So these dipshits won't fund a *pair* of ferry terminals that'd get used several times a day, but will fund an LNG terminal that *might* get used once in a blue moon?
One terminal, for the same price as two, and with zero (0) ferries?

Why not spend $2.7b on solar & batteries instead?
Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity

I just saw a clip of Luxo at Waitangi where he said sarkily to the assembled throng that equality of outcome isn't part of Article Three "because that, frankly, is socialism" and I want to die at how much he sucks #nzpol

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Would love to see JUST ONE PIECE of analysis that properly puts womens’ financial struggles not down to their own inability (blah) but to where it really lies: with the selfishness of men
"Women, on average, earn less than men and take more time out of work. Time out of the workforce has quite a big impact on people's lifetime incomes and lifetime savings."
retirement was a struggle for women who were alone, or those in second relationships where finances were kept separate.
