It's deeply disappointing that on the day that Sam Neill dies we have a blathering idiot for a PM

I’d like to propose a bill that would allow 60% of the cabinet to be sold off as sex slaves. Don’t like the idea?

NZ does not have an LNG problem or an energy problem; it has a corruption problem

The pitch for "small" nuclear in NZ is nothing more than a transparent move to try to stop any transition to green/renewable energy.

New Zealand has been towed outside the environment
#nzpol

Worth a ponder: A democratically elected Northland council made a decision approved by a democratic vote and the government is legislating against this decision because it says it is not democratic. Meanwhile the same government, supposedly acting as the legitimately democratically elected representatives of the citizens of New Zealand, pushed/is pushing for legislative changes that were rejected by 98% of a record number of submissions to select committee.
Does everybody see the inconsistency here?

We are living through a paradigm shift in which diplomacy ceases to be a matter of negotiations between sovereign nations and becomes a matter of business agreements between corrupt oligarchs and their families

We can't have solar because it saves money for the wrong people
We can't pay out a living wage because it gives money to the wrong people
We can't support the disabled because it gives money to the wrong people
etc.
I sense a theme here

The PM claims to accept climate change, but he whores the country out to the fossil fuel business for money
#nzpol #climatecrisis

The NACT government does not care about people. It only cares about people with lots of money. It makes fake promises about how you could have lots of money too, except that it is actively helping the people with lots of money already to take even more from you.

Sucks to live in a country whose government believes they should help the successful and punish the needy.
Yes there are other countries like that but
I don't think I have lived in one until the last couple of years.
