Why is Chris Bishop sending people speeding into a 'death trap'. When the Ōtaki to Levin highway was 100kmh many died; after the Ardern Govt reduced it to 80kmh no-one died, when Luxon Govt increased it back to 100kmh, the dying restarted. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

Can we petition the GG to dissolve the government when they knowingly pass bad law?
I do not know off the top of head what is in the oath an incoming government makes to the Governor General, but it seems like passing legislation you actually think is bad should be some kind of breach of it

The sum total of speeches that Luxon has made in the House for 2025 so far:
1 speech opening Parliament
1 speech for the budget
3 obituary speeches
No speeches of any type at all between 22 May and 16 October
Why are we paying the egg-in-a-borrowed-suit to be the PM?💩🥚

I can't think of any better way for a regime to completely destroy its own credibility than to announce that it will campaign against its own legislative program, and repeal a law it has just spent two years passing.

92% of the seats in parliament were against the law that passed, 98% of submissions were against it.
This is not how democracy should work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Our elected representatives are there to represent us - incredibly maddening.
National and NZF should both be punished by the electorate.

The English word ‘blue’ is a horse of a different colour.
While ‘blue’ is related to the words in its Germanic sister languages, such as German ‘blau’ and Swedish ‘blå’, it took a different route.
Its Germanic ancestor was loaned to French, where it became ‘bleu’, and then borrowed into English:

This point from this article is interesting - Q1 2023 had a dip in GDP & became a major criticism of Labour - a National and media pile on. That quarter had two major climate events - put us into the top 10 of claims globally.
Imagine how badly that would have turned out with this lot in charge?

Musk, while I suspect trying to uncover LW treachery, has shone a light on just how un-American the RW really are. Ooops
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Also the comparison to Australia is disingenuous
In Aussie they have a Mandatory Employer Contribution: By law, employers must contribute a minimum of 12% of an eligible employee's pre-tax income to an approved superannuation fund
That's paid in addition to wages and salaries

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.
Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.
