TOP claiming that their neo nazi donor gives money to 'just about every party' when he only gave it to right wing parties

TOP tries to say that the neo nazi who gave them $100,000 gives '$ to just about every party'

NO - he ONLY gave it to right wing parties - LIKE TOP - NOTHING to Labour, Greens or TPM

PLEASE repost this so EVERYONE knows exactly who they really are - just a lying pack of shunts

Indeed that Willis right very now pass an "Emergency Budget" and through NZTA and the NLTF provide extra funding to reduce our transit fares by 67% through this oil crisis. On the proviso that all cities with buses roll out more 6am-7pm bus lanes IMMEDIATELY with the consultation part bypassed.

- small increases in ticket prices
- "now if we had better ferries and rail," etc., …

A porcupine perched on a tree trunk that has been partially uprooted by the wind, so it’s nearly horizontal

You may need a thing about now that isn’t awful. Here. Have a porcupine in a tree that I spotted near the St Lawrence River. I talked to them for a while and told them they were cool. I hope they got the vibe.

Fuck. I hate that this shit is normal and acceptable. Humanity fucking sucks.

I so agree. I think the AI emoji should be 🫟

Sucky! I don't normally check emails til after coffee, but it was the only way to access my physio stuff....lesson learned, will make sure I can access it before going to bed!

This is a bold faced lie

Important to note as well, that is with enacting some of the most punitive restrictions to try and remove people from the benefit wherever they can.

So the actual figures of people needing support are likely higher.

I did not expect this government's terrible idea to bite them on the ass so quickly and thoroughly, but it is darkly humourous #nzpol

The managed to make welfare harder to get and still put more people on it by deliberately destroying the job market. This level of sabotage is actually hard to imagine and yet Nats achieve it every time they are in government because they never face any real consequences.

I'm glad we went through all that pain from austerity and cost-cutting for fucking nothing. Just like every other time it's been tried by every other government. At some point we're going to need a government that is going to invest in the people that live here.

Ain’t that the truth!

Headline reads "The Covid immunity cycle: Why catching the virus is basically our new booster" below picture of glived hands preparing a wooden syringe or something honestly the picture is weird I can't even tell what it's meant to represent

Dangerously stupid headline.
(It implies catching Covid is a neutral alternative option to getting a booster. It is not).

Went into my emails earlier to get my physio plan, and saw an email I really shouldn’t have read before coffee….but I stupidly did. Now I’m pissed off (and finally caffeinating)

Has this muppet govt reconsidered their LNG plans at all? Or are they really that much smarter than everyone else that they still know best. 🙄

Sometimes self awareness of privilege really sucks (obviously it’s actually a good thing).

I hope you have other moments of pleasure/support to keep you going until you get a good coffee again

Sitting is good!
