Keep checking you're still enrolled, and hound your whānau and friends to check/get enrolled ✔️ #nzpol 'Absolute bulls***': Labour MP blasts coalition over 'evil' voting changes www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

MPs demand answers from Fire and Emergency leaders over spending and repeatedly pushed CE Kerry Gregory on what had gone wrong since FENZ was set up nine years ago.

"The country's abundance of renewable sources, and new firming options like biomass, made New Zealand energy-rich without the need for fossil fuels, he said. "We have to stop telling ourselves that we're energy-poor."" #nzpol

Ask yourself, would rich people give money to parties that do what benefits the rest of us at their expense? #nzpol

Asking about wage inflation when this is the FUCKING STATE OF IT. Why is our state broadcaster so shit.

Toilet seat broke off first thing in the morning. I heard the unusual sound. We are reduced to repeating the catch phrase from One Foot in the Grave "I dont believe it!"

If you are in the arts in anyway, this is your sign to get vocal about how terrible this govt is because this will only get worse. I know some think being openly political is bad for your career. But if we do not use the skills we have to make a change now, there wont be an industry to go back to.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

This Government is interfering with years of iwi and council building working relationships in good faith. Working with iwi is not a hurdle to development. It is part of getting development right.

Not forgotten

"A warm, dry home powered by clean energy should be within everyone's reach. That is the country we can build, and this is how we do it. #nzpol

I am beginning to think Seymour hates children #nzpol

Remember a year ago when we all joined Internet NZ to keep the FSU from succeeding in its takeover attempt? Well, they're trying again this year, and another TERF who runs a separate anti-trans hate group is also trying to get on the board. Let's keep them out again 💪

Greens continue with Mahi $1b wasted on oil and gas that is not there $980m on a publicly owned Power Company that runs on Renewables? Tough Decisions www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Umm ... "New Zealand Farmers WILL HAVE TO ADAPT, the EU is already signalling that they will no longer accept offsetting with Carbon Credits in the near future." 1 Oct 2023 [ xcancel.com/NZheretic/st... ] #nzpol

Congratulations to Spain on their World Cup win. It’s a little sweeter knowing Trump is seething, and angered by your country’s decision not to provide refueling bases and your staunch support for the Palestinians. Te quiero, España!

Kiwis! Please! Say NO!!! to the Makarewa data centre! Data centres take constant enormous power, fresh water & create carcinogenic effluent. Despite what politicians say they create NO JOBS!! #NZPol

Why do people recall the 1970s as idyllic, asks Dr Bex? “It was a time of significant state support for families”: * adequate & affordable housing * young people got paid to train & study *universal cash payments to parents And “much of this was invisible to the generation who benefited from it.”👀

We failed to be a Norway because resources were pillaged by profit driven companies with low country returns And run by poor middle management RW govts keen on selling NZ to the lowest bidder Politicians more worried about the good things for themselves rather than the country Selfish #nzpol

Deliberate cuts. Empty stations. ❌ FENZ is cancelling recruit courses and driving staff numbers down. We can no longer keep Wellington stations open 24/7. 🚨 Karori: CLOSED today 🚒 Porirua & Remutaka: Offline 24hrs 🚒 Thorndon: Offline overnight

In 1987, Southern Māori MP Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan called out strategic attacks on race relations for electoral gain. Decades later, her plea for long-term structural policies over political point-scoring still echoes. #NZPol #NZHistory

An interesting🧵 and a call to be very wary of what we hear and how it is positioned. This is especially relevant coming up to a deeply critical election period with potential consequences that will echo for generations in New Zealand … in which the truth is now optional.

Boosting Marwan's campaign to raise funds for his family's food, shelter & medicine. Marwan is 20yo & his father is unwell needing treatment. Please share & support. Things are worse in Gaza and West Bank, there is little aid or food. @ummarwan.eurosky.social chuffed.org/project/1800...

Marwan: "My father is wasting away before my eyes,breaking my heart every day… He is ravaged by illness,and we cannot afford his treatment. My father desperately needs help now.💔 Kind people,$200 could save his life and restore his health. Please don't leave us alone.🙋🥹" chuffed.org/project/019d...

Currently watching Mr26's Powerlifting comp via YouTube channel. Some amazing lifts going on.

Solar and other new renewable generation is putting downward pressure on wholesale electricity prices without climate pollution (unlike fossil fuels which are expensive and polluting) : www.nzherald.co.nz/business/com...

You hear people say “this is the new normal“. If only that were true. The truth is that it’s going to keep getting worse for quite some time. How much worse is still up to us. We HAVE to end the oil industry. #ClimateCrisis

💯💥Exactly

My first cat as an adult lived to be 18yo. Born on my 21st birthday under a full moon. She outlived many cats, who she didn't get on with unless the winter Fire Truce was in force. She's often with me on dream journeys. Last night both she & my current cat were exploring with me.🤔

Lest we forget, Cook attempted to enter Wellington harbour on two occasions (once on the Endeavour and once on the Resolution) and failed both times. Not a good omen really. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Our NZ Medical Journal editorial highlights Health Minister Simeon Brown‘s political interference in the Medical Council. His decision not to reappoint its chair and deputy chair reflects a broader ideological rejection of evidence by this government that threatens patient safety.

The Greens have a plan to protect the health of our people, especially our newborns, and our environment. It means strong rules so there's less pollution from synthetic nitrogen fertiliser and too many cows, and putting the brakes on dairy expansion. Let's put healthy water first, for all of us ✊️💧

Assuming it were indeed USA (which I have reticence to believe & yet this Regime & also munitions go off course)… …WHAT—and I CANNOT emphasize this enough—THE ACTUAL FUCK. Attacking operating nuclear power plants, or letting them be damaged by attacks, is a really fucking Horrible Idea.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.
