Philip Mulvey

@damienmgrant @saltyreigns 215 people voted for it . It’s a tiny award in terms of support

Claiming Ardern wrote the best non-fiction book of 2025 has the same vibe as claiming Kim Jong Un scores perfectly in a round of golf.

@NNick_Valentine @dbseymour Heard of google ?

@philinv @dbseymour Don't try and put it on me dude, lefty tactics will not work, if you think an electrical engineer is equivalent to an economics and or company structure expert then I am guessing all those qualifications you spouted are fake. Are you from Shri Lanka?

Watching the economically illiterate Chloe Swarbrick try and challenge @dbseymour , a qualified electrical engineer, on power prices and energy company structure, is something to behold .

@EnzerEnzer Isn’t it funded by a charitable trust ?

if you're triggered by a te reo cafe then you dont believe in the free market ppl can risk their capital on a concept that may or may not work and the market will decide if there is sufficient demand for it to exist if you're triggered it suggests you're worried there is demand

@NNick_Valentine @dbseymour I’d like to think I do as I’m a fellow of the institute of accountants , a fellow of the institute of directors and was chair of a power company . The CEO was an electrical engineer. Assume you’re similarly qualified ?

@philinv @dbseymour If you don't understand the difference between an electrical engineer and economics/company structure maybe you should not make fun of the illiterate and moronic Chloe Swarbrick

@libProject @warwick512 @dbseymour This may not have been his best prediction. odt.co.nz/news/national/…

@warwick512 @philinv @dbseymour Let's look at the results... Inflation did go up (to 7.3%), just as Seymour predicted. Eaqub was wrong with his prediction that it wouldn't. So, who was the economically illiterate one?

@LuxonNotMyGovt She got 215 votes . That was the winning number .

This is going to send the Jacinda Ardern haters , right-wing nut jobs and cookers insane

@greencatherine @SaulStaniforth So that’s the same as saying because you live in NZ you support the current Govt. And as the current govt support mining you support mining . Why do you support mining Catherine , why ?

@SaulStaniforth Oh that is pathetic / he cannot distinguish between supporting Jewish people and the Zionist genocidal Israeli state

People are boycotting Eurovision because of the inclusion of Israel, which is engaged in a brutal occupation & genocide of the Palestinian people. Boy George says he won't join the boycott because he has Jewish friends. Conflating Jewish people with Israel is antisemitic.

@teesider61 @dbseymour I was chairman of a company in the industry. The sector is mostly run by electrical engineers at most levels of management . Not 100% amd some notable exceptions but they have to prove they have enough technical expertise . Also , linesman work on the wires .

@philinv @dbseymour as if a qualified electrical engineer would necessarily understand energy company structure and pricing. Engineers work on wires, not spreadsheets

@greencatherine Are there is fact a lot of houses built on Ihumātao that weren’t reported on ?

The climate pollution law change is dictatorship, the Ihumātao story was terrible journalism and in Reefton the council renters are forced to turn off heating, sell car, cut back on food because gold mining means market rents says Mayor , it’s the market and it’s god apparently!

News tonight - Govt dumps our right to take corporate polluters to court, tv one terrible story about Ihumātao which fails to talk to the people who look after that whenua ( thanks Winston) - Reefton pensioners rent increase caused by mining house demands ffs

So the latest @TaxpayersUnion poll is out and confirms the trend that the coalition Govt will be comfortably re-elected. @radionz reports that coalition parties tumble . Strange that people don’t trust their reporting .

@rtaonui For a lawyer she has a poor grip on constitutional law . She has to swear allegiance to the king to enter parliament. That soft interview will bite her and the greens

Tania Waikato just gave the best debut high level interview by a new Māori candidate on Q&A in the MMP era. Whatever happens in the Waiāriki campaign between her and Waititi, Tania needs to be in Parliament either by winning the electorate or being high up on the Green Party list.

Dale Husband is the worst commentator that appears on @ninetonoon with @PronouncedHare . His opinions are driven by his left wing ideology and what he wants rather than any rational analysis of what is actually happening eg Te Pati Māori will be the kingmaker this year . 🤨

@ClintVSmith @MariaSherwood2 It’s a sensible policy and one I wish governments had the spine to enact .

telling a room full of retirees that a higher superannuation age would 'help the government' is the kind of political nous and communications finesse that's led to the PM cutting back his media engagements as much as possible (also, the 'savings' is 0.5% of GDP/yr in 20 years)

@JoelMacManus @DonaldWShimoda Now work on your vocabulary and look up ,”hypocrite “.

@DonaldWShimoda You're lying. I didn't make any of those arguments, I just pointed out the hypocrisy.

In which Joel (on behalf of the woke r3tard ‘journalists’ club) explains that calling someone a ‘fa99ot’ is acceptable in a work context, calling police ‘c😱nts’ & ‘p1g s’ is ‘edgy’, & ghosting people that abuse is, actually, jokes & funny !! Poor, f😱cked-up Joel 🙄

@JamieEnsor @paultudor @coughlthom Where did the term ,”crisis” come from ?

Coalition crisis talks were held in the Beehive last night. The Herald obtained emails appearing to show PM Luxon wanted to give explicit public support for war in Iran. Winston Peters said this would have run “counter to NZ national interests”. Big story from @coughlthom ⬇️

@coughlthom I need to buy you a book on how MMP works . When you’ve read it , drop it round to @HelenClarkNZ .

@GarethHughesNZ lack of actual financial knowledge on @ninetonoon is staggering .

@dorajanno @Feijoa_Chutney “Reluctant recipient” !! What does that even mean . You know she didn’t have to take it don’t you ?

@philinv @Feijoa_Chutney A little jealousy Philip that you have been overlooked perhaps?I have no time for gongs tbh although I would make exceptions for those people who have acted for the greater good -only Helen & Jacinda meet that high bar! Helen refused the title & Jacinda was a reluctant recipient!

So Soper rates Key well ahead of Ardern in his PM rankings. Key wanted to modernise the flag by removing the Union Jack, while also reintroducing the English titular honours system which dates from the crusades. He then gave himself a Knighthood.
