Did you get to spin the wheel… Winston🤣

Did you become PM just to increase your wealth, implement targeted changes in tax deductions and bright lines rules to benefit personally… your fore fathers would be horrified… just like the rest of us. You make me 🤮 it’s called using your position for a pecuniary advantage, illegal me thinks, ffs!!

This is some of the advice you receive when you ask AI how to improve the economy and it’s certainly not what our govt are doing. 😱 No mention of rewarding financial supporters with favourable contracts and appointments or tax breaks for selected sectors that coincide with MP’s business activities!!

Winston waffling again.. Particularly interested in the last paragraph referring to a pragmatic approach to maintaining services during an upgrade. Result, bin the Awatere and suspend rail freight for 4 years plus! Great start!! $13.4 mill spent and… just another gravy “train”

The height of incompetence and vested interest! Peters & Willis argue 3-4bill too much for major infrastructure investment to link our 2 islands. Brown was happy to spend 1 billion on Northland roads, a coalition deal with Peters🤔 No bloody ferries ordered yet, 4+ yrs waiting! & 2yrs to get here!

The ramifications of this decision are huge… I would say brought about by a cheap skate upgrade Willis/Peters option!! No rail enabled ferry activity for 4 years… 1 less ferry for 4 years! Boy oh boy Duncan Roy, having a few sleepless nights I would imagine🙆‍♂️ www.odt.co.nz/news/nationa...

Wandered into Aussie building merchants with 2 n’s in their name here in AoNZ to buy dish washing tablets… Staggered at the blatant deception. Pack of 60, $20 Same product in slightly different packet referred as bulk value pack, 90 for $39.99 The same bullshit you see at Supermarkets, bastards!

A bit of light reading tonight… I get a very strong impression the NACT1 are currently breaching at least 7 of the 13 basis human rights in this country Certainly not government by the people for the people is it!! 1 example, political opinion… penalising the left is staggeringly obvious $$$

This article appears to contradict todays Stuff article from Glenn McConnell on MP’s salaries 🤔🤔😵‍💫https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/pay-day-for-mps-pm-christopher-luxon-to-get-50k-more-in-rolling-pay-rises-for-mps-under-remuneration-authority-decision/T7GYL7JH5ZHMTNHT6LJ5ZQTILM/

Smoke and mirrors… Peters says 2 billion taxpayer $’s will be saved with his plan! He has already stated that Hyundia break fees aren’t in his budget! & any previous money spent by Kiwirail! Peter’s your deluding yourself! www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/ports-rel...

Ive have wondered for a while over landlord interest tax deductibility🤔 Table mortgage structure, always heavily weighted interest component at early stages on repayments. Say $2000 a month in repayments, of that, $1800 is interest… Tax benefits on the $1800 would be huge, or am I imagining this

So, 18 - 20 billion offered in pre election bribes, 15 months later govt short 18-20 billion 🤔🙆‍♂️🤦 amateur accounting… So, govt continue cutting the guts out of spending, called austerity and during a recession 😵‍💫 Public health is hammered, 100’s will die… is that premeditated murder🤔 Staggering😡🤬🤯

To the Rotorua Police, this intersection has been used as a burnout pad for months, serious amount of rubber laid down and tire remains over the road last time I drive past 25/01/2025!! Get off your astonishingly inept backsides and sort it out before some unsuspecting motorists dies 🤬

Apparently, if can arrive at work quicker that’s economic growth😵‍💫 That’s up there with chocolate and paperback prices at airports and allowing tourists to work remotely while in NZ. Can’t wait for upcoming initiatives😆

Horror story for IRD / Govt… prior provisional tax payments for 24/25 year for self employed significantly higher than actual income in many cases. That converts to tax refunds in the following year. Source, playing golf with an accountant😆 1 of the flow on effects from tackling inflation!😬

Wet day activity yesterday… I busted a hard level sudoku in 12 mins & 10 sec!! A real sense of achievement 😵‍💫 I’ve always felt that if your paperback and chocolate shopping at the airport are too expensive… don’t bloody well buy them🙆‍♂️ Supermarkets , political donations, trolleys & police…. “1984”

Fascinated by the evolution of the word Preorder … to be truthful, it makes me cringe🤔🤦 Order Oxford dictionary definition as a verb 2nd def To request (something) to be made, supplied, or served. "my mate ordered the tickets last week"

Unbelievable, quite frankly, that’s appalling… Complete morons, Sue Qantas for gross neglect and endangerment. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/teen-stra... Teen stranded at LAX after flight home from student exchange cancelled

Interesting read from 2017, Key govt was an economic failure!! Surplus hunting and debt growth…! The govt haven’t learnt a damn thing, apart from blatant subversion!! The later section of this article is great reminder of the thinking of the day!!! www.donbrash.com/elocal/how-h...

