We rightly lament the abject mediocrity, deviousness, sexism, entitlement and abusiveness of NZs managerial and political class, but rarely connect this social problem to the ‘brain drain’. What if we saw young people as future leaders who could do better, instead of driving them to Australia?

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that we were getting heaps of concerts coming... 🤷

Moved versus visited. A whole generation is leaving this country. 😪 Record number of New Zealanders leave country www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Only a bit longer... Green shoots are just below the surface and will burst forth any month now. Honest they will. Or the next month. Or the month after that. Or the following quarter... 🙄

At least Semour and Luxon can't go all sanctimonious on Hipkins appointing Coster. They, in turn, appointed him to the MoR CEO role. 🫩 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

We hate having our assets sold from under us. Bring it on, you idiot. 😡

And their attitude - smash stuff under urgency, because we won't be in charge anymore - just highlights the need for an #OmnibusRepealBill to undo the damage. Nothing this illegitimate regime has done can be allowed to stand. Revert it all on day one.

🔥🔥🔥

I don't care. It will lead to a further gutting of our already decimated manufacturing sector and farmers will get wealthier. There are no high paying jobs in any deal with India. Just an even faster race to the bottom. 🫩

Luxon confident trade deal with India will be reached

For those believing we’re “turning the corner” … Number unemployed, other jobless, or wanting to work more hours all at 21-yr Sept high. Total 394,000 people - with families, whānau, mortgages/rent to pay, & food to put on table. No way we should accept this as feature of economy. 💔😢☹️😠😡

The Govt quietly announced a loosening of climate rules at 8pm last night: - Decoupling the ETS from Paris - Shifting ETS resets to every 2 years - Delaying the public sector target by 25 years - Removing CCC advice from *before* emission reductions plans: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

This government wants the world to burn baby burn So long as their donors can make a few extra bucks

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

The constant "it's just around the corner" commentary on the appalling state of the economy by highly paid opinionistas is getting quite tiring. 🫩 www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Surely, we can give the celebration of a failed Catholic assassination attempt 500 years ago on the other side of the world a miss. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/fireworks...

Yes yes yes Now do WIC please

Suck on this, haters and wreckers 😈 🔥 #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

He can't shut up can he. We must ensure everyone sees the warehouse workers letter of complaint. Bayly should have been sacked for this, alone. I do wonder how many of Bayly's entourage laughed along with him.

Ummm...this is a really low bar. They have bought an existing building. 🤷

C'mon. What's wrong with regularly selling properties and profiting from with your snout in the public trough. 🤷 Luxon fires back at Hipkins for 'attack' on his finances www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This is Sunny Kaushal. The last time he was on TV lamenting crime was in 2024. The next day, Paul Goldsmith made Kaushal chair of a Crime Advisory Group. Kaushal is earning ~$1000 a day and in just 3 months they billed $500K. Retail & most violent crimes escalated. #nzpol #kiwi

It's like they are on Married at First Sight. "One-on-one time" "face time" vacuous compliments. 🤮 Maybe tariffs, definitely golf: What Luxon and Trump discussed in first meeting www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

"You're know all those things you've been repeatedly saying you want, we don't know what these are". 🙄 Strikers' demands 'a mystery', government's top negotiator says www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

failures, traitors, sex pests, bullies, fascists and cunts.

Less. Careless, hopeless, gormless and feckless.

Finish the sentence... 😃

You’re never too old to make worse friends than Slater

Why do they even pretend that they have a climate change policy? Everything is being watered down to "if you can be bothered". 😡 Climate reporting rules for large businesses to be eased www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

TBF every pay negotiation is political for public sector workers as politicians decide if they are going to fund pay increases or not in the ministries. 🫤 Public Service Minister Judith Collins lashes out at unions for 'politically motivated' strikes www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

As opposed to coordinated underfunding and poor staffing... Public Service Minister Judith Collins lashes out at unions for 'politically motivated' strikes www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Both parties are guilty of this, but classroom maintenance is BAU. Just freaking do it. 🙄

We should thank him for MMP. His government was the final straw for the electorate. Former Prime Minister Jim Bolger dies aged 90 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

He let Ruth Richardson destroy the country, and Birch screw the working class. Former Prime Minister Jim Bolger dies aged 90 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This BS drives me nuts. This charity is meant to do things "better" than struggling public mental health services, but the f@ckers clip the ticket big time. 😡😡🤮

This is some serious trolling. 🤣

You should feel threatened, Mike. They're biking naked in Portland in October in the rain. These people are fucking Terminators.

Western media has such a short memory. 🫩 Should Donald Trump be thanked for the Gaza ceasefire and hostage releases? www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

The released Israelis will go back to their homes. The released Palestinians will go home to rubble. 😩

Mind blowing. The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial. #nzpol

Once again the government panders to the lowest common denominator. No ambition. No leadership. Just caving into the demands of the greedy peak bodies. 🫩 Government lowers methane target, rules out methane taxes www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

🙄 Surely there is someone out there that can embody peace-making. Surely.

MĀORI WARDS 40% of areas chose to keep Māori wards. Some by a wide margin. A better result than I expected, given the demographics and embedded racism in our country. In areas that lost, I'd love to know whether the numbers have improved since any previous referendum. Aotearoa on the move.

Everything that makes Aotearoa New Zealand unique is related to Māori culture. Welcome to the country, that's a pōwhiri. We are gonna thrash you at sport, that's a haka. Traditional meals, that's a hāngī. Matariki that's our New Year If you don't like Māori stuff maybe you're in the wrong country?

Let the toast run milky!

Sad to see Māori wards have gone in the Hawke's Bay. Not surprised, but it is sad. 😫
