after these new zealand elections, i hope the rest of the world stops romanticising us as a place that does things right. we’re governed by clueless geriatric freaks who are in bed with billionaire lobbyists. we’re currently just a more walk-friendly version of the US. shameful
When I say "eat the rich," I don't mean the surgeon with 700K in his bank account who
had sleepless nights and worked hard for it.
I mean the billionaires who earn 10K a minute even while they're asleep.
I dream of a future where one day people will remember every fucken election where Winston has held our country hostage for weeks while also denying he’s ever played a role in any previous government. A day where voters finally clock to the grift and he becomes irrelevant.
Just a friendly reminder that Nicola Willis cancelled what would have been the greatest infrastructure investment in New Zealand since the CRL…AND the boats ordered under Labour would already be in operation alongside world class port-side infrastructure.
This election comes down to one thing: what does it mean to be a Kiwi?
Are we a people who punch down on the most vulnerable in our society or do we lift them up?
Are we a people who put the interests of the few ahead of the interests of the many?

Hipkins is right. He is using cost per kid in the school. We spend 5 times more on kids in charter schools.
Public: $9000 per student
Charter: $46500 per student
I love Volk so much.
But fuck me these American commentators love adding mayo to the story of his Rugby League career.
He played park footy on weekends and laid concrete all week.

Reminder—you can be critical of someone and denounce their actions without bringing things like race, sex, or religion into it.
You can genuinely be critical of someone based on just their actions! A concept, I know.
Maybe it was a huge mistake replacing his excellent broadcaster, informed and talented cohost with his wife who steamrolls stories, stops conversations to add nothing, and wants to be treated like she’s also a legend.
