Here’s how it works. A private company approaches @NZNationalParty saying they’d like to do Onslow. They pay for the Nats election costs. The Nats get into power, slag off labour about Onslow and cancel the project. They then hand it to the private company

@TheDetailNZ Yes, I note a few posts below saying it would be hard to police. It would be very easy to police and on a number of fronts. Accountability is a dirty word it would appear in NZ where you've had me too and now its me first.

Should there really have to be a law stopping politicians from lying in their election ads? rnz.co.nz/news/thedetail…

@bighairynetwork Keep up the good work, your obviously rattling a few cages Pat and Chewie

#BHN Kieran McAnulty eviscerates Paul Goldsmith, thoughts and prayers are with Goldsmith's friends and family for the loss of his ego #nzpol #nzpolitics

@un_wellington @bighairynetwork Well based on your arguments sounds like your describing yourself. A bit of projection methinks

@bighairynetwork Not the first crime McAnulty has committed eh? Slimey guy, makes liar and cheater Hipkins look like a saint

@un_wellington @bighairynetwork Again a real Low IQ Question . It was well publicised in the news at the time and by Nikki. Some echo chamber your working in there. Put an official information request in, real simple.

@bighairynetwork What tax cuts were given to landlords? Can anyone tell me?

@un_wellington @bighairynetwork Do those beneficiaries eat?. It effects the price of the food they buy, and the farmers who produce it are saying it will effecf them so whose right. They still have to pay utility costs that will be effected. Your argument is a low IQ response Un_Wellington.

@bighairynetwork Beneficiaries and retirees aren’t impacted by fuel prices like people that actually have to go to work. It’s a low IQ response to say they are the ones suffering most from fuel prices.

Belgium’s MEP Marc Botenga exposes Europe’s hypocrisy: “You sanction Russia, which attacks Ukraine — but you support the United States when it bombs Iran. You condemn Russia, which occupies Ukraine — but you support Israel occupying Palestine and Lebanon. We blame our opponents for what we allow our allies to do — cheerfully — while smiling at Tel Aviv and Washington. The double standard of this Europe is not only a shame — it creates a world of chaos and wars, a world in which we do not want to live, and in which we do not want our children to grow up. Today, this Europe is not a force for good, but an accomplice to crime. That’s enough.”

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms. You have to listen to this.

What 15 second warning siren did Gazan children get? The ones picked up in pieces and carried to their graves in plastic shopping bags? Or those burned to death in while sleeping in refugee tents? @dannydanon wants Israeli kids protected, while participating in genocide.

“Trump's 'Board of Peace' is nothing but a Board of Thieves” Retweet if you agree with Corbyn

BREAKING: Bruce Springsteen just announced that his band will be doing a tour in effort to fight back against Donald Trump's authoritarian overreach. The Boss is back!

Cautionary tale- What happens when you tell too many porkies?

BREAKING : Massive victory for Spanish 🇪🇸 PM Pedro Sánchez due to his spine Algeria 🇩🇿 has decided to give gases to Spain 12% cheaper due to his firm stand against Israel and US in Iran war 🔥🔥 He's standing on the right of history and also getting free passage through Strait of Hormuz along with cheap energy 🫡 That's what courage does

ONENEWS Verian Poll out soon but I’ll tell you that National will lead not because they’re the most popular party but because ever since the election they have led every Verian poll. Labour led other polls at some stage but never the Verian Poll. Strange ain’t it.

@crazy_lekiwi Where does the crude they processed come from? So no change, no oil no processing, and as the main point in my post go back to the original company docs as to the reason behind their decision.

@MGTRASK Company needed to spend large capex to continue running it. They couldn’t justify given Labour govt environmental positioning and anti oil stance. Megan Woods took paper to cabinet saying let it shutdown or 10yr underwrite to give them certainty. Govt chose shutdown.

Is anybody getting fed up with Marsden point being used as a political beating stick. The shareholder brief produced at the time shoots this into dust. Is nobody capable of going to the source for facts rather than listening to political idiots recycling bullshit.

This equally applies here, money not votes informs the decision making here.
