“Frankly, I don’t care” epitomises Luxon’s time as PM. #nzpol Some of the things Luxon doesn’t care about: Homelessness NZers dying in hospital while waiting to be seen. People dying on the streets in winter People starving People being made homeless by no cause evictions Pay equity Racism Lies

Cousin in UK says diesel has hit £2.04 per litre there.. so, only a matter of time for that fuel to arrive in our ports. ==> @ $4 plus!

Yeah, passenger rail is good.. even more so if electric, investing in the future plus sustainability. Cross-party agreement on electric freight rail could be part-funded with private sector lnvestment, providing (literal) buy-in with operator commitments to use it. Some already do favour rail.

Nats' no new taxes spin is BS. Firstly, increasing taxes and levies and rearranging them is what they do.. 2nd .. Key promised not to increase GST and did just that. The #TrojanHorse is Luxon, not just the COCs he allowed 100% free reign. www.stuff.co.nz/national/331...

Apparently good economic management involves increasing unemployment until one in six young people are out of work, poor, and increasingly disenfranchised. Is this 'building the future'? Would 'fixing the basics' not involve fixing this disaster?

Obviously I adore the promise of actual intercity trains in Aotearoa, instead of the few tourist trains we have now. But I think we also really need to push for higher levels of (electrified) intercity rail freight too, and not forget such in our (correct) love for passenger rail.
