Imagine getting your country through a pandemic with one of the lowest mortality rates while mitigating economic impacts and then having everyone paint you as economic vandals when the truth is actually the opposite

Brought to you by the govt that's stopped people slowing down past schools so they can get to a meeting 30 seconds faster #productivitymyarse

You could believe that Old Mate Grabaseat will survive this but you would also have to believe what they're telling us about ferries

If this Prime Ministership was an Air NZ route he would have already scrapped it

vladimir putin, in profile against a blue background, smirking a little. he's shaking hands with donald trump, who's facing the camera, slouching, hunched a little, looking to his side with his mouth sort of screwed ruefully into one corner. he's the damp, fallen, swollen-faced expression of someone you'd assume was shitfaced

Party that was implacably opposed to wasting three quarters of a billion on a bridge that might have got people moving in a new way in Auckland has now wasted three quarters of a billion that leaves us with absolutely nothing at all. NOTHING.

This is unforgiveable incompetence: NZ has spent $671m to get no ferries, rather than $551m to get new ferries that would be arriving within months to replace clapped-out ferries. This sort of mismanagement should bring down a government; amazingly, it's not even the worst example of their failings

rnz’s strategy under thompson has essentially been to make the people who actually listen to the station hate it in order to attract an audience that will never listen to it. genius lol

Got started on moving to Ghost last year but life got in the way. On top of that, it's not just a flick of a switch if you want a full clean move, so I also got diverted into resuming my own server. And then I marooned myself on indecision. What I'll probably do is move to Ghost anyway for now.

Lies. Fuck ups. Graft. Shonky laws. Yawning holes in delivery. 2 tails wagging the dog.
So much material with which to critique this Government.
But here we are.

Everyone piling on JA for not submitting to the cookers.

Can someone in the media say something about the fact the ministers are just lying about the salaries of striking nurses (Luxon on 1ZB), striking doctors (Simeon Brown RNZ) and now striking teachers (Erica Stanford and Judith Collins). Lying to the public about this is playing politics #NZPol
