If you think that unwanted sexual attention is ok, you should not have a job that requires interaction with people, or horses for that matter!

Luxon is Prime Minister… and he’s to blame for every shitty thing that his coalition did to New Zealand #nzpol

How about we socialise some of the profits?

This should be on a very large billboard.

Either the towns are no longer there, or they are waiting for the new Israeli names to be gazetted.

I hope Luxon isn’t going to dive & avoid the falling block. Willis is dead centre & is, in current polling, toast.

He seems to have missed what is going on in the energy sectors of Europe & China.

Our reputation cancelled with a text.

Only the dumb ones?

Looks like a petty, vindictive plan to piss off Helen. That’s the way they roll.

and helicopters - for pleasure or convenience.

Good to see Luxon finally works out what a cock he is.
Tip for Rachel Smalley, don’t wear your gong (New Zealand Order of Merit) in the training sessions. Luxon will be so distracted by the possibility of the shiny baubles he is entitled to, he’ll miss learning about empathy and kindness.

Private is so much more efficient than Public - they say. #nzpol #oneterm

This is the issue of the election! Health services getting run into the ground to enable their rich mates.
All consulting appointments at Greenlane deferred for a month because of insufficient staffing.
Regardless of insurance or wealth your next car crash or stroke will end up in a public hospital!

The Iran oil shock is about to hit YouTube video by Max Fisher

This is a very good look at the upcoming REAL oil shock and why we will likely be hit all at once especially as our government is determined to stick their heads in the sand.

This is even before a large percentage of oil production in Russia was bombed out of existence.

Democracy Briefing: Sleepwalking into the worst crisis since Covid “Thought Covid was bad?

The test of democratic governance in a crisis is not just competence in managing the immediate mechanics. It is whether the Government is honest about the risks, fair about who bears the cost, and brave enough to act before it’s forced to. www.democracyproject.org.nz/p/democracy-...

Every Country in Our Supply Chain Has Declared an Emergency. NZ just launched an Ad Campaign. What the ministerial press conference got wrong about NZ's fuel supply, and what it didn't mention at all.

The government’s credibility on this is more fragile than it realises. If NZ ends up at Phase 3 or 4 in a few weeks, having been told the situation was fine, public trust will be destroyed.

Remember the optimism for a new way of doing things as we emerged from Covid? Instead we got a clown show of a government & their vision for a return to the 1980s.

#nzpol To paraphrase Michael Wolff about someone else.

They survive on a strategy of blame. It’s always someone else’s fault. But they’re in control, there’s no one else to blame. It’s them alone. It’s their economy & their coalition of clowns and dopes. There’s no way out of this mess for them.

Record borrowing with no pandemic.

It must be time to turn those EV chargers off to preserve electricity for real purposes like illuminating those billboards placed every 500m along the state highways. #nzpol #oneterm

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

👀

The US Military asking the white house to ask Congress for 200 billy to do this war should be enough of a sign that they think this things going 100+ days so whatever "we've got 54 days of fuel" left line you think will work is gonna look hopelessly naive

Chuck & Mary are only worried about stepping over poor people to get to Louis Vuitton, Rolex & Prada. They’re going to have their own luxury ferry parked at the bottom of Queen Street.

This government’s vindictive mentality is more likely to slap a tariff on EVs because the owners are benefitting compared to ICE during a fossil fuel crisis. They would claim all must share the burden, rather than reward those that go against their clear policy to undermine all climate action.

The equitable response would be to ensure EV owners don’t take advantage & ban them from the roads. #nzpol

NZ about to invest a couple of billion on a LNG terminal after scrapping EV support, lacklustre renewable investment & ignoring rooftop solar. While our ‘friends’ bomb the crap out of the Middle East. #nzpol
