Rather than this #NZPol coalition govt blaming the last Labour govt for the failing NZ economy and austerity they've chosen to impose on NZers doing it tough, Ginny Anderson counters those claims with actual statistics that contradict any argument being made by Nicola Willis and this government to justify the war they are waging on the people of #Aotearoa #NewZealand to support the growing wealth inequality which is a direct result of neoliberal economics.

I just had a client contact me asking if I could urgently setup a promotional document they had designed using Ai. They also informed me they had no budget left so could I do it cheap.

They sent me a pdf of document plus link to html of Ai design they had created.

The pdf file had half the content missing and had changed all the formatting and fonts.

I explained that this was a mess and it was easier for me to recreate the entire document, I told them I would do it cheaply to help them out but said I hope they would stop using #Ai and supported designers who know what they’re doing.

Meanwhile this clueless and incompetent #NZPol government is expecting Ai to replace most of the #NZ civil service.

The truth is this #NZPol government knows we don't need gas for electricity generation but are using that excuse as justification for restarting fossil fuel exploration (despite a substantial NZ gas field not being discovered since Maui in 1969) and building a hugely uneconomic LNG terminal to process expensive imported LNG at taxpayers expense to supply NZ industries such as Fonterra etc with the gas they need.

This coalition of corruption needs to be booted out on 7 November 2026. #DitchThePricksIn26
