“Chief Electoral Officer Karl Le Quesne said the shrinking of NZ Post services was partially to blame” So, a risk to voters getting information reminding them to vote is a direct consequence of successive governments running down NZ Post. #nzpol

World’s largest banks pledged $906bn to fossil fuel companies. More coal, oil and gas production for years as planet overheats. Your savings used to fund food, water, seas, climate crisis. People have no say as execs, shareholders enrich themselves.

Come on Winston Peters, this young Māori woman needs our help. Stop sucking up to the US and do something about it. I bet if she'd been detained in Russia he'd be all over it like a rash.

Veteran NZ journalist Richard Harman -
POLITIK

The Maiki Sherman lynch mob is frightening. This is the most hostile environment within which to be a political journalist I have known in my 55 years as a journo. The mob is ruling at the moment. They have tasted blood. Who will they turn on next?

Families fight to put food on the table. Meanwhile the ACT Party and Coalition Government spent $150,000 on a 'Road Cone hotline'. Closing after 6 months & 200 cones removed, costing Kiwis ~$750 per cone (and they gutted Worksafe - putting real lives at risk!) We too wish this was satire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Photos of ACT politians brooke van velden and david seymour, with roadcones put on their heads in a cartoonish style. Money notes are flying around under them in the same style.

Text underneath reads "they spent $150,000 of your money to remove 200 road cones."

I remain of the view that the key issue here is that the government could not use Transport funding to build a footbridge everyone wanted, ministers included, because the same government has deliberately made that impossible. It's a point Audrey Young completely misses.

A little example, I think, of how our political media generally struggles to zoom out and look at systemic issues, not just react to the news of the day. There is a story here; it's not about fireworks. It's about NZ First's abuse of the members' Bill ballot to generate headlines.

Found this on Facebook, and I became an immediate fan. Figuratively speaking, of course.
On the left:
Trickledown Economics. Ask nothing of the wealthy and their corporations and they will eventually create a society in which all prosper.

On the right: Pinata Economics. Instead of fruitlessly waiting for wealth to trickle down, beat the rich with blunt instruments until the gold flows.
