@chrisluxonmp *open for pillaging

New Zealand is open for business, and I want the world to know it. We are using every tool available to kick our economy into high gear. This means more jobs, higher incomes, more opportunities for Kiwi businesses to get ahead, and better public services for you and your family.

@chrisluxonmp what about these welfare dependents?

To tackle welfare dependency head on, we are driving a comprehensive package of welfare reforms, which will ensure those on benefits who can work receive the support they need.     We know that tough economic times can mean Kiwis need to fall back on welfare as a safety net. This is as it should be. But we must ensure it’s not just a safety net but a springboard, helping them build brighter futures through opportunity and independence.     To achieve this, the we’ve introduced the following support:   1. MSD is now offering phone-based case management to 10,000 people, increasing the total number of people with employment case managers at any given time to 70,000.   2. Everyone supported by an employment case manager will be eligible to receive a comprehensive work-readiness needs assessment examining any education, transport, addiction, health, and childcare issues they may have.   3. Case managers will work with these job seekers to construct a personalised plan of agreed actions to address these issues. Job seekers will be supported by work-readiness, literacy and numeracy, driver training, mental health, counselling, and addiction services as required.

@chrisluxonmp how's net zero coming along

It’s midnight. Gang members are now officially banned from wearing their patches in public.

@RickFelten @Graeber_social 🙈

@EnginesOffNZ @Graeber_social No such thing.

In 1949, Albert Einstein wrote WHY SOCIALISM. Here is an extract.

@RickFelten @Graeber_social first consider US imperialism in both those countries

@Graeber_social Now do Cuba & Venezuela.

Deeper darkness means brighter fires 🔥

@EnginesOffNZ Hey Richard Cranium, try that in Mangere. Little lefty tosspot. Get to a productive job & stop wasting peoples time

I was arrested for blocking traffic this morning. I was warned to move and could have driven away without penalty. You can do that too. enginesoff.org.nz #nzpol

Public transport, cycle ways and walkable urban centers should be prioritised over building more roads. It isn't feasible for all of NZ to drive electric cars. Net zero in our transport sector can only come from a combination of electrification and un-car-ification.

The clean car discount rightly accounted for the true cost of driving a petrol vehicle. It should be returned, taxing oversized personal vehicles (SUVs) specifically.

The police officer arresting me said he would be more worried about climate change if he had time to think about it. We'd all be protesting like this if we gave it the thought it deserves. #nzpol nzherald.co.nz/nz/climate-act…

My heart breaks for our pacific island neighbours. Their lives are being upended by climate change right now. We can, should, and *will* do more, New Zealand.
