@theplatform_nz Did Hipkins get the jab himself knowing the risks ?

Michael Laws breaks down Chris Hipkins’ great lie about the missing COVID advice, and why he should resign. youtu.be/R7g9y_A5wsg

@ClintVSmith Do you struggle with reading comprehension ?

it's weird to see the Nats desperately cuddling up to anti vax weirdos. do they think parents are going to be mad at Hipkins for getting vaxs for our kids? I wish my kids could get boosters to help protect them from catching COVID at school.

@scott_mcfaul @JosephMooneyMP We could cancel the Paris agreement. Being self sufficient in fuel balances the books.

@JosephMooneyMP It cannot be burnt, the coal must stay in the ground. It would run counter to our commitments under the Paris Agreement and our goal to move to net zero by 2050. NZ needs to focus on solar, wind, hydro and other sources of clean energy to electrify and decarbonise the economy.

As New Zealand turns its mind to energy, and offshore petroleum prospecting permits are being considered, it’s worth noting that Southland and Otago sit on millions of years of solar investment, with more than 9 billion tonnes of lignite in 10 major deposits - containing more than 20 times the energy content of the Maui gas field. This is a very large, nationally significant resource which has the potential to be used as a feedstock for a petrochemical industry, using gasification technology to convert lignite to fertiliser, transport fuels or other high value energy products. If extracted at a rate of 20 million tonnes per year, the lignite resource could provide energy and feedstock for most of New Zealand’s transport fuel and petrochemical requirements for over 300 years. It largely sits close to the surface and is easy to access with opencast mining. It accounts for about 80% of New Zealand’s total coal resource and means New Zealand has one of the biggest coal reserves on earth, sitting around 14th in the world with more coal deposits than countries like Canada and Brazil. There were plans in the past to build plants using the Fischer-Tropsch process to turn some of the lignite into low-sulphur diesel and naphtha (used in the production of plastics, solvents and as a component of fuels like petrol and jet fuels). In South Africa, Sasol has been producing diesel, petrol and jet fuel from coal since the 1950s, supplying approximately 28% of South Africa’s fuel needs, saving that country more than US$5 billion a year in foreign exchange. There have also previously been plans to make up to 1.2 million tonnes of urea from 2 million tonnes of Southland lignite, which would be twice New Zealand’s current urea use. Most of our urea currently comes from Saudi Arabia, but this could make us a urea exporter. Southland’s lignite is low sulphur, low ash, and 1.5 to 2 times as reactive as Australian or German brown coals. This makes it one of the best lignites globally for making syngas. Syngas is an important universal industrial feedstock. It can be used to produce diesel and petrol via the Fischer-Tropsch process (which can run in existing engines and pipelines without modification), urea fertiliser via the Haber-Bosch process, methanol, hydrogen, or electricity via a combined cycle gas turbine. There would be carbon and environmental trade offs to utilise this resource which would not be easy, but it’s hard to overstate just how significant the potential energy resource is.

@rosey_nz @chrishipkins Ask his ex wife

If @chrishipkins lied about something as important as this, what else has he lied about??? nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/ch…

@quinnjin2009 It was a disaster. Typical labour run sh*tshow.

I just cant believe we are still rehashing all of this COVID BS. Its a dirty pol witch hunt 100%, perpetrated by a desperate failing Govt, in my view. Was NZ's handling perfect? no. Did anyone else do better? 100% nope. Nobody did better than we did. End of debate. Move on. #nzpol

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science... The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

@Peter_Fitz How’s your TDS working out ?

Came to the country as refugees but yet it was safe enough to travel back to Iraq for holiday. They are taking the piss over being a refugee. nzherald.co.nz/nz/disputes-tr…

@threeboysbrew Lots of oil Lots of coal Lots of natural gas

#NZ #EnergyMarkets 1. Not much oil 2. Long way from oil 3. Lots of wind 4. Lots of sun 5. Lots of water 6. Lost of geothermal Anybody got any ideas... our governments are stumped !

@kiwiwayne2 etsy.com/nz/market/car_…

Just one of those faces you just want to slap! 👋👋👋

@MarkHubbard33 Gold

Finally something good out of Ireland!

@ronmortgageguy New Zealand does produce oil and gas. The oil is nowhere near the now closed refinery.

New Zealand Produces No Oil At All & They Closed Their Last Gasoline Refinery In 2022 They import 100% of Gasoline almost all from China who SHUT Gasoline exports 3 weeks ago New Zealand is sorta Fucked right now Eventually it will get sorted But today it's a crisis 2/

@OpinionistNZ After the next poll

I'm picking this guy will be goneburger within two weeks. He is unfit to be a PM. That makes him unsuitable to be Labour leader. Bet the discussions are going on right now. Hipkins and Ardern. Forced vaccines on NZ. Then hid behind lawyers when asked to appear in the Inquiry.

@PatriotElsie @ForPittsSake This lack of justice invites vigilantes to act.

🚨🇬🇧The leader of the Rotherham grooming gang, Banaras Hussain, has been released. Hussain raped 15 11-year-old girls for 10 years. He ripped out the nails of girls who tried to escape. The court found a total of 55 crimes. Hussain, who served a 9-year sentence, is now walking the streets of the UK.

Imagine avoiding pork your entire life and then getting smited by a warthog. 😀😂

@TonyStuart55 @gaye_ess Hell-un Clark. Watch out for her name in future polls

Who will be the next Leader of the Opposition when Chris Hipkins does the right thing?

"SHARING. MEDICAL. ADVICE. AROUND. VACCINATIONS. WAS. NOT. HIS. AREA." 🤯 nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/th…

Nothing more to be said. Hipkins has to go.

@aniobrien Would the papers omission be a breach of discovery ?

It's a shame this is paywalled. It details that the Herald has "unearthed a Cabinet paper, in Hipkins’ name, from March 2022 that includes the advice". For some reason the paper never made it to the Covid Inquiry.
