The villagers affected have said their fishing stocks have been decimated so they've lost their livelihood. Our defence minister said, "It's not as if the oil reached the beaches" & our PM visited the country but wouldn't go to the village to apologise. The thrills of our most right wing govt EVER.

Agree. Violence is not the answer, especially towards MPs families and pets who didn't ask for this life.

A horticulturalist from Hawkes Bay was on RNZ this morning saying that they don't need the young workers. Luxon needs to talk to actual people, not just the voices in his head.

this country is so funny: a series of welfare subsidies that end up in the hands of landlords and private childcare providers; a chronically unaffordable housing market; a publicly-owned electricity generation and retail racket; oligopolies in supermarket and telecommunication sectors lol

Just thinking of all the people Peter's has demonised who have had to endure hate and death threats against themselves and their families. He's a hypocrite.

Also, don't waste your spit people.

It is completely unconscionable to require job losses for the economy to function (supposedly) and then to blame them for their own unemployment that they DID NOT CHOOSE.

It's not the needy who are a problem in this world, it's the greedy.

It's not the needy who are a problem in this world, it's the greedy.

Young people aren’t owed a living but landlords are owed accommodation supplement & subsidies, & employers are owed WfF so they don’t have to pay workers a decent wage & shareholders are owed $$ even if it means 120,000 households can’t afford electricity. #nzpol

Some quotes from New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon:

β€’ β€œThe world doesn’t owe you a living”
β€’ β€œI'm wealthy, I'm β€’ you know β€’ sorted.”
β€’ β€œjust make a marmite sandwich”
β€’ β€œI don’t care.” (said multiple times since becoming PM)

Guy is a stone cold psycho.

No protests outside homes – Protect Protest Aotearoa

🚨A new under-reported NZ Bill: Summary Offences Amendment Bill closes 2pm Mon 6 Oct.
The Bill risks criminalising legitimate protest, is vague, unnecessary, gives wide Police discretion, allows arrest without warning, & could chill free expression.

In both Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, "loyal citizens" were permitted to own firearms, while citizens who were opponents were denied.

It's coming.

Buy guns now while it's still legal!

How Russia is Helping China Prepare to Seize Taiwan Russia has agreed to equip and train the PLA to air-drop armoured vehicles and special reconnaissance capabilities.

Russia is training Chinese troops in High Altitude, High Opening (HAHO) jumps for the purposes of invading Taiwan. Due to the altitude of the jump, they can jump from over Chinese or international waters and drift under canopy to land in Taiwan.

β€œThey dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinΓ‡elik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.

Cartoon. Title: β€œSide Board” Image shows PM Christopher Luxon at night, in his lounge. He’s being furtive, putting the Energy Report away in a sideboard draw. His wife Amanda has interrupted him, saying, β€œWhat are you doing, Christopher?” He answers, β€œNothing”

The govt says it has a plan to combat high power prices, but their plan could do the opposite, report warns. They have rejected most of the energy report’s recommendations.

Mr Luxon, are you unaware of the state of the jobs market? I feel like surely not because there is so much you & your government have done to affect it, even bringing it too it's knees! You complete and utter phonebook #NZPol
