We don't need or want to be renters in our country. 'Public institutions' like schools and hospitals shouldn't be owned privately - Chris Hipkins rnz.co.nz/news/political…

@Robyntwo His selectively open

Lame-o Luxon is "open" to ph call discussions from countries all over the world, but closed to the needs & wants of ordinary folks here - such as a healthy food supply for kids in schools, or budget blowouts for 000's by simply buying groceries or for jobs that can't be found.

Government went against health advice to lower bowel cancer screening age for Māori, Pacific… of course they did. Why listen to advice? nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/go…

@DarrenWatson_NZ I’m so sick of this Temu PM and his devaluing of actual NZers while he tries to hock us off to his rich foreign mates. We are not collateral damage in his fantasy of being globally relevant.

Imagine taking a perfectly working school lunch system that provided local employment and nutritious food and turning it into a debacle with inedible food, late & non-deliveries, injured students, liquidated suppliers, and an option to import from Aussie - Seymour you are a cunt

@Gregrealviafone Despite F's displeasure glad everyone was ok

@firehorsemia All good morphed names for such a handsome boy

After 9 months, Pai’s name has morphed into pingle-Pai, and hence to Pombu as a nickname. Hope he doesn’t mind 😏

@NewstalkZB But they’re ok with giving taxpayers money to Philp Morris??? $200m They’re ok with giving $3b to landlords? They’re ok with giving $1b for a broken ferry contract??? GTFOH Simeon

What sort of Finance Minister talks about 'better paying jobs for kiwis' while at the same moment she plans to slash people's take home wages? Which 'kiwis' will get the 'better paying jobs'? Why so hypocritical @NicolaWillisMP?

Dann "people are seeing a message sent from the govt that someone doing a cleaning job does not deserve to be paid a living wage." Willis says that's not the message. Govt's message couldn't be any clearer. As set out by PM when he told the country.."we don't do bottom feeders"

@phil86537482 Investment might bring benefits to future generations What about those struggling now in low paying jobs but faced with high rents and still high food costs. Any thoughts about them?

We are paying for her mistakes 😡

“why the cuts were needed in this area,” “In the end, they’re our children, they’re our future. Nourishing them, looking after them, making sure they’re in a good place to access their education – shouldn’t that be an absolute priority?” newsroom.co.nz/2025/03/12/no-…

@cath_nz Awful

@Gregrealviafone Times are tough. I get it

Mediocre heat
