NZ first need to be framed for what they are - antidemocratic idiots who support the bombing of school children and other genocidal acts and are not fit to govern

Look. At the VERY LEAST they should be asking us to conserve fuel and stop going on unnecessary trips. They should be making public transport free. They should be doing something about rationing diesel for food transport. DOOOOOO SOMETHING YOU FUCKING LOOOOOOOOOSERS #nzpol

We know this guy probably better than any PM in recent memory. The first two years as opp leader the media never stopped shoving him down our throats. There’s been loads long form interviews and profiles showing who he is. We know who he is, we don’t like him. Amanda needs to make peace with that

I snorted

Our energy market is so obfuscated from the day to day user (intentionally), I feel like people still don’t know that we pay for all electricity at any given time at the price the most expensive unit being used cost to generate, so even if coal makes up 1%, the 99% is priced at coal rates

I think people in nz should be madder that we generate so much renewable energy but don’t get to benefit from the fact that it’s cheaper because our energy market was designed by idiots obsessed with profit margins

I want to remind NZ that one reason we were the last to get the covid vaccines is that we are a small country with very low trading influence and power. If you think we're going to be anywhere near the front of the line for the 80% of fuel left in the world, think again.

THIS perfectly describes most of today’s media bias and failure!

I guess Winston will be gathering damning evidence like this for the series of inquiries into the (his) government's handling of the fuel crisis. #nzpol

Lol #nzpol

are there any more things like this

Mind blown, learning that 'fossick' is a term unique to New Zealand (and Australian) English!

Umm. Any AoNZ energy infrastructure folk on here want to look at this regards to our govt plan & costings? #nzpol "...64% had cost overruns and 73% had schedule delays. For LNG megaprojects specifically, 67% had cost overruns, 68% had schedule delays, and average budget overruns reached about 70%."

Good luck Southland, New Zealand.

Sounds like Winston has found his new well of grievance to tap before the election. The antivaxxers have run dry so he's coming in off the fringes to shake down the electricity gentailers. #nzpol

NZ's former PM Jacinda Ardern & her Finance Minister Grant Robertson's legacy will stand up to the lens of history. Their competency was in results, whether economic, social or Covid pandemic management, which two Royal Commissions in NZ confirmed as among the best in the world

As already warm cities become more and more vulnerable to extreme heat events, or just the “new normal” of hotter and hotter cities every day, here’s just one more reason why more street trees and other greenery are good for streets & cities. It’s just common sense, really. Cooler, cleaner, better.

wow

Can we all shut the fuck up now about Hipkins and his ex, because however strongly you feel about her allegations, this will impact on their kids. They are at that age. Please stop the public gossip & speculation or just do it offline if you absolutely have to

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol

I’m so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.

Of course Luxon pronounces it "new-cue-lar". Of course he does.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Is this legal action why Solar Zero fell over in New Zealand?

THIS!!! This is why I talk about “car drivers” and not just “cars” when it comes to collisions.

Maybe i just want to watch a nice show where nothing bad happens, did you ever think about that?

It happened again

Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk is okay. Abandoning society is okay. Moving into a cave with a family of raccoons is okay. Giving them tiny swords & shields is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.

The centrist obsession with "balance" or "impartiality" enables right-wing or oppressive ideas by treating them as equally valid to more progressive policies, essentially giving them a "free pass".

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of unimaginably stupid shit every fucking day

The only reason it’s not falling like a stone is that we don’t look very hard for corruption in AoNZ, because we think it’s about briefcases of cash - when in fact it’s cushy jobs for mates and looking the other way and saying, ‘he’s ok, I went to school with his brother’

New Zealand has shown slow, steady, and "troubling" decline in the corruption perception index score, falling from 91 in 2015 to 81 in 2025.
