Perhaps the Treasury has foreknowledge of his imminent demise.

The small rural states seem to have too much power for a functioning democracy.

Yeh - that's not going to work is it.

The generals don't look keen though.

Beyond bizarre! I would have thought rule 1 was don’t put all your leaders in one place. Imagine if some nutter hijacked a 777 and flew through the front door.

But is the short bald potato worthy of it? Now the incubus from Epsom - that is another story.

Immigrants are the new oil. Just look at the demographics.

Hate is a very strong emotion. Don’t waste it on the failed deodorant salesman. Think happy thoughts about his certain future demise.

The Gestapo did not wear masks however I doubt lawsuits were popular in the Reich.

So not just in New Zealand then.

The is an argument that as long as we import oil then we are better off if we can find it locally. #nzpol

Winston is a lot smarter and more erudite than the short bald one.

Go to Wingspan Bird of Prey Centre and get to have one of these magnificent birds on your arm.

The tax cuts were fiscal insanity.

People can remain hopeful that he will get his comeuppance one day.

Not standing shoulder to shoulder with the UK, Canada and Australia is an absolute disgrace.

He is old ( older than Trump ) and won't last much longer.

Thats a shame. Following the UK, Australia and Canada would have been the right thing to do though in order to send a message to those genocidal maniacs.

I would suggest that could lead to mislabelling in order to sell stuff at the lower tax rate. I note that India has rates of 28,18,12,5 and 0. They also charge on banking and insurance. I notice that there are different rates for restaurants with and without air-conditioning.

Tylenol the brand perhaps but the drug was first synthesised in the 19th century. Doesn’t cause autism though.

What happens when he expires? It can’t be long now.

Nobody would watch a US only TikTok. Everyone would just VPN to the real one.

And now you just need New Zealand style proportional representation. MMP works.

I had never heard of him. Everything I have heard since is bad.

22.09.2025 18:10 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

So US TikTok and TikTok everywhere else will be different apps. Yeh that's going to fly.

Somehow that monster Peter Thiel managed to buy New Zealand citizenship. Various billionaires have NZ as a legal bolthole in the event that the shit hits the fan.
