Lol. More right wing counting. Talking about a government that should be in a honeymoon period as if they’re at the end of 3 terms. Typical Cooke. Avoid the real issues. It’s all the petrol price and nothing to do with the incompetency, how obviously they’...
Luxon missed an incompetent minister. A mirror would help him find the worst performed. Poorly prepared, doesn’t listen, doesn’t have a broad frame of reference to make decisions from. Surrounded by opportunists and international con men and women whom he ...

‘I know what I wrote and said.’ Well two readers have told you something different and you’ve acted with more arrogance than a current cabinet minister. I did say above it is up to you to explain better. Which you haven’t at all. Meaning happens when ...
Cowards. What are you hiding from? https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350256165/waitangi-tribunal-summons-childrens-minister-overturned-high-court ‘The mana of the tribunal is not diminished.’ Except it’s not allowed to call ministers to account when it says...
Previously New Labour and the Alliance preserved ideas like free dentistry and free tertiary education. Kiwi bank was an Alliance led achievement. It doesn’t seem radical now. But we’ve seen a left shorn of imagination and potential solutions, but nowhere ...
Sad to see you bowing to vaccination hysteria. For years there has been compulsory vaccination in many countries to access public environments for things like polio, measles, hepatitis. We didn’t see hysteria responding to those vaccination measures. ...
The National Party and Chris Bishop have a little list and none of them’ll be missed I’m sure they won’t be missed
Recent studies have shown rules setting minimum floor space requirements and minimum balcony requirements add $50,000 to $100,000 to the cost of an apartment. That's in addition to costs associated with other rules, such as rules setting minimum ceiling ...
Complaints here about housing having minimum standards for ceilings etc as being too expensive. Will see if I can find further comments, but it was immigrants don’t need minimum standards around light, windows and other things because they’re used to not ...
So hundred year mortgages and apartments without windows on floodplains? That’d meet KPIs and with immigrants that as Bill English once said are used to cramped poorly lit homes in their country.
Bullshit beat up that owes more to fevered imagination than truth and has now seen journalists, under funded and very under appreciated, seen as legitimate targets for attack. It’s seen as fertile territory for Winnie and so we know less about what ...
I apologise! Though let us not forget that even the wombs of most tribal Labour hath brought forth sons such as Prebble and Douglas. And even Nash, Jones and Hipkins… My point being the level of income is somewhat irrelevant if such high barriers to entry ...
And they seem to have confused a fixed term employment contract with a contractor contract. I was confused about the nature of the contract. I guess we don’t know what the provisions are, but if it specified 3 years then surely unilaterally ending the ...
I call BS. You’re an ACT voter iirc? Apologies if I got that wrong. Quick google, and this is mean, not median sorry shows costs have gone up- which is a rentier wealth transfer. disposable income is lowest for Gen Z since the silent generation in the USA ...
Labour people. Can anyone explain how one party can unilaterally break a 3 year contract with no compensation? From the Spinoff: There is no redundancy pay; no compensation. I’m a contractor. I was employed on a fixed term contract for three years. It ...
The Newshub shutdown is fake panic. It’s TINA, when it’s really what the very right wing US owners wish to do, which is erode our democracy and make us more pliant. The disaster of the media and a National government of whatever kind this is is real, but ...
There’s no Fair Go in Luxon’s New Zealand.
Cuts to two child poverty reports today. That was holding the country back. Listened to a chap from CAB on the radio. No wonder they are always wanting to cut them and libraries. They give advice to under -25s and immigrants on casual work issues such as ...
Non-violent direct action is close to failing on climate change.
Agriculture is your friend. Dumped tree waste is your friend. The floods will not return. Pay no attention to those insurance companies. We don’t need scientists. We have a plan!
Luxon is doing a terrible job representing business people to New Zealand with his incredible tone deafness and unpopularity. He’s like a cartoon villain from a 1980s cartoon. Mr. Lux is helping tobacco companies get more smokers addicted. Mr. Lux is ...
Imagine you worked hard to distress disabled folk and their carers and couldn’t even get into the top 5 worst ministers in this government. https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350226548/cabinet-puts-disabilities-ministry-watch-after-families-blindsided The ...
Wait we had a bunch of the usual suspects telling us that Curia would never do a thing like that! You’d think there’d be at the minimum a perception of conflict of interest given the highly political role Mr. Farrar has had.
Trolley problem: 5 dolphins or Russell Coutts? "I find it astonishing the amount of influence iwi have over the authorities here in New Zealand," he wrote, saying that DoC would not allow SailGP racing in Lyttelton without approval from the iwi. [Coutts ...
And his response is let’s talk about maybe doing something that I ruled out a month or two back. Back the words with action, otherwise they’re wasted words, and more than likely require someone who can be credible announcing it.
I feel like inflation is screwing our exports.
Except that Anderton and Clark already had history. And Chippy is mostly a control freak leader, who’s uninterested in the policy making structure of his own party. He thinks about clinging on. I can’t see that he’s a man who would risk giving the Greens (...
It was all there when in the election campaign when they had Luxon, Goldsmith and Mitchell on a standup and though they were making a prisoner based announcement none of the knew the cost of incarcerating a prisoner for a year. But for some reason they got...

The worst government of the last 4 decades combining the casualness of the Lange years and with the narrow view of the Muldoon years. Here from Bernard Hickey explaining the parts of the difference between Richardson’s real crisis and Willis and Luxon’s ...
