@tauhenare Now do the alleged affair between Willis and Darroch Ball. Sauce for the goose and all that.

Jade v Chippie. None of my Business. But its out there and it will have an effect. #Nov7

@farmgeek @therealgregjack Kieran doesn’t want to be leader for this exact reason. He knows what gutter journalism is and unfortunately, as much as I like the bloke, his womanising past is a problem in NZ with its victorian “marriage is sacrosanct” view. Despite Mark Mitchell marrying for fourth time.

@therealgregjack Seeing the same MO in Wairarapa circles targeting McAnulty. Hard not to see a pattern.

The Hipkins hit is going to backfire.Tears do that.

Now ask Nicola Willis about her affair with Darroch Ball.

@bryce_edwards Now do Nicola Willis and her affair with Darroch Ball.

@CitizenBomber Are they going to do the same thing to Nicola Willis, married with children, over her affair with Darroch Ball? Or is that sacrosanct because she’s you know, the minister of screeching?

The pack mentality of ripping Chris Hipkins to pieces until he cried over his children is one of the saddest days of Journalism in NZ The new evidential threshold is now whatever someone alleges on social media This is what we is now, this is what we have become #nzpol

@SerenaTNZ @carlworker Labour have disappointed in the past, and under mediocre Hipkins, I don’t have any faith they will withhold support for the FTA.

@AlecMuses @carlworker Rubbish. Labour wouldn’t agree to a shit deal . They’ve already said they have reservations.

Imagine. This was the biggest foreign policy initiative of the whole term for the PM and National. They thought that they had triumphed. It would more than make up for every other failure and indignity. And then their coalition partner went and stabbed them in the back. Even if they pass the legislation with opposition help, everyone will assume that the agreement will have to be renegotiated after the next election unless their coalition partner implodes or relents, both implausible. Why would India remain committed to such a useless outfit?

@Oldie452 Audrey Young needs to be put out to pasture. Boomer views are irrelevant now. Their world is done. They ruined it. Give it over to those who inherit the shit they caused.

without such a goodwill gesture, unions would not have been able to get employers to the table”. That’s kind of Audrey Young as she’s more often than not on National’s side given her father & brother were Nat MPs.

Audrey Young.”Willis continues to attempt to demonise the prev.Gvt as having written “a blank cheque” for the funded sector.She is referring to a decision by the prev.Cabinet to approve “in principle’ any negotiations in that sector early in the process.The reason for that is.1/2

Update: it was worse than expected.

Going back to New Zealand for a holiday in April. Fully expect it will have cemented status as overpriced upmarket third world country by then. news.com.au/travel/travel-…

Americans should be ashamed and embarrassed that they’re now the laughing stock of the world. Who the heck wants to live in the USA with a mentally defective charlatan masquerading as president.

@Michz45 Dumpin’ Dutton Wants to dump a nuclear plant in your backyard Dumpin’ Dutton Wants to dump medicare, healthcare, wage rises, ECE, public servants which all help you Dump Dutton before he Dumps on you

Don't vote these monsters in

@FlatsAll @MalachiONeill Your arguments are solely applicable to spring forward. If you want more daylight in winter after work, convince your employer to open an hour earlier. Oh, you can’t because its too dark?? Welcome to your unthought DST permanency. Standard time is better.

@MalachiONeill Chart? We like to think for ourselves. The fact is, when we FALL BACK, depression levels soar, kids have no outdoor activities after school, more accidents occur after work because of falling asleep and visual problems. These are the common sense reasons for NO MORE FALL BACK!

Lots of talk about which time setting we should be using. I'm a very visual guy, so being able to see the discussion with graphics is extremely helpful for me. This group has a lot of helpful graphics, even just to learn about the topic and understand it better. savestandardtime.com/chart/

@ohhanxiety Add 1 to 29 to make it 30 30 + 56 =86 Take off the 1 = 85

How do you calculate 56+29 in your head without a calculator? Indulge me please, I am trying to check something

@1NewsNZ With the amount of drugs available for easy spiking of food and drink i certainly wouldn’t be accepting food from strangers no matter what. Getting it direct from the provider is a different story.

A "nameless legend" spread "delicious joy" during major delays at Auckland Airport yesterday – and now, the search is on to find out who that person was. 1news.co.nz/2024/12/12/sea…

An excellent book about how the racist mindset of the USA has ensured laws protect white people and disadvantage any POC. The lessons in this book equally apply to NZ and Australia where racism is pervasive. amazon.com.au/Sum-Us-Everyon…

@PopBible1989 @AutismRonin @AriAsterStan People just have no taste.

Like seriously for those of you that don't know the second act of Wicked it's like really dumb I cannot see them making that it's own passable movie

@SunnyGrove_Dave @ajthompson13 There has been a raft of articles on interest about how this can be resolved. First and foremost, inheritance tax which Ive posted about before needs to be reinstated.

@AlecMuses @ajthompson13 Hmmm. I hear this constantly. IF you want a change in the Nat Super scheme, propose something that doesn't punish those who are now getting or about to get Nat Super, who paid for your education etc and the Nat Super of those who went before. Its not a simple problem set...

Bang on. No one wants to admit our folly and the true cost to people, their health, their future and financial cost of it. Read his last para ! stuff.co.nz/politics/36051…

@GoldenHelikaon “Uniformed profit protection officer” in Australia.

"Uniformed Loss Prevention Professional" is really what we're calling security guards now?

@jeffcthomson @Robyntwo New Zealand is an upmarket third world country.

We’re not a 1st world developed country. We penny pinch for needed infrastructure, often opting for third best, and rely on animals for our export income, while trading residential properties to each other. And the goons in Government are what keep us there.

@CathKakariki “Rail compatible” is just right wing weasel words for saying a container can be taken off a rail car and put on a truck to drive onto the ferry and then be taken off the truck and put onto a rail car at the other end.

With the New Ferries announcement imminent, Let’s not forget what the PM said a few weeks ago…… The new ferries will be Rail enabled and cheaper than $3b We’re starting on -$500m for cancelling IRex -$550m for deposit paid to Hyundai 👀🍿🚢
