@saltyreigns Ironically the sign advertising for maori speaking staff is in English

😂

@kiwiwayne3 He just talking nonsense. How is a labour govt going to generate well paid jobs? You need business for that and they treat those with contempt

Notice there is never a… “this is how we will do it” Simply points out the obvious and says we deserve better! #NoPoliciesNapkins

@dellavaris @ThavasRas Trust the science….they are a fact free zone

Greens co-leader claims 2025 was the hottest year on record. In fact it was the third warmest for the world and the forth warmest for NZ. If you're going to catastrophise - at least get your facts right 🙄

@libertyscott Can’t imagine morning report listenship will increase

Former Alliance voting

@Suitandtie9999 @aniobrien Lots of votes up in the criminal classes

Ahead of the next election, the Labour Party is desperate to shake off its “soft on crime” label and the widespread perception that it cares more about criminals than victims. Here’s Labour MP Duncan Webb complaining that prisoners don’t have enough space in their cells and are feeling a bit cramped and uncomfortable.

@EricCrampton It won’t. We don’t have the technology to or equipment to drill into zones of such high temps

A New Zealand moonshot. If it pans out, we have energy abundance. youtube.com/watch?v=9HtDcR…

@libertyscott @EricCrampton Should have bulldozed it and got a private company to put a proper events centre in

Sell it

@libertyscott @_ConnorSharp Oh not those fact!

@_ConnorSharp Fun fact, this hasn't happened for SH1B or SH59, but it is a good case for commercialising the whole network and abolishing ratepayer funding as was proposed in 1999

Fun fact, if central government builds these RoNS, the old state highway they often replace will be divested to local government and become a local road. Which means more roads to maintain and operate for local councils, and so more cost, and so rates go up!

@quinnjin2009 @bryce_edwards Great, you just believe that as nz becomes more backward and irrelevant

@robot_ranger @bryce_edwards Left behind form what!? Being exploited by foreign corps? Meaningless BS.

@Suitandtie9999 Same bunch of grifters as usual

A group of climate protesters have blocked the High Court entrance in Wellington.

@SeanPlunket Good on you Sean for going to the source of the story. And the Pinot there isn’t bad either

Thought I’d have a look at the Bendigo Ophir mine site

@MHReddell @SincDavidson And those funny situations or places like Brighton in Chch having Saturday shopping. Banks included!

@SincDavidson In NZ I’m old enough to remember them having to close all day Saturday (until about 1980 I think)

I can remember when the shops used to close at midday on a Saturday.

@bobmccoskrienz Just one guy dressed as earth vader

This is how engaged the Greens are in public finance 😂😂😂😂

@MHReddell Stunning result for a monopoly! No doubt some really crap governance from the various council owners

1.7% return on shareholders’ funds for the half year. Not an acceptable rate of return

@libertyscott Bill English seems to get around Wellington without security. I’ve spoken to him in a few occasions in public and he’s pretty approachable

How is this different from pretty much all PMs? Was Hipkins, English, Key, Clark, Shipley, Bolger, Moore, Palmer, Lange, Muldoon, Rowling, Kirk etc any different, really?

@LizGunnNZ Basically the bed wetters got really worked up and rang Cindy over and over

Bombshell 2020 Memo: Ministry Of Health Knew Covid Was Low-Risk A key document has been obtained under the Official Information Act 1982: the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Health and the Office of the Chief Coroner, dated 18 March 2020. The document states in paragraph D: “According to the Director of Public Health, Covid-19 does not have a particularly high mortality rate and it is not particularly transmissible.” At that time New Zealand had only 12 confirmed cases and no deaths. Yet soon after, the government declared a national emergency, imposed strict lockdowns, disrupted society and the economy, and later mandated injections while publicly warning of extreme danger and high mortality. The stark difference between this early internal view and the fear-based narrative delivered to the public by Jacinda Ardern, Ashley Bloomfield, Chris Hipkins, and legacy media is certainly apparent. Why was New Zealand was subjected to such measures if officials already knew the virus posed a limited threat. With the Covid-19 Public Inquiry results coming out today or will Christopher Luxon’s government truly hold those responsible to account or will it all just add up to more politicking. I think we shall see that it is still fully up to the people of New Zealand to demand answers and accountability. Listen carefully, share widely, and question those who shaped the response. @_FreeNZ

@themblogger31 Giving them the most expensive electricity due to CFDs, etc. Not a good result for poor people

But not New Zealand. Our fossil fueled Coalition Govt has turned its back on sustainable and green energy. For this, ordinary Kiwis will pay the price

@okanepeter @NZNationalParty Tbf it was a shithole before they were in govt

15 years ago NZ is about to learn what its like having @NZNationalParty in charge when there is a disaster, East Chch still a shtihole thank to Key and Brownlie

@JoelMacManus Great start and he’s reading the room well

So far, Andrew Little has cancelled the Golden Mile, cancelled the bike lanes, given Ray Chung a promotion and spent $20 million on a flower house.
