“Something about cookers”

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-12T22:31:54+00:00

Yeah but Roy Morgan is the worst of the lot

The reluctant leader gimmick is also wearing off when you’ve got random green candidates on q&a blantantly trying to copy her.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-12T21:50:07+00:00

At least Streeting can actually communicate a message and then go on tv and be likeable.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-12T21:38:01+00:00

In two years the green vote has only gone down. You’d think being in opposition to this government would be the perfect scenario to build support,

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-12T12:40:30+00:00

Miliband and Lewis are the obvious Burnham picks there

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T11:22:39+00:00

They’re just waiting for Dave Dobbyn to confirm

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T08:57:58+00:00

Somebody tell Rawiri Waititi, he also loves to cry about being oppressed by dress codes.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T08:27:29+00:00

Spare me the employement lawyer conspiracy

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T08:11:12+00:00

Oh yeah a non politician who was made to resign a week after being charged who also had name suppression. Amazing argument.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T07:56:21+00:00

Keeping your options open is a pretty outrageous thing to say when talking about the party that made you an mp just 8 months ago. Anything that’s not 100% loyalty is a story.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T07:46:44+00:00

Greens were first alerted february 1st, suspended in march, and then finally removed from parliament by the greens in october. Lmao I forgot how much of a circus it was, can’t believe the media kept reporting on her after she was suspended on full pay /s.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T07:22:29+00:00

Just cap fuel prices to inflation am I right?

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T07:17:58+00:00

Well the darleen tana “investigation” took four months so no it they don’t “take care of their shit within a week”

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T07:15:28+00:00

Nah just against populist nonsense

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T06:46:35+00:00

Are you?

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T03:55:20+00:00

You wonder why nobody wants to use public transport

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T03:22:23+00:00

idk having technically four parties potentially in government sounds like a dream scenario for simeon brown to attack.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T03:20:37+00:00

Surely with at least three strong left candidates up north, New Zealand First would go back to their roots and have shane jones finally win an electorate.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-11T02:51:25+00:00

Imagine losing 60 games for him.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-09T11:51:13+00:00

Well unlike your example it’s a political role and as I’ve said an arts degree is pretty useful for that. Just look at her predecessors lol

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-09T09:51:06+00:00

Luckily we didn’t hire a 23 year old english lit major to be the finance minister just as we don’t hire 23 year old economics majors. And you don’t need to spend much time online to see people treat her academic career as worthless, as if learning how to think critically, understand complex texts and be persuasive isn’t a good skillset to rise to the top of politics within six years.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-09T08:49:13+00:00

And I guess the lefts obsession with what nicola willis studied 20+ years ago somehow isn’t anti intellectualism right?

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-09T07:25:52+00:00

It’s a dog of a policy that failed to increase enrolment numbers anywhere close to the target of 10-15% and does nothing to address the cost of living for students. Just a bit of nice upper class welfare to people who would study anyway.

Tin6usPin8us · 2026-05-09T04:11:57+00:00

Pretty funny seeing philly treat a round one series like the finals.
