It’s called lying. #nzpol “National leader Christopher Luxon has incorrectly suggested that an allegation about the Greens originated from the media - when it in fact came from his Minister.”

Luxon wrongly suggests allegation about Greens originated with media

National bashing the mostly community trust owned lines companies rather than taking on the gentailers is absolutely pitch perfect nasty Nat stuff. Those lines are owned by the users, National policy would eventually see them privatised, in part by beginning privatisation of newly developed lines.

I think the Mata poll showing a surge in support for the Greens among Māori voters signals a structural shift as millennials/Gen X Māori rapidly outnumber the older population. This shift was emerging 10 years ago, and for the foreseeable Labour/Greens/and TPM will roughly share support in thirds

Context
A chart showing new EV & PHEV sales over the years.  The market absolutely fell out when the new National govt had a fucking insane idea to stop incentives to get EVs, then when Trump thought he should start a war instead of going to jail for being a Pedo & fuel prices went through the roof, EV sales have risen again
