So struggling kiwis are going to subsidize for years nz's largest gas user multinational Methanex & fonterra. The only profit Methanex make is on-selling (price gouging) their gas quotas to electricity retailers during shortages.. All very corporate socialism from Luxon.. #nzpol

National's gas tax policy has all the clusterfuck genius of their paywave surcharge ban that ended up costing everyone more. #nzpol

Natural Gas is fueling the AI data center bubble apparently. No idea if there's any coincidence with Luxon's gas tax announcement in regards to future data center plans here.. #nzpol

This Luxon gas scheme feels dodgy, like he needed to lock it now just in case they lose election. The minister says it could be online by next winter , this, the same gov that couldn't even run a roadcone tip line.. #nzpol

I absolutely guarantee you that the below and Luxon announcing a gas terminal isn't a coincidence. Corrupt piece of shit #nzpol

Some governments raise taxes to fund public health and education. Not Luxon. He is literally raising taxes to subsidise fossil fuels. He is putting a levy on our electricity bills to pay for his LNG import terminal.

I hope the Greens go full on attack mode now leading into election on the total neglect & outsourcing of critical infrastructure in NZ, never have they had a more relevant literal shitshow in the spotlight to campaign on. #nzpol

So we are going to rely on a highly volatile global supply chain instead of just investing in more clean renewables employing more people. Can't see this ever coming back to bite NZ. #nzpol

The Luxon government's announcement it will build a LNG import terminal is a dirty, dumb and expensive decision that will leave New Zealanders subsidising more climate pollution through higher electricity bills.
