#WorstPMEver #NationalNotFitToGovern

And when that inevitably goes pear-shaped, they'll want taxpayer subsidies. #nzpol

A trap we should not even be thinking about stepping on: youtu.be/7RDDsuq0xK0?...

The page linked below has been updated to better explain what the talk is about and why it matters to you. 🤔 #NZPOL

Gosh this is what happened to AoNZ's school lunches (not the DOGE bit, obvs). This was never about the children; it was always about scamming the taxpayer to enrich private companies. #nzpol

i think the AI is having a hissy fit 😒

We’re profiled in @momentummag.bsky.social! Please help us share it far and wide (as noted in the article, repetition, repetition, repetition…) #UrbanTruth

Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue has been running for more than 15 years. It's where we got our beautiful girl Velma and they do incredible work matching dogs to homes. Their current premises has been sold and they need a new place. Please check out the link and help if you can 🐾🐾 🐶🇳🇿

I did a retweet of the net numbers - they dropped by 1MT, or 2%, thanks to trees. Keep that up for 25 years, and we're in the ballpark, but that's an awful lot of trees... it would be better to make gross emissions cuts instead.

Our net emissions need to drop ~3% a year to hit our 2050 target, so this is a failure. But clearly, National doesn't care about that. www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

nzoilwatch.com has gone. Boo!! There's an explanation about why on the site. Thanks, AI guy/gal. Your little site was really useful during its short life.

Good. I hope they check his hard drive, too.

Then the only solution is to renationalise them, Oliver. #nzpol

Research in AoNZ is a shambles. If you are interested in public and pvt research, please respond to the post below. #kikorangi

And have your card ready before you get on the bus. Efficiency!

Nice to see new people on #TāmakiMakaurau buses. Welcome, new PT converts. I have a tip to save you and everyone else time: the bus route is the bus route. It's not negotiable. You're welcome. 🚐🚐

😒

It is hard to overstate how appallingly contra to all evidence the current NZ govt’s LNG plan is. I am pretty sure a substantial part of the electorate gets this too, given current events. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

A Starship specialist literally detailed alllll the ways this benefit was needed for the parent, and some WINZ case worker with ZERO medical training just went, ahh nope. Horrific. Ppl shouldn't need to go to the media to get the support they're entitled to. #nzpol

🧵 Congratulations to Cr Julie Fairey and the Auckland Council for Doing The Right Thing. Looking forward to others following suit. #TāmakiMakaurau #nzpol

You can and should donate to PCRF if you want to help Gazans, instead of shady spam accounts on social media: www.pcrf.net

Imagine that! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Message of the day. #BuildMoreBikeLanes

The Serious Rain has arrived in #TāmakiMakaurau 🌧️🌧️🌧️ Take care, peeps. #CycloneVaianu

And here's the rain 🌧️🌧️

çÿćløčåñë tracking page for cyclone Vaianu. www.cyclocane.com/vaianu-storm...

And here's the wind picking up... #CycloneVaianu

And here in AoNZ. How many one in one hundred years storms have we had in the last couple of years? And another one on the way? Why aren't we de-carbonising faster? #kikorangi

😻

Auckland earlier tonight. (Pic by the Hauraki Gulf Weather account on Facebook, seeing as he's not on this platform)

#TāmakiMakaurau this evening. @dialogcrm.bsky.social has some awesome pictures as well.

And stay safe this weekend, everyone. Especially our unhoused whanau.

Stand down, everyone. It looks like this is an industry subsidy. Sorry to get your blood pressure up.

I’m struggling to sleep, ruminating about what the future holds… check on your disabled/chronically ill friends & family… I can bet you they aren’t doing well right now. #Kikorangi

The Greens are calling on the Govt to ensure emergency housing is available to all people experiencing homelessness as Cyclone Vaianu approaches the North Island. Luxon is telling people to stock up & prepare to stick out this storm at home. What does that mean for the people he has made homeless?

The before and after of the Strait of Hormuz. My #cartoon today #warOnIran #USA #Israel #StraitOfHormuz

Does this sound familiar, #nzpol? 'Together the parties polled 10%, yet these two junior coalition partners seem at times to almost run the country. It is almost as if the main ruling party and its leader uses their open extremism as a cover and a source of deniability for his own extremism.' 🤔

The charities which shall not be named... #nzpol sketch

Only two small jars of guava jelly from the approx 800g of guavas. Why, yes! That is finely chopped green chili floating at the top. Has chili flavour and a mild bite. Superb! #kai

Brutal.

With this settlement the US is worse off in every way than it was before the war; Iran is strengthened by the huge new tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, paid by the whole world. (1/14)

Small (I think of it as exclusive) batch of guava jelly on the way. Such a pretty colour! #kai

The spare cat muscling in on the dog's space (and treats) 🤣 🐶🇳🇿

Marmalade from windfall mandarins and a couple of lemons and limes. I've never really made marmalade before having been put off by those pithy lemons people use. Will report back. #kai

Everything's going to shit but this little guy is determined to grab his zeds. You should, too. 🐶🇳🇿

Uh, guys...what is our PM even doing? Besides mistaking his Ministers for waiters, I mean? #nzpol

Oh goodie! More devastated landscapes and toxic tailings 🤬

For the New Zealanders with but a dim memory of what leadership looks like 🫩 #nzpol
