Pay equity cuts are unaffordable so teachers and nurses will just have to keep on subsidising property investors. #nzpol

Chlöe Swarbrick has the coolest electorate office by a city bloc.

I don't think a law will stop them honking. I get honked if I wait behind a right turning vehicle instead of under passing via a cycle lane despite that being illegal.

And the same government foisting these costs on councils is also cutting off revenue to those councils. I think Auckland Council in particular needs to be publicly hard-nosed here. Make these developments look risky. Make the developers' lenders nervous. Fuck 'em.

Groundswell's McFadden says "farmers are inherently environmentalists" and argues for 'self-regulation' This self-serving view would see more nitrate poisoning of aquifers, over-extraction of river water & more animal effluents, destruction of habitats, enteric pathogens and eutrophication #nzpol

A perfect example of why Jago went either welcomed or undetected in the ACT party for so long. They all lack basic human decency. ACT is the Party of sociopaths. The Party of hilarious cruelty. The Party of institutionalized abuse. The Party of narcissism. Paul Henry fits perfectly.
