Scotty - every day is a new outrage - NZ

Who benefits from Nats/Act/NZF #FossilFuel energy policy? Oil companies. And who just gave Nats/Act/NZF a $100k each? Oil companies- Greymouth Petroleum. And who pays the price? Ordinary people w higher cost of living. And we have to pay extra tax for the LNG import terminal.

New modelling shows renewable electricity can meet NZ’s future demand – without importing gas New Zealand could meet its electricity needs through renewables and avoid power shortages during dry years by combining battery systems with pumped hydro schemes.

#NZpol From a few days ago: New modelling shows renewable electricity can meet NZ’s future demand – without importing gas

- doubts the logic of “imposing a levy on electricity to fund an LNG terminal”, “because New Zealand also has a goal to achieve 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030,”

The poll numbers that could spell death for National Is the country on the right track, or the wrong track? How New Zealanders answer this question has long been a reliable election omen.

If the left wants a chance, it needs to channel the ambient public anger embodied in the “wrong track” results – channel it, & turn it into hope. The Greens & Te Pāti Māori, whatever form the latter takes, will undoubtedly supply ideas & inspiration. The big question mark, as ever, concerns Labour.

‘Not the Kiwi way’: Auckland business associations call on PM to axe move-on orders In an open letter to Christopher Luxon, the Karangahape Road and Uptown business associations said the orders send the “wrong message about our society”.

Get you some business association managers like Jamey from Karangahape Road, and Brent from Uptown 👏👏👏
And big shout out to the businesses behind them, who support doing what actually works to help those without homes rather than vice signalling.

Does anyone know anything about this group?

Racist

Some racist kook put this in my letter box.

I’m shocked and stoked

I bought an Ev and have solar and a contract with an energy company with a low overnight kw charge ( when I do most of my charging) I have got over 4000kms at a cost of about $150

While the pathetic grifters are whining about Labour 'ignoring advice' regarding COVID, here's a quick reminder #nzpol

Advice ignored

- Emissions Targets, etc
- Māori Health Authority
- Fast-track Bill

Chris is a lying little shit

Luxon’s diary blank for first three weeks of 2026 – but PM says he was working 'intensely' Other ministers had earlier engagements in their diaries.

You are a lying little shit, Chris …

“The Prime Minister says he was working “intensely” despite his diary not showing any entries for nearly the first three weeks of the year.”

The real lesson of the second Covid-19 inquiry? We live in a post-truth world Government ministers’ creative interpretations of the royal commission’s report took spin to scary new levels.

The Coalition adopting Trumpian post-truth lies about the second Covid-19 inquiry. Deserate lies by a desperate government.

Yeah! come on NZ media!

I believe him

This is the guy the NZ government wants to do a minerals deal with - seriously?

The tactics of a desperate and unpopular party

In today’s NZ Herald

Roof!

What’s your sign?

Draw bridge

What’s your sign

Nice

And they have no choice but to stick him - like a dead rat hanging around their neck

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Here is a balanced summary of the Covid 2nd report

Lockdown, vaccine decisions 'considered and appropriate' – Royal Commission The Covid-19 Royal Commission has broadly backed the decisions taken during the pandemic, while identifying areas for improvement.

The anti-vaxers will be spewing:

“We acknowledge that some people disagree with Medsafe’s decision that the benefits of [the Pfizer vaccine] Comirnaty outweighed its risks. They consider the risks of the vaccine then, and now, well outweigh any perceived benefit. We do not agree with that view.”

The trend is now obvious

This blows my mind

To be fair, we want him to be leader through to the election - so let them spin

I’m sure it will land well with their 28%

National lamenting $60 billion Covid spend while they are on track to borrow $120 billion with no pandemic.

Labour saved 20,000 lives.
