Mayors everywhere should have been honest and said "We were wrong about Labour's 3 Waters, the reason we've had to raise your rates by so much is due to National's much worse and more expensive waters option, please don't blame us, they lied to us too" #NZPol

Mind blowing.

The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial.

Voting is fun! I just don't understand why the vast majority don't do it.

The cruelty of saying “hospitals are ready” by increasing ICU beds and body bags… instead of fixing the ventilation.

Just mull over that for a bit #MedSky.

Government lowers methane target, rules out methane taxes

The government is lowering its biogenic methane target for the next 25 years, a move welcomed by the industry but opposed by the Greens and environmental activists.

Ok after an afternoon of results, texts, calls, messages on other apps and emails, I have some thoughts on today’s Local Election results

1) Voter turnout is depressing. 32%ish on average across AoNZ is pathetic.
2) The Māori Wards referendum should never have happened - it was a racebaiting farce…

Whatever else the election brings, I'm proud of Lower Hutt for this. #nzpol

Lower Hutt votes to keep Māori ward

The residents of Lower Hutt have voted resoundingly in favour of keeping its Māori ward. The binding referendum, conducted alongside the local elections this year, will see Lower Hutt retain its Māori ward seat.

I VOTE TO KEEP THE MĀORI WARD / 14,816

I VOTE TO REMOVE THE MĀORI WARD / 9,279

At the same time, a non-binding referendum question on whether or not Lower Hutt should explore amalgamation with Upper Hutt, Porirua and Wellington City councils received majority support, with 13,290 voting yes and 10,865 voting no.

Been from home to Klibernie to Cuba to Lambton Quay to Queensgate on the search for boots, with no luck. At least the buses have been kind and I got a tasty treat from Taste of Greece and a mean pie from Cosy Cake Shop.

Apparently the key is to harass the mayor enough that she doesn't run again. Incumbent advantage sorted? :/

I don’t agree with every point made here, but the main thesis — what we do with billionaires’ money is secondary to the fact that a free society simply cannot allow them to have it — accounts for most of my politics these days.

Liberal Currents @liberalcurrents.com · 1d

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

1. The inflatable protest frog is cool
2. Anyone who extrapolates from that to "see, protests should be about laughing at people rather than being angry" is, at the very least, not helpful

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 2d

Thanks to London’s bold action, almost 10 million people are now breathing cleaner air.

That means fewer children will grow up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease.

A professor has branded the success a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality'
