I do wonder about what is going on for people who take the time out of their day to put down their car window and yell at me “get off the fucking road” when I’m just stopped at the lights waiting for my turn, not in their way at all.
Could it be the bicycle that offends?

Has any New Zealand political party made a public statement on the proposed, and now consented, Southland data centre, in this an election year?

The Green Party says a national electrification plan is needed to build NZ’s energy security as, unlike oil shipments, wind and solar can’t be held up in the Strait of Hormuz.
Lucy Cassels: "There’s no certainty about which government will be delivered by the ballot box this November. What is clear, though, is that future governments (of any stripe) must continue to prioritise climate resilience."

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.
So forgive me if I smell a rat.

I’ve helped get 35 people enrolled in Roskill South over the last little while, with many more enrolled by our dedicated team of volunteers - including many first time voters!
We want everyone in Mt Roskill to be able to have their say this year and enrolment is the first step 1/2
#nzpol, the plan becomes clear
1) Kick them when they are down
2) Force them to go somewhere else
3) Pretend they don't exist
Is this 'american' style of caring for our people what we want for New Zealand?
This government needs to be removed.
Luxon & Seymour importing Trump election rigging to NZ & denying tens of thousands of voters their democratic rights by changing the registration time, despite Electoral Commission's advice that time taken to release final results won't change. And now they're restricting Māori seats rules. #nzpol
It continues to blow my mind that this Western wave of increasingly violent anti-Indian sentiment was all started by an intra-MAGA turf war between the tech nazi faction and the Laura Loomer nativist faction after the 2024 US presidential election. All this just to own Vivek Ramaswamy.

Luxon, Peters and Seymour’s legacy. They’re not even pretending to assist but they’re actively pursuing policies making it worse. #nzpol
