Definitely don’t pull a “Sammy”

Wishing luck to someone about to go “on stage” is considered bad luck, so instead “break a leg” or “knock ‘em dead” are common.

Break a leg!

Shades of RFK Junior 🤦🏼‍♂️

“9 out of 10 people in our focus group said they were fine swimming in shit as long as their rates didn’t rise”

Which suit will he be wearing: the cream, the bone, the ivory, the white, the off white, or the beige?

That GenX urge to Pass di Dutchie ’pon di left hand side

Oh I know, it's minuscule and I'm very glad of it.

Hate sells, and his gullible band of idiots are buying.

Yes- we need to give #NZ #Greens our party #vote this election so they can action their brilliant #GreenBudget & #wealth #tax. Free GPs & Dentists & childcare. Less tax for most NZers, & the wealth tax is very similar to Australia’s! #nzpol

So for a bit more than a years PROFITS they could buy themselves FOUR lng terminals 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Jumped up little shit. But he probably deserves it.

The only people we can expect action on the Epstein files from, are those not implicated in them.

NZ has normalised inequality. As the cost of living rises, Govt has to expand into every corner of life so people don't starve and end up homeless.
We need to reduce inequality and rampant rentierism so that people and communities have the resources they need to look after themselves.

How does this basic mathematical reality escape so many voters.

The thing about acting locally is, it MUST happen. Do policy sceptics think that national action, international action, won’t also HAVE to include local action? Regional, national, international politicians might not be the ones to start it. So we all must start it. Now.

35cm of snow forecast above 2300m on Mt Ruapehu tomorrow — 15 Feb. Summer. Someone died today in floods in Otorohanga.

How long before everyday people start putting the pieces together and understanding that We. Must. Act. Now.

And vote for governments who will act NOW. We can’t wait any longer.

Same. I also hate the false equivalence of terrible ideas and good ideas, as if all ideas have equal merit, being used to justify canning good ideas — tit for tat.
The ferries, vs the LNG plant would be a good corollary. One absolutely required, one objectively batshit.

I’ll never not be thoroughly shamed by the All Blacks wearing that logo.

💯

Ah yes. Absolutely!

I mean, they kind of do, just that it results in massive economic contraction.

Given what their fiscal policy (slash and burn) has done alongside the monetary policy, glass fucking houses 🤬

She must be packing her bags already. How many more will this clown show send to the departure lounge before their term is over.

Government tweaks law so contractors can't challenge employment status retrospectively The workplace minister says it has nothing to do with the Supreme Court's Uber decision.

Cruella van Velden fucks with worker’s rights still more.
Remember always, if you’re a worker she hates your guts.

I’d be surprised if they weren’t focused on the massive (and in my opinion horrendous overreaction) OCR hikes that wiped out the foundations of our economy for this current useless lot to then go in for the kill.

I figured by “covid era” they mean “when the other lot were in charge” 🤷🏼‍♂️

They’re clearly undermining the Reserve Bank’s credibility for the forecast interest rate increases leading up to the election.

The Reserve Bank declared they would increase unemployment and successfully did so — it hasn’t yet recovered. Shouldn’t a Friedmanesque review be glowing?

Well they didn’t respond with any fiscal policy to balance out those measures.
