New Zealand 6pm news. - Only 3% of disaster response funds are spent on improving resilience - youth unemployment rampant - NZ’s water infrastructure is shit Things that improve society involves spending billions. All the govt can do is whine about spending.

What will all the cheerleaders of the BSA shutdown do when unfettered hate speech is directed towards them?

Quite a bit of attempted controlling of the media going on this week. Like Orban. And Rump.

It didn’t take long for the motivation behind canning the BSA to be thrown into the spotlight. They want unfettered racist hate speech to become normalised. #nzpol

I’m sure the Platform, VFF and other right wing outlets will do an awesome job of self regulating.

You appalling cretins

Fascist gonna fash

“…the Middle East conflict dampens tentative signs of a recovery this year” What tentative signs of recovery? New Zealand’s economy was being tanked quite purposefully before this excuse came along.

Updating shit-list…

What did you think would happen to rates when you cancelled three waters and replaced it with nothing? “As an Aucklander facing a 7.9% rates increase, it’s a little tiring every week,”

Tariff that shit

First step towards “they’re taking your jobs”

Man it must be tough getting free land all the time.

I will say this. Ha ha suck it Jones.

I did a whoopsie, please change my nappy, rest of world.

Could their corporate boot licking be even more transparent

Thank you Melania for making sure this joke reached every corner of the globe

“You can't just pay yourself lots of money without having a source of revenue." You also can’t pay yourself lots of money while sending tens of billions offshore for oil and foreign banks. #nzpol

Still overpriced shitboxes? - checks notes - Yes.

TVNZ in the wrong corridor gives Luxon the excuse he needs to flee from Tova’s difficult questions

"Maui's closure is another sign that New Zealand is now transitioning away from gas," Webb said. Well except for the billion dollar LNG terminal of course *chortle*

OMG what a bunch of desperados

So NOW a property expert is saying people who bought at the peak “drank the Kool-aid”. At the time of the peak, how many “property experts”, banks, house flippers, media, estate agents, were suggesting perhaps it’s not a great time to buy? NONE. All of them just poured fuel on the FOMO fire. #nzpol

Hey National party. I’d like to introduce your actions to your consequences..

Wow, Tova wasn’t taking any shit with the hallway questions.

Guess everyone is “being hysterical”, right Jones?

Yes congratulations you achieved cut through. If cut through means shouting from the rooftops “I’m a racist wanker”.

“Detained by ICE officers without any explanation” After a week still no explanation. Honestly who would want to voluntarily go to the US with these goons getting a payout for everyone they put behind bars.

Meanwhile Australia's giving away free power during the day and the UK is paying people to use it over summer

Of course he’s adamant, he’s an entitled wanker. However I hope he stays till the election to maximise the chances of National getting booted out.

Trump just going through every country in the world, criticising them in alphabetical order.

Tell us more about that ‘number of things’ you’ve done to encourage rooftop solar, Luxon. "We're very interested in rooftop solar, we've done a number of things to make it easier for people to do so, but again it's about, we want a strategic coal reserve behind …"

“Dildo found in bag could be used as a +1 hurling weapon”

Ask any New Zealand politician why we can’t do this here and prepare for a masterclass in spin and bullshit. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news... #nzpol

Calls of “no eveidence” following shortly after implementing move-on laws

How’s that Corolla ferry decision going, Nicola Willis?

“You’ve all got fuel because National is cool”

Worth reading this just to see the deleted “I am Jesus” post

The news blares out headlines of excitement whenever house prices go up 1%. The real story, that our houses are overpriced, just gets buried.

This is great news. Trump and Putin must be spewing.

Man they’d have to be such morons to go ahead with the LNG terminal. Oh wait. They are.

That cat needs a mental health check in

Is the low inflation in the room with you now, RBNZ?

I must admit I thought trucking companies would have electrified much sooner. The potential savings on diesel are astronomical, and that was before Iran.

It’s #$US 8.70 A gallon in New Zealand. No tears to shed for the Americans.
