Government has the power to lower prices with renewable generation but chooses not to

I almost missed that in a video where the former Chancellor of the Exchequer talks about "Institutional Credibility", the video misspells the word "credibility", which kind of sums this whole thing up

After milking it as much as it could during public hearings to grow their audiences, New Zealand's leading far-right, & anti-vaxx disinfo network now vehemently dismisses Phase 2's report - most likely because it doesn't embrace, & amplify their conspiracy mongering. Entirely expected. #nzpol
What's your sign?
That last gulp of coffee went straight through my nose, when I saw this.
Many Polymarket users won huge sums by correctly predicting when the US would strike Iran. Welcome to the gamification of information warfare.
Mumbles incoherently.
What fucking cognitive testing is being carried out on this cockwombling bunglecunt? He's in charge of the fucking nuclear football!
This is amazing. For anyone who hasn't heard of number stations, this is the trove to delve into.

National lamenting $60 billion Covid spend while they are on track to borrow $120 billion with no pandemic.
Labour saved 20,000 lives.
National are saving landlords and tobacco
My contempt for Tama Potaka knows no bounds. He can fuck right off with a report he has clearly not even read.
we are weeks away from 'Trump attempts to make horse a Senator' and the only thing stopping him is that he is too much of a sociopath to form an attachment to animals

Let's not forget.
Written a few months into Covid, this 2020 story details how brilliant New Zealand's response was.

I wonder if he knew Wing Commander Harry Stache.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Love Father Ted? Think Graham Linehan is a ginormous arsehole? Then maybe this is for you. Hourly Father Ted: a bot that posts a random frame from a random episode, every hour, on the hour. A Linehan-free zone*
Hipkins is live on Big Hairy News right now
Well worth the watch
The Ig Nobel awards (for science that makes you laugh and think at the same time) have traditionally been given in the US but this year they are moving because of concerns about safety of winners and journalists from Trumps regime
Ah, Amsterdam, never change.

A torrent of public outcry has followed the announcement of plans to amend the Summary Offences Act, giving police further coercive powers against unhoused people. As Marxists, while we should not hide our disdain for such policy, we should also not be surprised.

Early advice from the Minister for COVID-19 Response to Cabinet was that a strong health response was the best economic response. This was repeated in the Cabinet papers of 20, 23, 27 and 30 August, and 6 September. The 20 August 2021 paper set out the evidence officials considered supported that advice. Β° New Zealandβs infection and death rates were among the lowest in the world. Β° New Zealandβs unemployment rate was at the pre-COVID level of 4 percent, because jobs and businesses had been protected with the wage subsidy. Unemployment in New Zealand peaked at 5.3 percent (whereas in the United States and Canada it rose above 10 percent). Β° Economic activity in the March 2021 quarter was 2.4 percent above the previous year. Β° The Government was in a βstrong financial positionβ β net core Crown debt stood at 31.2 percent of GDP at the end of May 2021, 8.8 percent lower than the forecast 44 percent (a difference of approximately $40 billion). βThis gives us options to keep investing to protect New Zealanders and accelerate our recoveryβ
So Chris Hipkins not only took advice & kept the economy afloat and jobs and businesses alive through #Covid-19, he pushed to keep Kiwis healthy and alive at a time when corpses were piled up across Italy, UK, US, and India.
Kudos @chrishipkins.bsky.social #nzpol #newzealand
βTo convene a meeting which would play a fundamental part in determining Ms Kapa-Kingiβs future with the PΔti without involving her, without giving any indication that a resolution to suspend her was on the table, without allowing her an opportunity for a substantive response, and in the absence of the members of her electorate council, could not on any view be seen, for example, as elevating and enhancing relationships, as working together with respect, as promoting whanaungatanga, as working for unity, as developing an environment that nourishes wairua or that reflects the attributes of rangatira.β
Very relieved that Tamihere is not going to try and contest this decision. The judge is very clear that it was a travesty of justice. Let the healing begin #nzpol
