WOW ๐คฏ
The number of times a State of Emergency has been declared this year in New Zealand ALREADY matches the 2025 total.
Itโs February.
This is what the Climate Crisis looks like.๏ฟผ
New Zealand has lost 29% of its glaciers since 2000
That means in only 25 years, we've lost almost 1/3 of our glaciers, that had been existent for millions of years prior.
Oceans continue to warm
Meanwhile this govt are pushing through bills to disband the Ministry of Environment #NZ #nzpol
Lead story in this morningโs NZ Herald: โโRough night and a wild morningโ: Evacuations, thousands without power as storm hits North Island. Wellingtonians have been warned to stay indoors if possible.โ
A snippet from the Heraldโs live blog this morning showing PM Christopher Luxon with an umbrella: โMeanwhile, at Eden Park in Auckland, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is about to make an announcement, under some heavy rain.โ
Front page of Stuff News website this morning: โWellington Wales to chaotic scenes and major disruption as storm rages on.โ A breaking news banner adds: โMajor disruption for highways, trains, planes, ferries and power as storm rages on.โ
Another top story on the stuff page, filed under โBreakingโ and โRugby leagueโ: โHistory-making State of Origin match confirmed for New Zealand.โ
This morning in (heart)breaking news:
New Zealand: Multiple states of emergency, right now
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon: State of Origin footy match, 2027 ๐
NZ: Wellington cut off, digging out from huge storm
PM: Yeah gidday from Auckland, itโs raining here too โ๏ธ
NZ: Help?
Luxon: Catch! ๐
Really quick chart to show the rise of declared state of emergencies due to sever weather events. See the trend?
Also we are only 45 days into 2026!
Can we talk about climate change now?

There's been this hit job on the Green Party by ACT's NZCPR, claiming money was "stolen" from water infrastructure for cycleways.
In fact, their Council invested significantly, more than others over decades.
They put $2.7 billion to 3W in 2021 and 1.8% of that on cycleways #nzpol
And the government wonโt prioritise or plan for climate change
She showed her moral incompetence when she apparently didnโt know the mystery documents author and used it without authenticating it. Yeah just not believable
If only Casey Costello had written in her diary who gave her the mystery documents #NZPol
"How on earth can we possibly say that somebody was appointed because they were the best person for the job, when there was a decision to not even consider anybody else for that job?" - Chloe Swarbrick. #NzPol
Paul Goldsmith does it again. Putting National people in positions of power to control issues when National isnโt in government. Same playbook from overseas. God this Government Coalition canโt be trusted
I do not trust Costello. Sheโs proven sheโs dishonest and not fit for the job, sheโs heavily compromised
Yes I have family member diagnosed with depression at the age of 15. Now 28 years old and 13 years of depression medication and totally misdiagnosed. Not depression but clearly ADHD. Canโt afford to get assessed ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ
Burn it down
Heโs been taking acting classes
A climate emergency fund would be useful right about now.
Oh, that's right, Luxon canned it so he could funnel more money to landlords.
Lest we forget: โGovernment rejects all of Climate Change Commission's emissions target recommendationsโ
โThe move comes despite the Commission warning the effects of climate change are hitting New Zealand sooner and more severely than expected, and that NZ can and should be doing more.โ

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...
Iโm in ๐๐
Gosh I needed this today. Haha love it
If Luxon was the CEO of NZ inc then heโs just gutted R&D, massively downsized production capacity and shipped off any profitable assets to his competitors.
Either he is a corrupt corporate spy,
OR
Heโs about to leave and wants to go out with an amazing looking quarter.
Grossly negligent.

Appalling batshittery from the Act Party's 'Free Press' newsletter this morning.
Omg๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ. How on earth do we negate this world salad promoting hate and division. Comparing things that should be incomparable. The anger in me is rising omg ๐คฌ๐คฌ
How has he not been declared not fit to lead already. Clearly suffering from severe cognitive decline
Someone with 8% vote didnโt have the power to do this on his own. Luxon obviously is a fan but Winston omg heโs campaigned on protecting New Zealanders rights to property. Winston is literally turning his back on everything. Does he even remember his policies?
God how blatantly racist he is. Unashamedly too. ๐คฌ
He compares it to schools in America over Xmas, in other media as well But doesnโt mention Itโs their winter, they get 2-3 weeks Over Xmas. Plus summer breaks for schools are 2-3 months long, then add in all their state and federal holidays. Our school are open longer than American schools.
Callous, ignorant and not qualified
Wow, my husbands 11 months in and still waiting for first appointment with Orthopaedic surgeon. X-ray 12 months ago got him on the waiting list then nothing. Public system still failing many
