Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Come on now #SST, we've all read #NickyHager's #DirtyWork book. We KNOW you're a branch of #JordanWilliams' #Taxpayer'sUnion. #nzpol #VoteGreenPartyAotearoa26

RNZ asking the Sensible Sentencing Trust and TPU for comment on the new attack billboards is yet more evidence they learned nothing from Dirty Work. These are bad-faith PR orgs and RNZ is willfully running cover for them.

Yep! Direct from the MAGA/REFORM UK discourse playbook. It should have no place on our shores.

A Catholic Latina might impose Shakira Law.

Since when do we get to vote on whether we honour an agreement?

Shrink government to a size where it does very little and only the wealthy can afford to have a half decent standard of living. Understandably, neither party campaigns on the destination, only the journey.

I think Erica Stanford is talking to a Rotary Member there 😂😂😂

Absolute fire from Aaron Smale here. #nzpol

Lots of "politicians and gangs" in the election news. For completeness, I'd like to see "politicians and people who believe great replacement theory", "politicians and extremely conservative religions", "politicians and pedophiles who were the head of the party and had that fact suppressed" too.

“CHILDREN IN POVERTY CANNOT EAT A SURPLUS”!!! Say it louder team, and keep on saying it loud! 💚🕊️✅✅ #nzpol #NZ #Aotearoa #TaxTheRich #ForAllOfUs

“The men in the photograph … watched a woman be publicly destroyed for standing in a room with them and telling them that their vote could change the government .. They were the only people in this whole affair with nothing to gain and they paid for it anyway.”

List of people criticising Greens/TPM for meeting Mongrel Mob members when they themselves have had meetings with Mongrel Mob members: - Don Brash (formerly Act and National) - Nicole McKee (Act) - Willie Jackson (Labour) #nzpol

Tama Potaka (National). Not sure of the context of the photo but here he is, in a photo, meeting gang members. #nzpol

Kerrin Leoni breaks silence on resignation, says whānau turned into 'political weapon'

“Think about what never happens. A candidate photographed at a Federated Farmers breakfast is not asked to account for the nitrate in the Manawatū. A candidate at a corporate box is not asked whether he endorses the firm's tax structure.“ culture-centered.blogspot.com/2026/10/the-...

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Let’s add, war criminals, Nazis…

#nzpol It's OK to talk to: * tobacco lobbyists * alcohol pushers * farming reps * climate deniers * gun nutters * business groups * sustainability greenwashers * believers in trickle down * vaccine cookers * outright racists But, somehow, it's not OK to talk to gangs? Sigh. 🙏

This 👇 had me yelling YES!! over my coffee this morning. A decade of feeling like the only adult in a room full of 10 year old bullies.

I have considerable interest and reckons about the cricket world, in NZ and beyond and the NZ team, selections, strategy, & direction. However, I have no expertise or experience (beyond Intermediate School Junior Grade - early 1970s). Waiting for media to inquire, and then print, my reckons.

Turning our politics into some kind of gameshow does a massive disservice to our particular democracy. The debate style format has been taken wholesale from the US and it's as effective as making politicians sit down and do a pub quiz. We need proper discussion of policy. Maybe next time...

Agree, strongly. I want to hear more about the stakes and less about the odds; more about how parliament works, and the duties and constraints of the role they're auditioning for, and why urgency is being used for culture-war nonsense, and and and... Like, let's get to the bottom of this stuff.

#nzpol Time for the left to know its friends from its enemies Unlike Brown who has no background in Health, Verrall is an expert in pathology & molecular medicine. She critiqued Labour's pandemic response and led well as Minister for Food Safety; Research, Science & Innovation and Minister of Health

Disgusting, as usual. Sigh. #nzpol

One of the most interesting questions for me re:Opportunity is what happens if they lose (don’t get 5%)??? Does Q get fired? Remember, at this stage she’s an employee. Who fires her? #nzpol

We could’ve beaten ‘straya if it wasn’t for our Finance Minister’s staggering levels of incompetence.

Te Pāti Māori's Oriini Kaipara on gangs: "I see whānau"

In last nights debate, christopher luxon said he was a big dolly parton fan and his favourote song was "9 to 5". He has either never actually listened to that song, or he made a very obvious lie for very little reason.

"We must run the country like a business" "Cool, so we're going to borrow at favourable interest rates to invest in productive assets and people?" "No, we mean lay-offs and asset-stripping"

lmao. fuck off you parasites
