@NZNationalParty Eliminating the daily minimum power charge would help everyone. It's purely wasted money.

We’re putting solar panels on up to 500 schools to help lower power bills. On average, that will be $8,000 a year saved for schools, so they can put that money back into teaching our kids brilliantly.

@matt_horncastle A pension is a terrible return on taxpayers investment. It should be allowed to be self managed with the corresponding reduction in tax paid. (You won’t acknowledge this as you never engage to your own tweets, it’s very odd).

A pension is a benefit for old people. You voting for a government that left us $292b in debt. Your pension is paid by the current work force. It is not an entitlement from your past taxes… you consumed that with your votes and more. Let’s just face reality. It’s ugly… But it is what it is.

@dissdisinfo @realjoshuatopp @SimeonBrownMP @ChrisPenknz @JosephMooneyMP has a lot to say usually. When is it available?

@SimeonBrownMP @ChrisPenknz When is Ivermectin, the wonder drug, available OTC @SimeonBrownMP ?

Good afternoon everyone, some good news to kick off June. From today, your local pharmacist can assess and treat an expanded range of common conditions, particularly for children. This means you can go straight to your pharmacy for advice and treatment for things like head lice, conjunctivitis, scabies, and pain and fever, without needing a GP prescription. Before this change, families either had to pay full over-the-counter costs for these treatments or visit a GP to get a prescription. That often meant extra time, cost, and waiting for a GP appointment, which can be frustrating – especially when you're trying to get timely care for your kids. Now you can get that care at your pharmacy instead, faster and at a lower cost. Pharmacists are trusted, accessible healthcare providers and are often the first place people go for advice, especially in rural areas where getting a GP appointment quickly isn't always easy. It makes sense to let them do more so that Kiwis get the right care at the right time, close to home.

@NewZealandMFA Remind me how many travel bans you have placed on Muslim terrorists?

New Zealand is joining partners including Australia and the European Union in placing travel bans on three extremist Israeli settlers. Press release: beehive.govt.nz/release/travel…

@matt_horncastle AI can do this already.

Builders and developers, if you use Williams Body Corporate for your body corporates and residents' associations, we will create your legal docs for the structure free of charge.

@TaxpayersUnion @realjoshuatopp Ask about the dedicated Maori office… nobody in the organisation knows what they do there all day.

Kiwi's don’t mind paying for outcomes. What frustrates people is watching the bureaucracy grow while the outcomes don’t!

@JosephMooneyMP Compliance cost for everything is out of control. We are not enjoying the current government meddling with everything and making everything slower and more expensive and more uncertain.

I know from my life experience that you need the conditions for entrepreneurs to take the necessary risks to build great businesses that improve other people’s lives in some way (which is how they grow their product or service category), which in turn creates great well-paying employment opportunities, that in turn enables people to put food on the table for their kids.

@nzfirst @Mark47723848 32 Million Dollars… for this, is too much. Why so much? What have you commissioned?

You've earned it the old-fashioned way. Now, please enjoy it.

@GregPresland Nuclear power is quite different to nuclear war, of course the hard leftist can’t tell the difference… not the sharpest tool.

@Rough______ Nuclear war will potentially destroy our civilisation and will kill billions of people so of course the left is anti it.

How about this for the conversation? Should we change our nuclear free policy? HELL NO! stuff.co.nz/politics/36098…

@matt_horncastle @NZNationalParty was voted in promising to do this. They didn’t…

All government departments need a clear English name. It is time to be a serious country. Ignore the lefts dumb opinions.

@JosephMooneyMP @chrisluxonmp You could discuss the ongoing alcohol excise tax increases under National and their disproportionate negative effects on primary producers, retailers and hospitality.

Well done to the PM @chrisluxonmp on winning Mountain Scene’s “Snap of the Week” - winner gets a $20 Pub on Wharf voucher - drinks are on you PM next time you’re in Queenstown 😉

@damienmgrant Drone stocks are so hot right now.

It's a bird. No...it's a plane? Wait..it's the future. Get in citizen, we're going places.. stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360985…

@franks_lawyer Easy to leverage into property as an investment. Is probably the main one. Just got to choose a desirable location. (But agree, many other good investments to be made).

“Why do people still invest in residential properties? Many of them will simply become worthless.” Seen already in rural and provincial Japan and France

@_Ben_in_space @Patryn23 @itschrisray You have pronouns in your bio... and tiny flags... explains everything. Good luck with your rockets that don't work.

@Rough______ @Patryn23 @itschrisray oh you're a kiwi explains a lot

Very rough for Blue Origin. Like I said though, this firmly cements $RKLB as the #2 commercial launcher (if that was ever a question), and gives them a chance to leapfrog BO with Neutron later this year. BO likely won’t launch again for a long time after this. $ASTS is down.

@_Ben_in_space @Patryn23 @itschrisray Sure thing bud.

@Rough______ @Patryn23 @itschrisray What the fuck are you on about lmao Both companies are having issues, and I have a more interesting job than I would at RKLB

@_Ben_in_space @Patryn23 @itschrisray You mean like the blue one that blew up massively? I guess you could say that they didn’t mean to test that to failure. Are you just mad cause Rocket Lab won’t employ you?

@Rough______ @Patryn23 @itschrisray Failing somewhere around their qualification load is a bad thing, especially when they didn't intend to test it to failure

@_Ben_in_space @Patryn23 @itschrisray The part that was tested to failure at 125% expected load? That one? The one that didn’t just explode in a massive fire ball while also shattering all your hopes and dreams.

@Rough______ @Patryn23 @itschrisray No, because they are currently dealing with their first flight articles structurally failing

@_Ben_in_space @Patryn23 @itschrisray Yeah? You got a video of their rocket blowing up?

@Rough______ @Patryn23 @itschrisray I mean, RKLB isn't exactly having a great time testing Neutron's flight articles either....

@cjsbishop @Suitandtie9999 Guess you haven’t gone for building consent and resource consent lately. It’s the worst I have ever experienced.

Actual truth is NZ is increasingly celebrated internationally as an example of planning reform - started by National in 2016, continued by Labour and now going forward again under this government - working. In two decades of often poor public policy we should celebrate this.
