"Many states have come to the conclusion that they need to recognise the state of Palestine to give it a chance of ever materialising. That's the issue, and New Zealand hasn't put its weight behind that." "the Prime Minister should have fronted at the press conference last Monday” … #nzpol

#nzpol Aotearoa New Zealand, Everywhere that Chris Luxon, David Seymour, Winston Peters or any CoC-up govt MPs turn up, I want you to #TurnYourBacks. Give your back to them and their cameras. Do it for Palestine! If they're speaking, turn your back. If they enter any room, turn your back!

If you’re in Wellington / Poneke there is a protest against the genocide in Gaza and our government’s shameful complicity at 1 pm in Cuba Street, by the bucket fountain. #nzpol

This government are fucking cowards and I hope they get run out of office next year if they don't collapse under the weight of their own incompetence before then www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Someone might want to remind the Minister for Racing, Railways, and being a Drop Nuts about who keeps (literally) blowing up Gaza negotiations. #NZPol

Fuck Winston Peters fuck this government #freePalestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns. It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets. Via @heatmap.news

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

“Aspiring to average” not only failed to meet the expectations of Australians who wanted ambitious actions on climate change, but failed to meet its obligations ❤️‍🔥https://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/climate-scientists-target-albanese-as-turkey-holds-out-on-cop-talks-20250923-p5mx6w.html

What CRAP! The govt cut its contribution in half. Literally. And told employers to increase theirs. Am only too aware, being self-employed #nzpol

NEW #ProductionGap report out today! @neilgrant.bsky.social told @theguardian.com “So far, renewable energy growth has been an addition alongside fossil fuel demand, and we haven’t seen peak demand. But given the pace of change in the energy system that could change quite significantly."

I’m worried it can still get stupider

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

While this was done to compare Australia with the rest of the new #climate targets, look at NZ. Embarrassing. #nzpol

Remember when the Key Govt vilified & got their Dirty Politics attack dogs onto ecologist Mike Joy for daring to say #TooManyCows He warned us. Awesome work @domesticanimal.bsky.social

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today. Charlie Kirk was no exception.

OH MY FUCK GAWD, is this the funniest thing ever to happen? #NZPol

Australia's new and unambitious 2035 #climate target is "baffling" considering the climate risk assessment released earlier this week, says @billhare.bsky.social This graphic shows level of warming if all countries were to take similar action. Full press release here bit.ly/CA_Aus2035_t...

"Sliding doors moment"- really nice description. Australia releases a terrifying #climate risk assessment, a handy guide for what is set to be a weak target so we can work out how much warming it thinks its citizens can take #auspol #auspol2025

Bill Hare @billhare.bsky.social - climate scientists and former IPCC Leas Author - says the recently released Australian NCRA **is one of the best risk assessments done globally** “a very fine piece of work” He’s far less enthusiastic about political silly statements www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was: * successful at everything he tried * genuinely intelligent & insightful * desired by women * envied by men * an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with * a tireless, lifelong philanthropist ... and he died peacefully in his sleep. 10/10 life. No notes.

It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. More… 1/

New @iea.org report: both oil and gas are seeing *RISING* decline rates - ie, you need to burn more cash every year just to get the same volume. If we don't exit this 19th century absurdity ASAP we're going to be paying for it, very literally in this case iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/0edbe...

This one hurts. RIP Robert Redford. Here's a fun story from yesterday.

In no way should it take a UN body to issue a report for people to accept this, *but* this does clearly does help get the normies activated and aware (particularly when published on an outlet like the ABC). Send it around! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

We've never had a politicised judiciary. Please can we not start now. NZ First seems to be increasingly going maga and I don't like it #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/15/j...

Superb article from Tim Hazledine - the Reserve Bank has been working against the best interests of New Zealanders for decades, and it’s time to draw a line under that #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

So Watties dumps local Hawkes Bay peach growers b/c they found cheaper alternatives to fill the gap after Cyclone Gabrielle. This is a direct result of climate change. This is a climate change story, but it’s almost guaranteed that no media will take this angle. #nzpol

All Blacks getting thrashed gets 7.5 mins prime time on RNZ just ahead of the PM; Imagine the coverage if they’d just made it into the RWC semi finals. Would they have been relegated to 5 mins at 630am like the Black Ferns were this morning? #nzpol
