There is only one media outlet reporting so far and it’s behind a pay wall.

Worth reading this whole thread. God collection of quantitative data on how badly the coalition and their tax cuts have impacted the economy #nzpol
Its the last Sunday before Christmas, so as a special treat to myself I thought that I would look over the last 3 sets of Economic and Fiscal Updates from the Government. That gives us a sense of change over time, and if the government's current approach is working. A loooong 🧵

Blue to white ombre for team colours off to Melbourne. I think I developed an efficient system for powder coating ombres. (Took some tries though!)

I’m ashamed at how our shitty misogynistic media went after Jacinda Ardern and peddled a bunch of conspiracy theory horseshit. That must be what he’s referring to.

Under Christopher Luxon, New Zealand is quiet-quitting on climate action commitments.

“It’s no secret that this Govt's approach to environmental policy is to let the polluters write the rules – and that’s why NZ has dropped in the rankings.”

NZ downgraded in global climate rankings
The Government's backtracking on climate policy has been noticed globally, with NZ now ranking 41st out of 63 nations on climate policy performance.

Honked my horn like an absolute jackass wherever people were stopped waiting for the hikoi in Paraparaumu. Couldn’t participate today but will be downtown this week for sure!

it’s a perfect metaphor for what he’ll do to them if he’s elected: abandon them with nothing
Definitely put these people in charge of a superpower.
