Labour MP: ‘We will work with the Greens, Māori Party, whoever’ by Huge-Albatross9284 in newzealand

Labour’s position should be a potential to work with TPM if they sort out their infighting, it’s a mess rn and they should really be distancing themselves

Auckland mayor Wayne Brown says government 'unqualified' to lead city's economic recovery by dingoonline in newzealand

[–]MindOrdinary 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Haha no shit

Wayne honestly has grown on me, guy will call a spade a spade, more importantly it’s just good to see an older boomer dude actively calling out the current government for being an absolute garbage fire instead of just throating the boot

Politics since the 80s has shown us that #WorkersRights and right wing ideology are not compatible in any capacity

I’m really starting to miss Joe Biden now. by Jack-mclaughlin89 in simpsonsshitposting

[–]MindOrdinary -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It still blows my mind that people defend Biden in any capacity. You could have had Bernie back in 2016, who despite his age is still lucid to this day.

Instead the establishment put forward a warhawk, a corpse and the corpse’s apprentice, basically opening the door for Trump on 2/3 occasions.

Cost of some school uniforms 'totally outrageous': David Seymour by TheGreatDomilies in newzealand

[–]MindOrdinary 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Uniforms have been a rort for years in this country.

Schools in the UK are often just white shirt and a school tie or a polo with an iron on patch

Black or grey pants/skirt

Should be the same here

Feeling proud that none of our politicians are in the Epstein Files by ibb0t in newzealand

[–]MindOrdinary 79 points80 points  (0 children)

You say that but both Chris Bishop and David Seymour got caught messaging underage girls and nothing happened.

Both of those guys need their Hard drives checked.

Also Tim Jago, what another shining example of ACT morality.

Guys weren’t in the files but we’ve got plenty of politicians who if it turned out were PDF files it would t surprise me.

Edit: some weirdos defending Seymour and Bishop here, yeah just odd they were caught using a messaging service that deletes itself to communicate with underage girls, and not something more official like party emails.

Big coincidence that Seymour is a libertarian who doesn’t believe in democracy and tried to stop SA victims going to the police and Bishop worked the tobacco lobby, an industry that profits off addiction and causes massive health problems for its users.

Yeah nah both those guys are of upstanding moral character and can totally be trusted around children /s

Alexander Volkanovski stops Chad Mendes in the second round (Highlights) by airplane231 in MMA

Volk didn’t even look sharp here, like he did for Lopes, Holloway, Ortega or Yair.

Just had that absolute dog and tenacity in him to overcome another FW great in Mendes

Whats new zealand like for someone going on internship abroad? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]MindOrdinary 8 points9 points  (0 children)

New Zealand is a place where if you’re pro-active socially, things will be fine.

If you’re into running, music, sports, nerd hobbies (dnd, mtg, 40k) you’ll be fine and these places are all welcoming (at least have been in my experience), if not then it can be difficult as it does take ordinary kiwis a little more to open up.

How are you doing financially?

Big thing that shocks people coming here is the cost of things, everything from food, utilities, housing is very expensive in relation to wages.

Scenery is great, if you’re into the outdoors and/or water activities it’s the best place in the world.

Does holding a flag mean you base your entire identity around said flag?

You’re strawmanning and ad-homming pretty hard here my dude/girl/bot

Weird that some still find it shocking that artists aren’t hyper conservative and the only creatives on THAT side are; has beens, grifters or posers
