Lessons for NZ - apparently datacentres in Ireland draw =23% of the country's power and household power bills have gone up 600 Euros in the last year as a result. Use urged from 5% of national electricity demand in 2015 to 23% in 2025. Forecast to exceed 30%

if you're ruling out TOP but NOT NZF in a climate where the latter party routinely attacks you and pushes FAR more extreme bigotry and fascist rhetoric then ... well you're overtly fascist accelerationists at that stage

First complete national picture of our water networks is out. 11,535 wastewater overflows last year. 31 a day. A fifth of treatment plants running on expired consents. Moa Point was never a Wellington problem. This is what forty years of deferred maintenance looks like when the bill lands. #nzpol

I think this is fucking awful and terrifying and outrageous and should cause an international incident. Also I think that stop going to America if you’re not American. My mother has been begging me. It’s been over 5 years. She hasn’t met my son. I refuse to go. I’m not going there. Stop going there.

He was here on VACATION. He is not a criminal. He wasn't here trying to steal anything. And he was still targeted by ICE. His name was Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran.

New Zealand's real wage growth over the past 5 years: -6.4%. Worst in the OECD. Growth just barely positive (Mar 2026 quarter), June expected to slip back. Inflation still at 3.9% peak. RBNZ raising the OCR to 2.5%. The coalition inherited this and hasn't turned it. Wages tell the story. #nzpol

We are absolutely at the point where supporting any of the coalition parties should be considered anti-AoNZ. "Oh, but race shouldn't be a part of medical need" STFU unless you want no more kākāpō.

CuriousCat@felissapien.bsky.social · last mo.

The work we did with kākāpō is now not possible because the govt has said that our funding should go to science that makes money. Members of our current govt have said that if an endangered species is in the way of a mine or a new road then it’s goodbye #nzpol peterkdearden.substack.com/p/on-kakapo

"A vote for NZ First is not merely a choice for a domestic political party; it is a direct, deliberate vote to import the most divisive, anti-Indigenous tactics of American Trumpism into the heart of New Zealand politics."

The "immigrant flood" is a myth. It is a narrative manufactured by fear-mongers and politicians looking to exploit anxieties and score cheap points.
