Documents reveal iwi hui cut from Treaty review, replaced by Minister-appointed group OIA emails reveal plans for regional hui with iwi Māori were cut from the Treaty review, replaced by agency engagement and a small advisory group ahead of new legislation.

Banger. After banger. She's amazing.

This is so bad. And she's fucking the only one going this hard.

Government's plans for LNG terminal didn't model international price spike A climate advocate said the decision not to model price volatility was "remarkable" and raised further questions about whether the planned facility was a good idea.

MBIE has now partially released a slide deck from Concept Consulting on LNG scenarios. BUT they witheld the first three pages in full as well as other key explanatory comments. We have gone to the Ombudsman as we believe the grounds used for withholding aren't appropriate or justified. 1/2

Luxon’s attempt to refocus the media is constitutionally misplaced. Confidence is the lifeblood of government. And the media have a legitimate interest in interrogating changing dynamics in confidence.

Ever think about it..?💭

The many ways our government is failing in its response to the fuel crisis The opportunity is here for a cultural reset. Why won’t the government take it?

The opportunity is here for a cultural reset, to establish a more resilient, healthier and, for heaven’s sake, cheaper way of living in this country. If only the government would take it, #nzpol

First, I am not a massive fan of GDP as a measure, but make no mistake, 2024 and 2025 were spectacularly bad. We skewered ourselves good. RBNZ knocked the economy out and Luxon and Willis kicked it in the head as it fell. Lowest average QoQ growth in the OECD 🫡 [2/n]

I recently did a collaboration with the Department of Conservation to develop a line of merch for their iconic visitor centres at Tongariro and Aoraki National Parks...

The Aoraki designs aren't public yet, but I can share the Tongariro designs which are now available for purchase on location.

Found this to be informative video, that puts things into perspective. Via Max Fisher on Instagram www.instagram.com/reel/DWrsUcU...

NZ's sustained economic growth claim doesn't stack up New Zealand's finance minister has defended the government's track record with an exaggerated claim about the country's economy.

“New Zealand's finance minister has claimed the country's economy has experienced "sustained growth" for three quarters, but the data tells a different story.”

The PM believes he's penned a "column". It is, in fact, a random collection of bullet points, and some really bad, and banal ones at that. E.g., the opening one: "The war in the Middle East is impacting New Zealand." No shit Sherlock. www.times.co.nz/business/lux... #nzpol

Regardless of party politics, Willis and National have kinda painted themselves into a corner both rhetorically and ideologically here. Not only have they spent the last number of years delegitimising pandemic crisis interventions to the point they have to avoid anything that hints of crisis ...

Instead of relying on traditional streetlights that remain fully lit all night, many Scandinavian cities have adopted motion-activated lighting systems that automatically brighten as pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles approach #energyefficiency #ActOnClimate
