People who think this government will be voted out in November are ignoring the power of this money
And call out the lies
These arseholes know they are spreading falsehoods and it's the MSMs job (and every person that calls themselves a journalist) to call out lies
If you want rid of this CoC, then this is what you are fighting against
And note he likes TOP just as much as the other Cs
This election will be close and it will decide the fate of AoNZ

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
The level of lying on Facebook from National over the Covid report is extreme and frightening and I hope some in the media have the guts to write about it. It's absolutely not normal and is a MASSIVE red flag for the state of democracy and political norms in the country #nzpol
The great forgetting that NZers enjoyed months of domestic travel, holidays, economic stability while large areas of the world were dealing with hospitals collapsing, deaths, lockdowns and restrictions.
I think most people do remember and also appreciate that 20000 New Zealanders survived
But there is a group of people who see profit and power by pretending it was all bad - there is no lie they will not spread
And yes there are some who genuinely believe it was all bad
If you've taken a job at The herald you've already lost any sense of shame
Cartoon. Title: “Energy Drink” Picture shows Methanex president and CEO Rich Sumner sucking the dregs out of a can labelled “NZ” and saying, “Just a minute - nearly done” On the can, in small print it says, “Consumes 45% of NZ’s Natural Gas. Pays $70m to Canadian Owner. Receives high ETS subsidies. Too broke to pay taxes”
Fuel shortages and rising prices. A proposal to import expensive and dirty LNG and impose a gas levy. And then there’s Methanex, sucking up 45% of our natural gas.
My #cartoon today #NZpol #Fuel #FossilFuel
Lucky that Labour’s clean car regulations and EV subsidy has shifted our domestic fleet to 50% electric reducing the pressure on petrol
Oh wait
Bizarre seeing the ghouls lambasting the apparently outrageous spending during the early 2020s. Turns out that it is not that easy to balance the books when you crash the economy. Austerity always backfires.
Under Jacinda Arden’s leadership the Labour Government’s Covid response was one of the best in the world in the circumstances, and likely saved over 20,000 lives.
The second Covid inquiry concludes:
What folk seem to forget is that the same people [surgeons & anaesthetists mostly] who work in public health part-time, also work in private part-time. The key limitation is access to a fully staffed and functioning theatre. Just where does Brown think he will magic the people from?
Just disgusting that this from one of our predatory banks is given airtime
Private surgeries take money from the public purse to enrich their investors including the banks
I'm sorry but the judges giving home detention for paedophiles are coming close to condoning the crime.
It's horrific offending and this guy and the Gloriavale one deserve prison. The judges in both cases are undermining the justice system.
Submitters’ primary concerns about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines can be categorised as follows. ° mRNA vaccines (which use messenger RNA to instruct the body’s cells to produce a viral protein that evokes an immune response in the person receiving them) alter DNA or modify genes, causing cancer and other harmful conditions. ° The manufacturing process for Comirnaty was changed which affected its safety. ° The Comirnaty vaccine was still ‘experimental’ at the time of approval and had not been properly tested. ° The Comirnaty vaccine produced harmful side effects which authorities have not acted on appropriately. ° The long-term effects of the Comirnaty vaccine remain uncertain. 1383 We have carefully considered these issues, drawing on advice and evidence from a range of experts and sources, including studies provided to us by submitters, research published in leading scientific journals and conclusions from international regulatory authorities and the COVID-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board. This review makes clear that the concerns raised are not grounded in reliable evidence or aligned with scientific consensus. While we acknowledge the sincerity of those who brought these concerns to us, ultimately our conclusions reflect the most robust and widely accepted scientific evidence available.
Prepare for meltdowns from any VFF or similar people in your life. I think they genuinely convinced themselves the phase 2 report was going to prove them right.
Reader, it did not.
The 2nd Covid inquiry report shows broad approval for decisions made.
Were the funds well spent on two inquiries going over the same stuff - lockdowns, vaccines, testing, etc?
No.
Where is the inquiry looking into disinformation and Long Covid?
Not the minister we were looking for
Just had my Covid booster. Pharmacist says they have had a steady stream of people getting it
Oh yay
RNZ interviews one of our predatory bankers that strip billions out of AoNZ each year about ...
How to ruin our health system but shoveling public money into private health vampires
Counter proposal: zone Parnell only for density and leave the rest of Auckland alone.
No they aren't
I have just learned a woman on the Maori electoral roll checked her details overnight and found she was registered as living in a place a long way from where she actually lives. #NZPol #ElectoralRollThis news caused one of the people I live with to check their status. (1/2)
Imagine Liam, if this govt had accelerated, even just continued, energy transition, getting NZ off the oil&gas addiction, liberating our economy from this vulnerability they would have something real to offer. But no, they chose the exact opposite, for reasons.

NZ politicians from *all* parties should recognise that science is not something to 'conveniently' repackage to suit your government’s short-term goals, but a long-term driver of good for the country.
When you cut at it, you cut at *everyone’s* longer-term future.

And then she joins TOP which espouses a flat tax rate that will make the rich richer and the poor poorer
She simply wants a cushy MP job again
Designed to pay for the services Kiwis want from government
Rather than designed to get votes and donations
The Greens wealth tax would have taxed their capital gains at about 40%
Assuming a very conservative 5% gain each year
Whats better for Northland, a gold plated four lane $4,000,000,000 expressway between Warkworth and Wellsford that, checks notes, ISN'T EVEN YET IN NORTHLAND
Or 80km of right sized improvements to SH1 In-between Warkworth and Whangarei done in a fraction of time and cost?
This is the thing I can't get my friends to understand - scientists are inherently conservative
So if a scientist says there might be a problem - they really mean run for the hills - now
