Yep. Johnson’s column bypasses “embattled” and goes directly to “dead man walking” 😂

“ “If you want a job, go where the jobs are.”

“he told a broke, exhausted nation in recession that he was “wealthy and sorted”.

“ telling parents of poor kids that if they didn’t like the prison slop on offer in schools, make a marmite sandwich.”

“He’s a dead man walking.”

After that disappointing local election result...

How about we show more love to @nzgreenparty.bsky.social and @tepaatimaori.bsky.social ?

And start working on making next year's general election a proper showing? For the majority of us, not just the rich and the venal?

You can’t hate fascists and use AI slop generators. They’re the same thing: total destruction of truth at scale.

#nzpol Danger Will Robinson! 🚨🚨🚨

This revolting government is trying to slip thru reapprovals for inhumane female pig breeding crates again. You only have this week to submit on the legislation amendment so please give this some of your urgent civic minded attention!

Energy poverty is rising - and THIS is the government's response?

The govt is helping the shareholders of the fossil fuel industry and the gentailers, when they should be helping lower energy costs through cheap, community renewables!

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

Heads up - New Zealand government's annoucements on 2050 climate target will be made midday Sunday NZ time. Will we be the first country to weaken a legislated 2050 target?

Email from the Ministry for the Environment:

Tēnā koe,
On Sunday at 12.00pm (12th October) the Government will make an announcement about New Zealand’s 2050 climate change targets.

The Ministry for the Environment will also release the 2025 emissions projections at 5.00pm on Sunday.

Ngā mihi

Thought so. I shall wait for all of the social media posts from various political actors clearly condemning this political violence and unacceptable behaviour against Parliament's first nonbinary MP.
