Too much economic ignorance in NZ: "government was bankrupted". NO & it's physically impossible. Labour also borrowed ~$80b, $50b of which was for Covid (saving lives, businesses etc) and otherwise had lower deficits than National. Nat borrowing MORE while wrecking it all

Chloe was right, was right to say it & right not to apologize There are multiple govt MPs saying privately they know the govt position is deeply wrong but are putting *themselves* first when it comes to the greatest atrocity of the modern age. That's FAR more than just spineless

80% of greenhouse gas emissions can be linked to just 57 companies: buff.ly/1rtQCOb We know who's responsible for this crisis. Time to phase out fossil fuels and #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #voteclimate

After going to the Gaza border and seeing aid get turned back, former NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark had withering words for the current New Zealand government. NZ seems to ‘stand for nothing’... stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360788…

Disgusting! Farmers now won't even need consent to pollute waterways as government undoes RMA fresh water protection rules #TooManyCows #TooMuchInfluence rnz.co.nz/news/political…

UK, Canada, Australia & 26 other countries have signed a joint statement calling for unimpeded humanitarian aid access to #Gaza. NZ has not signed it. This is beyond embarrassing. It’s utterly disgraceful. People are starving. Where is our govt’s moral compass?

She is principled , decent and intelligent. She shouldn’t apologise for speaking truth and threatening their brutal mediocrity Parliament set for showdown as Greens' co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick refuses to apologise for comments rnz.co.nz/news/political…

While solar and wind continue to grow across the world, China is leading the race to electrify 🇨🇳 What's more? Electricity’s share of final energy in China has been growing by about 10 percentage points per decade, way ahead of the United States and Europe⚡ 6/7

In April, China installed more solar power than Australia - a global leader in solar - has in all its history. In one month. Move over petrostates, the world’s 1st major Electrostate is here abc.net.au/news/2025-08-1…

In Iraq, temperatures are pushing 50 °C—demand for air-con has overwhelmed the grid, shutting key transmission lines and cutting over 6,000 MW, triggering a nationwide blackout. These extreme temps are deadly, putting millions at severe risk. #ClimateCrisis

Bye bye drums beating louder for Luxon after his $27k Queenstown mountaintop pavlova jaunt.

You could watch the news 24/7 & not know that: Our planet’s at its hottest in 120,000 years. Methane levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. CO2 levels their highest in 3 MILLION years. We're in a climate crisis. Denying it won't solve the problem. #ActOnClimate

Another free pass for the meat and dairy industry while the rest of us pay the price of their rampant pollution. Three of New Zealand's biggest emitters no longer have to reveal their climate impact rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

anyone else remember when a NZ politician sent a text to cancel a major procurement and cost the country $600 million? is there any other time in NZ history when an MP would've *got away with that*?

SIX HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS for cancelling our ferries. Yet she handed the mess to Winston squawking like the head seagull demanding pecking rights to the fish head ‘ I have deluvered !’ Now blaming Labour. Atlas Network. Taking the piss

when our nurses and teachers are on strike because they, rightly, won't accept the pay cuts the government is offering, remember: the government thought spending $671m to *not* buy some ferries was a more important use of taxpayers' money

This never fails to make me laugh. "Is that it." 😅🤣

NZ has now paid 120% of the full cost of 2 next generation, hybrid ferries for *checks notes* nothing at all. Those ferries were on track for 2025 & 2026 delivery. Extra points: our only rail enabled ferry is being retired on Monday & maintenance costs have doubled #nzpol

"If Brooke van Velden and Christopher Luxon thought avoiding a select committee process would allow them to dodge accountability for stealing $12.8 billion from low paid women workers we’ve got news for them." - Sandra Grey rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

A neighbour was telling us about their holiday to Spain. Too hot. Unbearable. Had to stay in all day. Husband came over unwell on a trip to the supermarket because of the heat. The fact the media and government did not adequately warn the public is unforgivable. Just beginning.
