When you see the right whingers going "how are the Greens giving 2.4 billion to marae? what a waste!"

You can point out: 💚
-Over 800 marae across the country (could even say 3 million each)
-Track record of helping EVERYONE in crisis, plus holding the culture that makes Aotearoa unique.
-They're non-political, decentralised, trusted and already present in isolated communities where the state struggles to reach, even without floods, landslides or broken roads.
-It's 2.4 total, 1.2 billion a year.
-This is climate crisis resilience, ring-fenced from govts that may loot the Climate fund (as the CoC have)
-2.6 billion were spent on Amerikkkan military helicopters with a lot less pushback.
-2.9 billion yearly on landlords who help absolutely no one.
-6 Billion climate resilience fund scrapped on their first year. (hence ringfencing this policy out of their greedy hands)
-Between 44 and 54 Billion on the Roads of National Significance, with abysmal business cases for them, increasing emissions and not counting the cost of rebuilding the ones that are continuing to be damaged by flooding and landslides (because of climate change).

This is badass policy.
Proud of the Greens putting their commitment to Te Tiriti beyond words and tokenism, into concrete action.

Marae are critical infrastructure for Aotearoa.
They're the first line of response to emergencies. They embody solidarity and resilience.

We need to start backing them for all they do. 💚 💪 :tinoflag:

Luxon wasn't the CEO of Unilever. He was their US sales manager. His job was to sell Lynx (Axe in the US) to a young, male audience.

I think his tenure has conclusively proved that choosing a deodorant salesman as Prime Minister was never a good idea. NZ should never make that mistake again, starting in November.

In my humble opinion, it is very unlikely Swarbrick will lose Auckland Central as this Curia poll implies, for the following reasons:

* There are lots of excited volunteers that want her to win and are ramping up her grass roots campaign.

* She has done a great job for her electorate and most people here feel proud of having her as a representative.

* Without looking it up, can you name her closest contender, the National candidate? Yeah, me neither.

Something like:

Greens: Let's pause and check there's water and no crocodiles in the pool before we dive in.

Luxon: That's alarmist.

@quoll Physics and the size of those radomes.

Thesis: Pine Gap is a collection of antisat weapons.

Assuming Pine Gap is interested in satellites, not in faint astronomical sources, the large (approx 30m) diameter dishes in this image have, I think, only two possible purposes:
1. they are listening for side-lobe whispers from satellite-to-satellite, or from satellite-to-ground.
2. the contain offensive (tightly directed megawatt radio frequency energy) transmitters.

I am not a physicist, but I think 1. is unlikely, because satellites are small, they are 5m across rather than 30m, and their side-lobes are probably quite loud. It is difficult to fit a high-gain, very directional antenna inside a fairing on a rocket. Listening to them requires good low noise amplifiers and fine tuning, not large dishes. You'd be better off spending vast money on amplifiers and decryption. Contrary to the evidence in this image, you very much want to hide the size of the spy dishes if you can, to make them not noticable, increasing the chances of listening-in undetected for the later, messier stages of armageddon.

As a satellite maker, if you wanted to avoid listening, you'd build your satellites to use extremely high (light-like) frequencies to transmit data. Mirrors and lenses rather than dishes. Small and tight. I presume that all military satellites use laser data transmission.

What we see are: many, large dishes - an obvious target that will certainly be destroyed minutes into a world war.

Because of these dishes size, and mass, turning them would be rather slow - seconds rather than the nanoseconds a phased array can manage. So these are gently retargettable units, designed to dwell for seconds or minutes on target satellites.

Which means that their usefulness is either; in peacetime, or within a few minutes of war starting. My money is on 2. Pine Gap is antisat weapons.

Would be nice if we were told, but we will not be told because our contribution is, quite literally - dirt.

Also, see how the capitalists, bosses, Nats and Act are terrified of a unionised working force?

See how they squirm at the mere thought of workers having organised power?

We should 100% do it. 💚

#NZPol #voteGreen #UnionStrong

Hell yeah.

Of course I'm biased: recently my union helped me negotiate for nearly 10k/year before taxes over the original employment offer.
The $25 ish nzd monthly fee more than justifies that alone.

Join your union, and party vote green. 💚
