Not a single right-wing NZ politician has said that the Covid Inquiries will provide useful research for dealing with future pandemics, making their criticisms transparently and exclusively about discrediting the previous government and not about concern for the population. #nzpol

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

I didn’t know wallabies were in the uk too, blasted things are everywhere.

It pains me to know there is security footage of this that will never be broadcast.

it’s hardly the most flatly important loss but one that feels cuttingly indicative. the us isn’t a place for scientists to come together to enjoy the fact that the work very often involves being silly and weird anymore

Graphic with a dark green background featuring bold yellow and white text. At the top is a stylised G logo with a leaf. The text reads: ‘Last week: The Luxon Government considers scrapping the Clean Car Standard. This week: New Zealanders are bracing to pay over $3 per litre for petrol.’

“Graphic with a dark green background and large bold text. The text reads: ‘Luxon’s actions mean that everyday you will be paying more.’ The words ‘you will be paying more’ are in larger yellow type.

The price of petrol is rising. Meanwhile, the Luxon Government has cancelled the Clean Car Discount and is potentially scrapping the Clean Car Standard, two options which would reduce our need for fuel in the long term.

This seems like a win-win.

They’ve set a nice precedent for when there is a leftist govt 😏

Omicron is on par with original SARS2, its delta that was the worse variant so people erroneously said Omicron is mild.
NZ did so well even when we had our first waves because we had such high vaccination rates, it wasn’t hitting a completely virus-naive population like the rest of the world.

Act is saying the previous govt was power-hungry? lol lmao
Act are the ones who have made an entire ministry to run all legislation through so it matches their libertarian stank, have gunned repeatedly to remove Te Tiriti in different ways, etc, etc

National lamenting $60 billion Covid spend while they are on track to borrow $120 billion with no pandemic.

Labour saved 20,000 lives.

National are saving landlords and tobacco

Bizarre seeing the ghouls lambasting the apparently outrageous spending during the early 2020s. Turns out that it is not that easy to balance the books when you crash the economy. Austerity always backfires.

Ok real talk. The entitlement of dog owners is fucken unreal. Constantly asking people to put their dogs on lead on walks. "But Fluffy wouldn't hurt anyone" while fluffy is full on the lead snarling and bearing teeth at my dogs. It is hard to walk our dogs because we can't control other dogs.

Wow!

This

They don’t understand bloody anything. Not the refrigerator truck morgues, not the mass graves, not the resthomes full of corpses.
They sure as hell don’t realise our lockdowns were short af and kids were out of school for very short times.

Accused Kiwi sex offender too ill to stand trial filmed climbing stairs of his waterfront Australian home “I haven’t made any recovery,” Ronald Thompson told reporters who confronted him outside his apartment on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

I don’t give a single fuck if some child rapist may be too elderly or unwell to stand trial for their CRIMES. I care about the VICTIMS OF PEDOPHILES & THEIR RIGHT TO JUSTICE.
What a sick fucking world these disturbed network of men have created for us all. 🤨 #nzpol

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

you ever think about how right wing politicians the world over are always huge fucking racists

From the report: "“It is clear ministers & official were facing a series of complex, high-stakes decisions in a rapidly changing environment & were doing the best they could at the time. Evidence shows NZ had among one of the best pandemic responses in the world.”"

So 2 Covid-19 Royal Commissions now find Labour did an excellent job & led NZ to one of the best outcomes globally. The report also vindicates the economics. If $30 billion was spent on schools, infrastructure etc that's amazing and supportive.
National are borrowing $120 billion w/o a pandemic

You have replied to an antivax account. Block.

The herald has already dumped the covid inquiry story off the front page 👀

Convicted sex offender and former ACT party president whom david seymour tried to protect.

And nothing of value was lost.

1) Healthcare "woes" are purposefully engineered by corporate-allegiant politicians, so that 2) banks committed to profit can write reports promoting privatisation, so that 3) compliant media outlets can write headlines like this. This is the process by which we lose our public health system.
