Lower goal setters #cartoon #nzpol #FarmersWeeklyNZ
Cartoon depicts two male farm workers inside a vehicle. A cloud of green coloured gas is emits from a driver's backside with a "PRRRRP!" sound effect. The passenger is exiting the vehicle at speed holding his nose & gasping for fresh air. Headline: 'METHANE TARGET LOWERED - NEWS' Driver: "SORRY, BUT IT'S ONLY SHORT-LIVED." Passenger: "AT THIS RATE SO AM I." Refers to a lowering of New Zealand’s emissions targets by government including a reset of the methane targets to 14-24% below 2017 levels by 2050, promising there would be no tax on methane emissions.

Lol. The worst bloke at his job in NZ has the cheek to criticise the ethical meticulous work of people ensuring our votes are accurately counted that he probably underfunds. Do it fast and rubbish says Luxon, thats how we pass laws. #nzpol
Christopher Luxon calls vote counters the 'slowest folk on the planet'
The prime minister says he expects the Electoral Commission to speed up the official vote count after an election.

Fast Track backwards #nzpol #cartoon #repost
Cartoon depicts an dilapidated steam train reversing at high speed along washed out rail track and falling into empty space. Riding a coal cart is Shane Jones (NZFirst) waving a lump of coal - Dr Strangelove Slim Pickens style - shouting "Black is the new green!" David Seymour (ACT) waves a lantern towards the abyss. Chris Luxon (National) "You're right, backwards is way faster" Nicola Willis (National) looks towards a carriage ( labelled 'Polluters". ) of rich villiains. A sign bedside the rails reads 'Fast Track' points in the opposite direction.
