Funding hole for tax cuts growing by the day Climate Commission tells Govt to cut ETS credits by 20m, which would cut $1.4b from funds for tax cuts; Adds to $2.9b missing from foreign buyers tax and $800m extra cost of deductibility

FYI, the funding hole for National-ACT-NZ First's $14.9b of tax cuts is now up to over $5b thekaka.substack.com/p/funding-ho...

This is mind-blowingly bad. Most up-to-date study on Atlantic Ocean currents system shows signals of collapse.This could happen in 2025-2095 with 95% probability. Land to grow wheat may drop by half. Winter temperatures in North Europe could drop between 10 and 30 °C. 1/

Europe needs to act now to stop Russia from meddling with the US election... Don't know how though

The irony 😭

Why almost everything we know about road safety has changed Road-safety in New Zealand is among the worst in the developed world. Is that okay?

Simon Wilson is dead right:

Study finds drivers who cycle or understand recommended cyclist road positioning are less likely to ... The research also suggests people with a "stronger tendency for expressing anger" when driving will view close pass incidents as "lower risk" and attribute more liability to cyclists involved

Screenshot of rnz news alert. Text reads "Fair Pay Agreements have been axed in parliament under urgency"

The absolute sheer audacity of government MPs saying this morning they're doing all they can to support charities like Meet the Need while simultaneously unwinding the very Fair Pay Agreements (under urgency no less!!) That prevent the need for food relief in the first place. Despicable.

🤦🤦🤦

New Zealand's history curriculum requires a section on Winston's manipulative actions under MMP

He is our "everything he touches dies"

'Reductio ad absurdum' and the unintended consequences of the new government OPINION: To argue that we needed people to continue smoking so we could collect a billion dollars in tax brought back to me a phrase I learned in my Latin class.

The schadenfreude I am havin' over Sir Ian Taylor's buyers remorse is so sweet, inject it right into my veins, if I OD I don't care this is how I want to go screaming out I told you so! #NZPol www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/3010...

New Zealand is the worst in racial equity, except for all the others...

Failed online supermarket Supie owed creditors $2.1 million Liquidators' first report shows the failed food retailer owed money to more than 4000 creditors.

So... I fail to understand why the Government is not bailing them out? I mean it's almost like a long-term investment?? We bailed out many many businesses the last few years... Make it make sense

At this point re-election does not seem like a bad option or go with Labour...

I'm starting to feel actually sorry for him

I hope Luxon now knows Winston won't care about what's best for the country and regrets not ruling him out

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukrainians are not ready to give up their freedom to the "f---ing terrorist" Vladimir Putin on the air of NBC NEWS. 👇

I mean Labour was much the same in terms of climate change/equity, so sounds horrible but I guess no difference either way I'd think

I'm interested in CGT though, that'd be a win as well

Would you mind at least trying to negotiate formimg a coalition with National ie Blue Green? I doubt it but you might get a pretty good deal out of them given National's alternative??

Ah yeah... If making it any more cesspooly is indeed possible

Concerning... I'd think it's his ultimate goal isn't it to populate Mars with his own offsprings?

😂 All his money making ideas have failed so far; going for the nuclear option

He wants people's credit card details so bad it seems

Crazy
