@DrZiggymorph @Feijoa_Chutney Yes tend to agree. It is a choice people can make for themselves, and will depend on wealth or ideology (not a criticism). No subsidies should be applied - taxpayers end up subsidising someone else’s choices.

FUN FACT: Not only does the state of Utah manage the largest cloud seeding program in the United States, it also manages the largest remote seeding program in the world. The government uses planes, drones, and at least 190 remote-controlled generating stations across the state to spray silver iodide and other chemicals in clouds to pull more moisture out of them.

Cloud seeding and geo-engineering used to be one of the most commonly mocked “tinfoil hat” theories. Now they openly admit they’re doing it and that it’s actually beneficial. Utah spent $200,000 on spraying silver iodide in the air in 2022. That grew to $16 million in 2025.

@chrislynchmedia The Govt should not be involved. If this is on top of current tourism spend then the Govt have lost their minds. Isn’t this just a case of hiding the Kapahaka $17m, or was it $29m over 3 years?

The Government's defending subsidising Robbie Williams’ concerts as an economic boost. Critics say it's secretive corporate welfare for a multimillionaire and big promoters while local operators miss out. I spoke to Minister Louise Upston. youtu.be/lbdm5Jk671Y?si…

The concept has not been tested in regards to the current paradigm; high fuel costs, with rationed supply and a need to keep the economy moving. The Govt cannot create a welfare subsidy program without the risk of high abuse of said program. The key here is simple: Get people to where they need to get to. Provide the transport, not a cash subsidy.

@PostQuake Bad idea. People are already using public transport more as petrol prices rise. And evidence of other trials suggests making PT free might attract more former pedestrians than former drivers.

Listening to @NicolaWillisMP on @NZMorningReport is so painful! She hasn't a clue how devastating fuel price increases are to families whose incomes already don't meet outgoings. She shd be increasing food bank support instantly & adding income support now not 'looking at it' ffs

🚨BOMBSHELL: STARMER & MILIBAND'S NET ZERO FANTASY SHATTERED – ENERGY CEOs REVEAL BILLS WILL STAY SKY-HIGH EVEN IF WHOLESALE POWER COSTS ZERO! 💣 🤯 MUST WATCH‼️ Energy Suppliers Plead With Government To Scrap Green Levies Forcing Bills Through The Roof , Testimony Straight From Parliament Demolishes All Labour Net Zero Claims⚡️💡 In a devastating blow to Keir Starmer and Ed Miliband's net zero dream, Britain's major energy suppliers laid bare the harsh reality in Parliament on 15 October 2025: Labour's green policies are driving household bills relentlessly upward, regardless of what happens to global gas or wholesale prices. Ed Miliband has repeatedly insisted that high energy bills stem purely from volatile global fossil fuel markets. That narrative has now been comprehensively demolished by the very industry executives Labour claims to champion. Chris Norbury, CEO of E.ON UK, delivered the killer line that exposes the whole net zero con: "Some of the modelling that we have suggests that you could get to a position by 2030 where if the wholesale price was zero, bills would still be the same as they are today because of the increase in those non-commodity costs." This means astonishingly even if wholesale costs fell to zero, bills would STILL not fall, and could even rise further, due to the explosion in policy-driven charges. Rachel Fletcher, Director of Regulation and Economics at Octopus Energy, piled on the pressure with equally brutal warnings: "If we continue on the path we’re on now, electricity prices are going to be 20% higher in 4 or 5 years time than they are now. And that’s even if wholesale prices halve." "Non-commodity costs are adding about £300 onto a typical bill." "The country as a whole at the moment, is paying over £20 billion a year on their electricity bills for policy costs. The projections are that that is going to increase. That will add another £100 to bills over the next four years." These non-commodity costs, green levies, renewable subsidies, network upgrades for electrification, and constraint payments to turn off excess wind power, are the direct result of the net zero agenda pushed by Miliband and Starmer. Energy bosses are effectively pleading with the government to scrap or reform the green levies that are forcing bills through the roof. This testimony, straight from the suppliers' mouths in a formal parliamentary session, fully demolishes Labour's claims that net zero will deliver cheaper energy for families. The evidence is undeniable: net zero isn't saving money, it's baking in permanently higher bills, even in a dream scenario of free wholesale power. Scrap net zero now!!

🚨BOMBSHELL! STARMER’S GREAT BRITISH ENERGY SCAM EXPOSED! CHAIR ADMITS: NO BILL CUTS, JOBS MAY TAKE 20 YEARS! 💣💥 Shocking Admission: No Timeline For £300 Bill Cuts, 20,000 Jobs Could Take Two Decades With Zero Guarantees 😳 🤨 Great British Energy Chair Jürgen Maier has been caught in a devastating real time admission exposing Keir Starmer and Ed Miliband's supposedly groundbreaking new state energy company for what it is , a failure that will deliver nothing like what was promised. Repeatedly pressed on when energy prices will fall by the pledged £300 , he could not give any answer. He admitted it is outside the company's remit and offered no timeline whatsoever. On the jobs front , he conceded they will be nowhere near what was promised. The 20,000 green jobs could take up to twenty years to create , and even then he stopped short of guaranteeing they will actually materialise. Weve been sold a complete lie to justify the extremely costly and damaging net zero agenda. No savings for hard working families , hardly any jobs created. What a f*cking farce. Scrap the lot now and drill, drill, drill!🛢️

Well. Australia and NZ appear to have the same problem. Govts commit to nonsense and charge consumers for wasting money on nonsense.

So willis is looking at a package for petrol relief for working families & has ruled out helping beneficiaries. So the elderly are penalized again. They have increased rents, electricity, groceries etc like everyone else, while on a fixed benefit.

@PronouncedHare Someone suggested free public transport. On consideration it may be a great move to trial for 4 weeks. 1. Keeps people going to work. 2. Allows freight companies to access fuel. 3. Reduces overall demand. Worth a try (6am - 6pm)

We are facing a shortage that’s a quantity problem. If there is not enough fuel physically available, lowering tax does not create more supply. Actually, lower pump price can increase demand, which is the last thing you want when supply is tight. That is precisely why MBIE’s disruption planning focuses on measures to reduce demand and increase supply. mbie.govt.nz/building-and-e…

Lets get this right. Nicola Willis will not reduce the fuel excise tax to help NZders at the pump because rich households like hers and Chris Luxon don't need that kind of support.
