Jesus Christ, Luke Malpass has murdered Nicola Willis! #NZPol
Finance Minister Nicola Willis, who has consistently warned for the past two years that New Zealand must rebuild fiscal buffers to withstand future shocks, has been proven right: the state has very little room to cushion the impact of the current oil shock. Attempting to do so without addressing structural deficits would only compound existing problems.

At the same time, the crisis exposes the modesty of Willis’ government’s efforts. On nearly every financial measure - debt, deficit, revenue growth and spending - the situation has worsened under this Government, reflecting both inherited conditions and policy decisions since 2023. Despite rhetoric around fiscal responsibility, the reality is that the Government’s margins for manoeuvre are minimal.

The threat of NATO's break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kyiv by Orbán - it all looks like Putin's dream plan.

Yes to ppl pointing out this is a Cunliffe/Little moment in terms of optics & the need to transition leadership. But the 🥔 has no one to pass the 🏉 to. Yes, he has a woman trying to cosplay Jacinda, but that is not enough: they need actual leadership skills. As Labour was, until it found them #nzpol

It's actually becoming offensive how much of what should be clear public communication in a looming crisis is actually campaign messaging about how they won't do what those other guys did during Covid.

Possibly contrarian take on why people SHOULD play lotto. You will never win. By design. But still, a ticket is hope. That matters. But most importantly? People should understand how significant the difference is between what the 1% can afford, and what we can. A prompt to reflect on that? Gold.

Hey AoNZ, same deal here. Little Simeon would LOVE a USA-style healthcare system. Paying tax is like a massive buying co-op. It makes sense. And so does renationalising strategic assets and creating a ministry of works. ✅️✅️💚 #NZPol
A screenshot of a message from Chris Lund:

It's hilarious when Americans pity my Norwegian tax rate. And yes. We pay more to the state. In return, we get free Healthcare, free college, and 49 seeks of fully paid parental leave.  Your 'low taxes' just mean you pay private corporations a premium for the privilege of still going broke when you get sick. Our system is an investment in human dignity. Yours is a GoFundMe waiting to happen. The math is not that complicated.
