Oh dear the incoherence of Wellington’s frightened and inherently privileged few.

Peter Thiel believes in the idea of states as a market for high net worth individuals. Let’s price him out.
We can't revoke Peter Thiel's citizenship. But we can impose a wealth tax on ultra-wealthy citizens. He'll surrender his citizenship in no time flat rather than accept paying his way.

First they came for the Maori
But I was too busy making dinner
The reason why the Coalition Government need to dismantle Maori rights and the principles of the Treaty is because at each step Iwi stand in the way of corporatising New Zealand.
We stay complacent at our own peril

We get very poor value for money if we focus infrastructure spend on more motorways that encourage more spread out housing and urban development that will cost more over the long term and be a financial drag on councils, public agencies and residents for generations to come.

Maiki Sherman's appointment as New Zealand's first wahine Māori to lead 1News' political coverage is a reason to celebrate, & perhaps for the more thoughtful reflect on why its taken so long! www.1news.co.nz/2024/03/25/t... But NZ disinformation ecologies had very different take, steeped in racism.

A leaked document on the proposed legislation regarding Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
I think the words "highly contentious" and "lack of consultation" prior to select committee are telling!

And this is why I distrust any politicians who claim the market will provide when it clearly never has in the past. It's an out and out lie.

What even is the apparatus of state if not a tool to be bent to the will of the people
Winston wants to be Attorney General so he can punish the SFo for investigating NZ First? Sounds like Trump.

Let’s be real though, Winston simply HAS to delay the talks because his entire value proposition is “keep the bastards honest”. A brand hygienic for Winston is that he appears to be in charge and delays things - regardless of whether he actually extracts any policy gains (he will).

Talks are down to 1 or 2 issues:
- our entire fiscal approach, and
- who gets to actually run the government
Just a few more days everyone.
Elevate and focus on the big rocks.
