@ksorbs You're confusing liberals with leftist x.com/EliottNZ/statu…

@NZNationalParty Violent criminals need to get 10x their current sentences

Labour is soft on criminals. National is tough on crime.

@DameKateePie Those white colonisers are our ancestors too…

Look at this fucking idiot. White guilt.

@NMowbray23 @NZNationalParty @actparty Someone should have gone to jail for this bs

We should never FORGET labour. Just a small fraction of their wasteful ways. @NZNationalParty @actparty 1. 18 wallabies — $2.7 million A eradication programme costing $153,000 per wallaby and 26,000 hours of labour. Cheaper to fly each one business class back to Australia. 2. Three Waters — $1.2 billion torched Spent on a policy nobody wanted, that was immediately scrapped. Included $14,500 to write a single job description for a CEO who never existed. 3. RAT tests — $531 million sitting in warehouses Costing $100,000 per day just to store. Most never used. Private businesses could have managed this themselves. RATS were also approved over a year too late. 4. Mongrel Mob meth rehab — $2.75 million Including $239K on catering, $157K on Marae hire, and $100K hiring a van. 5. Virtual job expos — $835,000 Over two years. 126 people attended. That’s $6,626 per person to attend a Zoom call. 6. Shorter shower campaign — $2.8 million Printed in 7 languages. To tell people to have shorter showers. 7. Health recruitment ad campaign — $514,000 Launched globally to attract health professionals. Result: 3 interviews. 8. Overseas recruitment ad for Kiwis — $10,000 Spent promoting Australian citizenship to Kiwis already living in Australia. 9. Wig tour — $73,000 Taxpayer money to fund the Arts Minister’s husband’s “Ulu Cavu Wig Tour of New Zealand.” 10. Abandoned China immigration office — $3 million Kept paying rent on an office that had been closed for over a year. 11.) 2.Auckland Harbour cycling/walking bridge — more than $50 million spent before the project was cancelled 12.) Auckland light rail 229 million spent wjth not a single meter of track put in the ground before scrapped. ( over 1 mil a week ) 13.Workforce Development Councils 65 million a year for bodies critics said delivered little tangible value; subsequently disestablished. 14.)RNZ/TVNZ public media merger — about $20 million spent before the merger was abandoned 15.)Let’s Get Wellington Moving — around $35 million spent on consultant fees while only about $250,000 went to actual construction before the programme was wound down 16.The Taliban publicly praised the NZ Labour government after receiving a $3 million donation framed as humanitarian aid. 17.)11. $842,000 to research ethnic women in NZ politics Nearly a million dollars to study the experiences of ethnic women as politicians within NZ’s political system. A topic that could’ve been handled with a university research grant for a fraction of that 18.).... could keep going and going.

@chris_nisbet @TaxpayersUnion Got a higher chance lowering taxes then the govt being efficient

@TaxpayersUnion I'll see your "Lower taxes" and raise you with "better spending of them".

Lower taxes. That's all. That's your tweet for this morning.

@DefiantLs People should weaponise this. Report every person I’m in the govt who opens their mouth

"Why am I in cuffs because of something he shared, then I shared?" "Because someone has been caused anxiety based upon your social media post. That's why you've been arrested." This right here should scare the living sh*t out of you. These two sentences alone. We have a lot of work to do.

@neuro_robo @matt_horncastle I tried getting off it a few years ago, they sent me a letter say they're too busy try a again later (I'm paraphrasing). This year I thought I would actually try and vote for someone who isn't racists..

@matt_horncastle True. Im NZ European Māori and I've never even considered registering on the Māori role. It's basically an apartheid system.

Most Maori people do not vote for the Maori party. It is reasonable to say the Maori party does not represent the values of Maori people.

@e_stuarto Who else to vote for, labour would have spent even more...

Why are people like Wayne Brown and Nicola Willis such enthusiastic advocates of overspending and wasting our money? Why are they so intent on not reducing the burden on us?

@plainjane130632 @NZFreeSpeech The lefts final solution

@NZFreeSpeech National wont be in govt forever same as Trump wont be potus forever. Once the left are back in they will tear down your far right zionist fascit platforms and restore actual free speech and democracy. Your eastern European overlords will be gone

“The world’s moved on, it’s obvious to everybody.”, says Minister Paul Goldsmith. The Broadcasting Standards Authority tried to regulate the modern internet using a law written before websites, social media, podcasts, or smartphones even existed. That approach was outdated and absurd. Thank you to the more than 12,000 New Zealanders who backed the campaign to put the BSA back in its box.

@plainjane130632 @NZFreeSpeech It's the same tired, condescending script we've heard for years: “The public is too dumb/gullible to handle unfiltered information.” "Without us (the regulators), disinformation will destroy democracy."

@NZFreeSpeech Allowing disinformation to run wild in Aotearoa wont encourage free speech and debate it will destroy the very fabric of it. Kiwis want media they can trust not far right conspiracies that divide people

@PeterByardDavis @ConversationEDU The whole pitch for keeping (or “modernising”) the BSA boils down to “we need to protect you from the wrong kind of information and protect the ‘fourth estate’ from… whatever.” Who want's the BSA to decided what we watch/can say on the internet... Not many NZers

"Does abolishing the BSA mean the end of enforceable media standards in general?'. It's an opportunity missed, so far. Sensible options have been put forward to get the sector updated and protect the key role of the fourth estate. theconversation.com/does-abolishin… via @ConversationEDU

@QueenAnticommie @grok Media as unilaterally decided to ignore every day heros

I actually despise the fact that ive never heard of this… did this happen @grok ?

@cyber__razz DOJ tried to ban google from pay firefox for being their default search engine, which could have lead to the end of firefox

Apparently it’s all chromium

@LibertarianGrif @DeepHumor @SentientTtv Paid by meta?

@DeepHumor @SentientTtv Republicans are trying to pass it in Missouri! x.com/libertariangri…

Do not breathe a sigh of relief if you don't live in the UK. It is only a matter of time before this spreads to more countries around the world

@DeepHumor Every device my kids use are setup by me. They're demanding ID not to protect kids, but to track the owners of the devices

@Sunkized01 These people are not showing liberal values: individual rights, free speech and limited govt. They may say they're liberal, but they're not

Sad liberals

@PronouncedHare Rubashkyn was charged with two counts of common assault, one for Parker and one for the other woman. That's the type of people who'd pour acid on a woman for speaking her mind... how about you let woman speak and NZers won't be upset

@JamesHarvey2503 @SydneyJones_ Kids use my computer/phone anyway...

Do NOT update your iphone. You will be greeted with this when you log-in. This is part of the UK governments Digital ID framework - Privacy is officially a thing of the past. Credit: @SydneyJones_

@NZMAGAMike Unless you got a spare few hundred billion, we don't have a choice but to lift it to 67 and even higher...

NZ going broke fast. But PM retirement payouts should be the same as it is for the rest of us.

We need a new bill, codifying clearer boundaries, such as a statutory prohibition on Police investigating or "advising" people over purely noncriminal speech complaints, would be a stronger safeguard. Police focus on real crime (gangs, ram raids, violent offending) rather than acting as thought police
