I'm privileged to have a wage high enough that this National tax cut will put a few extra dollars in my pocket every week.

I intend to donate that directly to opposition political parties in the hope we can undo all this damage. As soon as possible. Please consider doing the same. #OneTermGovt #nzpol

"The country's ambulance service is funded by Te Whatu Ora - Heath New Zealand and ACC, which fund about 82 percent of the service, at a cost of about $380 million a year.

The rest is made up through donations, and a part charge of $98 for patients transported by ambulance."

This is ludicrous. We don't end up with a bill when we call firefighters to a fire. Why aren't ambulance services full funded?

Today’s call to action: please make a submission opposing this bill that would give the government the ability to skip due process for new mines and fish farms. #nzpol

“Auckland landlord finds his rental property turned into weed farm”

If landlords just pressured their mates in government to legalise cannabis they wouldn’t have to deal with this. #nzpol

So... recent purchases for a project I'm working on include a geiger counter and several VLF radio receivers. I'm glad I live in NZ where such projects don't attract attention... #listeningtotheuniverse

Having completed her prime directive of getting Cluxon elected, JMM is off to work as a lobbyist at ANZ for Clux’s old mate, John Key.

The corrupt gravy train just keeps rolling.

National are now blaming immigrants for their chronic under funding of infrastructure and services in a classic RW move.

They dont 'take yer jerbs' they bring and create wealth.

What we need is taxation of wealthy and investment in #NZ.

Concerned about the Cybertruck safety?

Yeah you should be, but not for the reasons you've been told.

I see #WinstonPeters continues the trend of people who rail against '#wokeness' but can't actually define what that word means

CCS Disability Action have published a scorecard for political parties and their commitment to issues that are relevant to our disabled kiwis. Obviously there are no big surprises here.
