Cartoon. Five frames. Title “Taxonomy” First frame a duck is reading a newspaper headline “Levy to Fund Dirty LNG Energy” The duck says, “Tax? Quack” 2nd frame the duck is walking and says, “Tax! Quack”, as it does in the 3rd and fourth frame. In the last frame the duck is on PM Christopher Luxon’s head, saying, “Tax! Quack” and has done a poo. And Christopher Luxon says, “This … is not a duck”
Quick, dirty and expensive. The govt is going to build a $1 billion liquid natural gas (LNG) import terminal, instead of investing in clean energy. And as for the levy…if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

NZ has normalised inequality. As the cost of living rises, Govt has to expand into every corner of life so people don't starve and end up homeless.
We need to reduce inequality and rampant rentierism so that people and communities have the resources they need to look after themselves.

What the PM said at Waitangi was wrong | E-Tangata
“When the prime minister spoke at Waitangi he set out a terribly distorted view of the country’s founding document.” — Carwyn Jones.
“At Waitangi this year, the prime minister structured his speech around the three articles of Te Tiriti, and explained what each article says and means.
The problem is that he was just plain wrong, writes legal scholar Carwyn Jones.” #NZpol e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...

And I see David Seymour is going to provide a state of the nation address from Christchurch tomorrow, entitled ‘Telling it like it is’. I wonder if that means he’s going to tell everyone not to drink the water if they want to avoid talking to god on the porcelain telephone
