Apparently, Kegseth hasnβt destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.
Country holds breath to see what runs out first: petrol or Prime Minister
How things change
New documents reveal Ferry Holdings is relying on council-owned ports to cover cost blowouts.
This thread details pretty much exactly what you'd expect a Trump/Hegseth war would be.
Luxon can do The Country but not q+a
Exactly. It's just pure political cowardice
The Office of the Auditor General is asking for documents from Chris Bishop and his officials as it considers whether to look into his decision to house money earmarked for stormwater for a walking and cycling bridge in his electorate:

He also hasn't responded to me, despite giving immediate responses to the prior posts. Very suspicious and stinks of shit to me!
Just fucking cap donations - end of.
TOP pretend to be edgy and progressive, but are ultimately a right wing party with progressive bits tacked on.
Are we supposed to trust "Q" won't prop up another austerity government?

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.
Cartoon. Title: βEnergy Drinkβ Picture shows Methanex president and CEO Rich Sumner sucking the dregs out of a can labelled βNZβ and saying, βJust a minute - nearly doneβ On the can, in small print it says, βConsumes 45% of NZβs Natural Gas. Pays $70m to Canadian Owner. Receives high ETS subsidies. Too broke to pay taxesβ
Fuel shortages and rising prices. A proposal to import expensive and dirty LNG and impose a gas levy. And then thereβs Methanex, sucking up 45% of our natural gas.
My #cartoon today #NZpol #Fuel #FossilFuel
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.
Credit where it's due: it's really good that Andrew Little not only signed this letter but is vocal against this government's kick-the-homeless bullshit.
I really love that Wellington's leaders are speaking out against this cruelty - Auckland's and Christchurch's should do the same.
See if you can spot the impact of that wild Cvid spending on private sector debt levels. Damn that gubmint for reducing the debt we're leaving our kids.
Current NZ coalition messaging:
"The recovery from the economic downturn caused by our incompetence has been set back by the actions of a US president whose policies we completely support." #NZpol
Crazy cvid years clearly visible... just look at those excessive subsidies to, errrm, keep businesses afloat and support our creaking health system.
Spend on social protections hit 13% of GDP in 2022! Numbers not seen since 2011 π€. Oh, and in 2025 after RBNZ & Govt tanked the economy.
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
Jeyzuz... that's a new low. Just when you thought they couldn't get any lower Costello and her team said hold my beer π€¦ββοΈ
The absolute mind boggling thing about NZ covid response in 2020-2021 as someone who did the entire first level 4 and then went to Texas is that yβall were roaming around while many people were in *self imposed* lockdowns because their govt abandoned them.
National is currently trying to spam you with the covid enquiry findings-pointing out Auckland was in lockdown too long and Labour spent money on βnon covidβ stuff. This is a distraction. Think of how many more people would have died if they were in charge of it. #nzpol #crational #red26 #lyingluxon
I must admit I'm surprised at how little the Royal Commission gave to vaccine opponents, some of whom saw this process as the thing that would vindicate them. Can't get much clearer than this.
BREAKING: High Court has ruled that Mariameno Kapa-Kingi was unlawfully expelled from Te PΔti MΔori. The Judge has ordered that the party write to the speaker to advise that she is once again an MP for the party.
Or doubled down on public and active transport. Or electrification of the vehicle fleet.
Instead we turned energy independence and resilience (core conservative values?) into another imported culture war
1) Healthcare "woes" are purposefully engineered by corporate-allegiant politicians, so that 2) banks committed to profit can write reports promoting privatisation, so that 3) compliant media outlets can write headlines like this. This is the process by which we lose our public health system.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
The main target - Green MP and former city councillor Tamatha Paul - has hit back: βI put my name and face to everything I say and do because unlike them, Iβm not a coward.β
Indeed, assuming this represents current policy, it is an open admission that the regime change effort has failed, de-nuclearization is likewise impossible or impractical and the only objective that remains is to extricate from a costly failure.
