Standing in a line at Briscoes Mt Wellington with about 60 other shoppers and only 3 tills operating people taking products back and walking out - not sure that’s what Briscoes wants

@katie_pai It’s mind blowing that basic medical facts are ignored for other reasons when everyone pays tax and deserves the health system that ensures any outlier numbers receive care

My Dad was 48 when he got diagnosed with bowel cancer and he died at 53. This govt has just taken funding from Māori screening to drop the screening age to…58.
Many like Dad will be dead before they even get to screening age. I am furious at this govt, this is systemic racism

@Scousek1w1 Jeremy you have spoken aloud the big dog in the room - that’s going to be fascinating to see how that is twisted - FIFA doesn’t want this happening as that will allow Euro super league - what’s to stop Real Madrid playing in the Saudi league if this happens
English
@cmilicich I'm of a mind that once pro clubs are established in OFC, there is no longer a need for NZ clubs to participate in the A-League, nor Oz clubs in the O-League, given the reasons behind such participation will no longer exist.
English
If Oceania allow AFC teams (based in NZ) into O-pro league and they win it will NZF take the majority of the prize money? Will there be different rules for AFC aligned clubs? Will be interesting to see the twisting of this as we move forward - go play in AFC championship 😝

@Ryans_Rovers Yep at least be open about it all this bullshit around going broke etc is such a lie - politicians now are so scared to tell the truth they couch it all in sound bites and hope we all are asleep - isn’t a politician of mana in this county
English
So apparently something funded by TAXPAYERS is now nearly broke and needs elements to be privatised - hey here a strange idea fund it properly from the taxes you take and stop giving in to special interest groups - do you want to turn it into the UK NHL

This is a fascinating read about IP and how it is changing back towards Feudalism
Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER@doctorow
Here's a weird consequence of our shift from capitalism (where riches come from profits) to feudalism (where riches come from rents): increasingly, your rights to your property (physical stuff you own) are trumped by corporations' metaphorical "intellectual property" claims. 1/

Maybe it’s old school thinking but if a politician announces a new policy that seems to favour Tobacco companies against medical advice they should personally explain their thinking to the media. Refusing should not be an option - leadership fail or something else

Fast track bill has two sides to it - whilst it allegedly makes things easier for the current government it will also make things easier for the next one who may action illegal, backhanders and immoral actions. Bypassing checks and balances has never ever been a good idea

@BabakShah Bloody hell, if true, how stupid have they all been - it’s career ending right there

@Riggs3660 Weird - I was told years ago a simple story: if a person, who insults or has an opinion of you that hurts, was hit by a bus tomorrow and you wouldn’t go to their funeral why would you care what they says about you - you have no right to know what they think of you so live free

@moodsatthemount No one wants it to happen but we may have to do what happens in the UK - no parents are allowed to watch any games in the academies and if they are there is a strict silence rule - too many parents never did anything athletically and want to live through their kids #weirdas

@cmilicich For three years, I had to stand, on my own, behind the goal line at my son’s games at Parrs Cross Rd.
The parent sideline behaviour was just unspeakable.

No matter how many times I see it it still shocks me to see parents running lines at kids games and blatantly cheating to favour their team. Can they not see what they are doing to the kids on the field especially their own - cheating to achieve a result has no place in the game
English
@Sportsfreakconz @Riggs3660 Lmao so very very true - that’s so accurate
English
@Riggs3660 💯 it’s like any values leave their minds and it’s all about winning regardless of the damage it does to youth players who have little capacity to understand what’s going on and tend to response with anger
English
@cmilicich They're as bad as youth coaches more worried about their teams winning at all costs, when they should be focusing on skill development, cooperating with opposition coaches and enhancing the values of the sport
English
@EnzerEnzer No they aren’t the kids he is talking about 🤷🏽♂️ it isn’t his voters he is targeting it’s everyone else

David Seymour should get down to the koru lounge right now and lock up all these parents taking their kids on overseas holidays.
It's like a private school assembly in here.
English
@Riggs3660 It was a sobering watch at how anyone being smashed by major organisations have no teeth to even get a fair go unless someone is prepared to go to battle for years for next to nothing to achieve success then they keep getting away with it

$5.6B fiscal hole - this is now insanity I thought they were the responsible party reining in costs - stop your lobbyist paybacks before it too late for so many. thepost.co.nz/a/politics/350…

@Ryans_Rovers I would prefer to see the A-league clubs pay development fees at the correct level for all players they bring in - can’t just talk outgoing transfer must also talk about one’s coming in from non professional clubs - forces clubs to have a proper development structure
English
Where the eff is that extra $8m-$15m in transfers fees coming from?
Victory/Sydney are not exactly throwing tons of cash around atm. So City and maybe Auckland might be the only ones willing to splash the cash domestically?
A-League Hub@AleagueHub
Speaking to Fox Sports, James Johnson believes that if fees could be paid between A-League clubs, A-League transfer revenue may double from $12m to around $20-25m per year. Transfer revenue rose from $2m in 22/23 to $12m in 23/24 — of which $11m was fees for U-23 players.

@DArcyWaldegrave There are 2 issues. 1st these are appreciating assets so regardless any costs they grow in value and 2nd if owned by an individual, not a business, then why does it entitle them to tax break that others can’t - put the houses in a business and the tax laws around those sort it
