Lies are going around about the Greens after Scoop published a bullshit article about Wellington Council not prioritising water management in 2021 when the facts show they invested a record $2.4b
The lies have been spreading fast. The piece was written by NZCPR i.e. the ACT Party affiliated group

Lotta fat old guys telling Olympic athletes that they should be sent home. No one is stopping you from getting off your couches and training to take their spots. Until then, enjoy watching them exercise their free speech rights. Go team USA.

The men who won’t grow up. One of the most boorish, uncivil man in politics can’t bear it when he even thinks he’s getting challenged. He’s as squeamish as Seymour about criticism, they dish it but can’t take it and may even make stuff up so they can play victim. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The only people left standing in the National Party Retail Advisory Crime Committee is Kaushal & a buddy.
The others, representing ~80% of retail crime victims, left after citing 'serious' issues with Kaushal
Most of his recommendations which Nat took have been called dangerous #nzpol

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

Unemployment hits 5.4% in the December quarter, but that doesn't include the 140,000 plus Kiwi citizens that have fled in the last 2 years.
Last year when I reported on business liquidations, it was sitting at the highest in 10 years. This week, 15 years ie. the pace & trajectory is bad #nzpol #kiwi
