If only people bothered to look they'd find that the @greens.org.nz have some amazing, progressive, election winning policies. 💚✊🏻

Pure war profiteering. I can't say this clearly enough: TAX THEM

We’ve joined 130+ organizations in an open letter with 4 clear demands: end the war, tax profiteers, cancel debt and secure food and energy for all. They profit, we pay. It’s time to change that. 350.org/they-profit-...

Where does all the money go 🤔. Is it into the dividend pot for the shareholders? Tax them.

Here's some good info on how to make it affordable www.rewiring.nz/watt-now/the...

The cost of living crisis and war profiteering go hand in gave. They always have. And the rich ALWAYS win. Tax back our money FFS.

An unredacted Cabinet paper included in a court filing shows ministers knew their decisions could lead to higher costs for households. - Newsroom Pro - $ -

Unbelievable. The Luxon government has now granted a prospecting permit within Te Wāhipounamu, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

This is straight-up disaster capitalism. Using a crisis to remove regulations that protect public infrastructure whilst enriching donors.

Quite the interview with Faith Birol. Basically, he argues that the latest Persia Gulf war broke the world’s trust in stable oil & LNG/gas supplies & prices as we were living it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New Report shows free dental service would cost less than current system #PartyVoteGreen for Good Change! 💚❤️🖤 #nzpol www.greens.org.nz/new_report_s...

Capitalism has brainwashed humans into the belief that owning a huge vehicle is a sign of wealth which in turn shows you are "better" than. If wealth made you a better person poverty wouldn't exist. #humansarebroken

Making my way through south Pōneke and it’s very clear that the damage from Monday’s floods is extensive. Big piles of damaged housewares lining the streets. But the good news is that Luxon is having a fucking great time at the rugby in the new stadium in Ōtautahi, and

Nicola Willis's #Debt Way Higher Than All 6 Years of Ardern Govt, (despite Covid payouts to protect jobs & businesses, Cyclone & Climate emergency funding, ferries & good change) Nat/ACT/NZF spent it on oil & tobacco corps & Rich Landlords taxcuts #nzpol thestandard.org.nz/nicola-willi...

A politician (Shane Jones) who says that immigration will drive down wages when he is part of a Govt & action/policies that halted Fair Pay Agreements, ditched Pay Equity, reduced workers rights, and has overseen a pay cut for minimum wage workers in real terms is a racist & a hypocrite imo. #nzpol

REMINDER: New fossil gas is NOT needed for energy security in Aotearoa according to the Govt's OWN report www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

Immigration does not drive down wages, employers do.

Look. What I say to you is this. Utes kill at a rate seven times that of other light vehicles. It's their size, weight, 50 kph urban limits and diesel fumes. That's why we've done so much to promote them, destroy clean car sales and dump safer speeds. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The only party campaigning on nationwide electrification so far, is the @nzgreensglobal.bsky.social Easy choice 💚✅ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

What's that? More oil and gas exploration won't bring prices down or be available for years? Who to believe? The Executive Director of the International Energy Agency or the local oil and gas lobby and the "well lubricated" Shane Jones? #nzpol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’m trying to convince my institution that’s it’s worthwhile to be on Bluesky, so I volunteered to setup an account and posted at @soest.hawaii.edu. Please do me a favor and follow the account, share and like some posts before my meeting to discuss the account tomorrow. @joshuajfriedman.com

National's rubberstamp committee has reported back on their kill to kill MfE, unsurprisingly ramming it through despite near-universal public opposition. Select committee scrutiny is a joke. Parliament is a joke. selectcommittees.parliament.nz/v/6/ee66ce10...

A very good sad summary! Five relatives died in WW1. I visited 4 of their graves in France/Belgium. 3 brothers were killed. Horrible. There's a Stop the War Hikoi 2pm Aotea Sq Tamaki Makaurau to promote peace & ethical remembrance plus a Peace Heritage Walk.

Just announced! "Officially been selected as the @greens.org.nz candidate for Māngere. I know this will come as a shock for some of you, it is for me, but the community voluntold me to step up & so that's what I'm doing." @bloodysamoan.bsky.social Michel's new IG acct = @mulipolaformangere #nzpol

Cash for access. I wonder what Mr Horncastle wants? What's that, a hard right, low tax, tiny govt, librarian state? Why do I say that? Well, I'm just paraphrasing. Vote National, get Horncastle. #nzpol www.oneroof.co.nz/news/money-p...

Taken from another place - Wellington Zoo Tu Nukau - free entry to the Zoo for residents affected by the floods. Residents of Newtown, Berhampore, Island Bay, Ōwhiro Bay, Kingston, Mornington and Vogeltown just need to present proof of address for free entry.

that's a very good Anzac Day plan. respect. just came across this from @peacewellington.bsky.social if it's helpful? peaceactionwellington.wordpress.com/2026/04/19/w...

Jones on his plans for the long weekend: “Saturday, I shall be well and truly lubricated because it’s Anzac Day.” That's just what I look for in a senior govt minister that's never served. What a respectful way to honour those killed in other people's wars. #nzpol

Big YEP! Not accidental. "Greens unveil diverse list with large Māori representation" “The 13 Māori candidates reflect a long standing commitment to te Tiriti o Waitangi, equity and partnership......This can be what our Government looks like." #NZpol www.greens.org.nz/greens_unvei...

With the absolute clusterfuck that's happening in government right now, for goodness sake make sure everyone you know is registered to vote It could all come crashing down in a few days #nzpol

There are no honorable wars

Luxon on peters and NZ Fist supporters: "He has, for want of a better word, an anti-immigrant sort of bias in his party and his constituency and his belief system." The better word is RACIST. Luxon made him deputy PM, relies on "anti-immigrant" voters to maintain his govt. 🤮 #nzpol

Relevant to that dirty Australian plan to make urea from lignite in Southland, here's the PCE in 2010 saying its a terrible idea. Using their numbers, 1.5 MT urea means 2MTCO2 emissions every year. Which completely blows all future carbon budgets pce.parliament.nz/media/m1vcbt...

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:

Was that interview with Willis on RNZ just now real, or am I hallucinating? I've no time for winston, but man, that was an extraordinary attack by Willis. Can't see him standing for that.

"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it" Or till the background is the street you grew up in. Hits home.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Look. What I say to you is this. Saving thousands of lives and billions in health costs is one thing. Damaging the profits of big tobacco donors and the ex-employers of MPs is quite another. I'll always make the tough choices in the National interest. #nzpol www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Thanks AI, this reeeeeaallly helps. Question at top of image.

Look. What I say to you is this. The Parliamentary National party had a frank discussion over two and a half hours around my leadership. As is proper, I then put it to the vote. Of course, there'll be no such vote right now for the great New Zealand public. Like National, you're stuck with me.
