@magyarmig @dbseymour He's not even BBQ material.

WTF! Are those t-shirts for real? @dbseymour is NOT leadership material.

Autocorrect just changed “have a prosperous 2025” to “have a preposterous 2025” and I feel that’s much more likely.

@ancapdavid @OpinionistNZ @ChrisPenknz Why? Because you're a racist fuck with no concept of the beauty of diversity and culture? The Welsh would heartily disagree with you.

For those interested, I also declined a name change proposal of "Franz Josef" to "Franz Joseph". I realise doesn't fit the political narrative of some here(!) but my sincere view is that relatively minor amendments of long established names cause confusion unnecessarily 🤷🏻‍♂️

@EnZeddist @actparty Possibly a teenage girl someone snapchatted? His teen beat fanclub maybe?

@actparty You are really bad at this. As someone once observed, its as if this account is run by 14yo nerds, not a political party with elected govt representatives. If we were to judge this on the content of your character, then front up and own the massive fail.

ACT prefers a Santa that judges people based on their actions, not on who their ancestors were.

@KarinMary1 8% becoming 6%, 6% becoming 5%, 5% becoming gurgle gurgle gurgle, ACT down the political drain. Embrace your irrelevancy, David, your 15 minutes is up.

ACTs social media team hit a new low. And that's saying something

@ocarolant @ChrisPenknz 100%? Really? Lots of new migrants would disagree with you.

@ChrisPenknz LINZ are also actively disregarding the Govt directive to publish in a language 100% of New Zealanders understand. It appears LINZ are overstaffed with activists. There are cost saving measures for taxpayers to be made by replacing these unelected activists with AI.

@OpinionistNZ @ChrisPenknz So you can't read past a first line? It's there, so all English speakers ARE included. Are you up in arms about any other language speakers?

@ChrisPenknz I'd like to point out Chris, that you have a govt agency IGNORING the government mandate that their English name needs to come before their Maori name. Both LINZ and the Geographic Board, are ignoring the govt and using Maori first. Blatant disregard for inclusion of all NZers.

So Luxon wading in and spouting about how local councils should do things better when the national deficit (both meanings) and books are in the red till 2029. Even after they've 'adjusted' the figures!

@MariaSherwood2 Luxflakes is PM? I thought David deposed him as part of the coalition deal.

Luxon says Hipkins was a terrible PM. Knowing he's not good on self reflection, let's do it for him. How would you describe Luxon's PMship?

@inspidernz @juhasaarinen That's because we are.

@juhasaarinen The South island has always believed it is too good for the rest of us. This is probably part of the grand plan.

Are the cancelled ferries an indication that the South Island is too costly for NZ to run and should be privatised at the earliest convenience?

@RaukawaDiver If his lips are moving, I take it as read that he's lying.

Bishop talking rubbish about ferry terminals and wharves. "There was no thought that went into the project". There was an enormous amount of planning at the Picton end. The project manager is highly experienced. Bishop needs to stop lying.

@vincristine @1NewsNZ He's insane? There must be a lot of salon law breakers around because I can't ever remember having a cut and colour without a cuppa. Must be something more substantial for him to waste our tax dollars on, surely?

@1NewsNZ Why? Why?

The Government has announced a sector review into rules for hairdressers and barbers, with David Seymour saying it will seek to give the industry a regulatory "buzz cut". 1news.co.nz/2024/12/12/rev…

@nick_alldag @1NewsNZ No danger of THAT ever happening.

@1NewsNZ If Seymour said he was personally going to feed every starving child, the left would accuse him of discriminating against fat kids and of course it would somehow be a breach of the treaty

Minister for Regulation David Seymour wants to trim the rules the country’s salons must adhere to, today announcing a "short and sharp" review of the regulations. 1news.co.nz/2024/12/12/per…

@HelenaT57230672 Privileged denial that anything other than them holds any importance. Self-centred, insular, and ignorant. And the poorer and sadder for it. They miss out on so much by closing their world. They have my pity as well as my disgust.

Serious question ... Why are people racist?

@mangereman @AuntyFeeble @moon2112 @chrisluxonmp @rugbyintel Ah yeah, lots of people having work incrementally added to their daily load that is NOT in their job description and that they don't get paid extra for. This new legislation would mean people being penalized for working to rule, aka working to the letter of their job description

@AuntyFeeble @moon2112 @chrisluxonmp @rugbyintel We no longer live in the 1970s, employers get to set job descriptions. If you don’t do the work, you don’t get paid

Hi @chrisluxonmp and @rugbyintel, can you please say to me why this is being introduced under urgency? And have you considered that they might result in actual strikes, maybe not the targeted outcome?

@anni3ru0k And if that works they are refusing is unsafe? I can see all kinds of 'red tape' cutting leading to people facing financial punishment for refusing to put their lives on the line for a job.

Does this mean that Baldilocks will lose his whole salary for refusing to actually do some work, all key parts of the job?

@josievryer @SoosforPeace @actparty @dbseymour Socialism, you ignoramus.

@SoosforPeace @actparty @dbseymour Great way for capital to leave the country and business owners leaving. Typical lefty, politics of envy. Communism.

𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝘆-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 Responding to the Labour Party’s decision to charge ahead with work on a capital gains tax and wealth tax, ACT Leader @dbseymour says: “This is the same old joyless, divisive, envy-based politics from Labour. There’s no vision or future for New Zealand in dividing the pie. There’s no future in the values of dividing wealth or dividing people by wealth, we need productivity growth and wealth creation as is abundantly clear in the figures. “Labour’s basic message is that ‘your problems are caused by somebody else’s success. And if you vote for us we’ll take their wealth and give it to you to solve those problems.’ “The real solution to New Zealanders’ problems is to grow the pie with productivity growth and a celebration of success rather than a demonisation of the very thing we’re trying to create – more prosperity. “It also shows why it’s so critical to keep Labour and its allies from Te Pāti Māori and the Greens out of power. If their theatrical displays in Parliament weren’t enough, imagine them taking the same attitude towards wealth creation and the wealth that so many New Zealanders have struggled so hard to create over decades. “They rail against division, then try to pitch us against one another and tear down the tall poppies. “ACT is focused on real solutions that boost productivity and grow the pie so that there is more wealth for everyone to enjoy. We’re cutting red tape and reforming the resource management system so that New Zealanders are empowered to build and invest. We’re liberalising overseas investment rules to make New Zealand the preferred destination for ideas, investment, talent. And we’re cutting waste, making the government work smarter to do more with less so Kiwis can keep more of their own money and build a better future for themselves and those they care about.”

@josievryer @SoosforPeace @actparty @dbseymour Tax is what pays for society, good luck driving your fancy cars without the infrastructure of roads that tax pays for.

@SoosforPeace @actparty @dbseymour Tax tax tax. Any other ideas? Nope

@JoeM_NZ @actparty @dbseymour *fairer

@JoeM_NZ @actparty @dbseymour Paying the same tax as everyone else is 'just moving money from A to B' ? Yes, and it should be happening, because B is health, education, fsiere house prices and rental costs, you know, roofs over heads, that EVERYONE should have.
