We 100% need to ask ourselves what is the purpose of life. What does our existence add to life on this planet. We 100% need to ask ourselves if an artificial invention that is not part of the natural life & which we can change the rules governing it, is more important than life. #nzpol

#nzpol If you want to know why NactFirst is terrified of young people voting, go check out the latest #BHN episode. Articulate, smart with a moral compass. That is a terrifying prospect for old crusty racists who prosper under the status quo. www.youtube.com/live/yU6gkJD...

#nzpol A change of government does not equal a government of change. Pass this excellent korero on, and let's bring change. www.youtube.com/live/6HOpJEX...

I'm reminded of that famous line from Cars 2 where British spy Finn McMissile introduces himself as "British intelligence," Mater replies, "Tow Mater, average intelligence". #nzpol

I have questions. What is a "biological female"? Is it a chromosome definition? What if one is borne with a chromosome anomaly? A law defining what a woman is for what purpose, how will it be enforced and how will it be implemented? #nzpol

I'd like to see a suggestion to sell these businesses to staff at a cost of $1. If I understand it correctly, these used to be successful local businesses that were then sold to international corporations. Make it a co-op to supply Aotearoa only. #nzpol

#nzpol We should do this experiment here and get Mr I'm rich & sorted & his entire govt to do the weekly shop for a family of 4 on a tight budget. www.instagram.com/reel/DWLsEFn...

Someone needs to explain to Luxon that we will be forced to sit at home but there will be no flour as no one will be able to move around. Is he THAT stupid? #nzpol

I can understand business as usual for those businesses that must use diesel for conducting their business. But all those ford rangers driving on our roads with not a single tool in them should not be driving. #nzpol

Diesel now is more expensive than petrol in some areas. This will have a massive effect on prices across the board. Add to that the threat of no supply, and we've got a storm that Covid dwarfs in comparison to, and we don't have the leadership that is capable of leading. #nzpol

#nzpol As a small business owner, I've been going through some possible scenarios. It does my head in. Unlike Covid, where the health response allowed us to go back to normal life, here the cause of the crisis is beyond our control. I come back to the same conclusions.

#nzpol Had a good conversation with one of our sales reps. She never voted before. Said this time she definitely will as there's too much at stake. I also encouraged her to talk to her friends & whanau and make sure they all voted. One less none voter 😁

#nzpol 3 and a bit weeks to come up with this amazing plan to give $50 to very few, starting 7th April. I truly do not know why we are paying them & do not think we fully comprehend how lucky we were to have Jacinda Ardern in charge when Covid hit.

When did vegetables become a portfolio & not something we need to survive? Maybe time to evaluate our entire way of life, where we work to support mega corporations and have supermarkets instead of living in vibrant communities where we can get our veggies at a local farmers market day. #nzpol

Narrator: Seymour will not leave. Where will he go? I'm sure even his corporate masters know he's actually useless & only good for them as a puppet in parliament. That is why we need maximum terms. #nzpol

I'm in two minds on this. National have spent years criticizing the Covid response. This oil crisis is National's covid moment and they are proving to be just as terrible as we thought they would be. I can understand why Hipkins is feeling a bit vindictive here. #nzpol

Potentially, this can also cause damage to vehicles and the follow on effect on warranty and breakdown insurance. #nzpol

If you think Australia has it better with its higher tax rates & CGT, it's not. The problem is the neoliberal system & the political establishment that profits from it. We need a system change. Well worth listening to all of it. youtu.be/oKGZWYLAfp4?... #nzpol

We were wandering last night what will happen if we run out of fuel, and with these jokers in charge, I'm not confident they have a plan. They backed themselves to a corner the only way out of is to admit their ideology needs to be reversed. They'll burn Rome before doing that. #nzpol

Did I hear Nicola no-idea telling the nation to drive slower to save petrol? Did she run this advice via Simeon Brown who told us we must increase speed limits so we can be more productive? #nzpol

Some targeted ideas for no-thought Willis. Free public transport. Double the benefits. Cost of living payments. Give it to everyone & immediately increase income tax to 45% on income above $250k & 65% on income above $500k. Require the gentailers to immediately fund solar to low income households.

