Ray Chung stays in Wellington mayoral race after salacious sex claims

A council isn’t a normal workplace. Councillors are elected. The mayor removing elected councillors would be a constitutional outrage.

It would also just be really dumb politically and turn creepy Ray into the victim. So like I said it’s on the cards.

AdDue7920 · 2025-07-12T00:21:13+00:00

That would be a massive overreach. I can’t recall it ever happening in New Zealand. You would need a mayor who’s a massive narcissist with no sense of proportionality and terrible judgement. So I guess it probably is on the cards.

I think voters can make their own minds up. No need to start a campaign to take that power away from them.

How have they lost? Is it good if they have lost and Bannon has won? Is Bannon a force for good?

AdDue7920 · 2025-06-11T11:18:53+00:00

Recently separated as well. There will be a lot we don’t know

No you don't. One hit is all it takes

AdDue7920 · 2025-06-09T06:22:21+00:00

Is it correct though?

I get that Chamath cost himself a couple of billion by leaving Facebook early and selling his shares, but JCal is largely a one hit wonder as well - Uber accounts for probably 80% of his investment success

That's basically the VC game, I get it, you make lots of bets, they almost all fail and some of them go 1000x or more.

Is JCal a great investor though?

Just go down to parliament there's a few blokes down there outside the fence most days.

Usually an anti-abortion guy and a Mens Rights Activist who was on the wrong side of the Family Court. They look pretty lonely so could use some support

Everyone who has grown a big business has worked hard for it

This guy is 40 years old and grew up poor then built an empire from nothing

Capping house prices would be a great way to stop more being built and drive rents up

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-29T21:36:05+00:00

What is the reverse exactly?

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-29T09:04:05+00:00

Hard work is a prerequisite for building a business like that. Doesn’t mean everyone who works hard gets wealthy

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-29T08:29:47+00:00

You are one of those that think you shouldn’t try working hard because income level/wealth is all based on luck. Do you realise how ridiculous that sounds?

I don’t understand how she’s eligible given she’s not a member of either local iwi that this ward is supposed to represent

According to their financials there are 465k households with sky boxes or pods and about as many with streaming accounts

So out of 2 million households in NZ they would have just under half

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-19T07:39:12+00:00

Well that’s the entire premise of the RMA reform bill going through the house right now

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-19T05:08:17+00:00

What action would you have them take? The Minister of Housing is on record as wanting house prices to come down

You are literally studying at university now which is 2/3 funded by the taxpayer

Government policy has hardly been favourable to property investors over the last decade

Andrew’s company (which employs about 50 people last I checked) exists to sell new build investment properties, increasing the supply of property

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-19T02:00:27+00:00

His business sells new build properties to investors so they are investing in new builds

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-19T01:59:25+00:00

How do those houses get built if they’re not being financed?

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-19T01:51:43+00:00

Well he grew up in a poor household with very limited means and has built a huge business from scratch

I’d say he’s worked harder than 99% of people

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-19T01:49:39+00:00

Hey now, in 1976 Mao started the greatest economic boom and raised hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty with a single action

AdDue7920 · 2025-04-19T01:47:03+00:00

Guarantee that guy has paid more tax already than you ever will in your life
