On a serious note, I was shocked at the state of NZ... and I realise this only scratches the surface. We hope this at least helps feels Kiwis feel seen 👀💗 (And if you liked it let us know, we might make a follow up ahead of your 2026 election)

They should just make him a special, new prize and only give it to huge assholes every year from now on so it’s clear it’s the Nobel Asshole Prize.

Are we going to ask Winston Peters to comment? Are we going to get him to denounce this? Will he call off his attack dogs?
