@Bluebyyou66 @NZQandA @nzlabour He is actually talking about taxing the most unproductive like Landlords.

@NZQandA I wouldn’t waste a sec of my life listening to chippy whine. @nzlabour will tax tax tax the most productive, driving them & their money off shore, turn NZ in Sth pacific basket case and waste the remaining tax payers money until the well runs dry. I miss anything? #nzpol

Government spending, debt, and tax revenue will all need to increase says Labour's Chris Hipkins, though his party still hasn’t set a specific policy on how that could happen. Watch his full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=5umufC…

@Newtownmum @MariaSherwood2 Willfully ignoring that some rules are impossible to meet for those who are too unwell to meet them (people on Supported Living, and Disability have new requirements also). They do not apply on a whim, they apply so they have the basics to survive.

@MariaSherwood2 Living in society requires adhering to rules. Requiring people who are receiving funding from the taxpayer does not seem outrageous. Workplaces, shops, service providers, schools, places of worship, healthcare providers all have rules. If you don't like it, don't apply then.

Just watched the presser. When Upston was asked what the people that have had their benefit cut completely are doing to live her answer was 'no idea' could have added 'don't care' by the tone of her voice. Why not get one of those guns McKee loves and just kill them? Sorted

@stvnce @autumn__brown The media seems to have not picked up on it yet, but people who are Supported Living will be targeted as well. To get Supported Living, people have to be pretty unwell.

@autumn__brown those of you saying "get a job" in the comments don't realise that the "jobseeker" support is now the overarch of pretty much everyone on MSD. Disabled people, People that genuinely cannot work due to injury, People who have life long illnesses. Kindly fuck off.

3 things: 1) having 1/2 your payment be put onto a payment card that can only be spent at a very short list of places, what if your rent is more than half your WINZ payment? 2) this is just going to increase crime and homelessness 3) ‼️STOP SANCTIONING PEOPLE TRYNA SURVIVE‼️

@publicaddress While the focus is about the Jobseeker Benefit, under the radar they have also added people on Supported Living to the list of obligations. To get Supported Living people have to be pretty unwell, to the point they will be set up to fail.

Luxon says the "vast majority" of NZers on the jobseeker benefit are properly looking for work – as he introduces a bit of get-tough theatre that will hugely increase admin and chances of things going wrong for them too. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/pm…

@SoxMonster1 @publicaddress A fraction of the minimum wage is not the same money. It is a shame people like you have to make stuff up to justify your need to kick people while they are down

@publicaddress Why clean toilets or wash dishes when you can stay home and drink piss or smoke pot for the same money!

@HulkRoganUSA @davelalande @WIRED Says the cultist that ignores facts that do not suit you

Imane Khelif has always defined herself as a woman, and has every right to compete—no matter what J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have to say about it. wired.com/story/imane-kh…

@EddyToreez @ClintVSmith Judging by the blatant lies and hate you spew, I'd say a woman is a person that covers her drink whenever you enter the room. Let's stop pretending you really care about the answer, as it is clear facts don't matter to you.

@ClintVSmith What is a woman Clint can you answer that

@tibouchina47 @politicalrod If the country is so "broke" why is it that National can afford massive tax breaks to Landlords?

@politicalrod It was actually under the Labour Party I had to pay, the same outfit that left the country broke.

@ankkush40975 @CitizenBomber Have you considered that many Parents fall into hard times AFTER they have kids? People's situations change. It's a shame even basic reality is lost on people like yourself who in your keeness sneer at those down on their luck.

@CitizenBomber Why do we think the government needs to take care of the children? If you can’t afford to feed them roof them clothed them then keep your legs closed!

Government resets child poverty targets to allow 17 000 more children in hardship – this is what we are now | The Daily Blog buff.ly/4fhIdze #nzpol

@mawnx @CitizenBomber Bad luck happens. Parents can fall into hard times even when they do everything right. Your attempt to ignore these basic realities to justify your need to kick people while they are down is a special kind of nasty.

@CitizenBomber Those parents are the ones putting children into poverty

@RupertNZ07 @foo_4_thought @ForsmanTrish Standing up to divisiveness does not make them divisive, no matter how much you try to project your flaws onto others.

@foo_4_thought @ForsmanTrish 💯 another grubby tweet from the divisive left 🤦‍♂️

This is Aotearoa.  We have nothing to fear from Māori doing well – and we have everything to gain.   Our future belongs to everyone, and everyone deserves to be a part of it.  No one should be othered.  Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.  waateanews.com/2024/07/28/spe…

@Boodro79 @EdKrassen Nice attempt to attack the messengers when you cannot counter the facts. Trump would be proud of you.

Pete Buttigieg is so good at this. I love how he goes on Fox News and pushes the very facts that Fox News doesn’t want their viewers to know.

@SimonRAnderson @TFaddy A person that covers their drink when you enter the room

@TFaddy What is a woman, Dr. Coffey?

@SageofomahaNZ @GaryPayinda Funny how we can afford tax cuts though.

@GaryPayinda What? Your figures are way out. We have been running up a budget deficit of $1bn a week for last 2+years! We are living way beyond our means even now.

@kiwiRyans @leoxfreeman @NewstalkZB What is disgusting is how you cultists attack the messengers and make stuff up when they talk about basic facts you want to be willfully ignorant about.

@leoxfreeman @NewstalkZB It’s disgusting isn’t it. MSM should be ashamed of themselves

Harris beats out Trump in new poll - report newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/heather…

@moahunter @KarinMary1 @NewsroomNZ Using weasel words to reframe what it is, does not change the fact that they got handed billions of dollars that would have been better spent elsewhere.

@KarinMary1 @NewsroomNZ No tax cuts to landlords Karin this is a mischievous statement put out by Labour to try to create class division & win some hate votes. This sort of nonesense is why we changed our Govt & using it damages your own credibility.

The health budget blowout is one of the first issues the Government has faced that has arisen entirely under its watch. #Echobox=1721731529-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsroom.co.nz/2024/07/23/the…

@LynHaye72192347 @PhillipLaings What sort of person are YOU to ignore decades of evidence that shows these abuse factories do nothing to stop them "hurting people" after they are treated like animals, and released into society a lot fitter, and a lot angrier.

@PhillipLaings Grow up. Do you want to see these kids in prison or let them carry on hurting people. What sort of person are you.

How can the planned boot camp go ahead now in light of this report? Absolutely shameful.

@Kat_Alysha Charles Manson's followers show reporters their ear bandages, 1970 It all seems a bit culty to me

Assassination solidarity* ✊️ *A mask? Fuck no. I don't wanna look like an IDIOT LIKE YOU.

@MandySamWrites @sarahpolo10 Funny how you complain about Labour leaving us "broke" yet National are borrowing more than Labour did outside of the one-off COVID time for tax cuts to landlords.

@sarahpolo10 Kiwi Rail should have maintained the ferries better?Invested in an affordable replacement program instead of one we can’t afford?Blowing out the budget by billons & asking for more money each time? Maybe you don’t realise Labour left us Broke because of their mismanagement?

The cancelling of the ferry project is looking like the worst decision every day, we are very lucky that this wasn’t another disaster.

@Pete20221 @NewshubPolitics It went on focusing on housing people after National sold state houses as it was only interested in enriching the already well-off.

@NewshubPolitics Where'd all the money go?
