@TheZeitgeistNZ We have a lockdown lover. Wants government to tell him what he can do and when he can do it. 🙄

WATCH: Hipkins suggests encouraging people to work from home, subsidising public transport and providing income support to people on low incomes to address the fuel crisis.
Personally I think working from home is a no brainer and something we should be encouraging anyway (commuting to an office is an anachronism like the horse and cart given today’s technology). There could also be merit in encouraging public transport uptake depending on how it is done.
On the income support, we really need to be careful how we do this - it should be minimal and targeted to those that really need it. Overall we need to be reducing government spending not increasing it…we are already lurching toward stagflation territory.

@kevorkian82 You sound like you think all businesses are doing well and the GST claims only add to that.

There is something seriously wrong when schools are being made to feel like criminals for giving away surplus lunches to people who actually need them.
Let’s be clear about what we’re talking about here.
Leftover food.
Food that would otherwise be thrown out.
Food that could help a whānau get through the day.
And somehow, that’s being framed as if it’s the same as shoplifting?
That’s not just misguided — it’s completely out of touch.
We are living through a cost-of-living crisis where petrol is through the roof, food prices are climbing, and more families are doing it tough. Every day, I see it. People are stretching meals, skipping meals, and making impossible choices just to get by.
So if a school has extra lunches at the end of the day, why on earth would we not want that food going to those who need it?
Most New Zealanders would say exactly the same thing — better in the hands of a whānau than sitting in a bin or being fed into pig buckets.
Instead, we’ve got a system that is more worried about rules than about people.
This is what happens when decision-makers lose touch with the reality on the ground.
Common sense should prevail here.
Feed people. Support whānau. Stop criminalising compassion.
Because right now, it’s not the schools that look bad — it’s the system.

Greenpeace vandalised Chris Luxon’s Botany office by plastering it with pictures of Donald Trump and American flags. Looks pretty good really!

Doctor: "Your cholesterol is high. I'd like to put you on a statin."
Patient: "What does high cholesterol actually mean for my risk?"
Doctor: "It increases your risk of a cardiac event."
Patient: "By how much?"
Doctor: "Significantly."
Patient: "But how much, specifically?"
Doctor: "Your LDL is elevated."
Patient: "The absolute risk. What is it."
Doctor: "Statins are very well studied."
Patient: "I'd like the number."
Doctor: "Some patients experience muscle pain, memory issues, and elevated blood sugar..."
Patient: "That sounds like the treatment."
Doctor: "These are rare."
Patient: "What's the absolute risk reduction?"
Doctor: "I have a leaflet."
The leaflet is provided by the pharmaceutical company.
The leaflet does not contain the absolute risk reduction.

@anuragkejriwal8 @Only1Tommo96 Incorrect in your world of thinking. They are 12 points ahead, technically, as Arsenal’s next game is before Man City’s.

@Only1Tommo96 Arsenal are 6points ahead technically as ManC still have a game to play

🚨When Arsenal could win the Premier League. 🏆 👇
If Arsenal keep winning and the gap stays large, the earliest realistic game they could clinch the title is:
🗓 2nd May Arsenal vs Fulham (home)
Why:
•Arsenal currently have about 70 points while Man City are roughly 9–10 points behind with a game in hand.
•Arsenal need to reach 86 points to make it impossible for City to catch them (based on maximum possible points).
If Arsenal win these matches:
1. Bournemouth
2. Manchester City
3. Newcastle
