Luxon Govt stopped or blocked four key structural projects which would reduce fossil gas dependence: NZ Battery Project, Gas Transition Plan, Govt Investment in Decarbonising Industry, and Offshore Wind.

The pipes, ma, they're calling

Reminder: National has always taken the side of Apartheid regimes.

Fantastic album. I know several people that were at their Auckland '86 gigs, as captured on RockinnreelininAucklandNewZealandXXX, and they still talk about it.

New Zealanders, also.

This horseshit just turned up on my Insta feed. Shame on our incumbent mayor for linking himself to these racist, venal pricks, shame on them for pushing this crap. Vote this ignorant, useless clown out. #nzpol #Dunedin

Will be interesting to see how long it takes the gallery to start asking cabinet ministers "Do you have confidence in Chris Luxon as Prime Minister ?" If it's any time in the next few weeks, he's deep in trouble. #nzpol #spull

Yikes. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

PSA - 24 hours of Coltrane alert ! I highly recommend you tune in.

Is the new album by The Circling Sun as good as their debut (which I am really enjoying listening to this afternoon) ?

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... Luxon & his coalition tipping over the beehive and leaving devastation in its wake... But at least the farmers are happy... #NzPol #Caricature #Cartoon #BeehiveNZ #Coalition #Signage

why is luxon wearing a high vis vest for this announcement? him wearing that is hilarious to me. especially standing next to stanford looking all professional and like an actual politician. not a weenis in a suit and high vis.

Book Cover of the Day:

I suspect he's deliberately trying to wreck the economy. Donald is Vlad's favorite asset... and he seems to have a raging Tariff Boner as well.

If you’re not from NZ, saw viral videos of that haka at London’s Nazi rally yesterday, and were very confused by what you saw, check this out so I don’t have to explain a million times over the next few days how Brian Tamaki and his cult aren’t representative of all Māori. Kei te tino ngenge ahau.

now there's an obit I can get behind www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I remember seeing this on tv at the time. One of the flour bombs it dropped landed on All Black prop Gary Knight's head. It's just amazing that no one, inside or outside the ground, actually died.

probably hard for christopher to spot this through the tinted limo windows

Excellent, insightful thread.

Years ago, I bought an old (1941) OS map of Newcastle, Co Down from Oxfam for a quid. While there was some detail on the left, the rest was just sea and empty. My niece studied art at @ulsteruni.bsky.social so we challenged her to fill in the blank with “lovecraftian madness”. Today we hung it

I work near the Dunedin one, will be interesting to see how busy it is tomorrow morning.

Today's NZ Herald. Hooton's a blowhard, of course, but this would still be great to see. #nzpol

I set my camera up for a 7min exposure while I went for a midnight walk with my torch to the tip of Tunnel Beach headland. Despite the bright images it was actually pitch black & I was terrified I'd end up in the briny. #Nikon D750 Tokina 11-16mm f5.6 ISO1600 7 mins #DunnerStunner #Photography
