High unemployment and a cost of living crisis and increased transport costs and an ongoing housing shortage in parts of the sector and climate disasters and increased social division - this cluster requires leadership to navigate a way through.

pretty wild that there's been a massive pro-genocide violent crackdown by the government & police on free speech & protest rights in Aus & there's been barely, if ANY, coverage of it by mainstream NZ outlets
only stories I've seen have been ABC syndicated (immensely problematic) & ineffective
why?

Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

It’s about bloody time.
Spending like no tomorrow with lavish office space & exorbitant spending on “morning teas”.
I recall a remark “must be some expensive scones” when questioning the amount spent.
The power went to somebody’s head clearly!!

Bit late to it but if you want to know the chain of events that led to us importing gas (and charging electricity users to pay for it!!), I did this deep dive for RNZ last year www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
The fuel of ‘last resort’: How imported gas became New Zealand’s first choice
It's expensive, vulnerable to price shocks and terrible for the planet. So why are we importing gas?

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.

The Minister is not known for being the brightest bulb on the NZ electricity network
So no counter-factual using "let's build more storage to cover the dry season issues"? Is that right?
Why the new LNG terminal could raise, not lower, your power bill
Analysis: Energy Minister Simon Watts is confident importing gas will lower power prices, but questions remain about the scheme and its costs.
