Winston Peters is SuperMad. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Muppets. "On Friday, Wellington Water told RNZ in a statement, "There has been some confusion around this enquiry [sic]. We only learned this morning where the actual flooding occurred, hence the initial response.""

Andrew now and Donald next (again).

"...Matthew Hooton said a U-turn was intended to deny Act, New Zealand First and Labour a potent issue on which to raid the blue vote at this year’s election." Doesn't this become a win for Act that Seymour can croon about? Also won't give the construction industry much confidence. #NZPol

I am confident if Reserve Bank economists were all living off NZ median wage they'd stop hallucinating** fantasies about 'economic recovery' when the cost of basic groceries skyrockets, every living cost is going up, jobs and wages are not #nzpol **not able to afford drugs they are taking

Easy for an RB Chief Economist to urge a lack of caution with spending when his unavoidable living costs aren’t increasing much more than the CPI and his salary, and he doesn’t face the prospect of unemployment in 2026 as Willis signals ongoing cost/job cuts in the public service #nzpol

More extreme weather more often. What do our leaders think we should do? In a word, not much. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Climate

Toll: a fixed charge or tax for a privilege, especially for passage across a bridge or along a road. lol. #NZPol

Come on guys, wait until the 𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓻𝓭 one-in-a-hundred year storm to hit in a couple of weeks, 𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓷 you can bring up climate change ❤️❤️❤️

Good grief, people are floating out of their homes and he’s at an event akin to the govt paying millions for Michelin stars while NZers can’t afford to eat. People need flood relief, emergency housing, a govt on the job not this shallow shit.

We're all getting a feed from KFC?

Our country is run by fucking idiots #nzpol

Quick, dirty and expensive. The govt is going to build a $1 billion liquid natural gas (LNG) import terminal, instead of investing in clean energy. And as for the levy…if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck… My #cartoon today #NZpol #FossilFuels #Climate

I think I know who they used to train Claude. #NZPol

Celebrating the anniversary of the opening of New Zealands National Museum - Te Papa Tongarewa - with a video filmed by Capital Kiwi. This video features a Kahukiwi woven by my mum, Erenora Puketapu-Hetet, especially for Te Papa

I really enjoyed this interview with Mihingarangi Forbes. In 20 minutes we managed to touch on numerous issues relating to how AI is changing society, issues I've been grappling daily in conversations with colleagues here in New Zealand.

"Land blubber reporters" 🤣

Spotted on Thorndon Quay. (The business next door is a ... bike shop.) We get it - less car parks is an inconvenience for drivers. However that road is a thorough fare from the suburbs to the city which has been co-opted by retailers expecting council to provide parking for their customers.

Who knew that privatising generation would have negative effects.

Gentailers: "SPULL!"

Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was. He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.

Goldsmith is, quietly, one of the worst of the bunch.

As much as I was appalled at Pam Bondi’s attitude to the Epstein victims and her obnoxious response to reasonable questions, the thing that irrationally made me the most angry was her constant smirking. A smirk of arrogance, entitlement and utter contempt for those around her.

grateful to Janet Wilson just calling it as it is- while we had a fantastic head start in NZ with much hydro electricity- the govt is now taking a short sighted step back -it’s not just a tax, it is a subsidy for international old fashioned energy-let’s think harder www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

A moment that changed me: I wasn’t sure about my relationship. Then my boyfriend went missing on 9/11

Lady Whistledown: "Dear Readers, it was very true"

Of course MBIE’s own in-house report on the failure of MethaneSAT didn’t say any of this. And that’s what happens when you mark your own homework. Which is why we need the Auditor General to take a good hard look. 8/N

Now, if you were CEO of a crumbling, disaster-prone, and increasingly miserable NZ, looking at our balance sheets, what would you do? Ween us off imported oil to balance trade? Invest more and save less? Or, would you encourage people to save more and businesses to go into debt?!? Lol. [Ends]

Huge if true: riding a bike is not only fun and convenient; it's also great for your health. Who knew?? @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

Move as quickly as possible away from fossil fuels?

I just saw a clip of Luxo at Waitangi where he said sarkily to the assembled throng that equality of outcome isn't part of Article Three "because that, frankly, is socialism" and I want to die at how much he sucks #nzpol
