Awkward for Shane Jones. Former head of Marsden Oil refinery: "Most other countries in the world outside MAGA US states and New Zealand are [going for 100% renewables and electrifying transport] now, at pace. For some reason, New Zealand 's going down the 1980s' path." #nzpol

@lucyham.bsky.social Looks like some people are paying attention finally.

funny that we're doing 10x less than australia who can now give back to the grid. #nzpol #nzeconomy #nzelectricity

www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plent... @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social Um this is more shortsightedness if I've ever seen it

The luxon govt is currently pumping out misleading content about the covid enquire and trying to make it look like everything was going well for them before the War in Iran. If a government has to lead with blame and excuses, its because they've already failed. Don't fall for it.

www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... I like this move, should extend to the app and hopefully be well recieved. #nzhazards #nzsciences

Craig rennie and Dr Gary payinda know that privatisation is not the answer and in some cases you could have the same person working across public and private hospitals for the wages. #wealthtax #nzpol #nzhealth

www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/... This is a worrying development given our hands off nature with the USA #nzpol #globalpol

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

this is explicitly genocidal

Nats have always been Team USA unilateral invasion... So of course Luxon supports that. #nzpol

#nzpol Never forget

Someone somewhere has decided enough is enough for Luxon. They've trailed it to journalists, who've contacted their National MP and Minister sources, and from 5am this morning it's been a full court press on the egg man.

Sarah Rogers is steering State Department grants to MAGA-aligned groups in Europe, branding it a “free speech” fight over the EU’s Digital Services Act. Her outreach includes Turning Point USA, ADF International, and Germany’s AfD, raising alarms U.S. funds may bolster Europe’s far right.

www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/... As much as I don't trust taxpayers union and the curia poll Chris luxon is a fumbling idiot who somehow previously ran an airline poorly. #nzpol

@legallyfeminist.bsky.social Um this is pretty damn serious given recent cyber attacks and the recent trend of vibe coding. #nzpol #nzict #nzcyberattacks

Using 2 different data sets to measure crime in #AotearoaNZ is NOT the 'Gold Standard'. It's the 'Goldsmith Standard'. Your govt is lying to you about fewer victims of violent crime. #nzpol #ChrisLuxon #PaulGoldsmith #nationalnotfittogovernnz #BHN

Patel "targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran" days before the US attacked Iran. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

I'll add NZ to that list although I think it's unlikely under the current regime. Yes Iran has had bad things happening of late before this, but was a school really a threat

This needs to happen in AoNz Character references to be scrapped in Victorian courts for crimes including rape and assault ‘As if being a ‘good bloke’ cancels out the violence you perpetrate.’

Gang profits have doubled, international organised crime strengthening their hooks, NZ has lost experienced cops, retail crime is up and often being ignored, drug use is in full blown crisis, domestic violence at 8 year highs, and the violent crime numbers are off base #nzpol #kiwi

When National, ACT, and NZ First gutted pay equity last year, they didn’t listen to the voices of women, workers, or experts. The People’s Select Committee was formed so that the voices of Aotearoa could be heard on pay equity - and their findings are damning for the National-led Govt. #nzpol

🚨BREAKING: A national security official says Donald Trump is in a catch-22 where Iranians are threatening to release videos of him sexually assaulting children if he bombs them, and Israel is threatening the same if he doesn't! My god! Lock that fucker up! Leak the videos. The End.

The government’s infrastructure plan points the blame at the government

Nothing to see here. Just New Zealand's leading far-right, & disinfo platform following/retweeting Martin Sellner (not for first time either). His ideology is explicitly referenced in title, & feat. throughout 'manifesto' penned by ChCh terrorist. Sellner was also sent ~$1.7k by ChCh terrorist.

I want to bring something up that is quite topical, a bill being proposed by penny simmonds, the disestablishment of the ministry of the environment, this while many communities and councils are still grappling with the impacts of floods, still very early and lacking a lot of detail. #nzpol
