@viewspotnz No it’s a reflection of the fact you have totally wrecked the very fabric of our identity as the New Zealand I used to be so proud of to call home

@chefsevenn we went hungry

@ronsterd89 nothing

@SandeChin @kaymcintyre60 @JeevesPonzi @Wildnfree1984 Couldn’t agree more Sandy just breathing isn’t living

On my personal perspective, I have a time when I don't consider being alive as living. As long as I can care for myself I am happy to live. I refuse to go into a home or have someone in to shower me or feed me. When I can't care for myself my life isn't my own anymore. To me dignity is sacrament to my life.

I thought that assisted dying was for terminally ill people who had no quality of life. This seemingly spritely 94 year old grandmother from HB who is carrying buckets whilst doing her gardening, manages a little jig to whilst listening to her grandson’s bagpipes.

@Kiwi_006 @Infideliter2022 Yes we are ridiculously top heavy with useless bureaucrats

@2ETEKA @Wildnfree1984 I am an Act voter and you’re right this is not good at all

🚩Astonishing. Must watch. Yesterday Laws dismantled Seymour in an interview, and the Act leader completely threw his toys out of the cot. Laws asks Seymour why he didn’t bother reading the Indian FTA before agreeing to support it, an agreement which re-affirms Paris obligations - but also - UNDRIP, which spawned co-governance and has been weaponised by the left & the judiciary. Seymour’s response? “ It was too big to read so I did my due diligence by asking McClay - there’s no naughty bits in there right?” David it took me seconds to use Grok to find those clauses, hell you could even use CNTRL + FIND on word to find it. His excuse is laughable and non serious. He then infers “yeah it’s bad but it’s done now, don’t worry about it” yeah nah David, this is EXACTLY how bad legislation and nasty fish hooks like Treaty Principles got into legislation (which NZF are now finally with great difficulty able to review and remove). The whole “yeah we put this in there but it doesn’t mean anything” argument by lazy or duplicitous politicians has caused extensive damage to this country, What is TRULY amazing is how Seymour readily throws his constituents on the garbage heap, and then gets bitchy at Laws for bringing up “I’m not going to talk to you again” he pathetically snaps. He even channels Chloe by asking Laws to ‘Zoom’ out. Winston Peters, and important figures to Act : Don Brash, Elizabeth Rata, Gary Judd QC all have spoken out how reckless and dangerous these clauses are. These are iconic Act supporters. Seymour has shat on them, and Act voters. Seymour says “They are being pedantic” and dismissed their concerns. This is a senior Politician elected on a platform to stop this garbage saying “shut up and don’t worry about it” If you are an Act voter, you should be enraged, and looking elsewhere to park your vote.

@Suitandtie9999 morons the lot of them

Labour’s finance spokeswoman Barbara Edmonds has dropped an absolute clanger. She claims Labour’s ‘Future Fund’ is modelled on global examples, boasting: “For example, Canada has just released one in the last two weeks and the results and experience they have is that it does support job creation.” Yet when Thomas Coughlan asked about using the Canada Strong Fund as a comparison for job numbers, Edmonds suddenly backflipped — saying it can’t be done because their Fund was only launched two weeks ago. It gets worse. There is zero independent economic modelling, multiplier analysis, or project-specific job forecasts for Canada’s $25B Fund. So how exactly is Edmonds citing ‘results and experience’ that don’t exist?

@Wired__One @DonaldWShimoda Agree slash and burn, we are disgustingly top heavy with bureaucracy

It is not the governments job to keep people employed by the state & on the taxpayer teat, just because. Taxpayers money needs to be respected & spent wisely always. Our public sector should be as lean & efficient as possible. How is any of this a radical concept in 2026?

@nzpoliticsgroup @Mark47723848 Agree absolutely it’s mind blowing how far we’ve fallen

EGGS ON TOAST ALERT - CAFE EXTORTION 🚨🚨🚨 Yes, you read that correctly. Two miserable poached eggs on toast now cost a jaw-dropping $18 in New Zealand cafes. EIGHTEEN DOLLARS. This country has officially become a dystopian rip-off. A nightmare for anyone trying to survive day-to-day. Everything is exploding in price — rent, power, food, fuel — and now they’re charging luxury rates for basic bloody breakfast. Kiwis are being absolutely fleeced, broke, busted, and disgusted. “The land of milk and honey” ? What a disgusting, delusional joke. It’s the land of milk and daylight robbery.

@Media58Bias @MarkHubbard33 @chrisluxonmp @winstonpeters @dbseymour Want to win the election , then sort out this arsehole making a laughing stock of the word charitable in this country

Tamihere's Waipareira Trust is a disgrace. $94M in revenue from taxpayers & still funnelling money into political campaigns, giving themselves huge bonuses & dodgy loans. How much more taxpayer $s are we going to waste on this? The govt needs to cut off funding & sort it out!

@GPAIndiana never ever gave any of that a thought at the time, 😂

If you grew up using a phone booth, you're basically indestructible. We stood in a glass box that smelled like cigarettes, mystery cologne, and bad decisions.. holding a receiver that had been licked, sneezed on, and probably survived three decades of flu seasons. Honestly, if you made it through that era, your immune system has a black belt and a side hustle. 📞😂

@kiwiwayne4 Style,😂😂😂 yeah right

@SandeChin @OpinionistNZ Couldn’t agree more Sande

@OpinionistNZ National's big mistake getting rid of him.

Best Headline of the day.

@2ETEKA @MikeNewZ_ Read the room Sam. you are in a minority

Bone head Nat MP for Tauranga Sam Uffindell follows Luxon’s indian worshipping script. Another National idiot who needs to be binned. Sam says he’s sick of Indians being slagged off. He says that Indians are an “inspiration to New Zealanders”, and any NZ’s with concerns are those who don’t want to work 3 jobs, seven days a week 12 hours a day. “NZ’ers don’t want to work hard”. Yeah we don’t want to work 3 jobs, 12 hours a day Sam you dope. He’s so retarded he doesn’t understand that this is insulting to kiwis, National want us to all live like 3rd worlders, and if you don’t want to - then you are the problem. Look its clear, Uffindell was smeared with to the whole school bully story, it’s obvious he clobbered himself over the head with a bed leg, which explains why the guy talks like he’s had a lobotomy. Sam says the NZ welcomes all Indians to NZ and we love all of them. How many Indians work under the table Sam? I’m telling you know - THOUSANDS. You bring in scores of poor people from a highly corrupt country with a culture of scammery and dishonesty guess what happens. NZ is quickly moving from a high trust society to a low trust shit hole. P.S : The Indian fraudsters below are all from Sam Bonehead’s neck of the woods.👇 Ajaypal Singh — Sole director/shareholder of Saran Contracting Ltd and Gurukirpa Contracting Ltd (kiwifruit labour contractors) more than $57 million in unpaid taxes (mainly GST and PAYE). This is one of the largest single business tax-related collapses in 2025, paid himself millions left the country. Amandeep Singh — Sole director/shareholder in Bay of Plenty kiwifruit labour contractor/recruiter). Company liquidated in 2026 with 2 million owed to IRD and staff Harbhajan Singh Kahlon — Director of a kiwifruit labour contractor. GST-related fraud and PAYE evasion charges (total tax evaded >$700,000) used sub-contractors as “invoice writers” in an elaborate scheme. Gurpreet Singh — Bay of plenty orchardist (kiwifruit/horticulture, arrived on a student visa). Sentenced in Tauranga District Court for evasion charges (total ~$683,000–$700,000)

@HemmerleinLee yes 😄