Jacinda Ardern made it look so easy with her superb ability to understand things and communication. We were so spoiled we decided we had enough of the good thing and elected a shitty counterfeit. #nzpol

Our navy will be under water in no time. Honestly, who do they think we are? The only way to secure our supply is to boot the US and Israeli ambassadors out. While at it, boot the FBI office as well. Will never happen with this US boot licking govt. #nzpol

That is true. But if we give hard-working kiwis subsidies for a Nissan Leaf, it would. And if we made public transport free it would. #nzpol

I'm doing my best to ignore the misogynistic undertone. "Who is offering the Precarious Left something more than the cultural politics of the Educated Progressives?" The Greens and TPM! #nzpol

#nzpol Political parties elections campaigns need to be funded by the state. Decide on a reasonable expense amount per MP and they will get according to the number of MPs they currently have. If they can't win with it, tough. It means your message is not appealing to the public.

Are they real? "Meanwhile, Act’s finance spokesman...said his party was concerned the proposal could amount to double taxation “once when the loan is deemed taxable, and again when the shareholder has to use already-taxed income to repay the loan”. We always pay loans from our taxable income! #nzpol

Who would have thought that more staff and longer operating hours would cut the wait list. It's a mystery, really. Fund our health system properly! #nzpol

Why would any Nat decide that now is the time for leadership roll, when an economic mayhem is about to be unleashed. They agreed their policies are the best thing since soft butter, so can't justify a U-turn. They sense an election defeat might as well let Luxoff take the blame. #nzpol

Nat voters showing yet again they do not understand that all those things under the "Economy" label is the fucking economy! #nzpol

"yet somehow I managed to get an education." Well, that is debatable. Same vibe as 'we didn't have to wear seatbelts in my days and we all turned out just fine' (except for those who didn't). #nzpol

Aotearoa will become the dumping ground of the world. We will be world leaders in pollution! #nzpol

I'm at the 'we need to ban religion' stage of my life. #nzpol

When are we going to demand that women's lives be valued at least at the same level of the corner dairy? #nzpol

This could be such an easy win for Labour. Require the gentailers to re-invest ALL of govt's dividends in rooftop solar subsidies. You have 51%, you call the shots as to what is done with that money. #nzpol

If your goal is to replace an oppressive, illegitimate theocracy with a functioning democracy, then you quietly work with the secular grassroots activists on the ground. You do not bomb the life out of the same people you pretend to care about.

#nzpol I'm wondering if Willis is a hallucinating AI. I received emails from both out power suppliers letting us know prices are going up, & solar buyback is going down. That LNG terminal? Isn't built yet, so how TF is it affecting prices?!? www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

"I’m interested in a world where men are raised from birth with such an unshakable understanding of women as living human beings that they’re incapable of being aroused by their exploitation.” What we actually need to talk about in the Epstein Files. open.substack.com/pub/celestem...

Aren't we so lucky our govt is punching hard on beneficiaries to recover their double dipping instead of going hard after the real bludgers. #nzpol

Tangata Tiriti whanau, this is where we need to be a buffer. We need to be a bold, loud buffer so when these buffoons try hijacking the conversation we need to stand up and tell them to shut up. Yes, they will then tell us to not be divisive, so the response need to be - you first. #nzpol

How about the govt sign a free trade agreement with us, it's citizens, that will require NZ businesses to invest $33b into Aotearoa. #nzpol

We visited the colony in January where we learned there's a live feed. I have been looking now and again and until today it was all the same - parent Albatross sitting on an egg. Today I see this - www.doc.govt.nz/nature/nativ... It hatched! I recommend saving the link for stress release 🙂

$2.7b. $2.7b! This money could have powered 90,000 houses with rooftop solar and battery based on $30k per system. That is how you reduce cost of living, have more renewable energy and create resilience in the system. #nzpol youtu.be/hHpOHmofn5M?...

www.instagram.com/reel/DR4EaMb... This ⬆️ Tax the rich because they earn their money from us working people. They are the least mobile people & they only threaten to leave. #nzpol

So help me understand something here. After I have put $30k of my hard earned money on a solar system, I will now have to sunsidise the fossil fuel industry because we are being governed by 🦖? What, and I mean it in the nicest way possible, the actual fuck? #nzpol

"It is important that we do get to the bottom of what has actually caused such a failure in this way." Here's a cheap investigation result - the cause is corporate greed. It was more important to pay dividends than provide a good service. Solution - nationalise it. #nzpol

Oh, wow, Luxon is #whitesplaining 🤦 #nzpol

Oh, FFS. Everything is political. Time for Willis to grow up. #nzpol
