I'm just going to put it out there: The new recipe sultana pasties are an insult to consumers, as the chocolate macaroons have been for some time. The pasty is far the worst "new formula" Aotearoa biscuit, with its crumbly half baked sugary filling bearing no resemblance to the former flaky interior

The talking points *AGAINST* capital gains tax has begun and was in play on Morning Report today.

One listener wrote in: "Taxing capital gains is penalising those who provide a home for others".(Paraphrasing)

Really?

So supermarkets that "provide" food to customers are "penalised" when they...(1)

One thing you can do right now is stamp really hard on anyone who says "just a tiny minority". 20% of the total population is not a tiny minority. It's bigger than Act or NZ First by a substantial amount. It's bigger than those two parties in combination.

Hey Hutt folks, you may miss it when voting, but please don’t vote for Suzanne Levy! She sounds fine, but OOPS she runs the TERF organisation Speak Up For Women.

100,000+ (& rising) human beings are homeless in AotearoaNZ. AGAIN the national party ghouls are selling 177 social housing homes. This is yet another wealth grab devoid of empathy, care, responsibility or even basic critical thinking. What society are they building? #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

The Right are terrified of the burgeoning Māori population. They can see the writing on the wall and they're attacking Māori from every possible angle because they can't cope with the idea of Māori gaining much more electoral and political clout.

I've been wondering if the engineered exodus of so many citizens is just clearing the country of expertise so we can be flooded with RW American residents and turned into South Hawaii

Is that even slightly legal? It doesn't seem like it should be.

The first plank of the new "bread and circus" policy. On this and in every succeeding trial, it will be run on a bring your own bread basis.

They have been complicit throughout the racist attacks, the health cuts, Kianga Ora defunding, ferry cancellation, the TPB fiasco. They have supported Seymour and weaponised him. Not one of them is fit to govern.

For me it's just like my practice husband. He would lie in my face and then get really indignant when I didn't believe him. He reabsorbed his lies into his reality in nanoseconds.

No, not at all. I was bewildered.

It else it can be quantified but they prefer to denigrate the people who did the calculations.

We are still dying! My sister died just a day ago, most likely from the after effects of a double bout of Covid+flu

Thanks 🀎 It was really confusing. I just couldn't process it.

My immediate reaction was "here we go again" because the same thing happened when my mother died, and one of my siblings just blurted it out on Facebook. However, I have sympathy for the blurter this time because she had a very close relationship to and with my sister, and it was a shock reaction.

Thanks J̣̌ulia.It is a shock, none of us was expecting it.

Thank you, Cath. It was very unexpected, going to take a while to take it in.

I didn't normally post personal stuff (except pictures of my cat) but I just found out my sister has died this evening. Please don't post anything on social media until you know close family have been informed. Several of us found out the same way and it sucks.

We should just go ahead anyway. It's perfect.
