Ouch! “National, under its current leader, continues to take orders from two politicians who – combined- won less than 15% of the vote at the last election.”

There is so much more to this crisis than the price of fuel. They need to look at what other govts are doing (you know the “non communist” ones) South Korea for instance, to give their citizens a sense of confidence that we can work through this.

One major takeaway so far. When the pandemic hit, it was scary as, but it was reassuring the govt took every precaution, strategised all the scenarios & shared it with us on the daily. This currant govt faced with global crisis that could bring chaos & cut off essential supplies: 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

What the other guys did during Covid won them the only MMP absolute majority in AoNZ history. I’m surprised Luxon and Willis are so keen to remind us of that.

If you can’t act, get ready! Canned goods, pet food, prescriptions. See if there’s a local barter exchange group near you where you can source veggies and fruit, which will be scarce soon. Things will go scarce in a month or so; class on emergency preparedness said 6 wks b4 you can count on help.

There are full on crazy prepper like content all over social media about what’s coming and also our govt being completely blasé about it. I honestly don’t know what we are supposed to do.

This might help explain why this lot are so bad at their job: they think that actually governing would be “communism”.

CEO of something that isn't a company, has an elected cabinet rather than an appointed board, operates at the will of the people rather than the satisfaction of the shareholders, is paid for public service rather than "profit before humanity"? That sort of CEO?

Worth noting it as the US drags us deeper into a war that disrupts oil supply to so many nations including New Zealand, the US will continue to get its reliable oil supply from Canada, that applies 60% of their crude oil. And Trump continues to say the US needs nothing from Canada

A few things Labour should be pointing out daily - 1. Nats cancelled our clean car scheme 2. Willis cancelled our electric propelled ferry 3. Nats cancelled Lake Onslow 4. Nats cancelled our public transport support 5. NZ1 rejected the diesel backup stock plan. Instead MIA. Disappointing.

Chris Bishop's announcement of $52m of funding for EV chargers from the election $250m promise is actually using $66m of Labour's funds National in fact have spent $0, and the loans don't even have to be used for EV chargers Anyone who says Nat & Lab are the same need their head checked

Listen, we've emboldened several of the worst regimes on earth, simultaneously exposed both our viciousness and weakness, and gained nothing but higher prices for everything. But at least we've created a far more dangerous world doing so!

These are some of National's 2023 election promises and can someone please ask them how this is all going thanks.

Not OK in the least, but nobody - *nobody* - cares enough to do a damn thing about any of it. Congratulations, United States! You managed to normalize the most asinine and heinous actions imaginable, and in record time, too! Participation trophy goes to…… the rest of the now-uncivilized world. 🏆

Ain’t that the truth!

Australia has shown how subsidising solar works. It’s not a concept, it’s already been achieved in the real world. Yet NAF coalition govt.? “Nah, LNG imports mate”. Who voted for these people? Seriously? Talk about BAD decision making 😳. Their economic mismanagement will reverberate for years #nzpol

19 deaths in the past week. But whos’s counting?

Fantastic that every major site has coverage of the Covid-19 Royal Commission findings yet do not mention the very real, very current wave of Covid and ponder out loud that we all might want to get boosted against an ongoing, live threat that we are currently inadequately responding to, how good.

Moe mai rā Dilworth. We are so heartbroken but looking forward to welcoming you back to Ōrākei to honour your mana, your music & your staunch defence of land rights at Bastion Point/Takaparawhau.

On this day in 1977, the Bastion Point occupation began. In 1976, the NZ Government announced that a 60-acre section of “public” land at Ōrākei was to be sold to the highest bidder. Named Bastion Point by cartographers, Ngāti Whātua knew it as Takaparawha... 1/2 www.audioculture.co.nz/profile/papa

A reminder that Iran sent 57,000 suicide drones into Ukraine, and for the majority of that time, Ukraine didn't have reliable air defences to counteract, leading to thousands of deaths. That's an act of war, and the only country with legitimacy to react to it is, in fact, Ukraine.

Right-wing commentators were *obsessed* with what they fancied was the former Labour govt's control of the media. Yet now we have what looks like direct political interference with reporting that ministers didn't like. Far out. newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/04/t...

Ardern is a national asset & remains extremely popular in #NZ. Unfortunately death threats & vitriol fanned by right wing accounts & media as far as Fox News meant her family isn't safe Australia's gain is NZ's loss. NZ has also lost ~3% of its citizens since the right took over #nzpol #auspol

NZ must reckon with the grim reality of our future: more storms, floods and heat. This is a confronting situation. And yet, if we are to shield our communities, our infrastructure and our economy from the worst excesses of climate change, it is one we must confront. newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/18/c...

Do we really want to sign on to a Peace group chaired by Trump with so far including Israel Belarus Russia & Azerbaijan? Sounds too much like to foxes minding the chicken coop.
