They never dug into:
- Kiwibuild
- Light rail to airport
- Bike bridge across the Waitemata
- Half of the Covid fund blown on non-Covid items
- The 2Billion for mental health that has literally disappeared
Shall I go on?
Labour have a track record of bs and lies when it comes to elections
@robthrills@Steve_Laws_ That would be nice. We can build a happy society anywhete. But how long will it be until your lot start screaming that the jews took the precious moon from you?
💣 HIPKINS CANNOT SURVIVE THIS!!!
New OIA papers suggest that @chrishipkins not only knew about the increased myocarditis risk of the Covid jab to youth as far back as 13 Aug 21, but at a meeting he chaired then the decision was taken to remove safety information about it from all official communications to the public.
And guess who else was at this meeting? @jacindaardern, Grant Robertson, @drayeshaverrall, @andrewlittle_nz and Ashley Bloomfield, @minhealthnz officials and Medsafe!
They ALL knowingly placed 285,000 children at risk, denying they and their parents full consent. Then to cover this up they ensured this meeting wasn’t minuted AND it was removed from their diaries.
As far as I’m concerned, they all belong in prison for risking our kids lives over a jab - but the biggest question for me is why? I don’t believe they would do this just to reduce vaccine hesitancy. There has to be more to it. It’s time for the public to know exactly what that @pfizer contract stated - and who gained from it.
Where is NZ’s MSM on this?
@nzherald@NewstalkZB@rnz_news@NZStuff@Breakfaston1
Well done uncovering what The Royal Commission and our entire MSM didn’t @KiwiAly!!!

Apparently, job losses are only a national tragedy when they happen to people with university degrees.
Over the past decade, New Zealand has lost:
• Around 300 direct jobs at Marsden Point when our only oil refinery closed. Local leaders estimate including contractors and supply-chain businesses, the loss was well over 1,000 jobs.
• Around 120 direct jobs when the Holcim cement plant at Westport shut down, with significant flow-on effects for contractors, transport operators, and the coal industry that supplied it.
• Around 230 direct jobs when Winstone Pulp closed its Karioi pulp mill and Tangiwai sawmill, along with many forestry, harvesting, engineering, and transport jobs that depended on those operations.
• Around 230 direct jobs at Kinleith Mill when paper production was shut down, affecting contractors and suppliers throughout Tokoroa and the wider forestry sector.
• Around 175-230 direct jobs when the Whakatāne paper mill collapsed, plus the contractors, trucking companies, maintenance firms, and local businesses that relied on it.
• Around 300 direct jobs when the Waimate Meat Company closed, with major impacts on livestock transport, contractors, and local service businesses.
• Between 1,500 and 2,000 direct jobs across the coal sector following the collapse of Solid Energy and the decline of mining operations, alongside hundreds of contractor jobs in engineering, maintenance, transport, and support services.
All up, that's around 3,000–4,000 direct blue collar jobs gone. Once you include contractors, suppliers, transport firms, engineers, maintenance crews, and the businesses that depended on those workers spending money in their communities, the true impact was likely somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 jobs.
Thousands lost their livelihoods. Sure there were a few stories, but they often emphasised how necessary it was for the environment or some other cause.
In many cases, the same people now lamenting public sector redundancies were actively cheering these closures on. We were told they were necessary. A transition away from unethical or dirty sectors. Progress. The price of climate action.
Workers were told to retrain. Learn how to code!!! "You just need to adapt!"
Now the cuts have reached Wellington and suddenly every redundancy is treated as a national emergency.
The same people who told coal miners, refinery workers, and mill workers to embrace change are now horrified that policy analysts, communications advisors, and bureaucrats might have to do the same.
Losing your job is hard regardless of who you are. A miner's mortgage matters just as much as a social media manager's mortgage. A forestry worker's family matters just as much as a policy advisor's family.
But the reaction over the past decade suggests many people in our political and media class don't actually believe that. To them, a blue collar worker losing their job was economic progress and necessary climate action.
A public servant losing theirs is a humanitarian crisis.
It seems that job losses only become a national conversation when they happen to people with the power to dominate the conversation.
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.

People always ask me why I follow Dan Bilzerian.
Look, when I open regular news or Jewish outlets, it’s the same old story: Jews are victims, Jews are under attack, rising antisemitism, everyone hates us, please donate.
But when I open Dan’s page? Jews run Hollywood. Jews built Google, Meta, Oracle, Warner, Disney. Jews dominate tech, finance, entertainment. We’re geniuses. We’re unstoppable!
Suddenly I feel like a badass instead of a victim.
Best Jewish motivation account on the internet.
