I will reiterate as someone with field and specific knowledge of New Zealand’s oil and gas sector, there is no giant untapped field out there. Even if Labour agrees to this, not a single drop of oil or gas will be produced in the next decade because it’s not there. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

we really need a good investigative journalist on the energy "crisis" in nz - really its a crisis of regulation and poor regulation. We have enough renewable energy and we could change our system around

The PM is off his rocker. The SCIENCE tells us we can’t afford to burn even known reserves let alone new ones if we want a hope of having a liveable future… Yet Luxon is asking @chrishipkins.bsky.social to support offshore gas exploration … for at least the next 10 years! #ClimateCrisis

National wants "bipartisanship" only on its terms. Meanwhile, thys piss all over agreements they made on climate change. Fuck them. Revert everything. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Privatisation of the electoral process harms Māori and our democracy - https://waateanews.com/2025/09/29/privatisation-of-the-electoral-process-harms-maori-and-our-democracy/ - Details and more news at: https://nzccl.org.nz/news

"... may “pose an insurmountable barrier for some investors”. Maybe they should invest in something else then. Like renewable sustainable power sources... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

The Israeli military targets hospitals and multistorey buildings as it intensifies its offensive to seize Gaza City.

Plans for 18,000 more dairy cows in Canterbury have been revealed. In a nitrate emergency, the there should be a reduction in cow numbers, not MORE dairy expansion.

China’s cycling resurgence can best be admired at street level, where cities like Kunshan are building infrastructure of incredibly high quantity and quality. Cohesive networks that offer both practical connectivity and inviting usability; with abundant width, shade, protection, and natural beauty.

#nzpol Hey NZ political journalists - there’s potential blood in the water. Start calling the PM embattled. See what happens.

No labs in New Zealand should be privatised. Get foreign owned Awanui out of our public health system. They don't have anything to offer the country, they cost the health system more, and their staff are underpaid and not supported. Re-nationalise ALL health. #nzpol

#nzpol When the French, Spanish, British, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Swiss and Japanese get together quickly and sort something out, you know you’re in the wrong side of you’re on the other side. It’s a shameful day for Aotearoa.

Did we not, quite recently in geological time, have an earthquake that killed a bunch of people because we had inappropriately stringent earthquake standards for buildings Was that not a thing that happened I am but a humble exister in this country for several decades, perhaps I am wrong #nzpol

Remember David Seymour covered up for this man #nzpol

The Green leaders were hounded relentlessly about one of their MP’s fall from legal grace, so I expect David Seymour will be afforded the same multitude of media opportunities? You know, to explain to the public why he actively protected & covered up his paedophile party president’s crimes. #nzpol

Yesterday Israel killed at least 40 people in Gaza. They continue to systematically demolish Gaza City, building by building.

Now we've seen the result of this appeal, journalists can start releasing their stories about how involved Jago was with the ACT Party and David Seymour, right? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

🇮🇹🇵🇸 #BREAKING | In Genoa, the dockers refuse to be complicit. They blocked the loading of the Zim New Zealand ship, filled with weapons for Israel. Supported by their unions, they paralyzed the port, forcing the ship's departure... empty.

This is an example of the systemic racism we need to address... It's depressing that treating everybody with the dignity they deserve is considered a dangerous act?

Refusing to recognise Palestine diminishes both Winston’s office and our country’s mana. It aligns NZ with impunity rather than international law — seemingly to please Trump. We should stand with justice and human dignity.

Buried in the detail about reducing earthquake strengthening is the removal of requirements for disabled access and fire safety. You know who does that? Sociopaths.

Just watched Luxon on Breakfast with John Campbell. What an utter smug cunt. And he said he joined public life to make a difference like Martin Luther King & Kate Shepherd and exhibit the love & compassion of Jesus Christ.

I didn't know how right I would be god damn, I love the bit where small towns can go fuck themselves.

The regime's support for genocide in Gaza and its hatred of Māori is a really unpleasant and suspicious combination.

#NZPol Surely he is talking about Israel?

4. Israel holds 10,000 Palestinians in IOF torture camps where rape is regularly used as punishment. Why don't you call fir their unconditional release? Why are you silent when Israel is now processing a new law to make it legal for Israel to execute these detainees? Where's your 'deep concern'?

#nzpol Attention: Chris Luxon, Winston Peters, and David Seymour. 1. Aotearoa New Zealand is NOT proud of your decision. You have shamed us terribly. 2. It is not a conflict. It's a f*ckin genocide. You have sided with Israel when it is committing GENOCIDE. 🧵 www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

Huge shame on the NZ government.

New Zealand does NOT have a debt problem.

It would be useful to have a similar analysis of NZ Facebook groups… www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Check it out @chrishipkins.bsky.social people really hate it when supposedly centre-left leaders do right wing shit for that sweet sweet racist vote, just something to keep in mind. #nzpol

get absolutely fucked you embarrassing clown of a man

#NZPol 40mins of rational hopeful Chlöe content. She is an excellent human. youtu.be/zl_LgDjpzxE?...

❌ The whole world is doing it tough ❌ No, we are pretty much going it alone with our crush the economy and set ourselves back a decade or two strategy. Orr started it, Robertson helped it along, and then Willis doubled-down on stupid - letting let the TPU, Act and NZI loons call the shots. [Ends]

❌ We have a two-speed recovery - the primary sector is leading us to salvation ❌ Let's be clear, higher export prices are helping us reduce our deficit with the rest of the world (a bit). But, the primary sector is near-meaningless jobs wise. Check out the little piggy pink line. And... [5/n]

Looks like a good time in the news cycle to tackle three big myths 🧵 ❌ NZ pension costs are an unsustainable burden ❌ Seriously, no, for lots of reasons. 1. Our current Govt spending on pensions is low compared to most other advanced economies. And... [1/n]

4. Ghouls have been wailing, wrongly, about this *forever* - see the excerpt from a UK Parliament debate in 1939 below. Sound familiar? 5. The unpaid work that older people do for their families, each other, and their communities has massive value. We should feel good about their UBI! [4/n]

🚨 Voices for Freedom and Local Elections 🚨 Last local elections VFF encouraged people to run for local council. Their plan was semi-successful, electing dozens of councillors and board members. This time around, they're far more organised. Read: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360... /1

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

absolutely ashamed of our piss weak country deliberately not recognising Palestine as a state. I hope everyone knows that that is the government's choice, not the people's

I'm sensing a bit of a pattern here: government stops some big project with no plans for a replacement, finds out that it's going to cost them more in the long run for a worse result. Huh, imagine that.

the current state of our politics

Nothing but pure contempt for the people who voted for this hateful little government www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Jeezus frickin’ Christ this government is so so awful. But they’ve gone too far not recognising Palestine. Time to hit the streets.

The headline should just read NZ Government Fails Palestine. #nzpol

Luxon can't be bothered going to the UN like real a world leader, but he is at the rugby. #nzpol
