Truly in the find out era of underfunding critical infrastructure in favour of "low rates"

Karanga-a-Hape Station Auckland/Tāmaki. Oh still my beating heart! 😍

While global attention has been focused on Lebanon, strikes in Gaza have continued. At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes, with 9 bodies received at Shifa Hospital overnight — including 2 women and 2 children.

Uncomfortably dumb. Many people don’t know it has a b in it.

The bigliest

Follow the money. Who is pushing this? Right wing cunts looking to take your money.

If you’re a Labour MP or Democrat who still thinks courting the right will get you votes, you’re not smart enough to govern a damn thing.

1. move to a drier climate -The end.

Back on track, eh?

In any other market this would result in a ComCom prosecution for abuse of market power, but both National and Labour have legislated to make it perfectly legal behavior in the electricity market #nzpol

Please AoNZ labour people, give us some policies, give us some fire, give us some fucking hope. Its time now. You promised after the budget. Not wishy washy more of the same ism, be bold, get people excited, grow a fucking spine. Because if you lose this one by doing nothing, we are truly fucked.

From the UK to New York, the real fightback is against the multi-millionaires and billionaires who have stolen our wealth and power - and the media that protect them. Zohran gets that. And we do too: join.greenparty.org.uk

Political donations, influence and elections. My #cartoon today #NZpol

There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons. North Korea and Israel. One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide. It isn't North Korea.

Ireland 🇮🇪 showing the way again. Ireland 🇮🇪 and Spain 🇪🇸 seem to be the moral voices of Europe. Thank you Ireland 💚❤️👏

Hey remember the ram raids panic ahead of 2023?

Violent far-right protests have become a regular feature in towns and cities across the UK in recent years along with episodic riots such as those of 2024 and those we saw last night in Southampton. This is a shocking change which would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

Today in “yes we could solve the problems but the the problems would be solved and people won’t suffer we can’t have that”

Really gross that the govt is now recognising people in the King's Birthday Honours who were leaders of the antivax occupation of Parliament. m.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO26...

Government lawyers told Winston Peters that NZ would still make its own decisions under updated WHO rules, but he insisted the changes put sovereignty at stake and rejected them. My report: newsroom.co.nz/2026/06/03/f...

NEW: Israel and Lebanon agree to renew their cease-fire for the next ten minutes or so.

And *still* farmers continue fouling our waterways 😡 Waihi farmer fined $39,000 for discharging cow waste www.rnz.co.nz/news/country...

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

Update from RNN on Gaza tonight. #Gaza

Paul Fuge from Consumer: 1/4 can't pay power bill. NZ has the 4th highest price despite most of our generation is from renewables. Price has risen 20% in 2 years. Gentailers took profits for years without bldg new generation. We need a new model. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

Report author Shamubeel Eaqub said the research challenged the assumptions that stopping projects saved money. "The surprising finding is how expensive pausing or cancelling projects really is. Delays create inflation costs, productivity losses and defer public benefits that compound over time."

The terrifying warning from AI experts www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

Of course the person trying to argue with me that Israel is not committing a genocide in Palestine (they are) is also anti-trans… It’s never surprising when people reveal their true colors.

It's not that I think govt *should* help every business, or that every biz even deserves it - but National always claims they're "the Party of business!": with us, biz *always* has a great future. Then they fuck all the conditions up in which that could be possible. Yet people STILL VOTE FOR THEM.

It’s pathetic that the govt actually cited the potential role for schools in emergencies in its announcement of the $30m solar plan for schools while cutting the scheme for marae which consistently fulfil this role during emergencies.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul, only cos Peter is brown

The FSU’s motto: “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death my right to sue you or get you fired for it.”

ACT and their litany of jackarses probably didn't realise that the Local Government Act 2009 is not touched Aka the IMSB stays on the Committees of the Whole at Auckland Council Oh and the Bill also upends Local Water Done Well arrangements

So disgusting but the time will come that we'll have to pay to get a job.😵‍💫

How can Top be at 6% (latest Roy Morgan poll)🥴

It's finally happened. My little account has been suspended from x for 'inauthentic behaviours' meaning some Zionist scum has reported me to Adolf Muck for hurting their feelings. Well. The only thing I'll be missing are some great accounts I'm trying to find here.

A left-wing govt would never survive the scandal of letting a corporation write law. If we let this govt get away with it, much worse is coming. #NZPol

we’re at the point where the national broadcaster has become so routinely obsequious to american fascism that it syndicates obvious propaganda even beyond the obvious military and imperialist requirements its just sad and embarrassing now

Same old NZ.. exploiting immigrant workers. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Same with the diabetes drugs special authority criteria, taking away ethnicity. Deadly. #nzpol
