Livin’ my best life downunder - learning from my kids every day. My Twitter feed an endless source of amusement and outrage.

@ajthompson13 Alisdair would have you believe it’s an NZ thing.
Don’t be like Alisdair, everyone!

@SenFettermanPA @GovMikeHuckabee You win Twitter today. 🔥🔥

@fasc1nate $70,000 each?
In the 1970’s?
When the list price in 1975 for the 164 was $6,995?
If I was North Korea, I wouldn’t pay for them either

@VigilantFox @P_McCulloughMD Yay, let’s hear it for polio, smallpox, diphtheria, cholera, measles and rubella!
What a time to be a mortician

@ajthompson13 @MutchJessica @TVONENZ Not sure if she was looser or tighter, but the loser was definitely the leader of the opposition

@ibdxqueenstown Do you want 100k immigrants to fill the workforce and stimulate spending, or do you want to reduce inflation?
The two would seem to be mutually exclusive

[jef kay @jefkay]

@Joseph_Davieson @Jandal_It @RichardHills_ Regarding debt, Google “comparative advantage” then come back and tell us what you’ve learnt

[jef kay @jefkay]

@Joseph_Davieson @Jandal_It @RichardHills_ Not sure what the gif relates to, but our annualised GDP growth and current inflation put us in the top quartile of the OECD.
Our govt debt to GDP ratio is 4th lowest in the OECD.
Facts are hard, but don’t be a snowflake

@chenweihua Did he mention the Uyghurs?
Neither did you.
Maybe stay in your lane.

@RA_Plunk @TheClassicPhil @JoJoFromJerz Oh, so a selective “Woman’s Right believer”.
A fine example for those children you reference in your bio.

@J0HNWEST3 @Elizabeth_USA27 @chrishardman @HawleyMO I can help you there, John.
Your US Defence Department places orders with the US defence industry for equipment and munitions.
These are shipped to your Armed Forces.
The US Military then sends mothballed equipment and end-of-life munitions to Ukraine.

@MedvedevRussiaE Well German aircraft aren’t falling out of the sky, so there’s that

@MayoIsSpicyy That’s a follow

@JG_moves_NZ @ibdxqueenstown @AklCouncil You had me with the potential rateable income from that $B development!

[jef kay @jefkay]

@JG_moves_NZ @ibdxqueenstown @AklCouncil minimal capital tied up in it - 45+ years of depreciation, they’ve owned the land for more than 50 years, they don’t have capital to redevelop it into any other use, and the one-off return from selling land + business would save debt interest that’s probably less than the income

@jennymeyer43 @ZealandEarly @bryanferry @NeilFinn @AudioCultureNZ INXS were no-shows from memory, Jo Jo Zep and Cold Chisel were standout, and The Knobz were unexpectedly good.
Finn and Split Enz of course smashed it

[jef kay @jefkay]

@RyanAFournier @MarkCurmudgeon Google “easement” and come back and tell us what you’ve learnt.
I can help you with the long words

@ibdxqueenstown The US debt grew $7T under the former guy, and at least that amount again so far with the current guy.
Not sure anyone over there has fiscal sobriety
