Luxon lives on as leader. Public perception is a tougher challenge Research shows the most effective leaders are good listeners and aware of their own biases. Above all, people must believe they are ‘one of us’.

#nzpol #leadership

My take on why I think #Luxon is still a dead man walking, regardless of the caucus vote:

theconversation.com/luxon-lives-...

You're right - their standards are low, but they are always coming up with new and creative ways to punch down.

A blue car balanced precariously on a fence. The car has the National Party logo on the side, the name Luxon is on the bonnet, with the words “back on track” along the bottom

Like this?

Beg your pardon. So easy to miss a percent when they're scarce.

I'm happy Mr 17% is still leader. Makes National and the rest of the cosplay coalition easier to beat #NZPol

#nzpol Great messaging Tanya. 🏆

Cartoon. The introduction says, “Worried about the fall out from the war on Iran, Finance Minister Nicola Willis goes to Washington to ask:” and the image shows the Oval Office with President of the USA Donald Trump. He is being Jesus, with his hands raised, eyes closed, and wearing a white gown with a red sash and a long red tie. Nicola Willis says to him, “”When can we expect a return to normal?” Trump opens one eye and replies, “Huh?”

Worried about the fall out from the war on Iran, Finance Minister Nicola Willis goes to Washington DC, seeking answers.

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.

Under a photo of the author Mohamad Safa quote reads: If you can't attord to pay a living wage, you can't attord to be in business entitlement at it's finest. You are asking human beings to use their lives to subsidize your desire to own a business. If a job is worth being done it’s worth being paid enough to live

“My business will go under if I pay a Living Wage” is a poor excuse for poverty wages. You need a better business plan. #nzpol

“Set apart from the minimum wage, the Living Wage is worker and whānau focused.

Paying the Living Wage rate is voluntary. Employers who pay the Living Wage want to make sure their workers get enough money to live with dignity.”

No excuses, just pay a Living Wage.

I spy a different word beginning with f in that headline.

Never underestimate the power of a txt. A single txt can sink two ferries.

It’s embarrassing

I’ve lost count 💉🦠

Unexpected item in the banger area 🙌🎧

Um didn’t Winston do that last week? Is there a coordinated response from our government or are all the ministers just doing their own thing? And honestly, as if anyone will listen to Willis. She should just text them and save the jet fuel. #NZPol

David Seymour: put me in charge and *everybody* dies!

#nzpol🚨 URGENT LETTER FROM @sandragreynzctu.bsky.social TO PARTY LEADERS REGARDING FUEL CRISIS:

Simeon Brown is laying out the messages you will hear all year on the other place. These messages are well-rehearsed and will be relentlessly pushed. Labour have failed miserably to stop these reckons becoming embedded as facts in the national psyche. So, another quick recap of reality... [🧵1/n]

Is TPU waging a war on Māori? Who is the Tax Payer Union and what are they up to?

Who is the 'Tax Payer Union' and what are they up to?

Hint, they're not a union.

They seem to be waging war on Māori.

So who are they, who does their dirty work, and how do they roll?

A revealing investigation sheds some light👇

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

Āe, truly disgusting.

And the "... fostered and celebrated by most political parties ..." is saddeningly revolting💔.

People who receive 'benefits' are just that ... *people*🙏🏾.

The 'benefits' are recompense to people, for *our* failure to ensure opportunities are available & accessible *to all*❤️.

This state’s power prices are plummeting as it nears 100% renewables South Australia is proving to the world that relying largely on wind and solar energy with battery back-up is incredibly cheap, with electricity prices tumbling by 30 per cent in a year and sometimes ...

So great to see renewables plus batteries are collapsing power prices where they are rolled out at scale. The NZ Govt may be trying to reinvent the 1950s, with its love of expensive climate killing fossil fuels, but elsewhere history is moving on. www.newscientist.com/article/2514...
