This has been the song on repeat since 15 Sept 25 for me. I randomly heard it and cannot stop listening to it everyday. I cry every time and can barely sing along. youtu.be/OP-00EwLdiU?si…

@TaxpayersUnion ANYTHING TO TAX PEOPLE MORE. so tired of this BS. We already are paying way too much

Researchers are calling for a “ute tax”. They argue — utes produce more air pollution with research suggesting they cause higher health costs and are more likely to be involved in fatal accidents. Those against it argue — utes are essential for many tradies, farmers, and businesses, and a tax could unfairly penalise people who rely on them. What would you argue? 🛻 Let us know!

@Slothnewbie Ugly face

Your biggest achievement was being Uber for Jesus… relax

@Nickisbackbaby @trunkincrisis 🤷‍♀️

I dare you to share a joke as bad as this? Why don't elephants use computers? Because they're afraid of the mouse! 🤣🤣

And there’s a lot more than this. This deal means we can sell more of what we’re great at - seafood, forestry products, wool, coal, iron & steel, industrial products, mānuka honey, and bulk infant formula. It means more jobs on farms and orchards, more money coming into local communities, and more opportunities for Kiwis to get ahead. Fixing the basics. Building the future.

@MbarkCherguia I had to mute the vid as I was 🤏🏻 close to smacking her with all those chewing noises. My holy cow.

Do men out there think this is catfishing?

@HerbsandDirt 🙄

I don’t follow Candice Owens. I’ve never watched one of her shows in its entirety, ever. Yet Erika Kirk niggles my spirit more than any person ever has in my lifetime. Not everyone who questions her motives & actions even likes Candace Owens either. Being a widow doesn’t make you a good person. I hope that helps.

@actparty You put this out but yet support the Indian FTA which allows half of india to come here? How does one talk to the other? or is this only to limit immigration from everywhere but india?

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 ACT is announcing new policy to make immigration work for New Zealand. One that welcomes people, but only if they share values of tolerance, freedom and democracy, help build infrastructure, and play by the rules. “New Zealand is a settler society. From those who arrived in open boats 700 years ago, to those who arrived at Auckland Airport this morning, our country has been built by people willing to make a journey to try and build something better,” says ACT Leader David Seymour. “Immigration has enriched New Zealand. In less than 200 years, New Zealand has gone from a series of isolated villages, to a network of modern cities connected by road, rail, air, and sea, with electricity, the internet, and the three waters. “Each wave of settlement has also built the Kiwi character that is respected around the world. Kiwis are recognised in everything from business to sport to peacekeeping as resourceful and thoughtful, firm but fair people who keep their word and can fix anything. “Today, Kiwis who are proud of our settler heritage are asking themselves why something doesn’t quite feel right with immigration. ACT believes their suspicions are correct. “Successive governments have let a skilled-migration system become a general-purpose labour tap. They have failed to enforce the rules they set. They have allowed infrastructure to fall further behind. And they have asked too little of people who want to benefit from the Kiwi character without supporting it. “The rate of settlement has overwhelmed the ability to provide infrastructure. Dunedin took 180 years to build, but we add the population of Dunedin in a couple of years while we struggle to build a hospital in Dunedin itself. “We are told that the immigration system is a strict one focused on delivering the right skills to New Zealand. On paper we do have a strict system, but even those who want to believe that cannot see it. Too often they shake their heads and ask, if we have a system targeting skilled migrants, how did a guy who can’t even find an address on GPS get here? “We recognise there are different issues in urban centres compared to rural New Zealand, where populations are lower and it’s a lot harder to find people willing to get up first thing in the morning and do a hard day’s work on the farm. “ACT’s policy restores the basic bargain that New Zealand was built on. People are welcome here if they contribute, respect our democratic values, and help build the country.” ACT’s six-point plan is: 1.⁠ ⁠Deport serious offenders ACT will ensure Resident Visa holders convicted of offences carrying sentences of 10 years or more can be deported no matter how long they’ve been here. This goes further than the Government’s current proposal to extend liability to 20 years. 2.⁠ ⁠Skilled visas for skilled jobs Accredited Employer Work Visas are meant to fill crucial skills gaps, but too often the gaps close and the categories remain wide open. ACT will have each skill category automatically expire every year. To remain open, they would need to show up-to-date evidence of demand. 3.⁠ ⁠Opportunity, not dependency ACT will introduce a five-year welfare stand-down for all residence class visa holders. That means no jobseeker support, accommodation supplement, or income-tested benefits for a migrant’s first five years here. 4.⁠ ⁠A fair contribution for infrastructure ACT will introduce a $6 per day infrastructure surcharge on temporary work visas, on top of existing charges. This ensures migrants contribute to New Zealand’s infrastructure from day one, before they start paying tax. The fee is expected to raise around $80 million a year, while remaining more affordable than comparable visas in Australia and the United Kingdom. 5.⁠ ⁠Stronger English language requirements ACT will extend basic English language requirements to all AEWV types. Lower standards will still be permitted for seasonal workers. 6.⁠ ⁠Enforce the rules There are 20,980 known overstayers in New Zealand right now. ACT will establish a dedicated overstayer enforcement unit within Immigration New Zealand. Platform employers such as Uber and DoorDash will be required to verify and report work rights. Employers who facilitate overstaying will lose their accreditation. Mr Seymour says the policy is designed to rebuild confidence in immigration by restoring fairness and accountability. “People are rightly cynical about politicians promising to slash migration numbers. In 2017, Labour campaigned on reducing net migration by 30,000. NZ First campaigned on reducing net migration to 10,000. The rest is history. “The two parties formed a Government, and after two years of their Government net migration had risen to 80,000. If it wasn’t for COVID closing the borders, they would have held the record for migration under one Government. “We need an immigration system that recognises New Zealand’s heritage as a nation of settlers. We need new migrants to grow and develop, but that migration must work for New Zealand. “Success requires a common set of expectations; respect our freedoms, uphold our democratic values, contribute to infrastructure, speak English, obey the law, and fill genuine gaps in the economy.”

