Meh. I used to get told to think about all the starving children in Africa when I was a child in small-town Waikato.

By the time my moldy, manky leftovers got to Africa, they would be inedible.

Post away. You enjoying a passion for food wont harm a person going without.

Perhaps if the Ministey wasn't kept so busy due to 'back office' staff cuts and never ending curriculum changes, they may have capacity to actually support the schools

I think your article about voting depending on the economy forgets the gutting of health, environment, education, housing, fair pay, sidelining of te tiriti and the blatent corruption around big tobacco, supermarket, fishing and farming lobbies.

They trod on our identity as fair kiwi battlers

Have you seen the shitshow going on around the world?

Fully support us being a magical, invisible land

So... Labour's first major policy was an investment fund to support innovation and productivity.

Nationals - to increase employer and employee Kiwisaver contributions and reducing governments.

Great to see National continue earning their polling 🫣

Considering your continuing involvement in organisations actively undermining democratic processes and you benefitting from this, not sure you are best placed to comment

Agree. But popcorn is essential. This is better than satire
November 6, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Gee. Another example of this governments pursuit of ideology over evidence, of ignoring industry experts and workforce, and creating harm.

They are doing this in trade, climate, the economy, health, education, justice, environment, international relations - what an embarrassment of arrogance

How about going into Gaza rather than an IDF curated tour

Waiting for all those who panicked about the waste of taxpayer dollars to kick up.....

Hope we get a better return on investment than the $1m summit he hosted.

NZ First don't try to hide that they are shit. ACT prefer to dress it up with shiny wee party badges monthly can identify each other

Take care whanau. Hope Chewies new roof is holding up to the weather

Ffs - we are still a democracy!

It is going to take years for National to regain credibility after this clusterfuck of incompetents

Lol.... not sure where she is shopping then. Comparable cakes are easily available in supermarkets in NZ
October 16, 2025 at 10:08 AM
Perhaps explain what you think a cake is?

It was disappointing to see him returned to Council.

Excellent question. The lack of response has been loud in its silence
October 6, 2025 at 2:55 AM
Well 49% of NZs population are male.

That suggests at least 3% of the men in this country actually look at the facts.

What an example of fragility in power Simeon is.

Am not sure that Willis is in any position to cast aspersions about economic illiteracy. In fact, the massive missteps she has taken by borrowing $17bn for tax cuts and seeing the exodus of our skilled workforce could have been avoided if she did listen to economists

Well said

Lets get the remuneration authority to review salaries of public service workers, not just MPs. Assess the salary levels by international comparison like MPs are. That seems to be a process our elected officials have confidence in...
September 7, 2025 at 7:31 AM
Could you also keep the pressure on them to keep reporting on the deliberate and funded targeting of minority elected officials
September 6, 2025 at 3:38 AM
Good on NZ First. Recycling old attitudes, policies and now rejected MPs from other parties.
