Nicola Willis. Chlöe Swarbrick. Matthew Hooton. John Tamihere. Jordan Williams. Max Harris. One show. One economy. Absolute carnage.

NZ is so laid back we may sleepwalk through a fuel crisis, an LNG gamble, and an economic shock — all while being told not to panic.

The economy is buckling, social cohesion is fraying, and the fantasy of running New Zealand like a company is collapsing.

Inflation fears are rising, economists are backtracking, and Moody’s has put New Zealand’s economy on notice.

Christopher Luxon has turned a caucus management issue into a full-blown political catastrophe. MPs are leaking, ministers look rattled, Winston is circling and voters are watching a government visibly losing control of itself in real time.

The warning signs are flashing — collapsing confidence, rising costs, and a government with no plan. This isn’t stabilising. It’s building.
The Government says LNG must “stack up” — but won’t show the maths. Meanwhile, cheaper renewable options are sitting right there.

Trump’s war on Iran is colliding with New Zealand’s diesel vulnerability — and Shane Jones’ Marsden Point gamble suddenly looks catastrophic.

As the Iran war escalates, the Government’s silence is raising serious questions about leadership, accountability, and whose side New Zealand is really on.
