Breaking: Government considering 3.8% cut in public service numbers. Everyone with a surname beginning with "A' will be fired.

Google legally paid just $4.6 million tax for 2025 on $1.44 billion of revenue. Public service cuts anyone?

@rodemmerson What's so f...? Oh I see. Brilliant.

[Dave Armstrong @malosilima]

@AotearoaSam @liamvincent26 Yep. Liberals doing it in Oz, Labour trying it on in England, all with disastrous consequences.

@ponekeben The Artful Dodger called to say Fagin would be late.

[Dave Armstrong @malosilima]

@we_dollar Possibly. But I do remember how touchy Winston and Seymour were around each other and everyone gave them six months max.

[Dave Armstrong @malosilima]

For nearly two and a half years the squabbling amongst the coalition that all the lefties predicted would happen didn't happen. But it seems as if the gloves have just come off. Is National going to rerelease Winston's super details?

Breaking: In the great tradition of Norman Kirk's 72 Labour government 5 National MPs have um volunteered to join the French/British mission to the Straits of Hormuz.

@ponekeben Onya. Yes, they don't make it easy. I do remember the days when as well as fantastic concerts, the Town Hall had public meetings, award ceremonies, public talks, balls, school prizegivings and the like. It was an affordable venue to hire. Perhaps Wellington needs a Town Hall?

Google translate: What's the Samoan translation for "I'm entitled to my title?"

[Dave Armstrong @malosilima]

@henrycooke @ponekeben Fair point. I just wish the ones that are there didn't run out of juice in the late afternoon/early evening as much as they do.

[Dave Armstrong @malosilima]

@ponekeben Cheers for that. Looking forward to limeing
