Gov is about choices

This gov chooses landlords and wealthy over all NZ

Chooses lower pay, worse healthcare, less resilience, more dependence on foreign energy, fewer rights for you

They choose not to feed kids, families are starving

This year we need to choose a different government

Maybe if 72,700 (mostly young) New Zealanders hadn't been forced to move to Australia our economic strategy wouldn't need to completely rely on *checks notes* tourism from Australia. 🤦

Just days ago, a fast-track panel declined a bid for sea bed mining- siting low economic return and high environmental cost. The panel did its job. It judged in the interests of Kiwis.
There's no place for corruption in New Zealand. Stand against it. Vote Opportunity to get a better kingmaker.

Whether its a tax or a levy it is rolling the turd in glitter

Also, its $2.7 Billion, and its methane, LNG is just its stage name

Tax or levy? A very simple guide to a very dumb political argument
The Government says it’s a levy. Labour says it’s a tax. But really, is there any difference?

And I'll say it again, LNG is methane, just so we're all clear

#nzpol
Sigh yet another article focussed on the "debate" about tax vs levy and "politics"

Newsroom usually do better that this fluff

The real debate is about burning imported fossil fuels vs renewables generated in NZ

And of course climate change

Tarawera: Lake Tarawera, meaning 'Burnt Spear' is one of the largest lakes in New Zealand. The lake was home to many small Maori villages and mission settlements.

I learned tonight that LNG is, wait for it

Methane

So we'll be paying an emissions tax, oh no sorry a levy, on our renewable electricity, while our methane emitters pay, nothing

What a catastrophically stupid timeline
