I think that's a feature of austerity, not a bug. Save money by killing off all the 'useless eaters'. Absolute fucking ghouls.

It is staggering that so many National MPs can hold their heads up while saying OUT LOUD that other people's lives don't matter as much as New Zealanders'. A harrowing, important listen. Please don't let these ghouls keep running the show.

I'm really tired of TOP voters going "I'm voting TOP for something different" while the party is literally promising the same incrementalism and longtermism that they say is the reason they're not voting for Labour or the Greens. It's to the point where you question motives.

The real point of TOP
The Trojan Horse meme showing TOP as the Trojan horse, with a National coalition contained inside, being wheeled up to the gates of non-partisan coalition negotiations to be welcomed with open arms by disenfranchised voters.

A post off Threads from dravi1565 › nz pol 3h

National is in the DNA of Opportunity's leadership.
"Impartiality" - harder & harder to maintain with a straight face:
Quilae Wong's mother, Margaret Malcolm, has a long and close association with former National Party leader & Minister, Judith Collins - including acting as a snr adviser (esp during Oravida controversy).
Daniel Eb, as we now know, would vote National in default of Opportunity.

Sorry, I'll explain. We currently react to inflation by reducing the disposable income of spenders so that demand falls and unemployment goes up. We use a bufferstock of unemployed people to keep workers desperate, so wages are suppressed and we don't get a feedback loop (wage 🔄 prices) [🧵 1/n]

Sunday pm project - why interest rate hikes tank the NZ economy. I'm going to compare NZ to the big daddy of monetary policy, the US. Why? Mainly cos the US has a huge influence on global interest rates and they hit differently there. Let's start with NZ vs US CPI. Similar, huh? Right... [🧵1/n]

Nothing to stop NZ doing something similar of course - state-backed mortgages with built in disaster insurance (for e.g.) - with attractive savings accounts. That would stop us haemorrhaging $ to the Aussie banks and prevent RBNZ destabilising the economy with their macho monetarist nonsense. [Ends]

The US Fed is the big boss of central banks, and RBNZ kinda has to move with it. But, US households are shielded from the pain of increasing mortgage rates by stable 30-year fixed rate govt-backed deals. So, as we follow the Fed up, our households and therefore our economy get smashed. [10/n]

#nzpol There are so many unasked questions about our current economic 'policy' one of which - how come employment growth in 2024 and 2025 was worse than the GFC? There wasn't a worldwide slowdown in those years - the growth in unemployment here is entirely self-inflicted.
