I do not understand how the ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTARY destruction of the original ferry replacement is not a massive political scandal?!

It was a reflexive ideological decision that has disadvantaged the country significantly.

love how over here on the algo-less blue sky i have no idea that there's a trend going on

Oh not at all, I’m shit at maths so may well have got it wrong 😑

Totes, I still enjoy driving past petrol stations ☺️

Big time! 😂

beautiful 🧡

someone was asking the other day if the power bill went up as a result of owning evs.

2017 EV - 500km = $30 (incl RUC)

2022 EV - 500km = $34 (incl RUC)

... so ...

#renewables #EV #RUC #Aotearoa

Indeed, rose gold over my way 🌹

The Clyde runs through my family land, too ☺️

The Public Health Communication Centre Aotearoa recommended in *2024* to extend eligibility for additional doses to younger age groups, especially those at occupational risk.

Could NZ media please follow up on why public health expert recommendations are not being followed, as a new wave ramps up 🫠

Luxon almost called Ingrid Hipkiss "Erica" while defending his premiership in the RNZ interview this morning. Hmm.

Seeing him go into his well-deserved-slow-motion-train-wreck-comeuppance is completely delicious.

Just remembering how Luxon bought a new Tesla EV when there was a Clean Car Discount, then cancelled the policy so others couldn't do it, and is now canning the Clean Car Standards and adding a new tax to petrol.

What a guy.

So if we want to know why dialysis is being rationed, there's a clear answer: it's so the 311 richest families in the country can enjoy one of the lowest effective tax rates in the world. We're killing people in order to make the ultra-rich ultra-richer
