Has he sent the Iranians shoes? That's sure to bring them on side. He could aur drop them. I'm sure he'd check the cultural appropriateness of that first...

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

Look. What I say to you is this.

We're destroying working and middle class jobs, forcing people to sell their homes at low prices and collapsing wages. But don't worry, it's all in the service of those rich enough to profit from it.

The new donor to TOP is very much aligned to the Trump/Musk view of the world. Here he is on X celebrating Trump's EO that dismantles the Dept of Education. #NZpol

The news today that their replacement project is already breathtakingly overspent (with absolutely nothing to show for it) rather underlines the fact that the Government is clueless about ordinary people’s needs, and is governing instead for their mates

This is absolutely correct.

The great forgetting that NZers enjoyed months of domestic travel, holidays, economic stability while large areas of the world were dealing with hospitals collapsing, deaths, lockdowns and restrictions.

Look. What I say to you is this.

We're going to sack and cut our way to growth! Only when unemployment is higher, even more thousands have left and wages are ground into the dirt can we* truly prosper.

*The rich and sorted vultures.

CTU stands in solidarity with teachers - NZCTU NZCTU Te Kauae Kaimahi President Sandra Grey is supporting NZEI Te Riu Roa and calling on Public Service Commissioner Brian Roche to back down from his plans to offer individual employment agreements ...

It’s time for Roche to take his responsibilities to support public servants seriously. It is the workers who keep the public service running, not ministers. He has an obligation to them. #nzpol

NOT GETTING A CENTURY PROOFED PORT AND STRAIT INFRASTRUCTURE.

MINIMUM VIABILITY.

SMALLER FERRIES FOR MORE MONEY.

WORSE PORTS FOR THE SAME MONEY.

THIS IS COLOSSAL INCOMPETENCE.

WE WOULD HAVE A CENTURY PROOFED PORT AT PICTON AND WELLINGTON BY NOW. TODAY. RIGHT NOW. TWO BIG ASS RAIL FERRIES PURPOSE BUILT FOR THE COOK STRAIT SWELLS. NOW. HIGH QUALITY QUAKE PROOFED PORTS FOR OUR SHAKY ISLES. BUT NO. NO. WE DON'T GET "MINIMUM VIABLE" UNTIL TWENTY TWENTY FUCKING NINE!

NZ'ers are paying $3 a litre for petrol. Did Luxon's Govt make this situation worse? Let's check the receipts:

1) They collapsed the EV market in NZ by killing the clean car discount + making fees to import gas guzzling cars nearly 80% cheaper. EV sales dropped 70% in NZ while globally sales rose

And if the landlords received the tax cut, the public servants have all been fired, the ferries were cancelled, benefits have been denied, hospitals need staff, schools need staff, regional councils have gone, etc - then who did they borrow the $120 billion for?

Themselves?

Current NZ coalition messaging:

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Perhaps they're a gift from someone special.

NZTA picks cheaper but less effective option to fix SH2 through Waioweka Gorge A newly released business case shows the recommended option would cut closures by 53 percent while a full fix would cut them by 70 percent.

So the government has spent well over a billion dollars on planning and land acquisition for fantasy RONS we can never afford, but there's no money to properly secure SH2 through Waioweka Gorge, which is regularly closed by washouts. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
