Politics, I hear you ask? Why, yes. Under this fossil fuel-driven government, every inch of bike lane constructed and every bike ride is an act of rebellion.

People seem very squeamish about taxing billionaires, and now we're seeing suggestions of a trillionaire When you look at it as a number, you won't feel as squeamish A billion $1,000,000,000 A trillion $1,000,000,000,000

"All of the economists I speak to..." say we're recovering says Nicola Willis. Brad in person, Brad on the television AND Brad on the telephone then? Amaaaazing🙄 "Jobs are always the last to recover..." she continues, having presided over a Govt that *sacked 1000s without good reason*.

Treasury has tunnel vision. As a sovereign nation we print our own money. A wealth, inheritance & CGT b4 one more asset sale. Make Treasury redundant & save $43.6m per year.

I'd replace the word "gullible" with complicit, or corrupt. My honest opinion is that there is money going into pockets or campaign funds. And I would love a criminal investigation into the current government. Wanting to give $ to yet another company with a history of corruption.

‘Experts’ on saving for retirement in New Zealand never talk about low wages or extortionate rents and childcare costs. Telling people to save, while supporting the status quo that makes it impossible really grinds my gears.

The direction where this administration wants to take our health service in its next term is clear. This should be central to the next election campaign. But if clickbait nonsense continues to prevail, the outcome is unlikely to be welcome by many💔.
