The Labour govt found out wealthy people’s effective tax rate was 9% and proceeded to do nothing about it. My effective tax rate was 30% last year as a regular income earner. Do you really think I give a fuck about a 2% wealth tax? I do not.

They lost the election because they pissed away a mandate to do actual change, to reverse the damage done by rogernomics, and instead they ignored all the reports and did little tweaks. Hipkins wants to stay in opo. It's pretty clear.

Damn, those Treasury fuel price forecasts were looking great for a few months, but things kicked up again in August.

Flamebait: the reason the right are freaking out about Te Pāti Māori is they've only just realised Māori voters understand MMP way better than everyone else There's nothing new about Māori seats having a heavily split vote and producing an overhang, but I guess y'all assumed that was an accident

This is as f*cked up as everything else this Klown govt has rushed through. Drones (and operators) in all domains need more not less regulation...

This is where that Robocop view would be great: automatically scans the crowd and tags each one "campaigned against Three Waters", "parliamentary occupier", "complains to council about rates every week", "stalked Jacinda", "member of #BitterWellington", etc etc... www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

We’ve been sick and also looking after sick moko so their folks could work. Our power bill is heading over $500 which we had been trying to avoid. Last year it got to $700 for one month. Frightening. Voting Greens is about our survival now and the future of our moko long after we’re gone. #nzpol
