It also should be said this was happening for a long time, even before COVID cooked people's brains. I recall James Shaw getting punched on the streets in Wellington, a story that (understandably) faded since it happened in early March 2019.

Call me crazy, but giving a normally very unengaged group of voters an express personal benefit to getting rid of you from government when polls are neck and neck, just to give your loyal voters a reason to wank off is a... poor electoral play.

I've seen some moments that have proven to me it isn't as much his ideas, but just not playing the game well. Afraid of being a genuine left wing force.

The part that basically dismisses the risk of loose masonry really fucking pisses me off. The amount of people who died here in 2011 from masonry falling onto them and the amount that could have if not for 2010. Every policy has risk vs reward but it cannot be done if reality is ignored

He's poisoning the well, making it easier to de-legitimise a close loss.

I already had reached a limit for myself, some really weird vibes. Most people are cool but a few just go into strange unhelpful spaces.

Checked the NZ news tab and it was the second article. Seems Stuff were just using the article RNZ had done which is on the main page there, honestly it's a good article.

If it makes you feel a bit more hopeful, Hipkins yesterday called austerity economic lunacy that has failed NZ for the last 40 years.

Fuck me yes thank you. For some reason we're going at Hipkins for media misrepresentating his words. He could have worded it better but how the fuck are you not going to have moments like this when media will take 2 seconds of a 13 minute video and spin it.
