"The state-owned electricity companies have seen revenue increase by $1.7b more than expected. This was “largely due to stronger sales revenue earned by the electricity generators and retailers,” the report says."

Remind me, who pays the electricity companies? #nzpol

Ugly yes, but recovery? What are we recovering from and does it count at all if things are getting worse instead of better? #nzpol #nickynoboats

We used to be the country that punched way above its weight internationally, e.g. being anti nuclear weapons, anti-apartheid, Covid response etc.

Now, we wait like cowards looking to see if the bully gets beaten by someone else.

Our govt is useless.

@clrenney.bsky.social Is this true?

The current government "got an inheritance, which was the biggest recession in 35 years"

Maybe the economy would do better if Luxon and Willis just left it alone. I know I'd be more productive if they left me alone. #nzpol

When Luxon says "I get it, people are doing it tough". He doesn't get it, and his people aren't doing it tough. #nzpol

scathing email from @chrishipkins.bsky.social in my inbox.

Agree. Luxon has never had control over the economy, instead has made it demonstratably worse for NZ'ers since day 1.

Be interested to hear from Hipkins details on what they'll do to undo this and actually get NZ "back on track"

National has lost the small business vote, and that’s ominous

OPINION: If last week showed me anything, it’s that National has unceremoniously broken small business voters’ hearts.

Thought Luxon was incompetent and out of his depth and Seymour / Peters would run rings around him. Then he shut up for a while and they got all the headlines - a cunning plan to let them do the dirty work he wanted done?. Nope, he opened his mouth to prove he is incompetent and out of his depth.

She told Jake Tame that she was too busy to front for charter schools and will leave that to David Seymour - but she isn't too busy to edit children's books?
