@saltyreigns Petrol stations don’t make money on fuel for the most part, they’ll go back to competing on headline fuel price to get people in to buy coffees, pies and cans of V. There’s no GST windfall too. Any increase on GST from fuel is offset by a drop in GST from everywhere else.

English

Malakai ™️@saltyreigns·1h

Diesel is unlikely to drop back to January prices cause fuel companies have seen that NZers will stretch to pay $4 a litre. And the govt is quite enjoying the windfall from the extra gst, which has more than doubled. Hope I’m wrong

@IrishAotearoan Why would they invite him on? It would be like inviting Ardern onto Joe Rogan. Wrong show, wrong audience, everyone’s happier.

Irish Aotearoan@IrishAotearoan·10h

Imagine working in the prime minister’s office and explaining why the current PM isn’t getting invites onto Graham Norton or Stephen Colbert. I guess it’s cos he won’t pick them up at the airport. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DUPo62…

@nicholasphilp @PoliticalNitWit By leaving a structural deficit and stagflation, yes. Labour in 20-23 pre-made all the financial decisions for the next decade, by pre-spending all the money.

@JamesHalcrow Then he won’t be PM. I’d rather risk a system where a fuckwit could become PM rather than a hereditary system tho

One amazing thing is the voyage of the Russian fleet from Europe to Port Arthur is one of the great naval epics of history. They sailed 18,000 miles and didn’t have coaling stations along the way. Britain refused to fuel them and objected when other nations did. Britain didn’t even let all the Russians use the Suez, and so skme ships had to round the Cape. The Russians bought coal from the Hamburg steamship line to keep going. It was an incredible feat of seamanship. And then the whole fleet got sunk by Admiral Togo?! What fool wrote this book?

Space Koala@SpaceKoala

Yeah, imagine one fleet was defeated and you had to rush another fleet halfway around the world into the waiting jaws of the enemy only to experience an even more crushing defeat. So unrealistic, who would write such nonsense?

@TheNzRocketeer Oh no, he’s deliberately ignoring the inconvenient ethnicities in the other government parties. You know, the “racist” ones with maori leaders.

English

The New Zealand Rocketeer@TheNzRocketeer·1d

Putting aside your racism of not considering merit above race, and wanting people selected based on skin colour. There are 4 ministers in cabinet who are Maori. Potaka, Seymour, Peters and Jones. Why are you denying 4 of them their ancestry?

Vincent Jones@JonesVincentt

There are 14 National Ministers in the cabinet. One is Māori. None are Pasifika. In Labour's top 14 MPs there are 3 Pasifika, 2 are Māori. Jo Luxton who is Māori sits at 15th. Ginny Andersen is also fluent in te reo Māori.

@Charteddaily My understanding is that a cup of tea needs approx. 2g of tea, and an NZ coffee, closer to 15g of coffee, so by that graph, there's still more tea consumed than coffee, by the cup.

Coffee has well and truly taken over from tea as the hot beverage of choice in New Zealand.
