And see those yellow bars? We’re big contributors to those, sending our national treasure across the Tasman to make Australians rich at our expense, thanks to the neoliberal idiots who sold off our banks and supermarkets and insurance companies and all the rest to the Aussies

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

It can be really difficult to be a retail or hospo worker this time of year...people can be real difficult under the stress of the season.
So when a customer takes the time to do a really nice thing like this for us, it shines really brightly
Even made my grinchy self smile

These articles always talk about the billions of dollars of gold - but that is effectively the money that is going overseas, leaving kiwis with pennies in the dollar.
In 2024/2025 the NZ Govt received a total of $143 million from all mining, all sources.

Post-war period fascinates me - we built *loads* of infra and houses but public debt levels fell. There must be things we can take from that era to inform what we do next.
Also fascinates me that the 1980 to 2008 period is considered a success - we maxed out our private debt, and what did we build?

If Batchelor is this upset that when he slouches past a café people start muttering "There's the racist", a great way around it I've found is [checks notes] not being an actual racist, mounting a tour across the country ranting 100% racist BS, and dropping racist leaflets, funded by racists.

It's very concerning that a certain white supremacist is suing an academic for calling him "racist" this will inevitably have a chilling affect on academic freedom.
