Also “manipulative” guy can’t open his mouth without denigrating lots of people. Those poor workers being tricked by their unions 🙄

“…I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients, or kids in education and parents being mucked around,"

No Christopher Luxon, people are getting sick of YOU prioritising your fiscal policies on your already wealthy mates, rather than on healthcare and education.

If you’re on the side of scotus at this moment in time, you’re on the wrong side.

I made a video on exactly how the opposition can win, based on strategies from Labour's own 2017 messaging strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio that helped Jacinda win in under 6 weeks. If she doesn't know how to win an election no one does. youtu.be/4UHUg7u8Dtg?...

She holds us all in contempt. We "can't afford" the health spending we desperately need because her budget went on tax cuts she was repeatedly told were unaffordable.

So the truth to her equation is, the sale of arguably our most critical state funded asset should be used to pay for her tax cuts.

Yes! It’s the fact that they torched all the things in the name of the economy and guess what — it’s still fucked. We need to laugh these assholes out of town.

They’ve let many businesses fold because of privatised power, many jobs lost and many small towns losing their major employer. This would be no different. Assholes.

Telecom, prisons…
3 or 4 people got unbelievably rich from the sale of Telecom. Received knighthoods. Lauded as exemplary business successes.

We. Value. The. Wrong. Things.

We fucking paid for that fibre. Its value to us is IMMEASURABLE. Far beyond what they could ever sell it for. It’s crucial national strategic infrastructure. It should NEVER EVER EVER be privatised.

I don’t think you have anything to apologise for. Soap boxes are equal opportunity standing on things. Shout it out!

Honestly, I think that if there was a concerted effort to inform the public that all our economy consists of is us selling our houses to each other for ever increasing amounts of Australian Bank profits, we might actually be able to achieve some kind of political revolution ✊🏻

I just can’t look too closely at polls, they’re infuriating even when there seems to be some good news 😑

Right, so just has to sit out a standard 6 months. It’s really not very unusual.

Approaching everything with maximum hypocrisy. Just flooding the zone with bullshit so voters can “argue both sides.”

Yeah the fact there isn’t any market competition for the RBG role makes it a little strange. He will have had non-disclosure agreements up the wazoo though, pretty typical.

Isn’t it simply “gardening leave”? Doesn’t seem super fishy to me, it’s what any senior exec would get after getting hounded out, basically paid to not work anywhere else for 6 months. The amount is large but would be commensurate with his rem package.
