Back-of-the-envelope estimate:
90% × ~75–80% ≈ ~65–70% of the crude underlying NZ fuel imports originates in the Gulf
Therefore roughly two-thirds of the oil supply chain behind NZ fuel probably passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
So just asked GPT a question about NZ petroleum imports.
Rough estimate of NZ exposure to Hormuz
Putting the pieces together:
~90%+ of NZ fuel imports come from those Asian refineries.
~75–80% of their crude comes from the Persian Gulf.
Most Gulf crude exports go through Hormuz.

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

Pepperidge farm remembers when the gammons complained that the governments message was too simplistic and "everyone knows this stuff already"
Equally he is also the WORST Prime Minister we have, by a long way!
Is that fund for people who arrest Tony Blair still active?
Sounds like a desperate plea of "Our donors paid us lots of cash so don't touch our stuff while we are out of office!".
I can not say this enough!
Never trust a Tory!

Come on people, it's ONLY a poll! HE would do MUCH better in the real election.
Lets all get behind our PM to get him across the line! It's important to get our support behind the him now!
CEO-PM for PM again!

Headline from RNZ which reads "Andrew was the Queen's favoutite. Did she do too much to protect him?" once again shifting the blame for his actions onto a woman, who is also dead! FFS it's HIM, he is the ponce! He decided to go and do these things. No one made him do this! He thought he was above the law and now he is finding out!
Still finding ways to blame a woman!
FFS it's HIM, he is the ponce! He decided to go and do these things. No one made him do this! He thought he was above the law and now he is finding out!
I costs $552 a day to have someone in prison, how about we put pay to put them in a house instead, it will be cheaper! Or is there some donor with a private prison they want to pay off!

From BHN and @clrenney.bsky.social, a deep dive into the LNG proposal. It is worse that canning the ferries without having a replacement ready to go.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury's post "The growing list of countries that are investigating or pushing leaders to step down over the Epstein Files ⬇️ -The UK -Norway -Sweden -Slovakia -France -Latvia -Lithuania -Poland -Ireland Meanwhile, the U.S. President is trying to tell Americans to “move on” after he appears 38,000 times in the files, alongside dozens of friends and associates, including the Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the Navy, Fed Chair nominee, and DOGE appointee — and both his DOJ and FBI appointees actively lied to the American people about disclosures. It is not time to move on. It’s time for accountability!"
Are the New Zealand government demanding access to the Epstein files to determine if some of our citizens need arresting?
I am led to believe that Peter Thiel was a great freind to Epstein.

Shouldn't the electricity generators be paying for this out of their MASSIVE FUCKING PROFITS?
It seems like it is another case of "Socalism for corporations and capitalism for customers!"

A picture from the Guardian showing Ponce Andrew looking sweaty while on hands and knees over an un-identified woman/girl who is lying on her back.
Ponce Andrew is looking pretty fucking sweaty in this photo!
Look at all the languages they can publish.
Why does Air New Zealand drape itself in the Koru and Maori symbolism and yet cannot bothered to publish their website in The Reo Maori?
I don't speak Te Reo but FFS I am not using Maori cultural symbols to make money. Did consecutive CEO's just say what it the least we can do?
Seems like Winston can talk and gargle orange balls at the same time!
Oh dear, she leaves without being PM! I guess she isn't going to roll Luxon! Goodbye to whale-oil politics and good riddence!

A headline from RNZ which shows founder of I am hope Mike King. Lots of questions as to whether the charity should have been awarded money by the NAF coalition in a "special opt out" proceedure. The auditor-general's office also noted that it could not examine the internal practices - such as remuneration - of I Am Hope itself, because the charity was a private organisation.
Pepperidge farm remembers the outrage at the Labour Green coalition refusing to give Gumboot Friday money because they didn't fill out the required application paperwork. It seems that that was justified now that the shoe is on another foot!

Have we got our cheap 2nd hand Toyota of a ferry yet?
I'm sure the 'tough on crime' govt will have them all in jail any minute now. That's how it works, right?

An image of the NZHerald 'opinion piece' in which Erica Standford gets given a free pulpit to tell readers some bushit about why she is "removing Treaty of Waitangi requirements for school boards" and I couldn't read cause it is behind a paywall! I may be jumping the gun a bit about calling it bullshit BUT I do actually believe that this government is not a government of ALL New Zealanders and in fact they are activly working to cause harm to those that are not the white majority. Never Trust a tory! Oh the picture is off Erica Stanford just about to eat a passle of school children, actually no she is just sitting with them and they are wishing they could do double maths instead!
Maybe it's because you want to FURTHER marginalise the people that Te Tiriti is supposed to protect!

Around Trump you need to keep a hand on your wallet at all times!
I thought "Ponce Andrew" had a better ring to it!
One of those should be "Add means testing to make it fair"
As per ususal a ruddy look at politics in the UK, with insights that the rest of us should be aware of. I would reccomend subscribing to @supertanskiiii.bsky.social as she is an inspiration of sweary rage brought on by the right and the powerfull!
