Hundreds of scientists and global leaders are converging on Christchurch for the world's largest and most influential climate adaptation gathering.

Methane makes up 48% of NZ's climate pollution. The Govt's grossly irresponsible announcement today that they will never have a price on methane, combined with their policies to increase the dairy herd, means that they have zero intention of meeting NZ Paris obligations.

goddam this stupid arrogant polluting-loving coalition. They can get in the bloody heating sea of hungry sharks #NZPol

Govt to cut #JobSeeker benefit for 18 & 19 year olds who’s parents earn over $65,000, even if the teens have a disability or health condition. With #CostOfLiving & the job shortage they’re cranking up stress levels to 11, all to meet a target. My #cartoon today about hard-nosed #NZpol

THIS!

I did some work for Paddy Gower Has Issues on the Online Casino Gambling Bill. Fair to say addicts think licensing 15 casinos here, who can advertise, is not a great idea.

You know a crappy thing about how we do lending for apartments in NZ? Because this is 30sqm it’s deemed too small to be eligible for a conventional mortgage and so requires about a 50% deposit (that’s part of why this is so cheap) so only landlords can afford it. www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/r...

I got involved in Labour around the time of the asset sales (the power companies). Pretty funny to see the predictions play out exactly as called. We fucked around and found out. #nzpol

“As I and the Prime Minister do” said our Minister of Education -😐 ffs #NationalNotFitToGovern

WHY are our networks casually reporting what Trump said and says without the critical fact-checking, correcting and calling out?! It’s embarrassing because we have stupid people here too (equally embarrassing…) #Autism #trump

Please help our sit-com! Lets see more of People Like Us - if you could help et us over the line to make the pilot ep, I'd be so very grateful! :) youtu.be/jUncnrS0IRI?...

Today is the vernal (spring) equinox - It is only at the equinox that the sun rises due east 🌅and sets due west 🌄 This means it's the first day of astronomical spring - overhead sun shifts from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere ☀️

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

"No Farmers, No Food" they love to wail, demanding we bail them out and cut the tax on their utes, and yet 27% of our kids are going hungry. This country is a failed state when it comes to self-sufficiency. It would rather sell its soul than feed its children.

ONG I’d just say to you it’s SO PAINFUL listening to our utterly incompetent talking/point cliche numpty of a Prime Minister OMFG how he is so useless?!! #nzpol #Luxon #OneTermGovt

This article explains how one man's greed and self-serving dishonesty sparked the dangerous myth that vaccines caused autism. The culprit's name was Andrew Wakefield. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/medicine...

So Simeon Brown just announced $20m "investment" in ED frontline staff, immediately after it was revealed Christchurch hospital is in code red every single day. But it turns out it's just OLD money from the 2025 budget & already allocated. Brown strikes again #nzpol #Kiwi

Good answers from #ClarkGayford to #JimMora on @RNZ just now. Jim is being disingenuous and trying to frame things in a “gotcha” - bad work from Mora - outstanding from Gayford

Our vacuous PM believes inertia is "balanced" and for someone who bangs on about a 'range of options" he sure does choose the shittest. Honestly #Luxons the worst and he's giving oxygen to the infinitely more dangerous #Winston and #Seymour. #nzpol

Would love a journalist to ask David Seymour which of Charlie Kirk's views he himself supports, and why he thinks a tribute to Charlie Kirk in NZ parliament would be appropriate.

This is appalling! Art History was the best subject ever! I learnt more about classics, world history and sociology from Art History than any other subject. General knowledge is IMPORTANT!!! OMFG…

So, this is a woman?

perfect!!

26 years after Georgina Beyer became the first openly trans Member of Parliament, our first non-binary MP is forced to resign following death threats and ongoing abuse. This is such an indictment of NZ politics. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

we deserve a PM who is less “relaxed” about his abysmal performance - this attitude makes him even more unlikeable. It’s over, Lux #Luxon #Nzpol

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

FAR OUT! Never been more embarrassed to be a South Cantabrian - Thanks @guywilliamsguy.bsky.social for ripping the bloody band aid off. None of those people will be remotely embarrassed- but I am. Allan Hubbard has a lot to answer to - #DirtyDairy #Farming

The perception of right wing being sound economic managers (masculine) and the left wing being bleeding hearted spenders (feminine) drives so much of NZ voting habits and political views. Patriarchy scoops your brain out.

Nicola Willis - "borrowed more to do less".That's a political obituary.

My reckons? Publicly-funded news/current affairs media, such as Radio NZ, shouldn't be chasing popularity and listener numbers, they should be focused upon providing solid news and quality information. That can include the arts, international events, politics, etc and be more relevant than ZB.

My cat been modelling in secret? #Ragdoll #Cats

Good work Greenpeace uncovering this muck. #nzpol

When I get told to spend my money by the Minister of Finance who wasted $600m on nothing

How is David Seymour getting to alter the foundations of Kiwi law, legislation, race relations and government when 92% of the country thinks he’s a lying prick, and the stitched-together three-way coalition barely won??? #nzpol

Fonterra sells Mainland, Anchor brands to French food giant Well this sucks - kiwi brands sold to France FFS who is this country anymore?

The absolute NERVE of bloody #NicolaWillis asserting she’s just a politician and we should listen to the economists and the data! WTF #NickyNoBoats!!! YOU have never listened to the bloody economists! You’ve ignored the data! You’ve ploughed on in defiance of all the warnings - just STFU now #nzpol

New Zealand lost its AA+ rating under Key, and regained it under Ardern. If political journalists were willing to include that sort of context it would be much harder for Nicky No-boats to lecture the left on fiscal responsibility. #nzpol

"Nicola Willis's Debt Higher Than All 6 Years of Ardern Government” - but it’s been spent on the richest, & stolen from the poorest NZers #nzpol thestandard.org.nz/nicola-willi...

Jacinda would have been invited to speak 😐#NzPol

National Standards wrecked the curriculum and a generation of young people’s education - National are as shit at Edication as they are everything else #nzpol

Have we ever had another prime minster who was so fundamentally disinterested in doing their job? Luxon's clearly in it for the junkets and nothing else.

chris luxon thinks it’s not about the polls - but it is about fixing the economy. Both ways it’s a “no”, mate #nzpol
