Remember: the reason we are in this situation is because this government gave $54 BILLION over 10 years in tax breaks to tobacco companies and $2.9 BILLION over four years to landlords.

You want a revolution? Raise GST to inhumane levels of 32c. It's well known from food banks & charities that the poor are struggling now. Perhaps instead, we could abolish Treasury & use AI. Reduce gvt perks. Tax wealth & intod a CGT.

Someone is going to have to pay to keep the country's finances in order, says Treasury, and since it obviously can't be landlords or tobacco companies or the wealthy, we're afraid it's going to have to be you.

Do you know what I discovered today?? I discovered that in India they charge different GST amounts for different items. Expensive goods attract a higher GST. Do you knew what else they can do? Lower the GST charged on food items. Someone please explain why we can’t do this here?? #nzpol

#NZHistory On this day 1951 the Māori Women’s Welfare League was formed. 74 years and 1000s of volunteer hours later they've built clinics, pushed te reo in schools, revived traditional crafts, led kōhanga reo, fought health inequities, backed wāhine in business and leadership

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Muldoon will forever be NZs worst PM because he abolished NZ Superannuation in 1975. If he’d kept out of it, NZ would have a national strategic investment asset (some might even call it a Sovereign Wealth Fund) worth near a trillion dollars.

Capital Gain Tax and Wealth Tax? Hmmmmmmm?

🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. REPOST to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Yes they are!👇

A bit of hope for the timeline. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.

Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.

guys I raptured and it's awful up here. nobody's wearing any clothes and I got a cramp in my foot waiting in line to have my teeth checked by some guy called bruce. don't do it. don't rapture

"I steal the words from other the people in eight—no, nine—no, thirty—language. All equal good."

In the same speech that Trump pushed for his Nobel Peace Prize at the U.N. .. the dipshit: *Told countries they’re going to hell *Attacked countries for adoption green energy policies. *Attacked European countries over immigration Mother fucker must have thought he was at a rally..🖕🏻 #SheShed

#NZPol R. Harmen's piece is full of, rustlings about leadership change, look what the Curia Poll says! This could be a 1 term government & this beauty: "Very few National MPs ever bother to give any impression that they actually like the Prime Minister or even hold him in particularly high regard."

See? SEE??? Some folk in Aotearoa NZ have been yelling this at us since 2020, some even earlier, but they were the ones denounced as conspiracy nuts by, guess who, the Right

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Have money, get a discount off your sentence for giving a mere pittance of it to charity. So, if you are rich in NZ you not only get name suppression, you can also buy yourself a reduced sentence even for extreme examples of child pornography. That’s not fair. So which very wealthy family is it?

Make it make sense. Autism was first discovered in 1911, and Tylenol was introduced in 1955.

Abolish ICE

New in PN: Trump posts his Watergate tapes "People! The man literally used his social media platform to tweet out a demand that his attorney general prosecute his opponents, ones he’s already characterized as 'guilty as hell.' This isn’t 'venting.' It’s criminal."

I'm glad Jimmy Kimmel is back.

Oh, fuck. Did he really say that? I don’t know what is real anymore. I’m beginning to doubt that I am even real, because reality is becoming so stupid, it’s hard to accept anything at face value. I’m so tired of this.

here's my organising 101 find a local thing that needs fixing plan how to fix it ask if anyone wants to help fix the thing repeat we need it to be this simple to start with because in NZ our civic frameworks continue to be hollowed out. Connect in your communities, bond over jobs done well

Thread. Doctors' strike.

All headlines just from today 🇺🇸

The censorship and the violations of freedom of the press by this regime are unprecedented in our modern history.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

We do not generate more income as a nation by giving tax cuts to land lords or tax breaks for billionaires selling heated tobacco products - instead we generate inequality and deplete health #WrongTrack #nzpol

#nzpol Do we have to do this all the time? beehive.govt.nz/release/20-mil… It’s not new funding. “the initiative will be funded from Health New Zealand’s baseline”. So it’s actually being cut from somewhere else. We already underfunded the health system at the Budget. This is a further cut

PSA: Thinking this is wrong doesn’t make you a “radical” — thinking it isn’t does.

The secretary of lying thinks we are all morons and acts like we didn’t all see Brendan Carr with our own eyes

The Green Party, famous for *checks notes* hating gardens! Couldn't make these people up, where do they get it from? #NZPol

Gavin Newsom: "I'll be signing a bill, the first in the nation, saying enough to ICE, unmask. What are you afraid of? You're going to go out and you're going to do enforcement? Provide an ID.Tell us what agency you represent."

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

RFKjr is deliberately trying to cull Americans in large numbers. Scientific and rational thought can reach no other conclusion.

lol they really done fucked it huh?
