NZ Govt has taken a huge bet on fossil fuels. NZ was already spending $8 billion a year importing fossil fuels, and now the global fuel crisis is going to make that worse. Betting on fossil fuels has turned out to be a losing bet for NZ. This is the 14 point policy record of 2 years of the NZ Govt:
The Green Party is urging the Govt to activate the Civil Defence Payment across Wellington immediately 🚨
It exists for exactly this situation and must cover all affected communities, including those outside the official zone who have still lost belongings.
PS. If you watched a stream of that press conference you actually have to sign up to volunteer in this election now.
Sorry, it’s actually the rules.
I see Shane Jones appears on far-right network that regularly platforms, & promotes Christchurch terrorist's violent extremist ideology (rebranded as 'remigration'), & amplifies the same anti-Indian racism, & xenophobia through his "butter chicken tsunami" framing. Dangerous, & disgusting. #nzpol
Can I enrol to vote in #NZ?
YES if you are 18 years or older, a NZ citizen OR resident for electoral purposes, and lived in NZ for >12 months or more.
Resident for electoral purposes = you’re living in NZ lawfully and aren't required to leave within a specified time.

nz voters are starving for big impactful ideas like this
"It’s closed out. It's finished. We voted it down yesterday, and it's over, and we're moving forward." - Luxon
“Cremated and buried”. - Potaka
They lied. Despite over 90% of submitters opposed and massive divisions caused.
National Govt continues to roll it out. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
The thing about 'blue-green' is that it's become clear sensible economic policy is not blue
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.
my feedback, Kevin :)
RNZ headline that says: "MSD document says there's 'no evidence' hundreds of New Zealanders are without shelter"
"There is a narrative across the sector that there are hundreds of NZs without shelter and there is a lack of willingness to engage with MSD. There is no evidence to validate these statements..."
Delay, Deny, Defend.
MSD is willing to accept a false reality in Aotearoa.

Hungary chose change!
After 16 years under Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian people have voted for democracy, freedom, and a European future. This is a powerful victory for all who stood up to corruption & refused to give up hope.
Today we celebrate.
Tomorrow, we rebuild.
www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...
The rightwing anti-democratic Govt in Hungary has been chucked out by the people, in spite of Orban’s efforts to rig the election. People can successfully fight back!
We should be a welcoming country to all those who would enrich our lives, our cultures, and our communities.

We need to recognise the ASH for what they are, a eugenicist policy we should've abolished long ago.

57.7% of NZers, 2.9 million people, can reach public transport within a 10-minute walk. Auckland hits 87.8%. The govt's new fuel subsidy targets 143,000 families. Free fares could reach 20x as many. NZ has the access. What's the argument against?
These people are ghouls
Because it's an island that is totally reliant on imported diesel for all its power
Whereas NZ is a group of islands that is totally reliant on imported diesel only for the distribution of all its food, goods, trades, and most services
Totally not the same #nzpol
