Not just performative cruelty. I think they simply enjoy it.

Bastards.

Remember a few years back when an angry mob camped outside parliament, harrassed school children, shat everywhere, set the playground on fire and put up a noose to hang members of the government with?

Look. What I say to you is this.

The more businesses that struggle, the more I get to victimise the unemployed. I have poverty and homelessness KPIs to meet with my core sociopath vote.

I keep thinking of Luxon's "we're going to happen to the future" nonsense when I read news like this.

In his own terms he's failed...because the future is going to happen to us in NZ under his Govt...and it's not going to be pleasant.

Look. What I say to you is this.

When I say go to where the jobs are, I mean with free MPs travel allowances; flights and limos. Stay in one of your many houses around the country for which you're entitled to an entitlement of $1,000 tax free.

Unemployment has increased by 50,000 since heโ€™s been Prime Minister. Thatโ€™s 50,000 families affected.

Luxon is just giving up his responsibility as Prime Minister for his citizens - to look tough against people who are trying their best.

Where are the jobs?

'We want young people in work, in training or other ed' says the man whose government halved the apprenticeship boost allowance and moved fees free to year 3 along with destablising Polytech learning.

How much WFF would this family lose once the child turns 18? @clrenney.bsky.social

05.10.2025 07:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Dear lazy web, how much is the Working for Families allowance for a 17 year old if your household earns $66,000?

As others have pointed out, parents lose this when children turn 18.

No benefits for the 18 year old.

No WFF for the parents.

Lux-o thrives on misery.

It's not the needy who are a problem in this world, it's the greedy.

It's not the needy who are a problem in this world, it's the greedy.

Young people arenโ€™t owed a living but landlords are owed accommodation supplement & subsidies, & employers are owed WfF so they donโ€™t have to pay workers a decent wage & shareholders are owed $$ even if it means 120,000 households canโ€™t afford electricity. #nzpol

Jobseeker: Parents earning more than $65k must support 18-19yo children First announced at the Budget, the government had not decided where to draw the line at the time.

Look, we are saying we don't care about you, we don't love you.

Fcuk off to Aus or go live on the streets. You're making it harder for me to give landlords a three billion dollar tax cut and that's simply unacceptable.

Let me be clear: fcuk you and your parents.

There's a 3D printer for every home to pump out untraceable guns to send to our best bud cash patel.

Making those will get lazy youth off the couch and playstation.

I am contractually obligated to remind people voting in Canterbury that Greenpeace put out a Nitrate scorecard for safe drinking water and you should use it to inform your vote:

We'll put a roof over every golf course in the country if there's votes in it.

Sure. But Grant was all set to go with wealth taxes and chippy binned it. The nats may well have still won, but there really was nothing to vote for with labour going into the last election.
