The race is on for someone in the #nzpol left (Greens or Labour?) to announce a “solar levy” of $8.50 a year to provide the exact same outcome to kiwis as the $30 gas tax the govt is creating.
I know which I’d vote for.
Make the election a referendum on renewable energy.
You’d smash the govt.

ACT leader David Seymour delivers 'State of the Nation' speech
In Christchurch, the ACT leader pushed for a smaller state, rejected Treaty "division" and vowed to keep Labour, Greens and Te Pāti Māori from power.

Covid Seymour gives a "State Of The Nation" speech about the challenges facing Aotearoa. The government he is part of that has caused vast amounts of unemployment doesn't get a mention in the "What Must Be Done" section He does not mention climate at all in the report I read of it.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

About 45% of gas produced in this country goes to Methanex, the Canadian multinational. Fonterra is another significant gas user. Just in case you are wondering who stands to benefit most from the planned LNG plant which is to be paid for by me, thee and every other individual user of power.
