Act knew there would be enough white supremacists to get rid of a lot of Māori wards and they were right.

Before it won the 2022 federal election, the Labor Party promised stronger action to curb climate change. Since then, it has approved coal and gas projects that will emit a cumulative 6.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. satpa.pe/Fix1oXv
Labor’s slate for fossil fuel approvals
The Albanese government has already approved 31 fossil fuel projects, and more than that are waiting, even as renewables overtake coal as the top source of electricity.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Wow! I happened to see him play in the USA 20-odd years after this - a truly stunning and charismatic performer.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/qdnOZFWWrfXB...

Outrageous.

And a more accurate headline:
'Senator booted from parliamentary sports club for highlighting lobbyists' influence on politicians'.

When cosy relationships between gambling vested interests and politicians are assumed to be normal, it's no wonder we get such shit policy. #auspol

$50,000.00 sign on bonuses, student loan repayment, bonuses based on each person they detain, and other benefits. But we can't house the homeless, feed the poor, fund Medicaid, or care for seniors and veterans.

I just think journalists should ask Chris Luxon why he and his government are lying to us about their obvious hatred of children. Coz when he said
"we love ya"
he clearly meant
"We care about you conditionally, we love you conditionally, and we want to consign many of you to poverty and death."
Screenshot of a news article.

Luxon said the government did not want to "send a message to young people" that they could "just drift into welfare and that's it".

Then there is a photo of Prime Minister Christopher Luxon at a press conference in Auckland. The article text resumes.

"I make no apologies for it. If you want a job you go where the jobs are."

He said parents needed to get their children connected to work, training or education.

"Kids need to go to school... expect them to participate in work, training or education.

"We care about you, we love ya, but don't want to consign you to a life on welfare."

He estimated about 4300 young people would be impacted by the changes.

This is the guy who said he'd "move heaven and Earth to get you (children) a good education" and then cancelled school building projects. Which they have re-instated. So, not really, eh.
