“What this nation needs as we build bundles of big beautiful roads is not another round of hand-wringing, airy-fairy woke utopianism. We need a sensible, boots-on-the-deck approach to securing our energy future. And yes, harvesting the noble whale for its bountiful oil is the common-sense solution.🧵

Your high power bills are a political choice.
"We’re Digging Deeper to Make Your Power Bill Steeper!" is a literal description of how the Luxon Government and the Big Four power companies are colluding to keep you paying more.

Why is Labour leading with comms about the Medicard card? It’s a distraction and too easily reframed with big brother conspiracies.
Just say
Everyone will get free doctor visits paid for by making sure those profiting from property pay their fair share.

🚨16,000 more dairy cows approved for Canterbury🚨
That's a LOT more urine leaching down into groundwater, cow shit running off into rivers and methane driving the #climatecrisis.
It means more polluted rivers and dangerous nitrate contamination of drinking water for rural families.
