How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol

I’d pay to see that

I’m sure Seymour would argue that if the PM resigns then the deputy PM steps up and who leads the Nats is a seperate issue. Do you trust the Nats to have written a water tight coalition agreement in their desperation for power?

He’s deputy PM.

Parking Lots, Rooftops, & Farms: Mapping Oʻahu’s Solar Potential - CleanTechnica Parking canopy solar alone could generate several terawatt hours annually on Oʻahu. The island’s solar resource is far larger than its demand.

If Luxon does resign does that mean Seymour is PM?

It means someone is going to dig up your footpath. The service locators have been out.

AI is already creeping into election campaigns. NZ’s rules aren’t ready Months out from the next general election, political “AI slop” is spilling over social media feeds. Lessons from overseas could help electoral laws catch up.

#nzpol Heads up and pay attention Aotearoa NZ. There's going to be a deluge of dirty politics and lies thrown at us on social media this year. Please remember to go to party websites to read published policies. Do due diligence and watch out for each other. 💪

Stupid or corrupt?

Thomas Coughlan: After the Government's horror week, things are about to get a whole lot worse OPINION: This weekend is the most precarious for Luxon since he became National leader.

The National Party’s newspaper is gunning for Luxon. But the problem isn’t just Luxon - the Nats policy is incoherent. They want more fossil fuels and lower energy costs. But you can’t have both. They say they take climate seriously and subsidise oil and gas. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

#kikorangi #nzpol The potential for Luxon to be Luxoff next week, there may be an early election? I don't know if that's possible with an election date already announced. Regardless, make sure you're enrolled to vote NOW. The election will probably be in Nov. But it could be in April. vote.nz

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.

There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

Simpleton Brown must be chagrined that nobody is talking about him. Obviously smart but I guess the evil Slitherin vibe he gives off is the problem

AoNZ is 8th on the list with a mean of USD 388,761. Above us are Switzerland, Luxembourg, US, Hong Kong, Iceland, Australia, and Denmark. Below us in the top 10 are Norway and Singapore. Canada is 11th.

Wikipedia, using UBS's Wealth Databook, places AoNZ as the 8th richest country in the world, and yet we need to reduce dialysis programmes for patients. #NZpol

Cutting dialysis just to save a couple of dollars is truly toxic behaviour. But let's ask ourselves the question: where did the money that used to be available to keep people alive actually go?

A short thread.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

As National hits 28% in new poll, is Christopher Luxon’s leadership at risk?  Will the prime minister be rolled, will he decide to bow out, or will National's memories of the 2020 election stop any change at all?...

New Zealanders support more taxes on ultra-rich, new poll shows Half of New Zealanders also agreed that billionaires shouldn't exist while people still struggled with basic necessities like housing, food and healthcare.

There you go center-left parties .. BE BOLD.

And why the craven Lux-flakes and the #thenastyparty are on the nose.

MEDIA RELEASE: Well-off New Zealanders Would Pay More Tax in Other Countries: New Research New research shows that high earners in NZ are lightly taxed compared with those from other developed countries.

“Tax Justice Aotearoa welcomes the findings of new research by Victoria University’s Max Rashbrooke, which demonstrates that high earners in New Zealand are lightly taxed compared with those from other developed countries.” #nzpol www.tjanz.org/news-tax-res...

So we get fucked waterways and heaps of methane emissions and WE DON'T EVEN GET OUR OWN BUTTER IN RETURN.
