@chrisluxonmp Why are the richest generation in HISTORY! getting more living assistance on top of extremely generous super??

National is helping seniors with the cost of living. Up to 66,000 more SuperGold Card holders will be eligible for rates relief from Budget 2025.

@Charteddaily Shocker!

The -38% drop in sentenced prisoner numbers from 2017 to 2022 was on a scale that hasn't been seen in 🇳🇿 for at least 80 years. It was an extraordinary experiment in justice policy.

@nettieg3 Source for $75m subsidy please??

Our hospitals are at breaking point and this useless government go and give Tiwai Smelter a 75 million dollar subsidy against advice this lot have to go.

@el_toro52 Well said!

AppleCare is seriously painful

@ClintVSmith Maybe a lack of gas has contributed to $380 prices… 🤥

@PelosiTracker_ @MatthewScarb

Just in: The Pelosi affect is officially real Yesterday news broke that she opened a brand new ~$100K position in Tempus AI $TEM Today it's up 30% Literally from the news that Nancy Pelosi is bullish

@JohnJohnminto What a loser

@chrishipkins You spent more money and hired more people to deliver WORSE results on every important metric

Fact check: In 2010 the whole of the public sector made up 19.7% of NZ’s total workforce. In 2023 it made up 18.8%. The govt’s talk of “wasteful spending” is mostly a manufactured crisis designed to justify sacking people to pay for tax cuts

@maddireidy Medium term returns outlook given debt constraints / higher neutral interest rates and impacts of more local PE competition

What do you want to know about private equity?

@1NewsNZ As weak as it comes! No ideas to help our woeful education stats, no focus on better achievement and then remove all accountability for parents.

Labour's education spokesperson says she wants to scrap charter schools if the party regains power, potentially cutting short their return to the education system. 1news.co.nz/2024/08/11/lab…

@bencoles_ What’s the venue where the photos were hosted?

Here's the new All Blacks kit (with 👍🏻 large collar) to mark 25 years with adidas. Black Ferns get the same kit (with no collar). And there's whatever Damian McKenzie is wearing.

@maddireidy Unfortunately most of the debt pay down came from shareholders with an equity raise…

Within one year at the top of Ryman Healthcare, executive chairman Dean Hamilton has: - Wiped half the exec team (CEO, CFO & more) - Paid down debt (from $3b to $2.5b) - Suspended the dividend (until at least FY26) - Canned developments (inc. selling 3 land sites) - Rolled the lawyers - Reviewing the auditors - Hired new directors outside of Christchurch - More costs are still to be cut...

@1NewsNZ Northland needs a proper road to get up there and then needs more jobs and business. Unfortunately, as a country, we make it as difficult as possible to foster any sort of job creation in the Far North. Story is similair to many rural areas

John Campbell: My pre-Budget roadie to Northland was an eye opener 👇 1news.co.nz/2024/05/25/joh…

@nz_erewego @coughlthom I can think of 15 billion reasons why this was canned

@coughlthom No, but we wouldn't have seen this cancelled I imagine? rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

Lot of people who hate the fast track legislation somehow also arguing a Labour victory in an election seven months ago would have miraculously resulted in a completed hydroelectric project and transmission upgrades to avert current electricity woes.

@bernardchickey Stewart Island power is Diesel

@NZQandA The problem is Grant, you guys could not deliver any infrastructure. Riddled by inability and incompetence. Instead all the money was spent on OPEX, so now there is nothing for anything!

"We should be using our balance sheet more and better to invest in infrastructure." — Outgoing Labour MP Grant Robertson makes the case for borrowing. 1news.co.nz/2024/03/17/gra…

@publicaddress Sir Kane Williamson!

My preferred Prime Minister is Kane Williamson.

@AT_TravelAlerts Pathetic

We are anticipating some train disruptions and cancellations throughout the day. The vast majority of our train services are still running, but please plan your journey: at.govt.nz. Western line will operate at a reduced 20 minute frequency until further notice.

@RichardHills_ Bollocks! No one is saying to cut short term benefits for temporary unemployed. But letting people sit on welfare for a decade plus with no obligations is a disgrace.

They’re going to sanction people for not finding jobs while at the same time they need unemployment to rise further to get inflation down quicker. Make it make sense.

@StevenCowan I'd prefer not to be aligned with some of these countries

Missing from the list so far are any western governments, including that of New Zealand. It appears we are now just an obliging client state of the US. #InternationalCourtofJustice
