The typeface choices, the wording, the badly photoshopped toilets with politicians headshots, the graphics with various fonts sizings, they all scream that it's not a serious site. If that's not true and I'm mistaken, then I apologise. That's just the way it comes across to me and I'm sure others

That's not TLDR, but I didn't click on it because it looks like a conspiracy site. You can word things in a more engaging way for the layman without coming across as a nutjob...

Hey man, just to let you know the way you word these comments makes you come across as a conspiracy nutjob, not a serious person who's genuinely concerned. Particularly looking back through your history a bit, fake warrants for arrest are a massive indicator...

Everywhere it’s the same story.

Wind power is lowering the electricity prices, whereas gas power is increasing them.

Here in New Zealand, expensive fossil gas generation keeps our electricity prices unnecessarily high.

Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to withdraw the Regulatory
Standards Bill from the legislative programme.
Petition reason
I am petitioning the House because nearly every submission on the Regulatory Standards Bill opposed it, yet the Government plans to pass it anyway. I believe this shows disregard for public participation and democratic integrity. I think the Government is ignoring the 98.7 percent of submitters who oppose the bill and cannot be trusted to listen. I feel that Parliament must act to restore public trust by urging the Government to withdraw this Bill.

Call the bastards out on their corruption, call them out on their lies, call them out on their greed.

Being complicit in the bullshit isn't helping your longevity as a company, it's just reducing the trust in you that the public had to almost non-existant levels

Strikers' demands 'a mystery', government's top negotiator says The Public Service Commissioner says it's regrettable major strike action is going ahead, because he's always been available to negotiate.

I don't know whether Public Service Commissioner Brian Roche is thick as a bucket of pig shite or just lying, but it's a distinction without a practical difference right now. And not how you engage in good faith bargaining. #nzpol

Chris Hipkins caught off guard by Labour's health announcement Labour's leader has admitted he "forgot" his health spokesperson was set to release policy today.

Imagine if you ran this story every time Luxon was "unaware" of something.

Judith Collins calling open fascist Kristi Noem a friend and posing for photo ops with her would have her hounded out of politics in any reasonable democracy - and a functioning, non-propagandistic media would lead that charge

Unfortunately we have neither of those things in NZ

First offshore oil and gas permit sought after repeal of ban An unknown Australian firm that wants to 'create lasting value for NZ' is behind the first offshore oil and gas permit application since the 2018 ban was repealed

Scoop: The first application for an offshore oil and gas exploration permit since the repeal of the ban on offshore drilling in August has been lodged, by an Australian firm that was set up less than two months ago and that doesn't have a functioning email address.

Maybe the government should stop buggering things up to the point that making submissions is the only way they'll listen. Oh wait, they ignore the submissions and do what they want anyway, the anti-democratic assholes

Had a few RW bullshit 'what if its not sunny' comments and talking about brownouts

We've had those with fossil fuels

We get 75% of our energy from massive hydro and geo

Grid storage exists

We massively under utilize solar

Any more renewable saves water from hydro for dry years

Genetic engineering/modification can be a very useful tool for increasing productivity, reducing disease and parasite susceptibility, increasing tolerance of climate variability, and other things I can't be bothered thinking of 7 minutes after my alarm has gone off.
It needs regulating, not banning.
