"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make." -- Lord Farquaad
Whenever something bad happens under this current government, this quote pops up in my head.

Another day, another example of the climate denying #FossilFools making the wrong choices for our collective future.
Dependence on fossil fuels, is dependence on warmongers like Trump, Putin or the Saudis.
Independence, cost-effectiveness, freedom and resilience all are more likely with renewables.
Or, yet another example of the tail wagging the dog of the weakest National government we have seen.
Shane Jones shut down NZ involvement in 'road map' away from fossil fuels

~Restricting access to voting
~Removing a whole layer of
democracy at local gvt level
~Fast tracking infrastructure
legislation.
The most regressive anti-democratic gvt in the country's history. That's why in 2026 we have to vote them out. #onetermgovernment
The old National Party death spiral:
Cut spending->Crash the economy->Cut taxes->Increase budget deficit->Repeat

No matter what issue, this government don’t listen to anyone but themselves. No wonder they’re so out of touch.

For the absolute gutless, corrupt and criminal damage they have intentionally done to this country’s people and environment, every current #NZPol government MP needs to be thrown out of parliament at the next election.
Never forgive, never forget. #OneTermGovernment
2029 for the new ferries according to Winston Peters. 2029!!!!! 2029!!!!!
WHEN WE COULD HAVE HAD ONE THIS YEAR AND ONE NEXT YEAR!
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
To those who will be at the protests today, please take care... especially people in South Island + Wellington.
In spirit of the protest, I decided to wear my Whaka Round Find Out (BHN)shirt.

Had the pleasure of watching this, #NZPol moment in the House, live online today.
"Well, I've got a message for the government.
Just because your mates think it's going well doesn't mean it is.
Ordinary New Zealander's are suffering because of their negligence, because of their division, because of their destruction.
And they're waking up to it.
This government, led by an absolute dud of a prime minister, only has months to go.
And New Zealander's cannot wait for the change.
- Kieran McAnulty - 20 August 2025
Kieran McNaulty doesn't need to lie because the truth about this dishonest #NZPol #OneTermGovernment is devastating enough.
Starting to really believe this could be a 1-term gvt.
Other than the truly rusted-ons, the uncommitted National/urban "small l" liberal voter can see how unsuccessful their policies are and the destructive direction they're trying to take the country in. #onetermgovernment #nzpol
The current conservative gvt in NZ is blatantly anti-worker, as it systematically consigns workers to a feudal master-slave workplace environment.
We've seen pay equity wilfully abandoned, work & safety protections moved from mandatory to recommended, sick leave to be cut from 10 to 5 days, wages suppressed, firing employees made easy without proper process.
This gvt has sucked out the hope and vision from this country.
Even in the toughest of times during lockdown there was still an underlying sense of hope.
It's blatantly obvious this is a gvt for a wealthy minority, the fossil fuel sector and big corporate
interests. Its motivation is greed and entrenching privilege.
But we do have the power to vote them out in around 16 months. #onetermgovernment #NZPol
Economic growth is often powered by workers spending - they don't have the luxury of hoarding like the well-off. Cutting pay equity is a gvt shooting itself in the foot to paint a better picture for bookkeeping purposes.
The lack of courage in properly taxing capital via a broad-based CGT (that would conservatively yield over $7B pa) has been rejected by the sexist men and crumb maidens of this gvt because they've calculated they can afford to neglect low paid women and women in general. Wrong. Majorly wrong. #payequity #NZPol
#onetermgovernment
Today's #payequity protest/hui at Parliament admittedly wasn't a massive turnout - maybe 1000-1500 ppl.
But the energy, spirit and determination of those who attended was superb. And we got a lot of love for our little signs.
Multiple Labour, Green and TPM MPs came out to acknowledge the protestors, with several Labour MPs coming right down into the crowd to talk with people.
This is more than a campaign, it's a movement. #NZPol
