Wasn’t it just last weekend when Herbstreet didn’t know who Marco Rubio (or Ted Cruz?) is and “had to ask why they were getting boo’d”?? Asshole. Maybe 3 months in an ICE facility will straighten his ass out. (I don’t mean to condone ICE; I’m just…urgh…fucking annoyed)

#nzpol The fact that the current coalition deliberately undermined initiatives to reduce our vulnerability to shocks like this ought to be a far bigger deal than it is.

This is a good headline! It refuses to amplify the false claim by using "wrongly", and includes the truth in the headline for everyone who doesn't read the full story (which is mostly everyone). It's also compelling clickbait for those ad guys. Now do this all the time!

Isn’t Swarbrick the only party leader that currently has a positive net favorability? Bit of an own goal to be flipping out going “can you imagine if this popular politician was an important minister?!” (Especially if you yourself are one of the most despised) #nzpol

'Piggy bank is empty' nonsense provides cover for the political class. Once the lie is exposed, they have to answer questions like 'If we have 100,000s of people wanting work, and plenty of raw materials, why is our infrastructure falling to bits? Sounds like mismanagement, ay? (It is!)

#NZpol Saw this excellent quote-reply to Simeon Brown’s latest attack on Labour. Worth sharing.

David Peez @RebelEkonomista

"The truck driver in Pakuranga helps pay off a lawyer's loan." No, Simeon. He doesn't. Not a cent.

When the government lends a student money, it creates the dollars and credits their account. No tradie's tax was collected and posted to a law degree. When the graduate repays, those dollars are deleted, drained back out like tax. They don't land in the truck driver's pocket either.

So nobody foots the bill. The worker and the graduate aren't on opposite sides of a ledger. Setting them against each other is the trick, and it runs on the same myth as "add it to the tab", that the government is a household counting coins. It issues the currency. The real limits are real resources and inflation, not a truck driver's tax bill.

"Someone always pays." Sure. Just never the person you keep pointing at.

When a court instructs Epstein files be released, and they are not, and when a court instructs media be allowed into White House, but they are not, then your courts are irrelevant. You have no law, not for those in power. When a court says "Accept this vote" and it is not, what are you gonna do?

#NZpol I'd have thought that although many outlets certainly think their paywalls justified, why *so much* of what the public *needs* to know (and in an election period in seems particularly pertinent one would think, given the actual *issue*) is subject to gatekeeping when so much BS fluff isn't 🧐
