What surprised me was the lack of mention that the “border” of the Akl lockdown was possibly larger than required considering that Auckland cases were largely confined to the South-East, yet North-West was also confined, with no-low cases that would have been better contact traced. Blanket approach?
wait until Iran legitimately defends it’s territory against the illegal use of force against it, by attacking the USA directly. It will take its time to decide how to strike back. It’s had decades to plan a counter attack and with a new Ayatollah even more anti-imperialist, bad news for USA.
2006 iirc. Politicians were no longer allowed to be ridiculed or satired. Intended only to apply to what was said in the House, but expanded to cover all politician speak.
Mallard wasn’t great. Ignored putting Parasite Managers under REAA lgsl, and ignored banning ticket scalping en masse.
I hope the attendees will be vetted, wanded, and subject to security screening.
I had 3x boosters. Fine.
After the 4th, I suffered chronic full body hives for 6 months. Utterly unbearable. Known as a potential side effect. Hives only went away when I eventually contracted covid.
Somewhat ironic.
Haven’t had a booster since for fear of repeat.
Thanks to Trevor Mallard outlawing political satire which saw the death of Facelift :(
This was in 2019 though.
As a T1D myself, I can’t say I am surprised as the knowledge in EDs about the requirements of T1D is pretty subpar. Getting a slow acting carb release sandwich to bring up BSL rather than orange juice or any other fast acting sugar immediately - is diabolical.
C’mon do something meme of badly drawn person using a stick to poke at a moribund economy
Someone smarter than me needs to work in the oft quoted “90% of NZ businesses fail in their first three years” and try and tie it into Luxon and National’s failure to do anything about the NZ economy in their first three years.
Who is NZs worst Prime Minister in 100 years and why is it Christopher Luxon?
#nzpol #kikorangi
Look, if it takes Winston to be PM for 12-18 months (he has been acting PM and the world didn’t collapse) as part of his conditions to support a NZF-Lab minority govt with Greens on C&S just do it @chrishipkins.bsky.social. Winston set up the split DPM role precisely for this leverage. #kikorangi
Next stop - debtors prison for unpaid WINZ debts.
$955/week would get you TWO rental properties which are 3bd/2 bth hothouse townhouses. The living conditions would be the same as prison - diabolical
Is today the day I wake up to the RNZ headline: “Christopher Luxon dies in his sleep”?
Such a cretinous oik. I shudder every time I hear his voice utter one of his three bullet points.
Anything but gas which will mainly be used by big business.
Define: Socialise the losses
Kluxon was against socialism on Waitangi Wknd and here he is practicing it.
Why couldnt this tax, sorry, levy, have been implemented to pay for Onslow instead?
When I lived in Wellington, power in summer for just two of us, was never less than $180/mth.
Winter was around $250/mth, and we had a woodburner. Add in the cost of wood, closer to $300/mth.
Power bill for the year? $3200
Moved to Australia. Last year? $1720.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe that any of #nzpol pollsters capture any of the vast swag of overseas based voters?
I know plenty of Kiwis in Brisbane/Gold Coast who will be PV Green in this year’s election.
And yes, everyone keeps checking vote.nz to ensure their enrolment.
Now you just have to wait 84 years for it to dry.
Looks great!
NZ media giving last gasps of dying breath energy to blame everything but what’s staring them in the face - an utterly useless National govt that hasn’t achieved anything
Credit where its due: at least Key got the UFB in place; and better than Australia’s NBN which is a farcical joke
Luxon? Nada
NZ news orgs could compete if they actually published news and proper analytical reckons instead of My Cockskin’s shower wank thoughts and Audrey’s fangirling despite all evidence to the contrary.
Fran also needs to be put out to pasture.
the 1987 Labour govt funding continued that for three years in 1989.
Ruthanasia stopped all that after 1992.
It then began the rise of Scholastic Books.
NZ School Journals weren’t even funded. Our school kept the school journals, along with all the stories of how Maui slowed the sun, etc.
Ok, Kpop Demon Hunters. I’m a fan
“This is what is sounds like” is a banger. Way better than Golden.
So extremely disappointed that NZ Labour is supporting the Indian FTA - on the same terms which were previously rejected when Labour was in govt.
How utterly hamfisted and unprincipled.
And ban non-residents and corporations owning residential properties.
Great. Now end negative gearing. Keep it for new builds (incentivises new housing), and phase out existing negative gearing over five years reducing the amount claimable by 20% each year.
Get ur mates registered to vote. Winston gets his numbers up in the polls, he's got a figure in mind, when it hits that he pulls the coalition, early election, huge number of voters not registered in time for early elections and coalition re elected for more grifting chaos.

Why is Helen Clark still active on the pedo site?
But I’ve never liked NZ being used as a backdoor for citizenship into Australia. The NZ govt is very weak kneed on that front. It’s up to Australia to tighten it. NZ’s brain drain to Australia raises the IQ of both countries.
There are over 1 million kiwis in Australia. Many fail here and return to NZ. Of the remainder, roughly 20% apply for citizenship. That’s not a lot
Housing is a federal and state govt issue. Voting for govts that actually have a plan to address housing (removing neg gearing would help) is key
