Spare a thought for those communities who could potentially be without fuel at those high prices

I'm aged 35-44 and with European ethnicity.
I have Level 1 qualifications, live with family, and live in an urban area.
I voted for Another in 2023.
I place myself on the center of the left-right scale. #NZES2023 #NZPol

Luxon for sure.
#nzpol, do our journalists know what "accused" means? I see this a lot in our media, "blah blah was accused of but gets to keep" as if thats a shocking thing to happen
An accusation isn't proof. Panel says she did
Grow some self respect and report the facts

I'm sorry, but the more of this I read, the more of it sounds like bonkers nonsense.
Is the media making up scare stories again? If so, to to what end?
Almost every sentence sounds nuts.! #NZPol

Funny how the National plebs motto was "back on track" but they don't like trains.

Really getting tired of Americans trying to find some way of dragging us into their cluster-fuck of a war when it’s already lost.

We 100% need to ask ourselves what is the purpose of life. What does our existence add to life on this planet.
We 100% need to ask ourselves if an artificial invention that is not part of the natural life & which we can change the rules governing it, is more important than life.

I’d vote for grumpy. 🧵 #nzpol

Commonsense prevails, also Winston Peters yells, abuses and threatens all the time and unless he’s planning on becoming civil, telling the truth and acting less like a bully imo he should grow up, expect to be yelled at and stop complaining when his often egregious behaviour gets challenged. #nzpol
For someone that is one of the best NZ reporters on science topics, it’s very disappointing to see Marc Daalder resort to using the word ‘heavens’ - more so considering the major role of religion in the problems he references.
‘Space’ was right there.

Peter Dunne bitches about Chris Hipkins and says isn't he lucky people are speculating about Luxon being rolled. There you go. Saved you from reading it.

Not true.
National remains laser focussed on the real issues affecting kiwis...

I think many of you know that my parents breed and trained racehorses and I do cheerlead the good and great in the industry but horse racing is not an essential service, this government have failed to list who are essential and completely predictably it will smack them in the face #NZPol
Some parents are having to make the decision between putting food on the table or filling up the tank and when the basics come first, the unintended consequence for some is that their children are not going to school
#nzpol
National focused on the "big" issues while:
Cost of living and fuel prices are out of control.
Violent crime on the increase.
Unemployment at record highs.

If you’re going to use AI, could you at least use it to turn The Sound of Music’s “so long, farewell” part into a goodbye from the National, ACT, and NZF idiots? #nzpol #aonz

“The scale of need is significant; the pressure is persistent and for many people - a new and unsettling reality.
“Behind these numbers - families skipping meals, parents going without so their children can eat - individuals facing difficult choices between food, housing, energy, transport.”

8% David: “But how can we look MORE like we only care about the wealthy AND that we specifically don’t give a crap about anyone else?”
Dementia Winston: <chewing loudly on a flannel> “I have an idea…”
“CEO” Luxon: “Don’t tell me, so I can avoid responsibility.”
