When government ministers dismiss deadly storm events as "just weather", as Mark Mitchell did on RNZ just now, they reveal themselves to be unfit for government. It's thinly veiled climate denial.

Think this is right. The NZCA's comments practically give doctors the certainty they need to keep prescribing medicine to their trans patients in accordance with their professional judgement. Excellent! My view that the NZCA decision gets there in an odd way isn't an issue on that front at all.

After the deadly climate change-amplified weather recently, the Luxon Govt claimed it is taking action on climate change. But their actions actually make climate change worse by increasing emissions. Here is the evidence👇

NZ has fallen into a 'crisis and response' pattern on climate disaster, experts say. Billions have been spent on storm recovery since 2023, while key climate adaptation funding and planning tools have been cut. My story looking at last week’s storms www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Look. What I say to you is this. Lost you home, livelihood, community or life to climate change? Well, you're on your own. We gave the climate emergency fund to landlords. Want to produce more fossil fuels? Sure. Here's $200 million and a wrecked ETS. #nzpol

While scouring the British Newspaper Archive for news reports on the Black and Tans, I found this very intriguing and unrelated article from 1920.

Tá áthas orm a bheith páirteach sa Chomhdháil Aiteach a reáchtálfar in @ucdscoilglcb.bsky.social sa Mheitheamh. Seo an chéad chomhdháil da leithéid ina dtabharfar le chéile an taighde faoin aiteacht agus na healaíona aiteacha sa Ghaeilge. Gach eolas sa ghairm ar pháipéir.

A climate emergency fund would be useful right about now. Oh, that's right, Luxon canned it so he could funnel more money to landlords.

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hard not to feel cynical about the government's concerns after yet another climate disaster. They looted the Climate Emergency Response Fund and were boasting earlier this week about expanding fossil fuel use as their flagship energy policy.

As we suffer the aftermath of more January floods in the North Island, it’s good to remember that Luxon has systematically and intentionally made things worse..

The tragic loss of lives in NZ flooding events this week are climate change deaths. Media and govt are avoiding the topic. Leaders and commentators must acknowledge the emerging reality of ordinary summer rainstorms carrying volumes of water akin to tropical cyclones of previous decades.

I'm honestly so sick and heartbroken watching incredibly passionate, skilled, and qualified healthcare workers being so burnt by the funding cuts carried out by this government that they're leaving the healthcare system altogether. #nzpol
