanted to address the cost of living, he would completely abandon renewable energy and a good start would be to discontinue the Emissions Trading Scheme.

Taking close to one billion dollars from consumer's pockets every year it is driving up the cost of every household item. Including food and fuel.

A simple remedy, but unacceptable to Hipkins because of his rigid ideological stance.

Vote Hipkins/ Labour if you want the same economic chaos in New Zealand as you're seeing in the UK and Australia right now.

THE END OF TEA PARTY TAMIHERE?

A six-figure bonus paid by Waipareira Trust to its chief executive John Tamihere was unwound after a long-running Charities Services investigation into charitable resources being used to fund Tamihere's political campaigns.

Just one of the many many many issues with Waipārera Trust

TPM still no accounts filed yet - multiple breaches.

Go back further to ROAST BUSTERS … remember that ? JT and Willie Jackson booted off their own radio show for vile r**e comments and ridicule of victims.

LETS HOPE THIS IS THE END

AHH ❤️ A LEFT WING MICRO BLOGGER 😂😂🥕🥕🥕

Samuel Hudson of thisquality: Why haven’t police prosecuted the alleged public ma*******or?

Story today ….
MATUA KAHURANGI
MAY 03, 2026

Allegations last year raised serious questions about the priorities of the New Zealand Police, it seems they are more focused on policing online speech than addressing severe criminal behaviour.

Samuel Hudson, the self-important founder of the fringe micro-blog thisquality and his “Quiet Pact Network,” keeps dragging more sleaze into the spotlight. Last year, broadcaster Sean Plunket blew the lid off Hudson allegedly running a Pornhub channel under the charming alias - where he filmed himself ma********ng in public places. Multiple people lodged complaints with police. Some of those videos are still floating around online and in Google search results. Some videos have background noise of people nearby. This guy was allegedly flogging his bishop in public, risking exposure to strangers, which is straight-up illegal in New Zealand.

The worst thing it involved Big Mac’s and carrots - I haven’t eaten a Big Mac since.

Anyways... crickets from the cops. No confirmed investigation. No charges. Nothing.

Making it even more rancid are the whispers about Hudson’s connections in policing circles. Both he and Jevon McSkimming - the former deputy police commissioner who resigned in disgrace after being caught with child s*x exploitation material and be******ty filth on his work devices - come from Kapiti. Funny how that works. These overlapping ties have people openly asking whether certain individuals get a special “Kapiti discount” when serious allegations land on their desk.

Meanwhile, New Zealand Police seem laser-focused on hunting down offensive tweets and wrongthink from regular citizens, especially if it offends the right ideological crowd. Actual predators, public perverts, and child exploitation cases? They’ll get to it... eventually. Maybe.

While cops chase keyboard warriors for mean words, an alleged public ma*******or with possible police connections gets a free pass. The public is rightly wondering whether our police force exists to protect community safety or to play ideological enforcement for the regime and its mates.

It is believed Samuel Hudson, is or was a student at Otago University. A formal email has been sent to the Proctor detailing his alleged illegal public ma********on activities.

IS THIS THE END OF NATIONAL?

THE NEXT SET OF POLLS WILL FASCINATING….

What we are seeing play out before out eyes is historic is it not?

Are we witnessing the downfall of a major political party?

Day by day, National are disintegrating.

It's not just Luxon. If it was, they have had 2 years to roll him. They must all be in on the plan. And the plan must have been the India FTA.

Think back... since he has been the leader, all we have seen is him cosying up to the Indian community, attending all of their events. More than any other ethnic group.

Was he was installed to get this deal through at any cost? … including his own demise and that of the party?

It's the only way any of it makes sense.

It's so blatant, like they are wearing badges that say what they are, in plain sight.

Labour supports it, Act supports it.

Another WTF is our tax payer $$$ expected to fund …

Serious questions need to be asked about the Green Party’s standards after selecting Michel Mulipola as their candidate for Māngere.

His social media is full of vile abuse: calling police “cunts” and “pigs” while laughing at them, labelling a minister “a piece of sh*t,” and sharing grotesque cartoons that depict one minister with faeces streaming from his eyes and an a**s for a mouth, while another is shown as a baboon with the minister’s face on its rear. He has incited outrage against a Samoan woman simply for volunteering with the IDF, celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination, issued threats, promoted his own “Death, death to the IDF” t-shirts, edited a video purporting to show Israel shooting a small child, and casually referred to Hamas as “armed resistance” and “a misnomer” — ignoring its designation as a terrorist organisation, its structured military wing, and its tactics and ideology.

He has even labelled democracy itself a “red flag” and dismissed peace in Gaza and a two-state solution as a “cop-out.”

The list goes on and on.

It simply beggars belief that the Greens consider this kind of violent, toxic behaviour suitable for a potential Member of Parliament. How can a party that claims to stand for compassion, justice, and democracy possibly endorse someone who so brazenly glorifies violence, dehumanises opponents, and rejects the very democratic values he would swear to uphold?

This is not political passion; it is poison.
