Honestly, fuck this guy. He's not a progressive candidate. Everything we're hearing from Little is that stale business vibes matter more than this city's future. Fuck him.

If he continues, as he said already indicated, to go down the Diane Calvert route of relitigating the long overdue Golden Mile upgrades and cycleways he can get in the bin. We don't need a Mayor who's only interested in pandering to backwards whingers.

Andrew Little better be the best fucking mayor this city has ever seen and stop the Labour Party bullshit of taking Wellington for granted. Fucking earn this role. We don't need a useless pale stale male who's only here because he feels entitled to the job.

These comments are pretty poor form for the leader of our country.

DIA knew the Wellington region’s priority was water reform, therefore there was no expectation from DIA in receiving an application from Wellington in this round. DIA did not consider that a slight on the regional deals programme.

Can someone in the media please fucking interview Ali Gammeter, former vice president of Young Act, who has repeatedly claimed that David Seymour knew in 2020 about Tim Jago, and she would know, because Seymour directed her to Tim Jago when the incels in young act harassed her.

7 months ago the National Science Challenges ended. AFAIK, the reliable funding that had supported that important science quietly disappeared. How many other quiet cuts make up the programme of austerity that has tanked the economy and reduced chances for increasing prosperity over time? #NZPOL
10 years ago this month, in what still seems insightful, the National Govt started finding the National Science Challenges, covering 11 areas that are important to NZ

This month, the work stops, the researchers will dissipate, the opportunities are lost

Good work Luxo! Crash the NZ$ just as oil is going up and $3/l 91 is in sight.

Cost of living up.
Inflationary pressure up.
Mortgage rates higher for longer.
Unemployment up.
Emigration up.
Business closures exceeding covid levels.

Great work champ.

It's really quite crushing, the shift from the hope, and dare I say it, pride, we experienced in 2020/21 when we did something that others claimed was impossible, and thrived, to this small-minded, venal, cabal of nasty little primping shits, determined to piss on everything that makes Aotearoa.

Less than two weeks ago, New Zealand signed up to the Coalition on Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Incentives Including Subsidies at #COP29.

Now the New Zealand Government is looking to Phase In Fossil Fuel Incentives.
Energy Minister Shane Jones says the Govt is considering options to support the oil and gas industry, after RNZ obtained letters showing the industry has asked the Government to "underwrite, guarantee or hedge" some or all of the risk of fossil fuel exploration.