I’ve always found this claim extraordinary… National suggests $740mil revenue on foreign home purchases @15%tax🤔 sales over $2mil. Wandering my fingers over the calculator, that’s $5 billion in annual sales… that’s 1000’s of properties😵‍💫 Extraordinary 🙆‍♂️ www.oneroof.co.nz/news/rumours...

Owners of the Bluebridge below …this is what Nicky “Noboats” is referring to when she suggested the govt were looking for options from the private sector!!! Dick around long enough and the Bluebridge might fill in the gaps. Prediction… Winstone will be a in a home before govt funded ferry turns up!

We can all do with a touch of escapism prior to our next submission🤦 I’ve read about “ lying flat” or tang ping in Chinese. Western equivalent “ the great resignation” This article is an interesting read🤔 www.bbc.com/news/busines...

Leading by example is a long lost concept. Respect is earnt, do unto others as you want them to do unto you… sorry, may have pinched that from somewhere 😆 www.thepost.co.nz/politics/350...

@fmacskasy.bsky.social Who would have thought road toll reduction would follow speed limit decreases … Labour actually🙆‍♂️ Are peoples lives just collateral damage with this govt’s social and economic vision 4 NZ? We have a not so slow moving train wreck unfolding again this year… people will die🤦🤬

Well, this will keep Luxon & Willis awake at night. No wonder John Key packed up and buggered off awhile ago. I wonder if our new ferries look like battleships then that’s defence spending 🤣🤔 www.nzherald.co.nz/business/fis... Matthew Hooton: Fiscal policy will push New Zealand back to China

I’d like to think this is true… more of Luxon’s wishful thinking I’d suggest… www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-great... The Great New Zealand Road Trip: Nine Questions with ... Katherine Rich

HdPA’s last article for this year may miss a significant point🤔 Heavy on slashing spending and devoid of suggestions on increased revenue. Generating tax revenue from sectors of the community that can afford it (stop whining) … it’s true! Govt is too gutless!! www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-mothe...

Following on from previous… A simple 1% sales tax on assets on homes, businesses & farms $730mil a fortnight in super unsustainable, means testing🙆‍♂️ No public servant remuneration to be more than PM Your breakfast cereal has to pay the price😬 Happy to be crucified.. just a few thoughts🧐

Tough times for our Finance Minister… predictions in the coming year Capitals gain tax and means testing Super (Sorry govt supporters) but inevitable😆 Charity taxation, in progress Indirect tax hikes. Salary caps for public servants including councils KiwiSaver support cut 🤔🙆‍♂️ and more Merry Xmas🎅

In a free and democratic society, defaming the government is the right of every citizen. In New Zealand, free speech and public debate must be "uninhibited, robust and wide open" , and it may include "vehement, caustic and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials", 🤣🤣🤣

Wakey wakey Nicola Willis , if you think 12% above private sector is exorbitant, then consider the extra level of bureaucracy involved in the Kainge Ora projects… winner winner chicken dinner, and you won’t admit it. Of course, that doesn’t fit your agenda, does it. So divisive, so manipulative,

Oops, spelling mistake in last post… or maybe Bluesky won’t let me use”X” in spelling Prime minister’s name 🤔

Chris Luzon has forwarded his letter to Santa, requesting another 12 cliches ( current set have worn decidedly thin) Santa was quick to respond… Sorry son, another piece of “Coal”ition this year! Hint, don’t be so self centred, uninspiring, devoid of empathy and focused on personal gain. Merry Xmas

It’s not difficult to be suspicious of the coalition govt attitude to the treaty principles bill. Drag this out for months and years with the ultimate goal to force a referendum. Demonise Māori in the process to garner electoral support at the next election. Encourage overseas investment,atlas plan

Just spyed the photo of our illustrious leader scurrying down the gangway in Samoa. For the sake of his jacket button I suggest he adopts the school lunch program for a few months. Trim the budget could be expanded slightly or significantly 🙆‍♂️ Could be his entitlement of course 🤔😆
