So much to process from this interview so I'm just going to hyperfocus on how Mark Mitchell and Brian Roche are very, very concerned about Andrew Coster "relitigating" things

Oops did your fall guy not understand he was meant to take ALL the blame for the systemic problems you're complicit in
Exclusive: Coster claims Hipkins and Mitchell told about McSkimming
In an interview with Q+A, the former police commissioner spoke for the first time since the damning IPCA report on the McSkimming scandal.

Mark Mitchell is complaining on social media that Coster is relitigating the Jevon McSk disaster?

Relitigate? Does he know the meaning?

This is 1st time we’ve heard Coster’s side of events?

We have heard plenty from MM prior to today, even about Coster. I’m grateful for the other PoV.

Another of lux-o's example cars from his annoucement making cars more accessible to hard pressed families is the Ford Everest Platinum 4WD V6 turbo. It'll cost $93,500 after the changes.

That's $15,500 more than a 4WD model Y and the Ford will cost $2,200/yr more to fuel inc RUC.

Look. What I say to you is this.

We said yesterday that we're cutting the cost of gas guzzlers for kiwi battlers on struggle street.

Our Mitsubishi ASX example costs $1,600/yr in fuel more to run than an EV. When we shift all cars to RUC it'll be $1,900/yr more.

Luxon maths in action.

Decades of draconian labour laws mean that workers have no incentive to give a flying fuck about their work, their boss, or being “productive”.

Also, Australia has better labour laws!!
