I am assuming that Mainfreight have always supported KiwiRail and they are not some sort of competetor. I don't really care for either of these arguments. Driving at night seems "reasonable" when someone else is doing it. Bus lanes with trucks seems equally bad. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Just watched the first 10 minutes of the movie Prime Minister and I am reminded of what it is like to have a spirited, intelligent, thoughtful leader. For nearly 8 years we were the envy of the world, and they were right to envy us. And then the right wing tore her and us down. #nzpol

And now we have and fundamentalist egg who only wants to see his pile grow and to carve out a niche for himself on the world of touring former PM's so he can continue to travel on someone else's dime and attend "important" meetings. The forever CEO and to be forever useless to us all.

So just asked GPT a question about NZ petroleum imports. Rough estimate of NZ exposure to Hormuz Putting the pieces together: ~90%+ of NZ fuel imports come from those Asian refineries. ~75–80% of their crude comes from the Persian Gulf. Most Gulf crude exports go through Hormuz. #nzpol

Back-of-the-envelope estimate: 90% × ~75–80% ≈ ~65–70% of the crude underlying NZ fuel imports originates in the Gulf Therefore roughly two-thirds of the oil supply chain behind NZ fuel probably passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Come on people, it's ONLY a poll! HE would do MUCH better in the real election. Lets all get behind our PM to get him across the line! It's important to get our support behind the him now! CEO-PM for PM again! #nzpol

Still finding ways to blame a woman! FFS it's HIM, he is the ponce! He decided to go and do these things. No one made him do this! He thought he was above the law and now he is finding out!

Are the New Zealand government demanding access to the Epstein files to determine if some of our citizens need arresting? I am led to believe that Peter Thiel was a great freind to Epstein. #nzpol

Why does Air New Zealand drape itself in the Koru and Maori symbolism and yet cannot bothered to publish their website in The Reo Maori? I don't speak Te Reo but FFS I am not using Maori cultural symbols to make money. Did consecutive CEO's just say what it the least we can do?

Pepperidge farm remembers the outrage at the Labour Green coalition refusing to give Gumboot Friday money because they didn't fill out the required application paperwork. It seems that that was justified now that the shoe is on another foot! #nzpol

Is this one bad apple or the rotten centre of the tree? It seems to me that this is a symptom of the disease rather than a canker. #nzpol

An hour to debate one of the biggest increase in living costs? Chair - Gerry Brownlee - National Chris Bishop - National Jamie Arbuckle - NZ First Stuart Smith - National Todd Stephenson - ACT They are taking the piss 5-4 on the Business committee #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/thehous...

rnz.co.nzThe House: Parliament finds energy to debate power costsThis week, Parliament allocated an hour to debate New Zealand's struggling energy sector. While all parties agreed it was an issue, they diverged on how to solve it.

A chance for the government to step up and make sure our bees and bee-keepers are protected from this pest! I wait to be surprised with a co-ordinated response to eradicate this as we did with the pea weevil and Mycoplasma bovis. Not going to hold my breath tho! #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
