@bartsnz It was banned at my primary school... so we all worked out that you could get the non coloured raro and the teachers were never the wiser ☺️

@LI_politico My son is 5 and I still check on him every night to ensure he’s still breathing!

And don’t forget that the public service are people… and that some of them do fit into National’s description of the “squeezed middle”

I am shocked and saddened that the National Party's major election platform is to sell off Aotearoa real estate to wealthy overseas buyers, and to fire thousands of public servants. All for tax cuts that will be just $2 for most people. These policies lack ethics and empathy.

@LatteJunkieNZ It’s been a while! My house gets the wind really bad. And currently it won’t stop shaking! Haven’t had that in ages

@kvetchings Still not 100% sadly… it’s been 13 months since I got it… I still get out of breath a lot. Been diagnosed as having severe asthma (thanks to covid), so might never get back to normal 🤷♀️

@mintyhiggins I remember what it was like last time National were in power for my group’s mahi too… not a fun time…

which means she will keep slashing the public service until it works...
CV Nicks@cv_nicks
When asked if she would resign because the economists are right about her tax plan not adding up, Nicola avoids answering. Again “would you resign?”. Nicola: “If we didn’t deliver tax reduction, yes.” So, again avoidance and not backing her numbers. 1news.co.nz/2023/09/15/nic…

By using terms like "govt waste" & "cutting the fat" NACT are deliberately avoiding referring to public servants as *people* who will lose their jobs under NACT leadership. National in particular has failed to tell voters exactly what programmes it would cut - why is that? #nzpol

@mintyhiggins And I really couldn’t believe when Simeon Brown kept talking about all the cuts to the public service at the PSA political panel the other day… while all the members were making comments about how horrible that will be for the public service!
English
@mintyhiggins I know right?! They say they won’t cut front line services… but it really is sounding like they will have to, to make these tax cuts work…

@chaneyz85 This was straight after he'd been told the time he has left (which seems to have sunk in today, he didn't process it on Monday).

Dad's cancer nurse doesn't quite know how to take us.
Dad: 'I'm sick of these doom and gloom meetings. Can we have a fun one next time?"
Me: "We're nearly finished here. If you're good I'll take you for a blood test as a wee treat"
