Open to all views, regardless of political party, or twitter profile. But "open" doesn't mean "agreement". Left-leaning but not tribal. Blocked by left mostly.

@secondzeit No, but that's not the point. Not really. 2 years is harsh though..

@tauhenare Just remember that any additional GST on higher gas prices is GST not earned somewhere else.

So, If I heard Correctly, (and yes thats a stretch with my ears) but the Govt, Thru GST and Excise Tax on Fuel, makes 20 odd million from the pumps per week? Is that true? #AskingForAFriend

@PronouncedHare It's not right. Fullstop. Your qualifier "quite" is not in play at all.

A simple visual explanation of the Government's four fuel security alert levels. This is level one which we are currently at. Basically do nothing.

@CathKakariki @canderlodge @JamieEnsor We’re talking about Labour’s refusal to come up with policy re the current fuel supply issue. The one they very specifically haven’t released policy on this time re Iran.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins was repeatedly asked what his party would be doing to help households amid the fuel price hikes. He wouldn't provide any ideas other than some general principles and to say the onus was on the current Government. Story below -

So there will be No Ideas forthcoming from Labour on the Oil Crisis until the General Election Campaign in November of this year. Jesus H Christ, at least @NZGreens has already sent a list of its Ideas to the Govt. Sometimes I think the people who should know #DONTKNOWSHIT

It's almost like people believe the job of the opposition is to offer absolutely no alternative vision for the country... Just critisise everything a government does. Weak partisan rubbish.

@smallfry676 @JamieEnsor The job of the opposition is to offer an alternative strategy. That's why they do their alternate budget when the government publishes their one on Budget Day.

@okanepeter @JamieEnsor Well at least we can confident that their approach is to suggest nothing but criticise everything...? Sounds right.

@JamieEnsor Perhaps Labour w'd do the same things they did last time when the Ukrainian war spiked fuel/food prices. 25c tax off fuel, reduced RUCs, discounted/free bus & train fares, 1 off $350 payment, benefit & winter energy increases? & we didn't have 1/3 of families food insecure then!

@Bondiemk3nzl @shaun_wal Cool cool. I’m just saying, that won’t exactly hold up as a defence if you get a ticket, or are in an accident. That’s all.

Will "the partisan left" hold themselves to the same standards around private or personal, non-political matters involving so-called "right wing" politicians? No, of course not. One thing I've observed, partisan LW tends to have the bigger moral hypocrites... #nzpol

I've deleted the screenshots of the original post with Jade's comments. On reflection, until such time they (as a couple) agree it's been addressed privately - and for the sake of the kids - we don't need it on here, out there.

@NICK_OFF_NOW And these kinds of details aren’t our business in the end.
