So you would expect. But another neoliberal creed of Natz and Act is - socialise the costs and privatise the profits. Don't hold your breath.

Score card for the Leaders Debate: Natz win! Outstanding performance by Natz leader Christopher Luxon! In the category of answers ‘Mostly Untrue’ and ‘False’ – Luxon 6, Hipkins 0. Such a one-sided contest! https://twitter.com/Kiwi_Rascal/status/...
Don't hold your breath! Unless there's a buck or several to be made by one of their big donors, I doubt the Natz will entertain the idea.
Confirmation. https://twitter.com/MxDEJ/status/1703541739452268777
Apparently he's also an ex-member of the Destiny Church too!* Alarm bells should be ringing loudly! Another cranky fundamentalist like Luxon et al? Edit: *Can't find where I read that so may not be true.
Take heart, troops! This is not scientific, except in the sense that a computer matches customers with my car. I drive uber 2 nights a week, and ask all my passengers if they intend to vote. About 90% of the time this leads to further discussion, when I ...
Well, I never! Even as a joke, that's pretty damned irresponsible!
A funny but sad story about the election – and the appalling level of understanding of some voters. I drive uber 2 nights a week. I always ask my passengers if they intend to vote, and urge them to do so if they say they don’t. Sometimes this leads to a ...
The message is quite simple really: vote Greens or TPM as if your life depended on it! It does!
Regrettably, sad but true!
either increased spending Surely you mean decreased spending? [Oops I meant increased debt. Now corrected - MS]
a very intelligent man Not according to Hooton: https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2023/09/12/luxon-caught-out-in-back-room-cut-election-lies/
To coin a political phrase . . . 'the reality is' the Greens are the only party taking climate change seriously. Any voter, of whatever political persuasion, if they are at all concerned about the state of the planet, have only one option to vote for!
Punching down is what the NAct do best! Expect more of the same if, God forbid, they win in '23.
And you can bet some greedy bastards (looking at you, Luxon, Mitchell et al) will be inflating the value of their 3rd or 4th property into the $2M bracket in order to make a killing! OMG, the Natz (and Act) are appalling!
Yes, yes, yes. A coalition government of 31 Labour MPs, and 30+ combination of Greens and TPM. Then we might get real social and environmental progress in this country!
we can safely conclude they do not know what they are doing. But . . . has that ever stopped them in the past? Think Muldoon's scrapping of the NZ Super scheme, or Richardson's 'Mother of all Budgets.' Or Key's asset sales, and increase in GST. As Chloe ...
Kieran McAnulty said that the maximum they could hope for taxing offshore gambling would be $40 million - $100 million short of the Natz magic figures. Then there's this: it shows 60% or more of foreign buyers would be exempt from the 15% tax. https://...
Here's a prediction: the left's greatest asset is Christopher Luxon! At some stage during the election he will fuck up, probably during the tele debates - but he'll do it so publicly the voters will turn off from him and the Natz. Second greatest asset - ...
How do you quantify 'unity'? Turnout for the Women's World Cup - lots of unity there. I mix with a wide range of people - ages and backgrounds. Some grizzle about the government, but some have always sounded off. Most are generally supportive of the ...
The crucial thing here is: we turned away. Turned away to where? If you think, even for a fleeting moment, that the Natz could have handled the last 6 years better than Labour - well, there's no hope for you. Yes, there are other alternatives, such as T.O...
IMO you're talking BS. A distinct and very vocal tiny minority have bellowed loud and long about the country being divided - but I've yet to see any concrete evidence of this! What has happened it a few principle-less politicians have latched onto these so...
It won't be Lab or the Greens Well, colour me surprised - Anker will vote for the fundamentalist/conspiracy/cranky right!
So glad you'll give your party vote to the Greens then - rather than to a party without principles!
Yes, hopefully (and gleefully)!
Luxon wouldn't discuss Act policies on TV1 News tonight, whether he'd rule in or out anything Act wanted. But . . . in his ambition Luxon would deal with the devil to be PM. So, potentially, what ever Act wants, Act will get! Potentially, the most right-...
Just like my car, I go for a WOF every six months too. To Smithy - good to hear things worked out well.
Nor is Labour's undersea dream tunnels either, for that matter. For a fraction of the cost of the undersea dream tunnels, the government could import hundreds of electric buses, make them free and frequent in all the major centres and, coupled with ...
This is more like the Greens Party of old, policies for ordinary people Go the Greens!
Frankly, I'm beginning to wonder what the f*** Labour stands for anymore!
