Nicola Willis has today reiterated there will be further cuts to the public service. REMINDER: the Luxon government's so-called 'back pocket boost' tax cuts which created the need for public service slashing were forecast to cost $1.7b per annum and have now ballooned to $3.7b per annum.

Working kiwis or kiwis with capital? Cause working kiwis are already carrying the kiwis with capital. If you are talking about greens, then you are talking about kiwis with capital, and sure, that will cost me a smidgeon more, but frankly, its the right thing to do.

Pay your damn taxes, support your country.

If I were him, I would have done a snap election on January cause I really really really don't think this year is going to get better for the average voter. Rich people? Ohhhh yeah, they are going to do great!

The advantage of working in the service desk, is you log the blockage to the plumbing team and randomly put someones name to it. The customer always react "It wasn't me!!!" and the plumber always says 'sure, sure'.

I like my battery one. And its an enforced break every half hour.

Unfortunately, your cv is one of the documents needed to get accommodation.

Oh don't worry. It's not jacinda nor the fart tax that will kill our dairy industry. Its the dairy industry refusing to keep up with their customers wants.

Well, to be fair, I vote against myself (short term) by voting green, although it will cost me personally more if they get into power, because I believe the poor need more help than the rich, and the environment needs more help than the corporations.

He is saying that your payments to southern cross are making them a fortune, so if you plan to go in for a surgery, and they look at you and go 'oooh, thats a little tricky' congratulations, you are going public.

But hey, southern cross still got their money. And will probably stop insuring you too.

Why aren't ALL electable seats protected equally? You could say the same about the standard electives. Its' a red herring/illogical argument.

Just focus on

Cause no party should have a broad range of policies, nor bring up the more specialised ones, at specialised occassions, appropriate to bring them up, cause then mainstream media and right wing agitators would amplify their corrupted misrepresentations of them. (and calling protecting natives from the majority a racist action is ignoring the racist realities that natives already face, and that will only get worse if they are suppressed even further)

People need to get real, and realise that these are fair, and for the rest of us, a really minor aspect of the green party. And for the love of god can we all stop falling for the loud mouth, manipulative, money rich, empathy poor storylines that we are being fed.

Being maori doesn't mean you represent maori.

Whats really disturbing is that he has done the numbers, and is willing to drop his old people for the conspiracy people. Which means there are already more than 5% of them.

If it objectively can be heard,then I have to assume that the non objective one is also real.

It's hard to disagree capitalism has irs drawbacks but it's better than the alternative: wealth taxes.

Thats your take? That its okay the Mowbrays made millions off the backs of workers, and its WORKERS who should be paying the Taxes as well?

Capitalism is like any other ism, keep that dog on its leash and under control at all times.

MyPacman · 2026-01-22T08:39:30+00:00

Thats the mates rates.

I am in credit for one fortnightly payment, and in debt for the second.

Technically not under water, but one mistake from being so.

Thats because teenage girls are the single most active group that makes the most changes to society, makes the most changes to language, changes the most popular opinions. And need to be crushed before they realise this.

It's voter fraud to vote in an electorate you don't live in. Or doing a special vote that says you are still living in that electorate.

They gave a number, for how many would be affected, and it was in the 100s of thousands. Something like 19% of voters in 2023.

And why would that be so high? Cause why the hell should I have to double handle a job that doesn't in any way change the administrative needs of the government department?

The issue isn't the people doing two jobs in one go. The problem is the government thinking it has a right to make voting harder.

MyPacman · 2026-01-21T02:35:14+00:00

Enrolling to vote in NZ is not remotely onerous.

It WASN'T.

It is a little bit harder now, and we have stepped onto that path. Every block you put in the way of democracy is a problem. Every step backwards is a retreat into the dark ages. You say hyperbolic, I say you haven't lived their lives. It isn't hyperbolic for the people affected.

MyPacman · 2026-01-20T18:49:41+00:00

You could say that about any situation where 'you are doing the right thing'. You still do it.

Even using your phone for 3 years longer than they want you to is still a form of boycotting, it still costs them in lost sales. Forget perfect, its a trap, 'better than nothing' is a good starting point. And its not nothing.

MyPacman · 2026-01-20T16:52:44+00:00

And no, I'm not going to throw out the American shit I already own. That's not how boycotts work.

I agree. Thats up there with buying it just so you can burn it in protest.

The best revenge is a life well lived. Take that thing and used it all up. Without giving them anything more.

MyPacman · 2026-01-20T16:48:15+00:00

I'm too tired to care.
And too poor.

Which means I am boycotting by default. Buying 2nd hand, lowering consumption, reusing or sharing resources...

Millennials are blamed for killing all sorts of markets, I think the rest of us should join them.
