Why don't people just swallow condoms full of oil and then fly it out of the region on a commercial airliner?

Well then time to tell the road and truck lobby groups to sit down and let the adults be in charge.

1000 EV truck tractor Units you can get with a low interest loan

I wonder if we survive this, whether the broader voting public will come to again value expertise, professionalism and competence

Hard to believe the biggest fuckups in the history of the world fucked this up

What's the Temu Streisand Effect?

Don't overlook blinkered, myopic ideology. This has been the most evidence averse government I've ever known, and so sadly I don't know that they have the mental capacity or imagination to recognise the reality of the new situation they're finding themselves in

Trump & Hegseth fired the experts and replaced them with dumb loyalists.

“The Strait of Hormuz is not just an oil chokepoint. The Middle East accounts for about 24% of global sulphur production, and sulphur is the feedstock for sulphuric acid used across nickel, copper & fertilizer supply chains.“

Important reminder that the US is intentionally, before the world, not prosecuting or even investigating anyone involved in the Epstein files.

nick leggett's legacy coming brutally and destructively to the fore now with NZ's immense reliance on roads and truck freight

very few people who can so singularly be held responsible for the failures of policy, and especially without having any real public accountability whatsoever

This seems like something we should have going on in #nzpol

He really can't pull it off. And I realise I'm blinded by his earlier career choices, but I see him and all I see is a roll on deoderant bottle with eyes

Fuel costs could drive New Zealand trucking businesses to the ground More than 90 percent of freight in Aotearoa is moved by road.

What an appalling set of circumstances if you needed logistics and distribution for things like food

Hahaha thankee. And never ever he

As a bald man I approve of this thread

Watching the media casually talking about fuel rationing & the possibilites of carless days or other radical reaction, calmly & yeah I get it, don't spook the horses but by god I am outraged because I know if this happened under a Labour government there would be "Waily, waily, waily!" #NZPol

How much is that LNG plant gonna cost us?

Dumbest motherfuckers to have held the seat of power in the Beehive ever.

Oh my christ could you imagine the conniptions Spanky Seymour & his merry band of cultists would say 'no gummit gonna tell me how to save money & get free power'

The secretive Tory donor with the golden visa – and the ear of the Beehive Who is the British billionaire who, during his visit to Wellington in December, met with four ministers in the space of 25 hours?

Don't let this one fly under the radar either

About time an adult stood up.

Interislander sailing cancelled after technical fault found A single return sailing had to be cancelled on the Kaiārahi ferry after an intermittent technical fault was discovered just hours before a scheduled maintenance layby.

Interislander is down to one operational ferry for several days.
Gee , if only we had a couple of brand new ferries and handling facilities by now....

“Man who repealed the bipartisan approach to climate change now claims he wants a bipartisan approach to climate change”

We warned you about putting fundamentally leaky and insecure "AI" systems into the research and education environment, bro! We fucken told you bro!

This is what absolute failure looks like.

3. It is important to remember that there are other ways of managing inflation than keeping a bufferstock of people on the dole. The Govt can take direct action to reduce unemployment. They choose not to. They prefer to keep labour subjugated, atomised... whole communities abandoned. Ghouls. (Ends)

I personally think increasing the number of unemployed by destroying the businesses that employed them might not have been the best option

Luxon, having repealed all climate change policy, now wants a "bipartisan" approach.

Fuck that and fuck him. He's shown he can't be trusted. #nzqt

Car-less days? Government mulls Muldoon-era mandates as prices soar Legislation under review gives ministers the power to force car-less days or limit the sale of petrol.
