It’s been said to them time and again that jobseeker includes disabled people. It was discussed numerous times during the election. They clearly just don’t care.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

I think so. The funniest thing would be for someone in the debates to challenge him to forgoe a Knighthood and prove he was really in it to do good like MLK etc. Watch him squirm

No don’t think so. it looks like they’re saying if you subtract them from the number defecting the other way (223k) you get a net number of 160k. I can’t imagine anyone but an ACT voter being more motivated to vote for the coalition because of this. Just makes no sense

I remember a few years ago when Labour was in govt and Nurses were threatening industrial action, a lot of right wing people i know and are connected with on Facebook had ‘i stand with Nurses’ images on their profiles. They seem to be completely quiet on the issue this time. Weird.

It doesn’t make any sense if you are a left wing voter why would removing fair pay agreements make you change your vote to the govt?

Cam Bennett @cambennett.bsky.social · 20h

Incredibly confusing article. This appears to be saying there are a lot of Labour, Greens & TPM voters who would now vote for the coalition because they scrapped fair pay. How is that even possible?

Treasury: "Because of this, it is hard to reconcile (from a purely logical perspective) how building a new medical school is going to be better than any non-build option, if we aren’t facing a capacity constraint."

If it’s ok to throw a brick through Peters widow then we’re saying it’s ok for RW idiots to throw one through Chloe Swarbrick’s window. Got to condemn all this shit or none of it. No equivocation, no rationalisation. Don’t go to politician’s houses and don’t do this shit it’s wrong full stop.

Smashing MPs windows is a dick move, some of the glass got on Kobe the dog and that is unforgiveable! Throw mud, throw Lamingtons, throw dildos but don't throw rocks. Also personally think stalking their house is a step too far, their office is personal enough #NZPol

It's a tough choice for a young person in NZ, either Kumara picking for a pittance in the middle of nowhere or a decent wage in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. What to do..?
