Growing a veggie garden in New Zealand. Going monk mode on X until I've built something, also sometimes talking NZ politics with people.

@TaxpayersUnion It’s crazy to me the salaries politicians earn with perks to. They are completely out of touch with the average person in society. $150k/year limit salary. Remove day to day perks. If they think that’s unfair, how do they expect people to live off $70k a year.

The real debate isn’t Left vs Right, it’s whether or not the government should have limits.

It was more to show you a snippet. I studied this in uni for a semester, and then been reading up lately about parts I didn’t know about. Did you study the māori text? Or do you believe only English is right? Clearly there is a difference in the languages. And really think about it, why would they cede when they were asking Britain to sort the white people who were causing problems in the islands? “Hey, your people are causing problems, can you take control of us for me?” Makes absolute zilch sense. It clearly states Britain was to govern her subjects, the ones that Māori were fed up of.

This is part of the Hobson’s Pledge submission to the Environment Committee on the Planning and Natural Environment Bills. Don Brash explains why the proposed Bills fall short of the coalition’s promises and why we must move toward a system that treats every NZer as an equal.

“Before 1840: In 1835, 52 Māori chiefs signed He Whakaputanga (Declaration of Independence), asserting sovereign power resided with them as United Tribes; no foreign laws allowed. Britain formally acknowledged it in 1836.” This alone shows that they had an intention to continue sovereignty. Again, I’m not saying go back to old division. But, you’re ignoring facts, intention and language.

@SteeTweets @HobsonsPledgeNZ Clearly it is you who needs to brush up on your history. Maori ceded sovereignty and the fact that that is even questioned is bizarre. It was settled in 1840 and ever since. You really need to go do your research into these matters. Not a partnership, never was, never will be.

@grok @sassenews @HobsonsPledgeNZ After situation doesn’t explain anything of particular. Be more specific about the events which show practiced sovereignty after treaty.

Here are key events: Before 1840: In 1835, 52 Māori chiefs signed He Whakaputanga (Declaration of Independence), asserting sovereign power resided with them as United Tribes; no foreign laws allowed. Britain formally acknowledged it in 1836. After: Most signed te reo Māori text granting 'kawanatanga' (governance) but guaranteeing 'tino rangatiratanga' (full chieftainship). Waitangi Tribunal found signatories did not cede sovereignty—Britain didn't clearly explain intent. Hone Heke's 1844-45 flagstaff protests resisted British authority, sparking Northern War. Interpretations differ.

You need to brush up on your history. They never ceded. The maori version of the treaty was signed by hundreds of maoris. The english version? 30. And before and after the treaty chiefs declared about their sovereignty. But, we are here now and must learn how to move forward together.

@HobsonsPledgeNZ Great work. Thank you. Given Maori ceded sovereignty & the treaty is not, was not & never will be a partnership, the fraud & indoctrination needs to be halted and readdressed. If not, NZ will become a south africa 2.0. Push back to reality for all NZers & equality is imperative.

@TahiBlue @black13830 You should watch mike okay’s travel through that part of China on youtube. I also lived in China. Tbh, whatever China did back then (which a lot was lied about in the west) it has worked out for the better in that part of the country.

@PBJBTC @chrisluxonmp Glad you see the nuance of it. Shows you’re more competent than many. I rekon if it nears $4 the gov will do something. Sucks, hard times.

@SteeTweets @chrisluxonmp I get your point. It’s valid. In short I think they should just use it to stabilise current prices. It’s a level for the to stay at $3 but not $4

If you’re feeling concerned about petrol prices, you’re not alone. We know it’s tough, and the last thing any household needs right now is more pressure on the budget. While these pressures are global, New Zealand is in a stronger position to handle the impact of conflict in the Middle East than we were two years ago, because of the steps we have taken to rebuild the economy. We will continue to manage the economy responsibly and support Kiwis through this unpredictable time, delivering the steady economic management needed to minimise the impact on households.

Really unfortunate that he seems determined to politicise the handling of a potentially v severe crisis with arguable (largely untenable) claims about being better positioned than just 2yrs ago). Handle this well & perhaps it will redound to your political credit.

Find? Buddy… ..it is NZ’s current problems stem from local brands getting sold into international brands, which eventually become too expensive along the international supply chain that they close up. The most recent was Watties, bought out by Heinz, closed their frozen veggy factories. That means in NZ Heinz frozen veggies will be likely grown and packed elsewhere in the world. A country that feeds a 3rd of the world can’t keep factories running coz it’s internationally owned. You could say the best option is a local brand growing, but our current most local brand, pams, sourcing most of it’s canned foods from italy, china, thailand, etc. So yea. NZ is not in a good place.

13th project approved through Fast Track and it’s very cool! NZ does not currently re-use steel – most of our scrap metal is exported. This new plant will mean we can recycle and manufacture structural steel right here in New Zealand, using material sourced from across NZ.

Subsidy means the government pays the business so it becomes more affordable. Price control means the company can’t charge more than the affordable rate. In other words: •subsidy falls on the debt of the people, paying it off in the future. •price control falls on the businesses bottom line.

If iwi want co-governance and want to be seen as an equal part of govt, then they need to be transparent like govt. They need to declare all assets, open their books and be subject to the OIA. They don’t get to govern and then make secret deals with various groups on the side.

NZ govt is using part of its $70m Major Events & Tourism Package ($40m for big international events) to bring Robbie Williams' BRITPOP tour here Nov 2026. Two shows: Eden Park Auckland 24 Nov, Christchurch stadium 28 Nov. Exact subsidy $ undisclosed. Govt says without it NZ gets skipped; claims economic boost via tourism/hotels/jobs (est $3.20 return per $1 spent on events). Some promoters call it corporate welfare.

That would quite literally make it all worse Because the government’s already influencing the price with tax, if it influences right now it becomes a supply issue and we’ll all run out coz sudden cheap gas people will likely panic fill. Outside of a crisis, I’m for government reducing oil tax. It’s weird. But it’s economics.

Why not make public transport free, even just as a temporary measure? Loads of talk about making petrol cheaper, but not much talk about encouraging the use of the public transport.
