Exactly this! In my experience they are predominantly white men. Liars, tax dodgers & thieves. In it for themselves, they just don't care. No wonder Jesus threw tables in the money lenders temple! The key moment that started our fall in AoNZ was Luxon crossing the road in a limo. Greed personified.

That these 2 guys can dismiss the book as 'business as usual' tells us a shitload about their warped perspective on NZ politics and the infiltration of lobbyists. It also insults their listeners, who care deeply about the influence of corporate money, esp when it's ramping up racism and dividing us

These thoughts are informed by a research project we did earlier this year looking at NZTU discourses which involved analysing two years of its media releases and other outputs.

In 2024 we paid $75 to get the tiny hobbit the flu shot it was 2 doses. With the cost of living crisis the babies who need it the most won’t be able to get it because their parents are poverty. Child poverty is actually parent poverty 🤷🏽‍♀️ they had to name it so people would care and they still don’t.

Labour is too scared to give National any potential attack option over taxes, as if the whole election hinges around who will cut or not increase taxes. Nevermind the fact that National just attacks Labour over potential coalition tax policies anyway.
