We’ve got incredible solar and wind potential and Winston wants to drill for fucking oil. Swear to god if he had a chainsaw he’d be trying to saw the tree down without starting the engine.

If (like me) you find millions vs billions hard, try scaling down the numbers. Say Labour’s PT fare cap costs $65. Or even a hundred bucks. Then one (1) expressway = $6000 And the full set? $55,000💰 By all means count the pennies – but keep your eye on that fat suitcase of cash labelled “RONS”👀

Lawry is appealing the IPCA decision. “I was assaulted that night. It was an eye-opener that’s still very raw. I didn’t like to think that we had racism here in Whangārei but that to me it’s still very prominent.”🔗 Read the full details:

I am SO OVER lefties making out like the Bish is "one of the good guys" when he is quite happy to sell our vulnerable communities down the river. The Bish values his career, his paycheck, and his wealthy mates over ordinary NZers. Folk need to stop pretending that Tories care about us

NZ Herald once again publishes lies by lying liar Richard Prebble, who blames Labour & the Greens for *sigh* banning offshore oil and gas exploration and *sigh* praises Luxon for restarting it. He lies about what the left's position is and lies about the solution. I hope he does this for free.
