That time when the most anti-environment Government in Aotearoa NZ's history decided it would be a good idea to disestablish 40 years of the Ministry for the Environment despite overwhelming rejection from submitters& no clear justification or assurance of ongoing transparency ☠️

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just debunked the "billionaire flight" myth. He loves the culture, the talent, and the community—and he's ready to pay his share to keep them thriving. Taxes = Giving Back. It’s that simple. 🐘 #TaxTheSuperRich #Nvidia #JensenHuang #WealthTax

This is utterly fabulous 🤣🤣🤣

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Everlee Wihongi jailed by ICE for a month now moved to another prison unable to communicate with family or lawyer. Labour is calling on Foreign Affairs Minister to advocate with US govt for her release or at least she should be told why she is being held and able to communicate with family & lawyer.

I am incensed about this. What is it about having an educated population that ‘does not achieve any goals’? What were they? Scrapping Labour’s first year fees free policy was bad enough, but promising this only to rip it out from kids currently at uni who were 💯 relying on it is VERY BAD. #nzpol

The cancelling of the free fees scheme is 100% explained by the complete mess National has made of the economy and their NeoLib beliefs. They’re bleeding money on benefits and the tax take is falling. Their answer is not build capability, it’s MORE AUSTERITY (except for Roads 🙄) Morons

Hipkins ditched PM Arderns policies and lost an election Now he proposes continuity with the shitfuckery NACT have been putting in? Nah bro fuck off

I just don’t understand Labour at all. If Labour MPs are sitting on select committees and watching this govt completely destroy whole ministries with no mandate. How is Labour still trying to hold some middle bi-partisan ground???? @sarah4ilam.bsky.social help. My head hurts. 🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕 #nzpol

The scrapping of fees free for university students is nothing but a kick in the teeth for young people. Rather than recognising that their economic decisions aren’t working, this Government is once again forcing young people to pay for their mistakes. #nzpol

Not sure what to make of this, the implosion of Te Pāti Māori couldn't have been at a worse time. 6 months for this to shake out doesn't seem likely and goodness knows what this will do to the left bloc #nzpol

This country had a smaller tax base in the past, so how did we build hospitals, rail, roads and bridges and at the same time have world class education and healthcare? We taxed the wealthy hard. They were still wealthy, and society was better off.

Teal or Green/Blue parties are always destined to fail. If you cannot see that the environmental changes that are needed to stop climate change require a fundamental rethink of how we operate as a society, then there simply is no hope. Neoliberalism driving climate change is a feature, not a bug.

There's some great bills coming through the House at the moment, thanks to hardworking Labour MPs. 😁

‼️ The Green Party writes to Minister for Energy and Minister of Finance urging action on unaffordable power bills ahead of winter ‼️ The Greens are ready, willing and able to work constructively on making these common-sense actions a reality, for the good of all New Zealanders.

Defund. Deny. Destroy. They know this is how it goes. When the uptake falls away because it's not fit for purpose then they say "uptake is low, lets eliminate this". www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/...

Happy Mothers day and quick reminder that National cut womens pay to make up for their massive screw up last year and then shortly afterwards those Mps got pay rises 👍

lovely stuff

"that just impacts their ability to generate electricity as possible. So you might only need to clean them once a year, but it might be more frequently" I've had my panels for 5 years and have never cleaned them and they're producing at 100% in the summer, and we live 200m from the beach

-Move fees free to the last year and then dump it all together -Reduce govt Kiwisaver contribution until there’s no contribution -Get rid of personal grievance claim at salaries over $180k then slowly make it for no one -Turn sickness beneficiaries into jobseekers Anti-universalism sucks balls.

GameStop’s CEO struggles to answer the question of how his company worth $12B can afford to buy eBay for $56B. This is amazing television.

Truly historic & moving scenes from the inaugural session of the Hungarian Parliament. A children’s tambura band from a tiny village playing a folk song often described as the unofficial Roma anthem. MPs were tearing up & so were many more of us watching. After all those years of hate. 🎥 telex.hu

Hello everybody, I want to believe just as much as anybody else does but I really need to tell you that in my 10+ years of experience as a disinformation expert, the only reason UFO shit gets put out by the government is to distract you from other really bad things

"One of the main questions that we're going to have at this election as a country is, do we want to build on the progress we've been able to make over the last 30 or 40 years in terms of the relationship between Māori and non-Māori, or do we want to turn our backs on that progress?"
