If guess if the leader of a wealthy country demands a title from a small Pacific nation that relies economically on the wealthy country - what are they going to do? It’s like stand over tactics.

A decade of deficits! Oh no, how do other countries cope with such a disaster? How did we cope during the first 100 years of NZ Government... when we ran *five* budget surpluses?

H1 2025: China installs more solar than rest of the world combined Solar surged 64% in H1 2025 with 380 GW added worldwide, led by China’s record pace, keeping 2025 on track for new highs.

Can only presume the coalition decided solar / electric was “woke” and nothing was going to stop their manly fossil fuels.

Famously “woke” China isn’t so idiotic - they saw the opportunity, financial sense and a better future.

It’s not too late dumbasses in govt

Three emojis in a row - thing down, HA HA and double exclamation marks.

The Ha ha emoji on my phone feels like a passive aggressive acknowledgement. It really needs an extra ha

Do people use the word “utilising” to hope they sound more clever? “Using” is right there.

Fuel crisis: Potential restrictions as supply concern grows The Government has various options to deploy if the fuel situation in the Middle East continues to worsen.

This useless lying PR vibe spinning govt is caught in a catch 22!!

If they start rationing/WFH like any normal sensible govt would, they risk looking weak to their base which is looking for a good vibes/green shoots.

If they don’t, they will look very irresponsible when we run out of oil.

Day 79: Luxon suggests that people put teddy bears in the back windows of stranded cars - so the kids don’t worry too much about the cars being lonely. And he reminds everyone to be kind - whoops typo - he reminds everyone he doesn’t care.

When you're paying $3 a litre for petrol... Remember Luxon's govt crashed the EV market, slashed public transport & cycleway spending & cut fees for importing gas guzzlers by 80% - turning NZ into a dumping ground for the worlds dirtiest most oil hungry vehicles.

What guarantee is there that the remaining ferry will keep operating? And what happens if there is truly #NoBoats?

Supply chain issues expected as ferry fault takes Interislander down to one vessel The freight industry warns that ageing ferries leave the vital link increasingly fragile.

And here we have it.

Due to Nikki Noboat's gross incompetence, we are down from 3 to 1 ferry.

Had she not cancelled the iRex ferries, we'd have TWO BRAND NEW SHIPS this year.

This incompetence is on her and Luxon.(Date checked.This is a current story.)
