When Seymour said there are always a small group of people that turn up and ruin it for everyone, for a brief moment I thought he'd developed self-awareness.

If you don’t vote at the next election, your opinion is worthless and you will get the government ignorance brings. You probably don’t want that. Please vote. I don’t care who you vote for, but exercise your right, while you still have some rights maybe?

So we have a huge stinking sewage problem in chch. Huge amounts of raw sewage pumped into Wellington beaches. And national, NZ first and ACT are balancing it up with their torrents of bullshit in Waitangi. #shitstorm

Anyone who says β€œjunk food is as dangerous as heroin” has never tried heroin.

Yeah. He’s evil and you can see it in his eyes. He should never be freed.

This little wanker takes a salary to represent us.

All he needs is 5% to remain relevant and that’s the only thing he has loyalty to. There are enough cookers and unhappy dickheads to vote for NZFist. Yes. Not a typo.

If you seem nice, and a bit of a lefty I will follow you. If you’re a right winger, entrepreneur, or a Mowbray, I don’t need to follow you as I hear all your voices all the time due to your general inability to shut the fuck up.

So fckn funny that has the semi traditional round of business people griping in the media about Aotearoa allegedly shutting down over summer with govt spox leaning in and then the year starts with various shit storms other countries' leaders are talking about and our govt is just nowhere to be found

I don’t think so tbh. I think the z8 fills that gap. I understand about the $$$ though. I have a zf. The new std for mid range ff mirrorless is rapidly becoming 33 ish MP. May next generations will go that way?

Luxon was hand-picked for the job by people who thought he would bring back the Key-era mojo of the National Party. He’s the case study in how the people most likely to lecture you about meritocracy are not just hypocrites, they clearly are functionally incapable of judging merit.

You may have trouble getting an ESTA with a social media feed critical of USA (or their allies). I travel there at least once a year so am very careful. I have a number of friends and colleagues that can no longer get visas.
