NZ Govt wants to abolish Te Mana o te Wai. TMotW means when councils make water allocation decisions they must put health of freshwater ecosystems first, human health second, and commercial use third. This Govt wants agribusiness irrigation to trump human and ecosystem health.
Nicola Willis says the public service cuts are actually "job neutral" because the upcoming Budget will create more front-line roles than have been lost. What an incredible, disingenuous take... 🧵(1/6)
The guy who wants to spend billions on a road tunnel to get him from the Beehive to the airport faster, is one of the three ministers who will have Ministerial decree powers over every project in the proposed Fast Track process. This is banana republic stuff.
If you think the energy transition is going well, look at this: Not only is clean energy barely even visible on a graph of energy use globally, But oil and gas is still growing. What’s going on here? (🧵)
While everyone is focusing understandably on the middle east, a reminder that this catastrophe is really happening, already begun, no ifs and buts, our ability to live on Earth is in doubt. Madmen are running this world. Time for everyone to educate themselves and engage…

This is terrifying. Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story. What's terrifying is that this headline is not #trending on every social media platform. 1/4
March 18: PM won't commit to delivering the same level of tax cuts at the Budget as in National's tax plan March 19: Willis promises tax cuts will be the same level as National campaigned on March 27: Willis no longer committing to same level of tax cuts What is happening?
National expected to have $115 million leftover from its tax package but updated costings and policy changes mean it now faces a $1.5 billion hole. newsroom.co.nz/2024/03/19/gov…
We already invest less in public & private R&D than most other OECD countries, relative to GDP. It’s one of the reasons why our wage deficit with Australia is 30% & widening. So why would you do this? Other than to pay for tax cuts. rnz.co.nz/national/progr… rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
@TofuratiTomGood @BritWeatherSvs @Matthew_Wright @TomSwarbrick1 @mrjamesob @SangitaMyska @carolvorders This is major - the director of NASAs Goddard Institute for Space Studies going public with what many of us have been trying to get the media to report for the best part of a year: "If the anomaly does not stabilize by August ... then the world will be in uncharted territory.…
Michael Wood in 2022: "Australia has had a sector-based bargaining system in place for over 40 years, contributing to higher wages and an economy where average productivity growth has been 46% higher than NZ since 1991 when we abolished sector-based bargaining."

This gorgeous new BBC chart shows how the coldest days on Earth now are warmer than the hottest days before the 1980s. You know who predicted this would happen with near-perfect precision? Exxon Mobil scientists, in an internal report in 1982. Two versions of the same chart:
Breaking News! Code UFB!!! With about six weeks of seasonal warming ahead, global sea surface temperatures are spiking. Yesterday's temperature of 21.10°C just tied the all-time record high sea surface temperature reached August 21-23, 2023.

New: The courts are included in the Government's proposed budget cuts, raising further constitutional red flags. There's also already a backlog of more than 10,000 criminal cases - the judiciary isn't well-placed to absorb spending cuts. newsroom.co.nz/2024/01/29/jud…

This New World campaign really pisses me off. The business can afford to give all this away and more with the crazy profits they make, and not even notice it.
@MusicalChairs14 Perhaps historians will view the GFC as the phase change moment between late-stage capitalism and neo-feudalism, best illustrated in the productivity data
@marcdaalder The national govt is physically isolated from the populous. It is largely captured by lobbyists. Local govt is kept powerless and dysfunctional by design. Maybe we need provincial autonomy. Strong regions that can govern themselves and build their own future.
