The Green Party are backing farmers to succeed & we believe we have more in common than most think. Alma & Dave, your candidates for Selwyn & Rangitata, will be at the Ellesmere A&P Show this Saturday. So come on over and say hi. Let’s chat about what we can do together, for all of us. #nzpol

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

The Greens wealth tax would be barely noticeable to the ultra wealthy. It would not stop anyone from innovating. The narrative from the right is ridiculous. Anyone who would flee for paying a tiny fraction more to support the country they live in does not care about it. #nzpol
