Luxon's critical minerals deal with the USA??

Perdón si nuestras palabras son extremadamente polarizantes, quizá nos ha radicalizado la decencia más básica, pero creemos que la guerra está mal.

NO A LA GUERRA.

Was running a SECOND inquiry maybe just a politically driven waste of time and money?

"Overall, this report concludes that Aotearoa New Zealand did well in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic. On the whole, the decisions taken and methods used during the Covid-19 response were considered and appropriate."

Under Jacinda Arden’s leadership the Labour Government’s Covid response was one of the best in the world in the circumstances, and likely saved over 20,000 lives.

The second Covid inquiry concludes:

Interesting to think that Donald Trump may have, completely inadvertently and at a horrific cost, finally woken up the world to how urgent it is we get off our dangerous addiction to fossil fuels.

Cartoon depicts National Party Prime Minister of New Zealand's 3 party coalition dressed as a clown wearing long shoes as he is tripping over the skull of smokers ( refers to plans to cancel the smokefree target and repeal legislation). Luxon's head has struck a bee's nest labelled 'Tiriti O Waitangi' from which angry bees fly to sting him on the ass. His top hat falls off labelled '7 Houses'. He is about to fall face first into budget custard while crying profuse clown tears "Why can't I get a break?" he whimpers plaintively.

The best way to stop wars, achieve World Peace and avert the climate crisis is to END the oil industry.

Bicycles require no fuel. They are the most efficient form of transport ever invented.

Bicycles can save the world.

The way to achieve world peace is to end our dependence on oil.

With the added benefit that if we do it quickly enough, we might be able to avert the climate crisis in time to enjoy the peace.

CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen says black, oil-contaminated rain is falling over Tehran after strikes on oil facilities by U.S./Israeli airstrikes.

It's mindblowing to me that we have a Prime Minister whose excuse for his own incompetence is that he's "not a career politician".

He's basically saying that he's not good at his job – AS PRIME MINISTER – because he lacks experience.

There are cheaper and faster solutions, that’s for sure.

As well as the unconscionable loss of life, the illegal attack on #Iran by Trump and Netanyahu has devastating consequences for the environment, with global consequences in the #ClimateCrisis.

Yes absolutely! Better to switch to a bike and a bus pass, but an EV is a better option than petrol or diesel —- better for the planet and your wallet.

I bet everyone who managed to install Solar Panels is pretty happy with that choice right now.

Tracking the giant residents of the south Taranaki Bight A blue whale research project in the South Taranaki Bight has highlighted the area’s importance to them, and helped with developing an app that tracks their movements.

“Our evidence has clearly shown there are New Zealand Aotearoa blue whales, and the South Taranaki Bight is crucial to them for feeding, breeding and raising their calves."

Israel kills father, daughter in Gaza as genocide continues amid wider war Suffering in Gaza and occupied West Bank remains acute as the world focuses on the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Israel kills father, daughter in Gaza as genocide continues amid wider war waged by Israel and the US

One of the many horrific things about the attack on Iran by Netanyahu and Trump is that the genocide that Netanyahu is inflicting on Gaza continues unabated in its shadow.

Just remembering how Luxon bought a new Tesla EV when there was a Clean Car Discount, then cancelled the policy so others couldn't do it, and is now canning the Clean Car Standards and adding a new tax to petrol.

What a guy.

Yeah there could be that too

The one silver lining in the upcoming oil price spike is that we might get a break from all the ute-bros roaring around town in their ridiculous Ford Rangers.
