My cousin in Sydney has just stopped using her car.
She is trying to make a difference for others.
She's pretty clued up that things will get worse.
I wish our NZ government was a bit clued up.

I don't ever wanna hear any 'in hindsight' bs from this gov or media when the fuel runs out either..
'We couldn't have known this'
'South Korea didn't honor that'
'But Industry experts said... '

Cartoon. Math symbol for change (triangle) Govt symbol for climate change: Ostrich with head in the sand.
Instead of taking the action we need, to build resilience, save money and cut pollution, the Luxon government seems intent on doing just the opposite as if climate change isn’t real.

This is rather terrifying.
I have absolutely no confidence in our current government's ability to deal with any of this.

Petrol price sign with diesel being the most expensive.
The fact that this government is just letting this happen….
It’s a choice.
It really does make them look completely incompetent.

Wayne Brown the most anti-establishment politician in NZ! 🤪 #nzpol
Fair point excise and RUC are roughly equivalent per km on avg. The real argument is, all vehicles should pay for roads based on distance and mass Independent of fuel source. Universal RUC is coming for everyone. The fuel saving still makes EVs the obvious choice. #NZPol #Election2026

A special shout out to our current NZ Government Coalition of Cork-Soakers.
In 2020, the annual NZ government contribution to KiwiSaver members was $521.43.
The Coalition reduced the government contribution to $260.72 early in their term.
Then they gave the savings to your landlord.

Aren't we meant to be all in a tiz about wasting taxpayer money? How many resources were spent on this nonsense?

The thought of seeing BV Velden singing Halo makes my skin crawl in a way I didn't know it could.
Also lol miss 'workplace' apparently doesn't know her fave place closed.

The laid-back to the point of falling over coverage of our laid-back to the point of falling over gov during this crisis is what I'll remember.

#nzpol ⬇️ Yep, and lots of close to retirement workers are going to want to keep working because of inflation and because Trump has purposefully devalued and destablised their superannuation investments.
#nzpol Petrol reserves are dropping.
According to nzoilwatch, in 6 days the last on-water shipment of petrol will reach Aotearoa (assuming it's not redirected). That ship has ~5 days on board.
If three similar tankers started from Southeast Asia today, we'd break even a couple of weeks from now.

#nzpol 🇳🇿 hmmmmm, this is ringing bells. Why is this so familiar?
BVV “Retiring” should tell you all you need to know about capitalism, corruption and NZ politics.
BVV’s corporate/big $$$ sponsors got what they wanted & she proved she could manage the PR pressure of being pathologically cruel.
A great fit for most corrupt corporate roles.
Next puppet.

I'm a man, aged 65+, and with European ethnicity.
I have an unclassified qualification, own my home mortgage-free, and live in an urban area.
I voted for NZ First in 2023.
I place myself on the right of the left-right scale. #NZES2023 #NZPol
Losing 20% of the fuel supply in a global economy built on just on time logistics will do that #nzpol

Good article.
This case doesn't just reinforce why journalism matters but why public service journalism is crucial at a time when shadowy, apparently-manipulative figures, like Jim Grenon, are taking increased control over mainstream media #nzpol www.1news.co.nz/2026/03/27/o...
