People donโt understand, and this shit from Collins is playing on it, is that these are not just pay disputes.
This government is engaging in massive adulteration of the public systems. They want to break and privatise health. They want to infiltrate education for profit. #nzpol

Thank you, Minister Collins. We will be out marching on Thursday as well, supporting all the striking workers. We see through your obfuscation.
Sincerely, a couple of retirees.

Racists who who call moko kauae "barcode" aren't as slick as they think they are.
After all barcodes imply value.
Making these racist ballheads worthless.

Would a stricter dress code bring political order?
The clothing of our politicians has become increasingly casual and political in recent years.
Pretending that the failure of Gerry Brownlee to discipline Winston Peters' & David Seymour's constant disorderly behaviour and his inability to get Luxon to answer questions is a dress code problem is a massive wank.๐ก

So our entitled PM Luxon is on roughly 500k with so many incentives and allowances.
Code Brown has stated that the senior doctors are paid 325k
The doctors work a 1000x harder than the entitled one and deserve more.
I have more respect for our doctors than Luxon

Winston Peters threatens Fonterra over sale of Anchor and Mainland brands
The NZ First leader is holding out the prospect of more regulation for the dairy giant if the sale of brands like Anchor and Mainland proceeds.
So we have a *new* ministry all about removing regulation
We're removing regulation on cakes because 24 complaints
But Winston wants *more* regulation because a private company is doing private company things

It would help if the Greens and protestors demanded an apology for Peters defaming them by accusations of violence when his window was smashed. Charging him with defamation would be a boon.
