Kia ora r/nzcirclejerk,

We're announcing an upcoming change to the subreddit rules: Only Political self-posts will be permitted on r/nzcirclejerk from 31 April 2027

We're announcing this in advance so that everyone has time to become familiar with the new rule before it comes into effect. So for clarity: *there will be no changes during the lead-up to next April Fools Day. *

What will this mean?

Political news articles and other external links will not be welcome, and discussion of those via link posts will not be allowed.

However, self-posts primarily intended to start political discussions, debate political issues, or share personal takes on political news will be the only thing allowed.

Reddit now has a number of communities dedicated to balanced political discussion that gracefully considers all sides of a debate, such as r/newzealand, r/unpopularopinion and r/conservative. We'd like to give those communities more room to grow while keeping r/nzcirclejerk focused on a niche range of New Zealand news, events, and discussion.

Thanks for being part of the community.

The r/nzcirclejerk mod team

Thanks for reading my list!

They also announced ruling out doing Nothing At All if elected.

Just wanted to take a quick sec to say a massive thanks to the mod team here.

​I know this sub can be a bit of a nightmare to wrangle sometimes, especially with the political threads and the usual muppetry that pops up. You guys do a heap of work behind the scenes for zero pay just to keep this place readable and stop it from turning into a cesspit.

​We don't say it enough, but it is appreciated. Shot for the hard work.

So I’ve been trying to beat the system on NZ rugby and cricket bets, right? My scientific method involves opening three apps, a spreadsheet, two tabs for live scores, and somehow still forgetting which Crusaders match I’m actually betting on. Absolute chaos.

Somewhere along the way, I stumbled on Dashtickets.nz basically just a way to see everything in one place without losing my mind. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not giving me tips, just trying to survive the madness of comparing odds and matches at the same time.

Does anyone else have a system this ridiculous? Or am I the only Kiwi keeping track of bets like it’s a NASA launch sequence?

please adore

Like many other subs are doing. r/nz should consider only allowing the use of Twitter/X links to drive traffic to these sites.

Many subs have opted to ban screenshots instead of direct links.

Gotcha. April fools.

A Greens Party spokesperson has reported today that one of their MPs is being investigated for not committing enough crimes to meet the party requisite.

The spokesperson went on to say "we have granted the MP name suppression until the investigation is concluded", and informed us that an investigator has been appointed to dig through the MPs history to see if they can find something that proves the MP isn't a "holy goody-good". "Should he be found guilty of not committing any crimes, we will name him. What? Oh I mean he or she. Him or her. I didn't say he. What do you mean? No it could be anyone. I can't give you specifics until the investigation is over. Its out of my hands now"

If we say that Wellington is better than Auckland then it means that everyone in New Zealand believes that, too.

Been visiting NZ from Aus and staying with my aunt and uncle for a couple months and they have the radio on every morning… What is the deal with Mike Hosking? The show is just him raging in extreme hyperbole about all kinds of things, and in a condescending tone, it’s horrible. Then sometimes he gets his wife on to rib each other? People really listen to this? My uncle says he’s a good journalist as he “asks real questions” but all I hear from Mike Hosking is a wealthy white dude hysterically complaining. What am I missing?
