Returned to NZ in 2022 after 7 years in Indonesia to shock. I never thought it would be people calling themselves 'liberals' pushing toward totalitarianism
@the_salty_one_ When you return to NZ after a long time o'seas you are greeted with the reality that we are immersed in a sea of envious small minded leftists who believe the state should always provide for them.
Evidence is the daily school lunch complaining on every msm
@ramarata333 Never saw their interest in blind kids getting glasses or deaf kids getting hearing aids. But as soon as they can talk about 'fixing' kids genitals they have parties.
They're deranged perverts
Here we go again.
Appearing on Q+A, Labour’s Transport spokesperson Tangi Utikere told Jack Tame that their public transport fare cap policy will be funded by taking money from road maintenance — including the repair of potholes.
Under the last Labour government, potholes became such a serious problem for road users that National campaigned heavily on the issue and since the coalition government took office, there has been clear and significant progress.
Labour taking money from road maintenance will undo all that work.
WOW 🚨 United States Pardon Attorney confirms the ONLY pardon that was physically signed, not by autopen, was Hunter Biden’s pardon
He says Anthony Fauci was very worried about getting a pardon and reached out to make sure he got one, he immediately officially accepted it to make it legal once he got it
“The only signature on pardons that you see with a wet pen is Hunter Biden, which was signed at Thanksgiving. All the rest are auto pen, which begs another question
But most importantly, you can see these are email exchanges where Fauci, Dr. Fauci's lawyer, is saying, will there be pardons for Fauci? And then in the morning of January 20th, and just in time for the change of the presidency, Fauci got his pardon. And you have to accept under American law, the one thing the Supreme Court has said is you have to accept the pardon. So Fauci immediately had his lawyer say, I accept the pardon, and sent that in. So they were very aware that they needed that and they wanted it.”
Crimes Against Humanity can’t be pardoned
Also according to everything I could find, the presidential pardon system was never meant to be used the way Biden used it. Every pardon should be thrown out
@EarlFargofbu2a@bobble05132522 I did catch Niva Retimanu on ZB news doing the normal architecture of NZ journalism finding a spokesmen to congratulate Labours new policy. Conversely every National govt. policy is always followed by some fringe spokesperson condemning it
Happens every time
This is the moment a customer busted two @Shell workers running the screw scam to charge gas to other customers.
He told them straight: take the screws out or I’m ruining your entire company.
I’m so sick of people coming to America just to scam hard-working citizens. Deport every single one running these street-level cons.
Maori only fishing rights in our newest marine reserve. $69 million lost on Maori mussel farms. Millions grifted to faceless Maori groups with the Regional Growth Fund. A proposal to subsidise Kiwi fruit growing for Maori. Non-elected speaking rights. NZ First or Maori First?
@peterjlattimore@kaiviti_cam Would Ardern have won outright in 2020 if she hadn't been given a platform to power by Peters?
I highly doubt it. He fucked it big time, however you wish to colour it
YOU'RE WEEKLY REMINDER OF WHERE YOUR MONEY WENT UNDER THE LAST GOV. ( a few of thousands of examples)
1. Wallaby eradication — $2.7 million to kill 18 wallabies. $153,000 per wallaby and 26,000 labour hours. Cheaper to fly them home business class.
2. Virtual job expos — $835,000. 126 people attended. $6,626 per Zoom attendee.
3. Global health recruitment campaign — $514,000. Result: 3 interviews. $171,000 per interview.
4. Let's Get Wellington Moving — $35m on consultants. Just $250k on actual construction. You read that right.
5. Auckland Light Rail — $229 million. Six years. Not one metre of track. Burning $1.2m/week on consultants at peak.
6. Three Waters — ~$1.2 billion torched on a policy nobody wanted, scrapped before delivering a single pipe. Included $14,500 to write a job description for a CEO who never existed.
7. iReX ferries — $500m+ sunk. Ballooned from $551m to a projected $3 billion+ before cancellation. (NZ First also had fingerprints on the original deal — worth being upfront about.)
8. RAT tests — $531 million sitting in warehouses. Storage at $100,000/day. Approved over a year late.
9. Mongrel Mob meth rehab — $2.75 million. $239k catering. $157k marae hire. $100k hiring a van.
10. Shorter shower campaign — $2.8 million. Printed in 7 languages. To tell you to take shorter showers.
11. Auckland Harbour cycle/walking bridge — $51 million on planning before scrapped. No bridge.
12. Lake Onslow pumped hydro — ~$100 million on feasibility studies. Not a shovel in the ground.
13. Workforce Development Councils — $65 million/year for bodies critics said delivered little tangible value. Disestablished.
14. RNZ/TVNZ merger — $20 million. Abandoned by Labour themselves.
15. Ethnic women in politics research — $842,000. A university grant could've done it for a fraction.
16. "Ulu Cavu Wig Tour" — $73,000 in taxpayer funding for the Arts Minister's husband's tour.
17. Abandoned China immigration office — ~$3 million in rent on an office closed for over a year.
18. Promoting Australian citizenship to Kiwis already in Australia — $10,000. Funding the brain drain with our money.
…and we could keep going.
We should never FORGET Labour. Just a small fraction of their wasteful ways.