Turns out Rocky was a pretty good name. The comeback is staggering. This will make you beam from ear to ear I promise by the end of the video. Next week is all about his eyes. Step by step 🤞

@_sorrengailll And that is why I sail

Why do I have to rent a movie on prime if I already fuckin pay for primeeeee

how did humans find us on twitter

@gaye_ess Is there any any way out of this?

Read all of this and let the despair sink in. Luxon has signed the end of NZ as we have known it. #nzp

@Chesschick01 Mine too 🤣🤣🤣 I’m loving it. I keep adding more! Much better than all the BS generally going on!

I am no longer in control of my timeline. It was taken over by animals.

@babybeginner I love it 🤣🤣🤣 my whole timeline is just ALL the different animal accounts. I have been giggling the whole time.

@PolitiBunny @DrunkRepub You are insulting cat pee

If cat pee had a face

@rawsalerts He can go suck on satan owens toe fungus seeing as he loves her so much. Stupidity loves evil

🚨#BREAKING: Watch as Alex Jones signs off from Infowars after 27 years on air, delivering a final, defiant farewell saying We commit ourselves to God in this holy fight. We are committed and if God stands with us, who can stand against us? God bless you and let the real war begin.

@the_salty_one_ Well give it a year and we will be almost on par. Unfortunately gov has screwed us big time and seemingly nothing we can do about it.

This is England. Don't let NZ end up like that shithole.

@RyanHendersonNZ @2ETEKA @NZNationalParty Even if it’s their end though what difference does it make? This is basically a done deal? So frustrating that we cannot do anything to stop this

This is the death knell of @NZNationalParty. UNDRIP, uncapped H1B-like visa, Digital currency, uncapped international students, NZ$34B FDI in India or clawback of benefits, NZ horticulture forced into commercializing future Indian competitors, Don't let the door hit you on the way out👋

🚩Surprise. Not really. NZ has Agreed to implement a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) with India with interoperability between countries. The lead negotiator for Luxon’s Indian FTA just happens to be on the steering committee for the WEF’s Climate change net zero initiative. Explains a lot. Also in clause 8A Annex : Financial services, NZ has agreed to ensure we can transfers of remittances to India in real time, to suck money out of our country as quickly and cheaply as possible (read quoted posts below). NZ will also build interoperability of financial surveillance measures, and open our electronic systems to India’s digital payment system - NPCI National Payment Corp of India and the Unified Payment Interface (UPI), which is the largest channel and platform for financial fraud in India. It is also linked to India’s Digital ID system (called Aaghaar). Reading the related digital, finance clauses it’s obvious that National have agreed to let India deeply imbed themselves in the digital trust services framework aka build and then administer our digital prison. Wow. Who would have guessed! You are welcome. mfat.govt.nz/assets/Trade-a… mfat.govt.nz/en/about-us/ou…
