no taxes? I’d rather NZ political parties dealt with the fact we have 1) NO rules around lobbying 2) NO disclosure of targeted digital campaigns 3) NO limits on party donations

Worth remembering that if it costs the government $4.5b to reverse the gender pay tax, then it costs the women affected $4.5b to leave it in place.

My grandson sent pics of his visit to UK. About 20 kiwis on a night out. My comment to him was “Get them all enrolled to vote”. He checked & told me they are all already enrolled.

I think ‘the list’ shd be limited to a smaller number. It was envisioned to allow some candidates to enter parliament this way because they were unlikely to get elected (minorities, youth, for instance) it was not for parties to fill the majority of their seats as unelected reps via the list.

Unfortunately we see our politicians captured by the narrative that all migration is bad. But what is the alternative if you're hoping to have an economy that can build roads, schools and hospitals and survive major traumas like earthquakes and cyclones? AI is not going to build those bridges.

For those in the back: The total amount the New Zealand government has spent on all historical Waitangi Tribunal settlements over the last 30+ years is less than the cost of a single year of the 2024 tax cuts for Landlords.

Giving poor people books for free to read was a socialist idea and people were totally against it. Nowadays, it's normal to have libraries. Same for firefighting, ambulance, policing. Great podcast www.youtube.com/watch?v=nffK... #USpoli

I think, fundamentally, one of the things I like about Green policy generally is that they want to do what Government is uniquely well positioned for... Delivering services and outcomes to the whole of society that are beneficial widely and which aren't going to be provided by private enterprise.

Waitara Foodbank posting thanks to Knox Church in Waitara, who supply them with ready meals to freeze - 300 of them today. All fresh ingredients cooked from scratch, all voluntary. This is Christian charity above reproach.
Presumably the vegetarian option - pasta bake but not stodgy or congealed.

Craig Renney explaining how Nats and crew are very bad with money.
"We're not a poor country, but we absolutely make poor choices when it comes to spending.

Let me give you a very brief example. Boot camps.

The first round of boot camps cost $4.1 million for ten children.

That's $410,000 per child.

For that money, let's assume they lived in Palmerston North.

I could pick them up in Palmerston North in a limousine. I could drive them to Wellington Airport. I could fly them first class, Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific, to London.

In London, I could pick them up in another limousine, Rolls-Royce Wraith II if you must, and drive them to Windsor.

At Windsor, I could drop them off at Eton private school. I could pay for an entire year at Eton and give them $1,000 a week in spending money.

At the end of the year, I could pick them up in the limousine, fly them first class all the way back to Wellington, drive them home to Palmerston North, and then hand them a cheque for $125,000.
