@SlaneCartoons Frightening when you consider the estimated cost of Cyclone Gabrielle’s damage to the country in just one day is about the same cost as National’s fantasy tax bribe over 4 years. #NZTwits need to seriously consider the very real dangers of electing climate change deniers to government. #NZPol#NZVotes23#ClimateEmergency
Drove past one of the anti cogovernance signs this afternoon and it said “the protesters are peaceful. Yeah right” in the style of a Tui billboard and is that a threat?

The thing #NZTwits need to understand is having Māori representation on boards protecting water quality and usage is in every #NewZealand ers best interest and honors te tiriti. The US far right group, the Atlas Network, that TPU and NZ Initiative are both members of are being financed and resourced to turn NZers against each other. Te tiriti o Waitangi is the biggest obstacle to a globalist take over of NZ resources. #NZPol#NZVotes23
#Ao/NZ peeps! A request on behalf of the ~4000 people who will be working on the election, and need to steer clear of any political discussions: please remember to CW and/or tag your political posts with either #nzpol or #NZVotes23 so that we can mute them accordingly.
Please bear in mind that words like "national", "labour", "green" and "act" have definitions and contexts other than politics, and tag your posts properly. Cheers!
