NATIONAL FAKING NEWS: Nats: “New cost of living support coming for 1.5M Over-65 New Zealanders.” Us: This increase happens automatically every year, by law, as an adjustment to superannuation. Would they pay it if they didn’t need to? No. #nzpol

My business POISONS PEOPLE & THE ENVIRONMENT, so we should get special government/taxpayer treatment instead of just cleaning up our practices…🤔 #FuckOff #nzpol

BREAKING It’s been revealed that Fonterra dairy products are tainted by rainforest destruction www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... #nzpol #TooManyCows

Here ya go kids, have some carbs, fats and sugars and....oh, some more carbs, fats & sugars with a few E numbers thrown in for good measure. 🤬

1st rule of NZ political economy understanding Ready everything Bernard publishes, even more so when the generous bugger opens it up for free #NZPol

Is curia wording Stuff polls now? Because asking if an apple and sandwich is good enough for lunch is not the issue. Starving kids in poverty is the issue. This being their only meal of the day, is the issue. Working families in poverty is the issue. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... #nzpol

Moss. The Kepler Track is in a very wet part of the motu. It starts low, goes up through the treeline to alpine slopes where's it's mostly lichens and the wind can throw you over the side gusting to 130km, or maybe a blizzard, like the last time I walked it! A WONderful adventure every time.

Have I shown you this one before? It's NOT a moss. Lichen growing on palm tree of some descrption.😊

This is my little toutouwai friend Pod. He has a crippled foot so, to take the pressure off his good leg, sometimes he just... sits. #birds #nzbirds

If the Density "Church" fuckwits had BP or MM patches on they would have been arrested on the fukn spot for gang intimidation. Maaaaark Mitchell and Luxo better have a really good explanation why these thugs aren't categorised as a gang, and why their charity status isn't being stripped. #nzpol

Forest & Bird are hosting a FREE webinar on the Future of Conservation Land. Specifically about how we can write informed submissions to SAVE it from this EXPLOITATIVE Government....yes, Mung added the big adjective, but it's true! Please sign up below. events.teams.microsoft.com/event/36e405...

Not just morally but physically courageous. They will come after her.

When the worlds politics make me wanna scream, our whenua and moana make it better. This is why we fight, this is why we must continue and call out the fuckery we are experience across te ao. #nzpol #BHN #cantbeatwellyonagoodday

Transpower have just been given the green light to hike up power bills while their directors get a 56% pay hike. This govt is more interested in lining the pockets of those already doing well than helping ordinary Kiwis with the cost of living crisis.

NZ’s economy wasn’t in recession before the election. In the past 6 months the economy has dropped faster than any time since 1991 (excluding COVID). This is what the politics of austerity does. Nicola Willis and Christopher Luxon are clearly making things worse not better!

Andrew Bayly meanwhile seems to be failing upwards. The man who thinks Kiwis who work late are losers has now been promoted to be Minister for ACC. Another demonstration of the contempt this govt has for people who work for a living.

There's enough bullshit out there without the likes of Anna Wilding adding to it! Anna Wilding, Bullshit Master open.substack.com/pub/webworm/...

I ended up babysitting two young toutouwai yesterday afternoon #birds #nzbirds

Jimmy Carter. Bless his cotton socks. It can't be easy to govern a country, and to govern well takes an exceptional individual. Sometimes a country is lucky enough to have such a person.

Not a moss, but ain't Mother Nature GRAND! Meri Kirihimete everyone!

Probably the penultimate image in the 'not a moss' series from #HeaphyTrackNZ Alt text has details.😊

Another in the 'not a moss' series....and even worse I've forgotten the name of these thingies. There you go, how's that for information.😆 #HeapyTrackNZ

I love a good graph. Ask me a question, I probably have the answer.

Today I was going to offer up, not moss, not lichen but a fern.....couldn't find it but found this MARvellous stuff. A lichen - possibly another growth stage of what I thought were tiny fungi the other day...??

So, Luxon is lying. DPMC were informed some months ago. Good work Paula. #nzpol

"If SUVs were citizens of a country, it would rank as the fifth most polluting in the world." Bring back the Ute Tax 😠 #nzpol

Campbell on the ferries. This stuff up is going to affect nearly everyone one way or another, mostly in the pocket. #nzpol wellington.scoop.co.nz?p=166389

Chris Hipkins questions why only Māori MPs rebuked over haka.. Speaking to Morning Report Hipkins said a number of non-Māori were doing the haka from their seats and haven't been referred by the Speaker, "so you can draw your own conclusions from that". PS Think Jo Moir means Chris and not Chrisk

Please at the very least sign the petition to save Bream Bay from erosion. This sandmining will be applied for under the Fast Track process, so speak now or forever be GAGGED - well, as long as this bunch of robbers are in power anyhu! PLEASE.

Alrighty then, so the Christmas Angel didn't appeal to anyone....I mean he must be well into his 50's now, but I think looks rather lovely here. So, y'all are getting an epiphytic something-or-other now as well. #HeaphyTrackNZ

Having a wee sort through my pictures looking for more moss, and I came across my Christmas Angel. Thought it only right to share him with y'all.🎄

Outrageous that the govt has appointed John Carnegie to the EECA board. Carnegie heads the fossil fuel lobby group Energy Resources Aotearoa, formerly PEPANZ. Regulatory capture at its worse. #nzpol www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-...

“More robust scrutiny of Marsden projects” is a hell of a thing to suggest here. Probably most ppl don’t realise that Marsden is the ONLY funding mechanism that includes peer review by international experts of EVERY project. All the big ticket funding through MBIE? That is all FAR less robust.

Is it a liverwort or a lichen....I'm going lichen cos I'm like'n it. *sorry, too much caffiene* It IS a lichen and a friend who specialised in liverworts may have been the only one to appreciate the poor joke - the wonderful Dr Elizabeth Brown. Please appreciate the hint of moss. #HeaphyTrackNZ

Hey Team! Please help Outline! Set to shutter in Jan 25 cos a certain nz entity has given them no funding… outlineaotearoa.raiselysite.com

This speaks VOLUMES, and they're ALL bad!!

It's a little over-exposed cos it's sometimes like the inside of a cow in our deepest, wettest bush. But hey, if you're a MOSS it's heaven! *Bush is often forest here, we just say bush if there are not many massively high trees* #HeaphyTrackNZ

Without question. Shame Jones to the hilt.

I feel like humouring y'all today....... It's MOSS! Very wet moss, dripping bigly. Tomorrow I'll show you where it likes to hang out. #HeaphyTrackNZ

It shouldn’t have to be said but it is possible to be against both anti-religious hate crimes and genocide, don’t conflate abhorrence of one crime with validation of another.

Another in the 'It's not moss' series. This time it's teeny wee pink fungi. When I say teeny I mean REALLY teeny. #HeaphyTrackNZ
