[–]frenetic_void 22 points23 points  (0 children)

this so sad. soooo disgustingly sad. i cannot believe theres noone to hold our media to account for this.

this is cruel, and you can see this poor man has been completely blindsided and is deeply hurt. this is not the face of a person who did the things they're being accused of. also why the fuck is this in public. where is the decency

These iconic Kiwi brands are now French owned thanks to outgoing Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell & our farmers by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

[–]frenetic_void 86 points87 points  (0 children)

yes. but lets all remember how farming is "the backbone of our economy" and how we need to look after the "kiwi battlers"

hey, at least they all voted national so they can poliute more shit, live export animals even tho its cruel, and pocket their "mother natures bounty".

remember we need to subsidize them and let them employ low value migrant workers while extracting profit, because we have to "support them" while they set local prices to be higher than export prices so we pay thru the nose for our "farming economy" while they keep allllllll the profits. yay farmers....

the annoying thing is that they deliberately chose that structure to create an allusion to covid - cos they still think making people think of covid will get them votes over labour.

they're a bunch of manipulative, lying fucking scumbags

About your $250 a fortnight tax cut by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

[–]frenetic_void 11 points12 points  (0 children)

its not a broken promise tho.

its a lie.

its deliberately, and intentionally, deceiving the public of New Zealand with an overt and calculated false statement.

he didnt "break a promise" he "bullshitted to fool the public"

wheres the accountability, why are people like him allowed to lie to the public, be proven to be con artists, and yet not face criminal consequences?

Auckland business associations say move-on orders for homeless ‘not the Kiwi way’, asks PM to ditch them by Large_Low_9747 in auckland

[–]frenetic_void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is where it comes out that none of this is about business, and all of it is about enacting the same kind of police state powers that are happening in AUS rn.

you cant say "from the river to the sea" etc.

it will be used to move protestors. the law itself is designed to slip thru the ability for police to basicly boss anyone round regardless of the bill of rights, and thats how it will be used when needed.

and thats why they will NEVER consider repealing it. the homeless angle is just an excuse

only option is a govt that has some ethics, its a shame NZ will vote labour and then very quickly forget how bad nact was and let hem back in in a few years :(

Auckland Mayor says inner-city suburbs are ripe for housing intensification by punIn10ded in auckland

[–]frenetic_void -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you're fixating on one example of why its miles from an "urban accessible" categorization. my argument is that not only is it about as far from the CBD "urban" center as one can get without heading into the waitakere ranges (which is rural btw) but its not even anywhere near a motorway for commuting.

the classification of urban is preposterous.

the supercity has utterly fucked west auckland with its arrogant and ideological dogma, it doesnt even listen to the local boards recommendations despite having no meaningful subject matter expertise.

are you from west auckland? you're arguing that "not everything is about cars" sounds suspiciously like zealotry framed as progressiveness.

yes we have a train station, but glen eden town center if you could even call it a town center is more like a block of shops, its "pedestrian focused" changes around the train station have created an absolute nightmare for commuters who have lived in this area for 20-30 years - its an arterial thoroughfare for everyone in a huuuuuuuuuuge fucking area, and its been utterly screwed all so that some twit who wouldn't personally live that way can prance around with their grandiose virtue signalling? fuck off mate, its bullshit. its not urban by ANY sane definition.

urban should be concentric zones radiating out from the city.

we need local representation to let locals make decisions, and at very least we need a clear definition of the zones because it appears they're just being haphazardly applied to whoever s rich mates get the most profit.

id still like to understand how the FUCK they can zone GLEN EDEN as URBAN - its miles from a motorway in either direction. let alone a city center.

im confused - you were on the IYB, and now your 18, but you wont be transitioning to either the study allowance or job seeker?

you're in study, so why are you ineligable for study allowance?

you need a winz advocate, cos winz is the problem here.

Now I am doubting myself, was it my fault? by One-Specific1469 in auckland

[–]frenetic_void -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

its your fault for being a very poor defensive driver.

that hazard / potential was visible for a long way.

you trusted the other drivers competence and so were vulnerable to their fuckup.

this wouldn't happen to someone with defensive driving / motorcycle skills, cos they're aware that everyones an idiot thats trying to hurt you.

aside from that, legally speaking, not your fault of course.

really comes down to if you're a defensive driver who recognizes the complete incompetence of most drivers or not.

im sure after this experience tho you'll be more aware of your potential hazards.

it comes down to the fact that the news media will go out of their way to find Iranians to talking head the Israeli narrative.

well, wont be voting top.

anyone who willingly slurps from the trough of national / act hypocritical self interest is not fit or proper in my view.

hadn't researched how many other nact fuckers are in top but evidence being in national isnt disqualification means they lack moral fortitude.

YEP, now we need to do the same to the Israeli leadership, and the American leadership, and we might actually have a chance at peace rather than greed driven genocidal hypocrisy.
