Because not driving a gas guzzler is woke.

Look. If I was aware of this, what I'd say to you is this.

The sick are a burden our hospitals can't afford.

Quick video for the 'we saved too many lives, spent too much $, sent inflation to the moon, made interest rates go up, and now we have to pay for our sins ๐Ÿ˜ข' crowd.
The idea that NZ could have 'opted out' of global inflation surge is daft. Almost as daft as NZ opting almost uniquely for a recession.

Why we don't already have a Labour-TPM-Greens coalition in opposition to the current Government in NZ is just beyond me.

The population of Aotearoa is crying (some of us literally) out for sweeping changes to justice, poverty, health, social welfare, education, taxation and climate change.

The only reason this lot wear high-vis is to fool us into thinking there are still builders at work in this country.

Next week they'll be cosplaying as nurses.

Swarbrick reckons Greens leading Opposition, only party offering tax ideas 'No politician and no political party is entitled to anything.'

โ€œI donโ€™t just think itโ€™s a matter of what the political parties are saying and doing. Itโ€™s what New Zealanders want and need.โ€

โ€œNo politician and no political party is entitled to anything. It is New Zealanders who get to decide the direction of travel for this country.โ€

Yes. ๐Ÿ‘‡

He's such an idiot to think anything he says or does, or the businesses too stupid to realise the gas sector has been collapsing for years, can make gas appear when there isn't any.

Reality makes him a noisy irrelevance.

In today's podcast I discuss these astonishingly grim tax debt figures.

In short the amount of outstanding GST & PAYE has risen 15-FOLD from $95.4million as of 31st March 2020 to $1,471.6million as of 31st March 2025. Outstanding retail trade debt is up 19-fold, construction 14-fold. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Not if the growing conditions are the same as land used for winter grazing.

Funny how all these gas dependent businesses haven't seen this coming give the last five years of gas proving itself scarce, unreliable and expensive.

None of this is new.

Police investigate new complaint of sexual assault against former ACT Party president Tim Jago Tim Jago was jailed for two and a half years last year after being convicted of sexually abusing two teenage boys in the 1990s.

Remember Seymour played a part in derailing Jago coming to justice sooner than would have been if heโ€™d sent the victim to the police instead of a connected lawyer.

He was complicit.

Drowned hectors dolphin in net

This is the camera footage Shane Jones and his industry donors want to keep hidden from the public with their proposed changes to fishing laws. They don't want you to see all the dolphins, seals and albatrosses they kill and fish dumping. You can see it at 28.25 www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkgX...

Jones moves to green light ocean destruction through reforms - Greenpeace Aotearoa Greenpeace says moves to weaken ocean protection through dodgy fisheries โ€œreformsโ€ will be met with strong opposition, as Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones announces he wants to proceed with a...

The far-reaching changes would restrict public access to cameras on boats footage, remove the requirement for fishers to land all their catch, and stop legal challenges to catch limits that have been successful in protecting species in recent years๐Ÿ‘‡

If what Aotearoa needs is steady as she goes, don't upset anyone that'd never vote for them while hanging out working people to dry; then we're all set.
