Except it is relevant, even down in New Zealand. The far right have been pushing hard, and other parties continue to move right to keep the middle voters. When people like Mamdani win a major election like this, it shows the Dem/Labour/etc parties that you can win without pandering to fascists.
Obvs the mayoral race for NYC is irrelevant to us but don't let that stop you enjoying plenty of the world's worst individuals being mad as hell about it if Mamdani wins

We are deeply concerned about major cuts to funding for Māori news and current affairs programmes Te Karere and The Hui, by Te Māngai Pāhō.
This is terrible for Māori media, and sadly consistent with this Government’s continual undermining of Māori culture.

NZ's special form of exceptionalism is thinking that RW public policies that are proven failures will, somehow, work here.
Now this is going to come as a shock but it seems that the Cones Hotline is a complete waste of time and money.

I have never, ever, in all my 44 years here, seen a single human "salute the flag". NZers are absolutely not into this stuff. He is a true weirdo

just as a side-by-side which I think is helpful: a piece of art of a Māori character that got slammed for 'whitewashing' her next to a Māori woman from the tribe the lefthand character is (in my opinion, as a member of that tribe) coded as

100% this. I will be in this bracket as I get older for all of the reasons outlined below.
We need to make it easier for single women to access their first home.
We need to actually pay women equitably,
And we need governments to recognise the below as a crisis instead of a savings opportunity 🫠

Why are older women most affected by rising housing and energy costs? Because structural misogyny has left them with lower lifetime earnings, less superannuation, and greater housing insecurity, in the middle of a cost of living crisis. #nzpol

A truly vile, despicable headline from the NZ Herald.
Long Covid is not a joke. It’s not a thing you use to make your headline punchier - it punches down.
Long Covid was the worst experience of my life, and continues to be for thousand of New Zealanders - with very minimal support.
Foul choice 👇

Christopher Luxon was elected in large part on a promise to fix the economy, yet 18 months later business leaders increasingly suspect the National-led coalition has no grand plan.
Business leaders sour on Luxon government, but fear lack of clear successor
A winter of economic discontent has brought flashing warning signs and mounting pressure on the PM, with boardroom concerns now spilling into public view.
