24,000 votes. I KNOW! It’s far from accurate, but JFC, it gives me a little bit of hope. I like hope 💚.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

This cartoonist wouldn't be the person I am without it. I thank all those who've come before me, who work now, and to future artists.

Nicola Willis slams Labour’s inflation target proposal as ‘insane economic illiteracy”

Imagine paying nearly $700M for no boats and still having the confidence to say this? #nzpol

Pushed his wife’s hand away as he walked towards someone more important. There is a video somewhere.

Even 95 is too optimistic 😆👀😳 #NZPol

PM Christopher Luxon says famine declaration will not speed up Palestinian state decision The Prime Minister has not confirmed whether New Zealand will recognise a Palestinian state.

Spine? Have a good rummage through your pocket's and see if you can find some balls.....👀👀👀 #NZPol

New political poll predicts hung Parliament The Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll also puts Christopher Luxon level with Labour's Chris Hipkins in preferred prime minister ratings.

This closeness is perhaps why the coalition is looking to stop people enrolling to vote during the voting period. Special votes usually break left. At the last election, National ended up with 2 fewer seats than on election night after special votes were counted.

Kia Ora Earthlings!
You know how Luxon kept saying that our inflation was caused by massive gov spending? Well, that's BS. Our Inflation followed global trends, in fact slightly below global average.
NB: We are the yellow line

Three individuals. Three narratives. One coalition. Zero coherence.

Shane Jones has been given $200 million in taxpayer money for a fossil fuel slush fund. But he's used wildly inaccurate gas data to justify it!

“I was recently quoted as saying the Regulatory Standards Bill ‘will stop lawmakers considering broader public health.’ This exchange led Minister Seymour to question my sanity in a public forum. I stand by my statement.” — Dr George Laking. #NZpol

The RSB is bad for your constitution

This needs to be screamed from the rooftops. If Luxon agrees to let this through, I think we should have a nationwide strike - and ask the Governor General to intervene, in the long-term interest of the country.

Well worth watching. We are so lucky to have had the calibre of scientists and their teams working during the first years of Covid. Very worrying that our preparedness for the next one and public health work around infectious diseases is not a priority of the current National led government #nzpol

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

If you actually wanted to protect women you'd be spending zero energy trying to define us and one thousand energy trying to eradicate intimate partner violence. #nzpol

The power couple have spent too much time with positive vibes Americans and skimming self help books IMO.
