Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat.

Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela.

The South American country says its proved oil reserves top 300 billion barrels which, if true, would make its bounty the world’s largest.

You often articulate what I’m feeling but couldn’t say half as well, you put evidence to anecdotes and knock down the facade the govt has expensively wrought at the expense of the vulnerable and the icing on the cake is you always remind me there is hope in collective action & intersectionality.

Is this legal? Or are we just ignoring election costs?
National is spending up large on these disingenuous billboard and social media ads. Already.

They must have shitloads of money. *And* their internal polling must really be putting the frighteners on them.

It’s so tediously boringly fucking obvious we’re being screwed over from a great height while governments utterly fail to protect the people who have elected them from billionaires preying on them.

The fall of Destiny and Brian and Hannah Tamaki continues.

Two trusts owing 5M+ much of which is owned to the tax department and last minute name changes.

Why don’t they just pay their tax like the rest of NZ?

Ironic given their donors still get tax rebate on donations made to Destiny? #nzpol

The data shows the benefits of any growth has been very unequally distributed. Compensation of employees grew by 0.9% over the year to September. But the broad measure of profits grew by 7.2%. If there is a twin-track economy, workers and working people are on the losing track

#nzpol Data released today shows that for all the talk of green shoots, the economy hasn’t grown at all in 2 years. Unemployment is up, & the cost of living is still rising for middle and low-income New Zealanders. The GDP increase today simply balances out the fall previously. A Thread
