*that we won't even own 😑

Hmmm... something the current 'government' of AoNZ, should also ponder.

Can the LNG Terminal. It's an absolutely bloody ridiculous option. That we won't even own!

Unless, of course, you're doing it so you can help your sorted mates continue the rorting of AoNZers. 🤔

“Wait, we’re afraid of walkable distances now?”*

*best response ever to the manufactured conspiracy theories about “15-Minute Cities” and the simple idea of having more things we need nearby. #UrbanTruth

I see so many people commenting about renationalising assets that should not have been sold, or setting up a new MOW instead of public private partnerships, or reminiscing about the old days when Labour was for the working people. Those policies ARE being offered again now. Vote Green. 💚

Screenshot which shows the following: Key areas of alignment with historic policies include: * Social Policy & Housing: The Green Party's proposals for income guarantees and massive public housing projects echo the welfare state expansion and state housing initiatives of the 1930s-40s Labour governments. * Environmental Action & Energy: While the Greens advocate for stronger, faster Action, their focus on climate change connects with the first mentions of atmospheric warming in Parliament by Labour in 1979. Policies like phasing out coal boilers align with long-term Environmental goals, though the Greens aim for faster implementation. * Economic Strategy: Similar to earlier, more interventionist governments, the Greens propose increased government involvement in the economy to manage resources, reduce inequality, and, interestingly, to support a shift towards sustainable industries and regenerative agriculture.

It goes on to show the parallels with various previous government policies:

A screenshot of the google answer to the question "are the NZ Greens policies similar to any historic NZ government policies?" The answer: Yes, Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand policies often echo historical social-democratic, conservationist, and anti-nuclear policies from NZ's past, particularly aligning with mid-20th century social welfare, the 1970s environmental movement, and the 1980s nuclear-free stance. Their focus on economic redistribution, social justice, and state-led initiatives parallels past Labour government's approaches.

It's interesting to me that people get all panicky about the Greens being 'radical leftists', so I asked Google the following question:

Chris Luxon, Shane Jones, Nicola Willis, David Seymour all want to make NZ dependent on volatile LNG imports instead of renewables. Paid for by a tax on electricity. They are crackers.

PETITION: CONDEMN TRUMP'S ILLEGAL WAR Sign the petition to pressure Luxon to stand up against this reckless war

Sign the petition to tell the NZ Govt to condemn the US/Israel attack as a breach of international law, as it obviously is. International law and the UN Charter are far from perfect but they are better than global military dictatorship that Trump wants. action.greenpeace.org.nz/petition/pea...

Oil & Gas are about to get a lot more expensive.

That will increase the price of just about everything else that has to be transported.

It will be a painful reminder of how badly we need to get free of fossil fuel dependency and embrace renewable energy.

Ummm ditto for Aotearoa New Zealand

For everyone feeling depressed at the state of the world today.

There is hope. Never give up 💚☮️🇵🇸✊

The only reason we were able to was relocating from Welly to Chch and downsizing our house. It cost us $26k, but we've realistically saved $5k that first year alone.

Giving govt subsidies to increase solar capacity is a no brainer... unless, of course, the govt of the day answers to donors, not NZ

🎯

Was really happy to support local. Should've checked more recently. 😡 No more cordial, relishes, jams in this household.

The owners follow the (far more stringent) rules in France, but shit on OUR environment?

Get fucked. #BoycottBarkers

Imagine if the media (first) & the public heard about Green policies to the same extent that all of the racially divisive neoliberal nappy wearing faux christian cry babies, these archaic conversations we have now just wouldn't exist.

Just fucking vote Green for fucks sake

Save the planet & people

Totally agree. We've had our solar and battery here for almost 2 years. In the first year alone our total energy costs, including charging our EV, was $952.00.
Our aircon was on for that entire time too.

Personally, I'd replace the word 'country' with 'world'.

Otherwise? 🎯

This election year remember the political science concept “the conservative dilemma”

A party that represents the interests of the wealthy and powerful cannot win a democratic election on economic issues, so they create culture wars

This coalition is brought to you by oil and gas- of course solar was never on the agenda. Der…..donors.
Do you think they work for voters? Silly puppy.

A screenshot of a post from Adam Pugh which says: You know, if I wasn't already going to vote Green, there would be nothing that would encourage me to vote Green more than the fact the right wing racist idiots are so utterly enraged by them. Upset a racist. Vote Green

Hmmmm, that's a catchy little turn of phrase. I like it. 😸

Upset A Racist. Vote Green 💚

This post is for all of you in every time zone all around the world.

I keep hearing that Bluesky is still mostly North American. But I think there’s lots of you around the world that love cities, and want them to be better.

We want @urbantruth.bsky.social to be global.

I hope you’ll check us out.

Tēnā koutou katoa (hello everyone 😊) from Aotearoa New Zealand 👋🏻🇳🇿

I've said it before but I'll say it again- we don't talk enough about how one of the common threads between all of these horrific people is that they actively want poor and non-white people to die and they're doing everything they can to make that happen.

Bring on the wāhine toa!

JFC, him and Luxon fighting to gargle the tangerine turd's bollocks. 🤢🤬

They might want to rule us, but they were elected to SERVE us. They obviously need reminding of that fact. Get them gone.

Election 2026: National’s Nicola Willis says New Zealanders are ‘impatient’ for expecting quick cost-of-living turnaround

Have you noticed that Nicola Willis is always blaming us because she can't do her job? #NZPol

A graphic with a dark green background displays the text: “Power company profits in 6 months: $1.85 billion” in large yellow lettering. Below, on a white torn‑paper texture, green text reads: “How’s your power bill going?” Small fine print at the bottom notes authorisation by Green MP Scott Willis

Meridian, Contact, Mercury and Genesis Energy are reporting record profits. Meanwhile, are your power bills any lower?

Vote Green AoNZ. Their fully costed policies (the only ones available from any political party, btw)WILL work. >80% of kiwis will pay LESS tax,& those who have more than enough will pay a bit more.
Like seriously, if you earn $250k a year, you'll pay $149/week more on tax. Chump change.
