And many of those same families and networks were also profiting off Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

Countries that have adopted electric vehicles the fastest will suffer the least from oil price spikes caused by the US/Israel attack on Iran.

NZ is not one of those, thanks to Luxon’s poor leadership.

I’m so glad as a nation we decided to massively invest in renewables - oh wait 🤔🥴🤦‍♀️

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

I am thinking that the decrepit sack of dog mince Winston Peters went on radio yesterday and said the 2023 election results stopped NZ becoming a "Venezuela or Myanmar" and we're RATIONING DIALYSIS to hit an arbitrary spend target.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, Luxon’s lot are going to kill the Clean Car Standard.

At a time when fuel prices are rising and emissions have to come down.

Russia is the only other OECD country without these standards, it’s BONKERS.

'I want to sounds smart and inspirational': How ministers use AI Most ministers say they don't use AI – but those who do use it for speechwriting, research, drafting questions to officials and generating images. Marc Daalder reports.

Unbelievably on the day Erica the North Shore racist pushes a leadership bid Marc Daalder details her getting a speech from ChatGPT.

She actually typed "I want to sounds smart and inspirational." Great use of grammar for an Education Minister.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

New modelling shows renewable electricity can meet NZ’s future demand – without importing gas New Zealand could meet its electricity needs through renewables and avoid power shortages during dry years by combining battery systems with pumped hydro schemes.

Do we need National's gas? No, we don't.

Left wing politicians need to offer hope, material improvement and a reason to vote for, not just against to voters. They must also master the art of saying "get a load of this fucken guy" about their right wing opponents, many of whom fail to pass the uncanny valley test.

Remember when you were so sick you couldn’t stand long enough to make food? When your limbs felt like wet concrete, your body begged to stay still, and every task felt like climbing a mountain you didn’t have the strength for? That’s the fatigue many chronically ill people carry quietly every single day. @dear_chronic_pain

Maybe it's futile to ask conservatives to think a little harder, but the answer to "why are we bringing in immigrants when youth unemployment is at 15%?" Is actually pretty simple

Those unemployed 19 year olds are not qualified nurses, software developers, or engineers

These are real humans. Each one was someone else’s world. Each one was no different than us or our children. And we all know no one will ever be held accountable for this war crime. #nzpol

Cuba is in a major blackout now. No country brave enough to stop it. No people powerful enough to pressure their government. Bleak

If we passed Bernie Sanders' 5% wealth tax on billionaires, Musk would still have $792 billion.

Zuckerberg would still have $209 billion.

Bezos would still have $207 billion.

And we would have trillions in revenue, more money in our pockets, and a better healthcare system.

Do you want to be in the 1%???

Great, then be in the 1% of old men over 50 that vote for Te Pati Māori.

Grumpy old men and ignorant young men are literally what is wrong with this country.

Patriarchy, greed and racism are LITERALLY holding Aotearoa hostage.

😬😰😖

The dumbest people on earth, ie our current government #nzpol

Feargal is superb. Get him involved in govt.

I’m gutted. I love Jasmine Crockett. She’s a much better fighter imo. & Dems so badly need fighters.

This is so fucked up.

Given the popularity of this, a wealth tax would help them get elected, because the people who aren’t for a wealth tax are never going to vote left bloc anyway….

You have to ask why, given it’s such popular policy, Chris Hipkins won’t go there…? We know why parties on the right won’t, but Labour? You would think this would be a no brainer… maybe Labour needs a leader that pushes policies that reflect the will of the majority & benefit the most people. #nzpol

Woolworths NZ shares half-year results - FMCG Business A disciplined focus on reducing costs and driving operational efficiency has led to 2.8% sales growth and a 22.4% increase in Earnings Before Interest and Tax.

Unemployment is high, wages are stagnant & the cost of living is out of control - and Woolworths NZ reports a huge half-year profit. Not because they charge Kiwis outrageous prices for food, you understand, but because of "a disciplined focus on reducing costs and driving operational efficiency". 😡

'It's proof': New coral evidence clashes with Govt's South Pacific trawling plan Footage identified 350 coral and sponge species on the Lord Howe Rise.

Incredible stuff here from Greenpeace.

This is all the evidence needed.

Bottom trawling HAS to stop.

Go figure.

And more, this applies in EVERY country...
