@RealPostFolder The idea of a "retirement age" is one of the things that is threatening to destroy the greatest civilisation the world has ever seen.

@JacintaAllanMP If the buyer want's a report it's up to the buyer to pay. Why should the seller pay?

@Duderichy Many late model used car are unreliable, in many cases a 20 year old car would be more reliable that a 10 year old one, emission rules have sacrificed durability and reliability to save a litre of petrol per year. The recent rule changes in the USA will hopefully change that

@nettieg3 New Zealand is different to those other countries is so many ways but if you want to make a comparison look at Europe alone. Sweden had very few restrictions, no lock downs, look at the outcome.

This is why I think Labour is better for everyday NZers. These issues are important to NZers. They allow us to have better lives.

People forget the last New Zealand Labour Party govt delivered things many Kiwis now rely on: free prescriptions, Winter Energy Payment, 26 weeks paid parental leave, Healthy Homes standards, school lunches, and higher minimum wages. That was so positive and people based.

@CarnivoreKees @2ETEKA He's doing a very good job as prime minister, but a Labour one.

He also said the economy will come right - this morning crude hit $110 USD.
The economy ain’t picking up, and neither is Nationals numbers. The gimp must go! There is no way he can provide the leadership that’s needed in a crisis. He can’t even handle the morons in the press gallery FFS

@2ETEKA If he want's to emulate the UK he is doing a reasonably good job of it, we are in danger of replacing a mediocre government with a heinously terrible one, and he's working very hard at it.

@Suitandtie9999 Or as one of my collogues used to say, don't pull an old cow out of the ditch.

@AppleBear365 It would take an enormous amount of effort for the Nats to lose the next election, but he might just be the man for the job.
