Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 07/10/2026With Opportunity completely aligned and NZ First can’t even be bothered to have negative policies in four categories… 010
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 07/10/2026We could start taxing easily acquired unearned money a tiny bit more and achieve both. And more. 000
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I come from the shore on the train via the ferry but i can understand why many wouldn’t…..but i dress badly so its easy to travel light. 010
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Surely a link to Puhinui is the quickest and most achievable option. Preferably allowing a seamless connection for those with luggage. I must be missing something…like too costly to have same track/rolling stock at the airport? 100
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Surely we get the $19,500 in one hit when they leave office? 000

Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Cost of CRL is fine (a good deal evn). But there should be fixed routes for other modes of transport than road to the shore. And beyond. 011
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Also fuel prices here should be higher for logistical and handling reasons. So any place they are lower than the US is “perplexing” …but I am no expert. 100
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 05/09/2026One of the few minidiscs i own. Before the format evaporated. Love it to death. 010

Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Is the conservation act going to go through this parliament? Genuine question btw. You seem much more clued up in this area than my friend group. 100
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 23/06/2026TOPs taxation and UBI plan seem more progressive than the greens to me. 100
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Of course it was previously known as night soil. Far too valuable to feed to the fish and algal blooms like in Wellington. 100

Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Oh Yes. Iain M Banks is the most marvellous high tech space sci-fi writer. I am still said he died too young. 010

Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Dutch studies showed cyclists safer when not wearing helmets. Mainly because other road users were more careful it seemed. 240
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 27/03/2026It appears to be price gouging. Like Meridian increasing their EV rate. 120
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Opportunity party now at 4% but not included in your list? 100
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Serious question. How much more expensive than light rail are these? What honking Lake Road in Auckland and other space restricted areas that desperately need public transport 100
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Luxon’s head is also maol (bare, rounded). So Mull of F**kindire. 000
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Surely the world of poor people is more real than the world of the privileged. By weight of numbers, exposure to real world stress and trauma and any other metric you could possibly name. 130
Willywatts @willywatts.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Just like how to eat an elephant. One bite at a time. 060
