yes we've all been frothing with the coup, meanwhile Mani Dunlop is out here reporting on this fuckery and what it means. www.teaonews.co.nz/2026/04/20/a...

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Planes fly faster than me, too. What's your fuckin point?

Luxon does not want to talk about how he cancelled Labour's climate resiliance fund, or how little he's spending on protecting us from the weather his donors are causing.

We turned rivers into road and wetlands into suburbs. Extreme weather turns them back to rivers and wetlands. This is what the #ClimateCrisis looks like.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

#nzpol ⬇️ 🤔⬇️ Now,... would those be the school boilers that the previous govt had budgeted to phase out but incoming Finance Minister Nicola 'No Boats' Willis stopped and redirected the money to give tax cuts to landlords? Just asking questions. 😏

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Frankly I'm disappointed these diesel guzzling pollution belching behemoths managed to escape

Y'all couldn't write "Connie Ballmer"???????

Same could be said of AoNZ and the Labour Party (although at least we have ambition from the Greens)

FOR SALE Owner returning overseas in December Offers #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

Luxon was on form. More of his waffle: " we are lazzzzzer focused on cost of living blah blah wank blah". He's facing a caucus meeting today. I pray to Thor he survives any leadership challenge. We an't afford to have him replaced by someone more coherent... 🙏 #ThoughtsAndPrayersForLuxon

Luxon repeatedly saying there's 'no risk'of him being rolled and then saying there's 'no risk' of fuel shortages does not inspire much confidence hey

Western media isn't reporting on this properly but it's in large part due to the fact that Israel can't adhere to any terms of a ceasefire that requires them to stop killing civilians

“Marama Davidson says she's not interested in losing Prime Minister Christopher Luxon - she's interested in losing the entire government.” She’s right every single one of them had made bad decisions on climate, jobs, child poverty, housing. They all need to go. #nzpol

Modern piracy.

Luxon's comms staff clearly had him rehearsing "Strong economic management and a stable coalition" for about 6 hours yesterday. #nzpol

You know who turns up, every single time we have yet another extreme climate event? Not the government. Māori. Every single time. And this govt just keeps kicking them in the teeth? Nope. Enough. #OneTermGovernment #nzpol #NZ

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Do the Nats still support the us govt actions in Iran? #nzpol

Also, (putting aside my repugnance for any Tesla), the new Tesla's will become used Tesla's, sold on at a lower price, while the first owner probably buys another EV thus increasing the number and percentage of EVs on the road over time.

#NZ Science funding policy Science offers great benefits, but to get it you want to fund basic science as widely as you can, stably, not only "commercialise". You can later *add* support for focus topics, not at the expense of basic research. This outlines similar concerns I have previously, 1/3

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

Imagine having the sort of brain that can contort “Trump’s illegal and immoral insider trading and use of his bully pulpit for market manipulation and personal enrichment” into “Trump is changing the rules of the game”. RIP journalism.

Meanwhile in AoNZ our Finance Minister and PM do fuck all, and assure us there is nothing to worry about, everything is just fine. #nzpol

So the PM is Chris and he succeeded Chris. Now Chris is Opposition Leader and he wants to have another crack at Chris in November. The only problem is that Chris wants to replace Chris before then if he can get the numbers, so he can face Chris at the election.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

This messaging is indistinguishable from NACT’s. Politicians who “speak with people every day” and go on about the affordability crisis while offering no substantive policy to change the situation all live in the same neolib economic fairy land, no matter what the colour of their rosette. #nzpol

NZ First, ACT & National Government quietly repeal more Treaty of Waitangi clauses, but still withholds info on impacts, laws and details #nzpol #kiwi

So I hope you all liked our State of the Planet set piece today: independent foreign policy and a massive boost to public transport haven’t quite got coverage of Electrify Everything, but all policies we’re proud of

It's a planned constitutional hijack. You can 100% guarantee it's for them/their mates to carve up and profit from commons that should benefit all NZ. Goldsmith is also a member of the Mont Pelerin Society- the economic brain of the Atlas Network, as is Gibbs. www.nbr.co.nz/book-extract...

Pretty sure Paul Goldsmith is a member of the Heritage Foundation and has been for many years. His actions don’t prove me wrong. What do we need to do to enshrine #TeTiriti, protecting it from politicians like Goldsmith & his ilk? #nzpol

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American: Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation. I've told my family to stay away. Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙 news.sky.com/story/englan...

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun. And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene. And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics. And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

We shovel $10bn per year into the pockets of offshore companies to buy fuel - and that was before prices went nuts. You could easily employ every unemployed young person in NZ for $10bn - and buy thousands of solar panels.

I'm tired if this "Iran is the bad guy" narrative, @australia.theguardian.com. The Strait of Hormuz is closed BECAUSE ISRAEL AND THE USA STARTED AN UNPROVOKED, ILLEGAL WAR AGAINST IRAN. #SolidarityWithIran #ViveLaResistance

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

For anyone in Aotearoa doubting the rape academy I have one word: Roastbusters. We know what this is, we know how it goes. And we can end it. We absolutely must. What if men worked to end it now, forever? What a better world we would have, for everyone.

Worth bearing in mind as NZ ramps up for a general election this year. The very wealthy are extremely against anything that might create a level playing field for the rest of us #nzpol

This really does seem to be the year of films that I never, ever want to see. First Melanina, and now this AI slop version of Val Kilmer. www.rnz.co.nz/life/screens...

This is insane. It would normally be insane, but it's doubly insane in the middle of a global fuel crisis. Replacing a bus with a dozen gas guzzling Ford Rangers and Toyota Hiluxs on the school run is just the way to reduce fuel use.

Concerns like our Prime Minister, Finance minister and Foreign Minister being all to keen to suck up to the unhinged authoritarian regime in the USA and fail to condemn globally destabilising genocides, attacks and invasions by terror state Israel #nzpol

It's actually quite refreshing to have an AI company advertise what the actual corporate agenda around AI is, rather than bullshit about it improving people's working lives.
