For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

Cartoon depicts minister Chris Bishop beside a bridge talking to homeless people. 
Bishop: β€œI’ve redirected Kainga Ora funding to this bridge in my electorate - also our solution to the housing crisis.”

Cartoon depicts minister Chris Bishop driving a digger, crushing a sign saying 'Regional Councils' and chasing after regional council staff.
Bishop: "This is not a power grab!"
'Plan to shake up local govt. - news'

Cartoon depicts two male farm workers inside a vehicle. A cloud of green coloured gas is emits from a driver's backside with a "PRRRRP!" sound effect. The passenger is exiting the vehicle at speed holding his nose & gasping for fresh air.

Headline: 'METHANE TARGET LOWERED - NEWS'
Driver: "SORRY, BUT IT'S ONLY SHORT-LIVED."
Passenger: "AT THIS RATE SO AM I."

Refers to a lowering of New Zealand’s emissions targets by government including a reset of the methane targets to 14-24% below 2017 levels by 2050, promising there would be no tax on methane emissions.

Christopher Luxon calls vote counters the 'slowest folk on the planet' The prime minister says he expects the Electoral Commission to speed up the official vote count after an election.

Lol. The worst bloke at his job in NZ has the cheek to criticise the ethical meticulous work of people ensuring our votes are accurately counted that he probably underfunds. Do it fast and rubbish says Luxon, thats how we pass laws. #nzpol

PM still on a spin tour #nzpol this cartoon was originally published by Farmers Weekly in July 2024. Luxon is still hoping farmers will pull the economy out of the ditch for him.
