NZ building a fossil gas import terminal in the #climatecrisis could be Luxon’s most STUPID idea yet.
Why not spend that BILLION dollars on household solar and battery installation?
Would be safer, more resilient, provide cheaper power and climate-friendly.

So it would seem, the Palestinian diaspora is much larger than the Zionist Jewish diaspora by four to one in Australia, but you wouldn't think that given the coverage by legacy media.

Nurses say the big jump in reported assaults is due to under-staffing and patient frustration, but Health NZ Te Whatu Ora says it’s because staff are encouraged to report incidents.
