Great korero from #NZGreen MP Tamatha Paul in the House describing the pathetic RW snowflakes demanding the bastard language of #English be made an official language of #Aotearoa #NewZealand under urgency replacing a bill that will speed up building consents being heard.

CW: #AusPol tax Climate Catastrophe
When people talk about fuel prices and about Fuel Tax Credits, they are talking about lowering tax for mining companies, (and of those, coal mining is a significant part).
Of all credits, mining receives 45% of the benefit, agriculture only 12%.
These tax breaks fund the climate catastrophe, and were instituted by The Nationals, who represent miners, not farmers. The ALP is too scared to tackle them.

The Green Party of Aotearoa's manifesto 2026 is out in the world now, in case you are into that sort of thing.

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.
Greens push to pause big data centre consents, PM calls it '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.
Usual promo:

Not gonna lie: I am quite excited about this policy announcement too.
Power for all of us. 💚 ⚡ ☀️

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. 💚

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. 💚

Zack Polanski gets to the core of what ordinary people in Clacton think about Nigel Farage by utilising a much underused tactic that is, unfortunately, rarely seen in Westminster: the truth.

Drink. Swim. Fish.
Sounds like a good weekend in the Coromandel, but it's the latest Green Party policy to look after all the water in the country.
Because water is life, for all of us.

Spoke to a potential voter on the phone last week.
"Chlöe Swarbrick needs to wake up!" - they said.
"Chlöe is not woke enough for some" - I noted in the file.

Want to help change this awful government?
You can volunteer with Te Pāti Kākāriki o Aotearoa! (Aka the Green Party 💚)
There are events happening almost every single day until the election (November 7, don't forget to register!) all over the motu.
So many ways to get involved!
Go click the link, have a look, join one or two or more events, bring a friend and help us build the movement that will make an Aotearoa for all of us.

🧵 1/2
I don't doubt your commitment but I still don't see the point.
TOP seem to be pitching themselves to people who like *the idea* of being green, but who think Green policies of saving the earth and taxing the super-rich go too far.
Sure, TOP don't share ACT's worst policies. But why vote for green diluted with centrism -- a neutered version of the Greens, if you will -- when you can vote for the real thing? What's so scary about the Greens?
Remember when National set up the cyanobacteria (Green / Blue) party under Vernon someone, hoping to pull votes from the Greens? That party crashed and burned quickly because Green policy is diametrically opposed to National's.
It troubles me that a bunch of novices with good intentions and zero political experience are selling themselves as kingmakers. 'We're neither left nor right' implies opportunistic fence-sitting.
'Green, but with a tinge of blue' is not what the planet needs nowadays.
Tax the super-wealthy, start taking the climate crisis seriously... vote Green.
