Totally on brand for this sicko. It reeks of trying to normalise child abuse material.

Sweet that trickle down effect will raise all boats any minute now

Trust me, I know what I’m doing youtu.be/V9qTsDg-RPo

Yes government, it needs more regulation and red tape to protect people, got it?

And Lo did the fountain of optimism spout forth

Mr Brown more than happy to take risks with other peoples sensitive medical data by sacking 50% of health IT workers, those landlord tax breaks aren’t going to pay for themselves.

By not saying what the security gaps were they’re pretty much confessing to gross incompetence.

I’d like to know where 1000 people found affordable Coramandel accommodation in the middle of summer.

Cool so only 130 years until salaries grow enough for houses to become affordable again

'Well behaved': Police, St John report quiet night as Kiwis celebrate New Year Meanwhile in unrelated news, Australian cities report a very loud night due to many more people from somewhere

It’s not NZ opting not to join the statement, it’s specifically Luxon and his coalition of wankers. #nzpol

NZ sucks at: Climate change Suicide rates Prisons Gangs Child poverty Mental health Homelessness Migration

Cool that the wealthy and sorted are optimistic

Y E S bring it on. Swarbrick described this as a "doom loop" with high unemployment and low growth leading to a lower tax take and requiring the government to borrow more to pay for the same level of services

Cutting of costs, the time honoured way to improve society

Makes sense. She doesn’t want to be publicly shamed for the destruction she caused.

A surplus is a sign of a sick economy

2030, cool let’s all live on cans of beans and have no jobs so the economy can have a surplus in five years.

Unfortunately none of these signs “the economy is turning” are related to high unemployment or cost of living which both currently suck ass #nzpol

1: crow about reducing people in emergency housing 2: homelessness doubles 3: “move on” orders

A “survey” from ACT. Gosh they seem to have forgotten “cost of living” on the list of issues that matter most. #nzpol

Yes Elon Musk it’s your DOGE work that was unpopular, not your goose-stepping nazi-saluting personality

You just know these ham-fisted Auror users are gong to ride roughshod over individual privacy

Nats shitting themselves this will damage reelection prospects

Gee they’ve solved a huge mystery, they’ve cracked the case. “Leaving for Oz: Why so many Kiwis are giving up on the local job market”

I guess if the cop wants to take your license to their car you have to hand over your unlocked phone huh.

Best approach is to buy your booze for breakfast ✌️

Richard Prebble: If the Govt will not sell ‘assets’, who pays for safer roads and bridges? The unearned wealth of the wealthy can pay, you knob.

Woman who destroyed the economy in 1991 criticises woman for only destroying 80% of the economy in 2025

When farmers and business groups welcome a reform you know it’s a right wing P.O.S.

“"It seems to me that the problem is in the sales pitch, which for the last six years has been 'here's a new tax', rather than 'this tax change will enable us to reduce income tax for the 80 percent of the population who aren't property investors'.”

Fast Track Act “I fear it is a return to days of former National Prime Minister Robert Muldoon and “Think Big”. It resembles his National Development Act, now happily repealed. For the National Party to have embraced such a discredited approach represents a new low in terms of democratic propriety.”

Really stoked to hear about all the green shoots in the economy

“Otago University public health professor Nick Wilson said the proposed cuts were "deeply worrying" at a time when other countries were gearing up public health expertise in the face of rising threats from pandemics and climate change.”

“Property investment coach Steve Goodey said he thought Auckland as probably undervalued.” Based on what? The wet dream you had last night?

Traffic chaos “fails to eventuate”. 😂 Perhaps media, people don’t have tons of money and/or don’t give much of a crap about Ikea

Spending cuts, then tax take drops? SHOCKED Willis is Ruth Richardson reincarnate #nzpol @slanecartoon.bsky.social Chris Slane said it best

Pull the other one.. the warehouse has about 1% ”local” products ”However, an ad campaign Warehouse Stationery launched across Meta in November urged people to "shop local".”

But.. but.. there are green shoots

Send billions of dollars overseas to buy fossil fuels that cause climate change - hell yeah 😀 Send billions of dollars overseas to mitigate it - oh no 😱

There is no cut to services that’s too much in the race to the bottom “We need roads, we need proper sewage, we need bridges to connect our communities. We need to make our town a place where people do want to live: I’m talking about parks, sport fields, a library, a museum.”

PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT IKEA

#davidsDogfood - the gift that keeps on giving

If I was every other retailer I’d be rampantly pissed off at all the free advertising they’re getting

“Taste test: Are Ikea‘s meatballs worth the hype?” No, they’re average at best and will no doubt be expensive.

If you want to “complicate Labour's electoral prospects” try a comprehensive capital gains tax

They’re National in a red jumper with slightly less chance of asset sales

Idly wondering if this is enough to get car worshippers onto the train.

Ok so you’d have to be living under a rock to not be aware of the US immigration nightmare

I just don’t buy these reckons that house prices will “surge” in 2026. The same reckoners reckoned they would surge in 2025.
