A thing to remember about the Green Party's proposed wealth tax is that wealthy people will still be wealthy after they've paid the tax.

Since it was created in 1975, the Waitangi Tribunal has awarded $2.8bn to Iwi. In one year, the govt Peters is part of gave away $3bn to landlords in socially worthless tax breaks. Peterson and this govt should be abolished. #NZpol

The Criminalizing Homelessness Cycle There's a blog post about this #PoliCartoon at www.patreon.com/posts/115113.... Doing cartoons like this takes a lot of time - and I can do it because of all the super cool people supporting the work at patreon.com/barry.
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, arranged so that they can be read in a clockwise circle. Each panel shows the same character - a homeless man wearing jeans, a hoodie, and a knit cap. I'll call him "Knit."

TOP PANEL

Knit is lying on a park bench, looking like he just woke up, and with a confused expression on his face. A cop holding a billy club stands over him.

COP: Get up! Public sleeping is now a crime. You're going to jail.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

RIGHT HAND PANEL

Knit, looking confused and unhappy, is being kicked out of a building that has a sign over the door: "JAIL." Knit looks confused and unhappy. We don't see anything of the person kicking Knit out except for the shoe and leg that are doing the kicking.

KICKING GUY: You've served your time. Get out!

An arrow leads from that panel to:

BOTTOM PANEL

Knit, with a disappointed expression, is listening to a businessman-looking type wearing a necktie talk. The businessman has a stern expression.

BUSINESSMAN: You've been in jail! I'd never hire you, or rent to you.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

LEFT HAND PANEL

It's dark out; the only light is coming from a door which has been open a crack. Knit stands in front of the door. A sign above the door says "SHELTER." A woman inside is speaking to Knit through the crack.

WOMAN: Sorry, out of beds. Good luck.

An arrow leads from that panel back to the TOP PANEL.

This is such a great tool for strategic voting. I discovered the Green MP contesting Christchurch Central wants two ticks, but she’ll be getting in on the list anyway—so anyone voting for her will just split the left vote and maybe hand this Labour seat to the Nats.

They shut down flu tracking and flu is out of control. They cancelled ferries to save money and now we are gonna get shittier ferries that cost more. They fired all the public servants and unemployment went up. They gave landlords tax breaks and homelessness people are dying on the streets.

Time to remember the best voting advice I have heard -Voting isn't marriage -it's public transport.
You are not waiting for"the one" who is absolutely perfect. You are getting the bus.
And if there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk -you take the one going closest to where you want to be.
