Saw on discord a link to a facebook post by the National party which was a screenshot of a tweet (this combination being a crime in itself) in which the National party attacks the idea of a Labour/Green/TOP/TPM government and says we've never had 4 party government before. This is extremely funny.

Hi consumer, I'm your electricity gentailer. We're raising your prices, again, but it's for your own good! The more we raise the price, the more viable a home solar setup gets. Sure, people who rent or can't afford the up front costs get gouged, but that's a sacrifice we're willing to make. #nzpol

Famously, hiding the problem solves it. See also: move-on orders, kicking people out of emergency housing, and removing methane reporting requirements, gutting IOA laws, etc etc. #nzpol

Folks, is it good to have people working on stuff with the government conspiring to hide things from us the public? Things that we are legally entitled to know? Seems kinda bad. Seems kinda corrupt. Seems like the kind of thing that people would get hounded for if it was the left doing it. #nzpol

We have disrupted the GasNZ forum, because investing in expensive fossil gas will lock Aotearoa into skyrocketing power bills and climate risk for decades. We are calling for the Government to refuse to sign any incoming LNG contracts

Hey Hipkins, if you want to give people some reason to vote for you, but need a way to pay for it, try taxing a billionaire or two. Otherwise you've already lost this election. The rest of us are moving to the Greens. They're not scared of the 1%. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

NZ's health system isn't "under strain'. 12 day wait before I can see a GP. People dying in ED, 10+ hour waits there. My wife has an *urgent* referral in to Waikato and 4 weeks later we haven't even gotten an appointment yet. That's not "under strain". It has already collapsed. #nzpol

Good points from Willie Jackson about the damage done by Seymour with his corporate contracting of school lunches (copied from FB for those who hate that place)

What planet is David Seymour on?
The Auditor General has reviewed the mess he’s made of our school lunch programme and they have found that almost half the food is not nutritious and 20,000 meals are wasted every single day!

When we ran the programme, we made sure local businesses held the contracts to inspire local jobs, we made sure the food was nutritious and if there were issues, there was enough room to move the menu.

We know that for many of our whanau, that lunch represented the best meal a lot of our kids got.

Hungry children don’t learn, investing in something as simple as healthy food is a no brainer, yet what did Seymour do?

He slashed the budget and we ended up with food so bad that many don’t want it.

This is how the Political Right spoil and ruin good public services, they underfund them and make them so bad people don’t use them so the Right can then claim there is no demand.

There is only one thing you can do with someone like David, and that is vote him out of Government.

Make sure your whanau are enrolled now because this Government have changed the enrollment timeframe in order to rob you of your vote.

Our mokopuna deserve better than this.

People are very generous/reckless betting with *our* money, but with their own, not so much.

Snipped from Ed's article that says:
"Another worrying sign is that SoftBank was unable to raise a $6 billion margin loan with its entire OpenAI stake — likely valued, at least on paper, at over $100 billion — as collateral. This suggests banks have little faith in the company."
