We can reduce electricity bills 20% by 2030 if we all promote demand flexbility programs. Tesla just announced that they sold their 1,000,000th powerwall. Millions of new water heaters, smart thermostats, home EV chargers, and other devices can be enrolled in demand flexibility programs.

"It's the immigrants." Look at this picture. It's these people.

A Year 12 student at Rosmini College, Patrick Lemeki's 2 pieces titled Sei o Fafine and Together We Stand are wonderful. ❤️ They show he's very observant, thoughtful, talented and skilled. I look forward to watching out for him as he cuts his path through this world. 👏🫶💪 pmn.co.nz/read/arts/to...

Ōtautahi - if anyone knows of anti-trans FB groups or other media platforms where a recording might be uploaded to harass allies please could you dm me? Thank you!

Look. What I say to you is this. People are dieing for tax cuts.

“Cheaper than accepting homelessness” The only reason not to house the homeless at this point? Cruelty. That’s all they’ve got left.

I’ve been saying for 10 years now: We don’t need higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for stuff. We need it because permanent dynastic wealth distorts and eventually destroys economies and democracies As we are seeing now.

Asking a majority non-Māori population to vote on whether Māori wards should be kept is racist as fuck. Asking any majority demographic to vote on whether minorities should have certain basic rights that facilitate equity is straight up bullshit. And referendums make me furious.

Bloody cycle lanes did this.

Thanks goodness they don't rely of fossil fuel, tobacco, mining, farming, firearms and real estate donations. No. Wait...

Ardern resigned when her preferred PM poll numbers dropped to 30%, saying she clearly wasn't what NZ wanted anymore. Luxon is on 20% and still adamant he's doing a fucking brilliant job. Never send a white dude CEO to do a competent woman's job.

In a historic first, iwi leaders and unions have united to call for mass mobilisations against the Government on the 28th of October. Rā Whakamana will affirm tino rangatiratanga and workers' rights and mark He Whakaputanga and the first Labour Day in Aotearoa.

Last year, 15 independent, union & university economists wrote to Nicola Willis & Luxon to call on them to change their economic strategy, highlighting the economic risks & short- termism. Chris Bishop proudly told media that Willis would rather listen to penguins. #nzpol #kiwi

One final look at this morning’s sunrise, time-lapse. If you don’t like music with your time lapse, just scroll; you don’t need to tell me your preferences. ☺️

Look. What I say to you is this. When old mate coughlan wrote put on your dancing shoes, the rock star economy is back, the answer was obvious: more big events. As soon as we announce Hall & Oats playing Eden Park, business will be booming. We can all go for that. Yes can do! #nzpol

For those in Paekākāriki/Raumati ward, Richard Young's flier (photo) says to remove climate change information from LIMs, and reduce planning horizon to 20yrs.

Look. What I say to you is this. I will protect farmers' property rights to the death. Not my death, obviously.

Are there adult nappies for the economically incontinent? Features I'm looking for: Can absorb $671m pissed away on zero ferries. Can contain a big jobs dump. Won't leak tens of thousands of Kiwis to Australia. #nzpol

"The minister has said donning an adult nappy and chaining yourself to a door was not the way to get an audience with her." So they should have done the usual thing of offering a big donation instead?

The best part of this is @zackpolanski.bsky.social is consistent with his messaging. Doesn't matter whether it's a heavily edited video or him just talking on front of a camera. It's the same message everytime and he's right.

whoever Wellington's next mayor is, he benefited from a campaign of harassment of women

Solidarity ✊

I've been working on #climate issues for years, but every now and then I step back & think how unbelievable (and sad) it is that scientists have shown for decades we're literally changing — in a bad way — the climate of the entire planet and yet society refuses to deal with that existential threat.

Excuse me driver, is this the bus to Eketahuna? No mate. Te Puke. After @trouteyes.bsky.social

Area man joined the Māori roll thinking it was some clever hack to get multiple votes complete with free steak knives, only to be surprised by a ballot containing ZERO of the nazis and cookers he planned to vote for, ahhh you love to see it

Listen closely

This is a good and compassionate action.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

I love this. Can't remember where I found it but so glad I kept a copy.

Even if you don't vote for your council (pls do but), tick that box for the referendum. It is BINDING for three terms - so if it fails, no Māori ward for nearly a decade. And EVERYONE votes, not just Māori. Tāngata Tiriti step up, Pākehā mā, you need to vote.

Vote! It's especially important to VOTE TO KEEP MAORI WARDS. Yes, they are worth shouting about.

Ray Chung is still polling 2nd for Mayor and likely to get elected to his Ward + Greens are being shouted down at debates. We’re fighting hard to win and need your help. If you can, give a little to my campaign to back a strong, principled voice at Council🌿#nzpol www.greens.org.nz/donatetory2025

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

I want to expression my unequivocal concern & alarm as I've noticed the NZ rolling 12 month infant mortality rate has gone up dramatically since Quarter 2 2024. (Anyone can replicate this by downloading the deaths for year ending by age data from infoshare, and the mean year population (quarterly))

National's track record thus far. Kudos to Mountain Tui for collating this data... mountaintui.substack.com/p/50000-fewe...

Last day to order merch in time for delivery before 20 Sept Women’s Day of Action.

Don’t worry guys he is treating us as a bottomfull ATM it’s all good you see
