Chloe Swarbrick says she wants Finance. The reaction from the right has been very emotional. I feel for them. “Do you really want her steering the economy?” they say... Very little explanation of what, specifically, she would get wrong. Luckily Lacan has a theory about that. #nzpol

That, I think, is why some of the attacks on Swarbrick feel oddly objectless. The danger isn’t just what she might do as Finance Minister. It’s what she might reveal about the people who have spent 40 years telling us the money is all gone. andrewdicksonnz.substack.com/p/chloe-swar...

Fonterra increased climate emissions 4.3% in just two years. That is 1 million tonnes of emissions more per year in 2026 cf 2024. They are totally out of control. They lobbied to remove constraints on cow numbers and hey presto. view.publitas.com/fonterra/ann...

Right now, the richest pay $9 in tax for every $100 they make, while a teacher pays $22. The Greens would give 96% of earners an income tax cut, paid for not by cuts to public services, but ensuring the super wealthy pay their fair share.

Well really the question is: do they not require strengthening or does the law simply not require them to be strengthened? RNZ would be providing ‘news and information you can trust’ if its reporting made this distinction. #nzpol

I have AuDHD. I have to listen to audiobooks at 2x speed, to not zone out whilst listening. Is this common in the neuro-spicy community?

This whole thread is incredible, but this especially gets to the core of what's so fucking stupid about the hyper-capitalism of AI... They *know* their tools will be less useful when the sources they rely on start to die. But they don't give a fuck.

National are teasing tax cuts. They had to borrow and cut, to afford the last one. Will it all amount to a semantic shell game, with increased levies and cut tax? Will it be Asset sales and privatisation? Will it be service cuts? Will it be bigger debt? Or all of the above and more? Vandalism

Jack Tame. Would Unions have a better time under National, if they didn't support Labour? Well, not all Unions are affiliated with Labour. National has always been hostile to Unions. National have a history of eroding workers rights & health and safety. They're big business centric

What happened to the neutral public service? Three BIG things wrong with this graph. 1. The barely visible grey line that hits the target is referenced as 'updated to take account of Budget 2025 forecast'. The green line (added by me) is the Budget 2025 forecast 🤔. Talk about double-speak! [🧵 1/3]

My colleague is keen to have this government voted out. Is upset with the cost of life. But they're voting NZF. Worried about immigrants. How has Winston managed to detach himself from the outcomes that he's had a hand in? He's got a gift for Three-card Monte

My sister doesn't believe a Class system exists in NZ. She believes that we are egalitarian & anyone can easily traverse all levels of society. She does see that people come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. But that's no class difference, apparently. I disagree. But what do you think? 🤔

It has become an election of misinformation. Billboards claiming clearly false things have sprung up all over the motu. The worst culprit so far, National. Dirty politics is alive and well in NZ. What a disappointing shitshow, our democracy has become 😕

If National truly cared about children & young people being manipulated by media (hence their proposed social media ban) then they would immediately BAN advertising aimed at children & limit when, where, how much & for how long it can be deployed. They could fast track it TODAY. But will they…🤔 Nope
