We really need someone, anyone, in the MSM to call out this stupid comparison between the budgets of households and monetary sovereigns. It's dangerously misleading and It misinforms voters. It supports decisions that harm us all. #nzpol
A system that consistently protects perpetrators and undermines survivors is a biased, corrupt system.
How many headlines do we see where a judge is protecting a perpetrator’s good name, their career? How many actions are framed as a judgement error?
Help change an unacceptable status quo👇

A chart showing Three Waters (water infrastructure) spending per annum per Mayoralty - with a massive spike during the much erroneously maligned Tory Whanau mayoralty. Print this out & staple it to your drunk uncles thick skull, or better still, on his dick that's the only thing he looks to for inspiration.
In a move that will shock no one, they're now blaming 'vanity projects' of the former Mayor of Wgtn for the flooding.
I swear public stocks with abundant rotten vegetables for this kind of asshole should be mandatory.
Keep this for your drunk uncle & thank you to whoever made it.
The dangerous neoliberal fiction behind every economic decision in NZ.

Yep that's what I want two
TOP talking about the “Blue-Green” space. Which is bullshit really - Blue policies in NZ have been extractive and worked against both the environment and people. Also indicates right-leaning to me. Nope.
The Bradford "reforms" were 26? years ago. They didn't work. More than $10b of dividends have been mostly stolen from the public. ( Actually more)
Those reforms were designed to make Genesis, Meridian & Mercury into privately owned companies.
That has been compounded by Labour govts too...
I truly hate when little Right Wing Hitler youth open their mouths and give opinions in their over sized fake glasses, that they think will make them seem smart ,on things they know nothing about.
But listen to a real farmer rip her apart.
For when the gov says we can't afford basic fundamentals... #nzpol #wealthtax
@labourcartel In 2024 Shane Jones cancelled plans for a public diesel reserve and left energy security to the market, giving them until 2028 to do a job that takes two months. When the shortages hit he’s the guy to blame.
They’re going pretty hard on the LW already over a fractional TAX on extra wealth, as they plunder millions from us with extra LEVIES (TAXES) and higher costs of everything to protect their elitist greed class. 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #VoteThemAllOutNZ #NZ
Yep quite a few
I didn't understand why Labour didn't sort this when they had a landslide majority to be honest.
There are a growing number of people looking at the situation in the Middle East and staring at our diesel supply and the apparent indifference of our government, and wondering: why aren’t they doing more? And there’s a straightforward but unhappy answer to that question.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.
THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

This is why all reporting on sexual assault must include the context that sexual assault is culturally acceptable, systemic and normalised in a way that ensures ongoing pervasive harm is a given.
We need to stop talking about symptoms without talking about disease.
Latest state of enviro report on freshwater again shows dire state of polluted water, caused by agriculture. In last 2 years NZ Govt has weakened water protection rules and dairy cow numbers are surging. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Above a photo of a bridge over a stretch of water under clear sunny skies the headline reads: Conservationists alarmed by new report into New Zealand's freshwater Keiller MacDuff Senior reporter New Zealand / Conservation
Not just conservationists btw. The current NZF/ACT led NZ government has degraded everything from democracy and public services through to our environment. #nzpol

Yep... I like how the letter says to wear a mask. I get there I'm the only one in a mask. The specialist I was like you can take your mask off. I didn't. Then he wanted me to drink some water so I had to take my mask off and guess who's been sick for a week, that's right me.
So much better than poop bags
We shouldn’t have a MP pay freeze cause the PM is giving it away to charity is acceptable but we should have pay raises for firefighters and nurses so they can pay for rent and food is somehow controversial.
Why are the media always on their side. Never on our side.
Oil reserves last for weeks.
Solar panels last for decades.
It’s time that we got serious with solar!

Latest tax data is depressing. The economy has stalled and we've got a recessionary wave coming towards us from overseas. Govt and their ghouls think the solution to global volatility and the widening gap between income & expenditure is to reduce spending! Why are they fking idiots? Read on. [🧵 1/n]
The Ōtaki-Levin highway was killing a lot of people at 100kmh. After Ardern Govt cut speed to 80kmh, the dying stopped. Then Luxon Govt increased the speed limit on the highway for culture war reasons. And people starting dying again. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...
Cartoon. Title: “Food Security” Image shows the New Zealand Grown food label, but instead of the white stylised silhouette of a kiwi, it has a kiwi skeleton, looking dismayed. Down the bottom right, on the label, is a ‘R’ for registered trade mark, but there is an arrow pointing to it, saying “Rated ‘R’ for “Rooted.” In the background are mixed chopped vegetables.
“The closures of Heinz Watties, Greggs, & McCain…will have implications for NZ’s #FoodResilience & security, will cause significant #JobLosses & threaten the viability of local vegetable growers…& NZ’s ability to feed itself with #LocalProduce” - Steve Abel, Greens
