Great sobbering video from a great content creator. A lot to digest here. NZ has become an extension of self destructive US style policy and an embarrassment on the international stage. Our political generation is the villain in our childrens and grand childrens stories. youtu.be/8sa7uh192r0?...

Mean while at COP30 NZ leaders continue to bring us shame on the world stage. " there was encouraging news as momentum behind the adoption of a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels picked up additional steam yesterday. The number of countries joining the call now at 85. " Guess who isn't on the list.

This is a fundamental policy that I’ll be looking to vote for in the 2026 election. TPM & GREENS are so far the only parties brave enough to publicly make it a priority policy. It can be done ✅ #TaxWealthMore #TaxWorkLess #LivingWageNZ #nzpol #NZPolitics #Aotearoa #NZ #ToitūTeTiriti #TangataTiriti
