That would require empathy…& the collective decision to tax extreme wealth more than the hard work of the millions who created the extreme wealth in the first place. 🤷‍♀️ #nzpol #Geopolitics #TaxJustice

It’s a choice between Socialism and Fascism.

You may be right it’s a choice between ‘economic miracle’ and ‘economic nightmare’, though you lack the brain cells to know which is which.

Yet again the CoC creating a problem and then blaming the people for it.

Such a wearygoround of making problems, so short sighted, it’s pitiful Erica and co.

You created all this unemployment, it should be on you to fix it, not us.

It pains me so hard that even RNZ cannot do some actually analysis and instead offer us Willis’ dribble on the CGT announcement.

Nearly all OECD countries have a form of CGT.

We have an economy of buying and selling houses with bits tacked on.

Did you know David Bowie and Eric Clapton spoke out in support of fascism??

Don’t really want the government to allow more glyphosate residue in crops we consume, knowing it likely increases the risk of cancer.

Nicola Willis promised affordable tax cuts and zero borrowings - OR she would resign.

Instead, Willis borrowed $12,000 million i.e. $12 billion & has created another $8 billion hole in the budget. She's now down $20 billion and counting #nzpol #kiwi

It grinds me that RNZ says All hostages, when they are only referring to Israeli Hostages.

Israel holds 10,000 Palestinians.

They need to be released too.

Relieved to see some positive movement, but unsure this means the release of ALL Palestinians held hostage/held illegally in Israel.

Luxon has NO REASON to not recognise Palestine once the hostages are returned, not that they currently have one.
