I am sick of... 'This govt is out of touch'
What they are doing is willful and deliberate
They have shown time and again they don't give a shit about Kiwi folk, except the wealthy ones
It's bloody diabolical the mess they have deliberately made
You're being way to kind on them

[Ko Fella Fulla Beers Ahau🇳🇿🇺🇦🇬🇪🇵🇸🐸🐬🍉 @teesider61]

Is anyone else of the opinion that this govt is just trying to push the population as far as it can to see what they can get away with?

[Mountain_Tui @Mountain_Tui]

So Louise Upston owns a Wellington apartment but claims a $52,000 a year tax free accom allowance for the city

But she wants accommodation allowance cut for the poorest Kiwis. This is the same Upston who relied on the benefit & now maligns beneficiaries https://t.co/LXmKNl9NLP

[Ayn Randy @AynRandy666]

When these vipers got in the first thing they did was a $2.9 billion tax rebate for landlords.

Now, with a homelessness & cost of living crisis they increase social housing rents and GIVE Landlords $387 million from the poorest of the poor Kiwis.

This is OBSCENE #nzpol

BOOM!

The proposed Siren gold mine at Sams Creek in the Upper Tākaka Valley had its application DECLINED.

Another win for nature. Well done everyone who campaigned to stop this destructive mine from going ahead.

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

Latest NZ Govt announcement about state housing represents another fundamental assault on it: it was never designed as transit housing; rather it aimed to provide secure homes. That security is now under attack. https://t.co/9HbieEIwj0

The minister cutting accomodation supplements gets paid $52k in a year in public money to live in one her own homes.

FFS--if you supplied meals to a hotel and one third had to be tossed out--then you would not be in business for very long.

[Amazonia - Kaua e tautohetohe ki nga riwai @Jandal_It]

The total cost of Accommodation costs for Ministers and backbenchers is over $4.5 Million. Out-of-Wellington backbenchers claim $727,000 every 3 months just for Wellington, over $2.9 mil p.a.

Many of these people own their own homes and get paid to stay there.

[Richard Hills @RichardHills_]

Guys. They’ve fixed the economic crisis. By… increasing the font size of the English words and making the te reo Māori words smaller. It’s just what you all were hoping was a priority right now.

Imagine being new minister & this is what you think is important. How embarrassing.

[Millymolly @lorrainesplace]

The biggest accommodation supplement was paid to our Prime Minister, if I remember rightly it was $1000 per week. It was like he'd won lotto really. This very entitled man only stopped collecting it because he was shamed into it.

[Amazonia - Kaua e tautohetohe ki nga riwai @Jandal_It]

Just had a carer come in for Mum's night time support. She gets paid peanuts,plus a measly $3 for any trip under 14ks. While Upston gets $1000 for her own home and $350 a day in expenses when she travels.

There's a much bigger question about State Housing in Aotearoa. When @nzlabour
left office, Kainga Ora held a $48 Billion asset base; an asset base that belonged to the taxpayers.

@NicolaWillisMP & @cjsbishop are transferring that base into the pockets of THEIR donors.

[Sam Gribben @AotearoaSam]

I reckon the social housing lottery comment will stick with Willis for the rest of her political career, like "I'm wealthy and sorted", "I'm entitled" and "bottom feeders" has for Luxon. Historic day.

[Hayden Donnell @HaydenDonnell]

one of the major clues that social housing tenants haven't effectively won the lotto is that they need social housing

[jo @jofromgreylynn]

‘More than 5600 people withdrew money from their KiwiSaver for hardship reasons in March, up from 4750 the prior month.’

Back on track baby! https://t.co/vhhrif5dVY

[Greg at Nelson @Gregatnelson]

Speaking of laying off 9000 people from govt, why do NZ politicians get $36,000 per year contributions to Super when people on super get nothing and dont even get $36,000 per year on a pension
@NicolaWillisMP

[Sunshine @sunshinehaze1]

I remember the time Nicola Willis used the Crown Limo to take herself and her daughter to the ballet because she had never been in a Limo. I wonder if she will take her daughter to a state house so she can experience what it is like to win the Lotto.

[Millymolly @lorrainesplace]

I think it's becoming increasingly obvious that Luxon thought this PM gig would be a lot easier than it is. He thought he would be adored by the public and the media. After all he loves himself very, very much why wouldn't everyone else love him. 😏
