It’s been revealed that the NZ govt is doing a deal with Trump to give the US access to critical minerals.
This could mean vast strip-mining of the Taranaki seabed for vanadium to build US weapons.
We have to stop them.

I have a bug bear to get off my chest, it's a insult to sex workers to call Melania Trump one, sex work is a reputable service industry with a client/s and provider/s

Labour's Future Fund appears distinct from NZ First's one in many ways. The main one is that Labour is seeding this with NZ money and NZ state assets. Returns are ring fenced and returned back for NZ investment - with a view to long term prosperity, infrastructure, innovation & wealth #nzpol

One day a journo is gonna ask why it’s acceptable to raise taxes on EVERYONE except the top 1-2%. Not today tho. Probably not tomorrow either. But one day. I have hope.
Someone is going to have to pay to keep the country's finances in order, says Treasury, and since it obviously can't be landlords or tobacco companies or the wealthy, we're afraid it's going to have to be you.

I am so happy for Charlie Kirk. We should all be so lucky as to die for something we believe in. He dedicated hours, day, months of his life to saying that the cost of believing in the second amendment was that people were murdered by firearms.
How amazing for him that he got to make that sacrifice.
