My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

Interesting, I haven't seen a single comment anywhere in support of Jordan Williams, no one, it seems, believes his vehement protestations. He needs to agree to the waiver and sue successfully to have a chance of redemption. He doesn't seem interested in either which is all we need to know. #nzpol

Old US rapist angry at Canada again, Trump's latest tantrum comes after every world leader at the UN decided to hang out and chat it up with Carney instead of him. The orange shit gibbon is fuming in jealousy that the world very clearly prefers the more popular and successful Canada.

Canada is destroying itself by allowing millions and millions of people into the Country, essentially unchecked and unvetted, and who are causing problems that will soon be too big to handle. It is a Liberal takeover that will end very badly. Already showing up in their numbers. Big unemployment. 'Oh Canada!

Useful chart, you'll find NZ a few places below Japan. Next time you hear the '$10bn a year on debt servicing costs' 😱 😱 😱 , remember that the number being quoted is gross, like in accounting terms. My main beef with govt interest payments is that they are a transfer of govt $ money to rich people.

It would be utterly mind-boggling to me how any NZ teacher, nurse, caregiver, retail worker, or just about anybody not in the "upper managerial" classes, could vote for any party on the right. 99% of kiwis are closer to needing a foodbank, than to being a millionaire landlord... #nzpol

I’ve been beaten down and down and down. Yet I gave them chance after chance. Today, I snapped.
My letter to Labour:

Hello

I’ve been watching with growing weariness as NZ Labour fail to commit to undoing this government’s reckless mess, urgency abuse and other shifts to the hard right. 

Today I see that Chris Hipkins has confirmed that Labour will not reverse the hugely damaging and inequitable Landlord interest deductible. (https://www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361084332/labour-will-not-reverse-landlord-tax-cut-interest-deductibility-change)

Please immediately cancel my membership and cease billing for my donations. Clearly Labour do not want people like me to support you anymore, and I cannot support any party willing to keep the status quo when so much damage was done over the last 3 years. More centrist inertia is not what brought me into the Labour tent.

#NZpol I can’t see this reported by any media outlet. Media have widely reported the c- word fuss. "Cry me a river" was earlier in the day, apparently. (cont’d)
Rt Hon Chris Hipkins: When real wages have fallen, power prices have gone up, insurance prices have gone up, rates have gone up, insurance has gone up–all by more than 20 percent, under his leadership, in just the last two years–will he now admit that the cost of living crisis is not only not over, it’s getting worse under his leadership?

"New Zealand's quarterly growth rate was the weakest among key trading partners including the US, UK, EU, and Japan, and Australia." That should put to bed any notion that an underperforming economy is due to global factors, right? #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...
