All that work over decades…a relentless grind by health academics and professionals all to get to the point where world leading policy would be put in place to make lives and communities safer, just swept away in a tide of lies, populism, and greed. This is an absolutely pathetic excuse for a govt.

We see lies daily from PM Luxon and his cabal of tax cutting charlatans. They literally have racism and tax cuts. That’s it. To think of the damage done here is so frustrating #nzpol

God, if I were a cooker, I’d be convinced that PM Luxon sent Winston out to distract everyone from their draconian Kainga Ora changes. More scapegoating the most vulnerable. More class warfare. Gross. #nzpol

From a mate: 'He leaked early access codes in the vaccine rollout reserved for older māori because he was "concerned" about access for all, even though ACT's plans acknowledged the advice of health authorities to give early access for Māori. Almost like the prick doesn't believe what he says' #nzpol

It’s an observation that is completely non-controversial and accurate

Imagine how much hay you could stack if, instead of this garbage, car companies made utilitarian and useful single cab Utes like they did in the old days! But then you couldn’t use your Ute as a substitute for a a personality, I guess!

I love it when people praise the courage and ingenuity of Cook for bravely crossing the oceans in these old ships to find populations of people who had already done it on smaller crafts with no instruments.

I remember my wife finding out she was pregnant with our daughter in Jan 2020. Lockdowns meant they were kept safe as global death counts exploded. Ava was safely born in a public hospital in Sep 2020 - unthinkable 6 months prior. Every day I am so grateful for both of them and for those lockdowns.

Imagine the frustration of having to read out a decision that has the term ‘hotpot’ repeated that many times in it.

Three of those was enough to install Aladdin on our home PC back in 1995 - which will never cease to amaze me. That game slaps.

As of today, our death count is 5594 confirmed. I bet most people don’t have a clue it’s that high.

Fuck this guy, courting the worst of NZ. So sick of charlatans exploiting collective amnesia over how terrifying 2020 was. It’s this kind of rhetoric that started the stupidest backlash in human history. NZ was the envy of the world. Now in the list of lowest C19 deaths per capita we’re 137th #nzpol

PM Luxon says that tax relief for landlords will create ‘downward pressure’ - cagey words implying rents will go down. H/ever, he also says removing GST on produce is a waste, as retailers will absorb the difference. Then…why won’t landlords do the same? #nzpol

This is humiliating. The bit where she gets him on the hypothetical empty house and he has to concede that the landlord will either sit on the house and let it accrue value; or if they can’t afford to do that, sell it, which means that someone will have a house. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

My apologies Mr Luxon. How could I have been so silly? You won’t discount your tenants’ rentals with the removal of these provisions. You have no mortgages! So there is no effect on you!

Say…if you don’t have mortgages, then you don’t need to rent them at market value, right? #nzpol
