The battle isn’t over until the bill is dead and buried.

So, you know how fat balls for the birds come in elastic nets and you hang them in the garden....? Yeah, it fell down and the dog ate it. Now she's at the vets throwing it up. Damn dog! She'll be feeling very sorry for herself after this.

Explainer: Could the Conservation Amendment Bill really lead to billionaires buying up the national estate? TLDR - Yes, and corporates, both NZ based and from overseas. And did you notice DOC needing to turn a profit, like a SOE, being snuck in there? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

National party’s tagline throughout 2010s was “Brighter Future” which is where we are right now unable to afford meat and electricity. Spare me.

I've noticed two astute moves by the left recently. 1. The Greens used Infometrics to review their tax policies. No one on the right can argue against their own favourite economic think thank, can they? 1/2

The thing about universal free prescriptions is that yes people who can afford to pay get their script free to but the salient point is that those who can’t afford to pay for their script never miss out on medicine #NZPol

It's like stealing cars and selling them for parts BUT LEGAL!! 🙄🤬

Can anyone recommend a data recovery service? 🙏 🤞 RTs appreciated 👍

If your profession, or government, suddenly requires you to become MORE IGNORANT, rather than less ignorant about the reality you are existing in, that’s probably a good sign that something is really off in the world that we were all born into. Just a thought. 💭🤷‍♀️ #nzpol #NZ youtu.be/u8gIt4TRTcg?...
