I love the fuel-emergency dark humour, comrades, but the real joke is imagining this government would last five minutes if Luxon were forced to do *one-tenth* the public-facing work Ardern did in 2020
Civil defence has done a plan for this. See page 39

We've found a use for a spare 280MW of electricity, we'll turn it into hallucinations that will poach your Jobs

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown to work remotely following hip surgery
It's quite incredible how these men in high places can suddenly work just as well remotely, when it suits them to do so #NZPol
Let's return to collective acts of care to protect the vulnerable - wear masks in in hospitals and blood labs and get a booster in this ninth Covid wave
This is behind a paywall and I can't seem to find it on a government website 🤦🤣😭
OH MY GOD THEY'RE DOING PANDEMIC LEVELS FOR FUEL

I mean, it's not actually a surprise that they think this; it's been pretty obvious for a while.
It is a surprise that they're stupid enough to say it out loud.
Thank you. Really appreciate it.
This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
So strange eh? I've taken down my original post cause I don't want to cause confusion. But I am confused. I will just go in for my six month one and see what happens.
Thank you. I've been trying to find some medical advice.
Now imagine if we had electrified the inter-city rail we used to have all over this nation.

Yeah. It says the change was made to the Immunisation Handbook as of Feb 2026. My partner got their six monthly booster no questions asked on Monday but I had another friend who was refused one today. 🤷

We’ve had 50 years’ notice on oil shocks – and what we could do to insulate ourselves against them (solar, hydro, rail, public transport, cycling) and not only DIDN’T we do it, our infrastructure is so (un-)robust that it can all be shattered by, get this, ONE GUY’s actions.
By the time we get to the election we'll have no ferries, no fuel and insufficient solar power roll out. And the CoC will blame Labour

What if King Lear was not a tragedy, but the blackest comic horror
Ways the govt could quickly help New Zealanders reduce fuel usage, but probably won’t 🤷, for reasons:
⚠️ Lower speed limits
🚌 Encourage PT (eg bring back half-priced fares)
🚲 Encourage active modes (eg pop-up bike paths)
🛤️ Move freight from road to rail (eg ramp up KiwiRail)
🏡 Support work-from-home

I'm glad we went through all that pain from austerity and cost-cutting for fucking nothing. Just like every other time it's been tried by every other government. At some point we're going to need a government that is going to invest in the people that live here.
Yup .... enjoy people ... because this is what back on track looks like ... 😢
Back on track ...😥
