So when this muppet is voted out next year, he'll blame voters?

Thats the takeaway i get from his union-bashing cr@p...

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon blames unions for ongoing strike action
"I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients," the Prime Minister says.

Targetting is often complex,riddled with bureacracy,doesnt deliver to those in need,and has perverse outcomes.

Far better for Universality,with clawbacks at the other end by raising taxes for the rich.

Easier, cheaper,less contradictory and requires very little -if any- extra bureaucracy.

Sorted.

Of course it was. He's a RW moron.

Shame of Stuff for publishing his trolling. 66, 000+ have paid dearly for his loathsome writing.

Stuff - you are responsible for this.

I'm kind of at a loss for words. NZ's Stuff published a genocide denial piece on Gaza under the guise of an attack on Chloe Swarbrick. It's both intimate in its attacks and horrifying for what it represents...

#nzpol #stuff #gaza #auspol
Even on the UN definition, intention matters so the case becomes untenable in my opinion, but that isn’t important. Most of us don’t study the United Nations manual on crimes against humanity. We understand that genocide entails rounding up families, herding them into cattle carts before cramming them into a fake shower. We imagine mothers hugging their children as they choke to death on poison gas. On an industrial scale. One word. Two very different meanings. The Auckland Central MP’s choice of language warrants comment. Because she does understand the distinction. She is aware that, whatever Israel’s intent, there can be no comparison to what happened in Rwanda, Cambodia or Treblinka.

Please explain to me, @senatorwong.bsky.social, exactly how a GENOCIDE committed with impunity by Israel with mostly weapons and bombs and other artillery provided by the USA "has been the greatest contribution to peace in the Middle East."

I'll fucking wait. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

Storm winds in the Wairarapa blew over this massive tree in Martinborough town centre...

...and of course,they had to cone off the thing.

Road cones. God knows why.

Sad to see such a majestic giant fall.🙁

Tye upshot of all this?

Very simple.

As usual, New Zealanders want/demand amenities and infrastructure - but dont want to pay for it.

The Right know this, and exploit it.
