I love that we, here in AoNZ, have a very chill government. So chill that they do not care at all. 😊
Thanks for those who voted for these wonderful numpties. Well done!

This government is creating unnecessary damage, hurt, marginalisatiion and loss and the entire nation will be the poorer for it if it succeeds.

I remember Luxon promised during campaign period in previous election that there will be more EV chargers. Ofc I did not believe him. But now they're doing it... and we know exactly why because of fuel prices. Except... it's not helping people who use fuel?

Bunch of idiots this lot.

And now the truth about Govt imposed rates-caps on local-bodies. —Rates-caps will almost certainly guarantee significantly increased rents for pensioners etc in social housing in many areas; as people who need social housing are mostly vulnerable people with little or no other options, hence are a soft target for councils to gouge with little blowback.
Indeed, imposed rates-caps are INTENDED to do exactly this - they are designed to force local-bodies to sell off your public assets and services, and become increasingly payer-uses. They are ACT Party ideology being undemocratically forced on us at local level.
If the proposed rates-caps go ahead, let's hope the general public step up and defend vulnerable people so they're not such a soft target for right-leaning councils. Even better, let's make this a #OneTermGovernment

Local government minister Simon Watts can't guarantee rates cap won't increase social housing rents

Simon Watts said the final rates cap policy is still being designed, but didn't anticipate it would cause higher costs for those living in roughly 10,000 council-owned rental homes.

"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.

~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:

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
