A comparison:
20% reoffending vs 70% reoffending
No prizes for guessing which one our PM supports
Our kids are too important to be political pawns. Our PM needs to realise that some of them may not actually move to Australia, and these are our future citizens

Musical Chairs sums up the stupidity of Coalition Govt beatifully.
"The world does't owe you a living" says the man who has killed off 10's of thousands of jobs. And then suggests teens need need to get themselves sorted. He is incapable of considering himself at fault

So just to be clear, these businesses would be uneconomic if they had to pay for the cost of cleaning up the damage they are doing, and can't just leave it to ratepayers to fix?
And that is a bad thing?

Charlie Kirks death "struck such a chord with New Zealanders" that many of us went to find out what that chord was, and why we cared about Charlie Kirk
I've never heard our acting PM say anything like this about the many other shootings.

Apparently that surplus of $13,000 is what we negotiated to get a second pilot for a few hours. But doesn't include the normal security details we would have to pau.
Thank goodness we have got rid of that old wasteful spending Govt.

How it started:
NZ Govt has too many bureaucrats
How it's going:
The NZ Govt increased the number of public servants in both 2024 and 2025 (www.publicservice.govt.nz/data/workfor...)
It's a great summary of how #nzpol is going nowdays - a disconnection between what is said and what is done.

Our Finance Minister, along with a smiling PM even encouraged other businesses to sell things at a loss
This is the PM who proudly tries to run NZ as a business complains and complained about other politicians not understanding how a business runs
Good job Christopher. You are the weakest link.

I really like the new walkway on Ti Rikau Road, but it feels pretty kiwi to take a straight line and put curves in it. Is this why anything that isn't a road is so expensive?

Love the idea that Aucklanders driving from Warkworth to Te Hana is consider Nationally Significant. And when we can drive there faster, our economy will absolutely bloom
![The Port Albert Co-operative Dairy Company replaced its factory in Port Albert with a more substantial one in Te Hana in 1934.[10] The dairy factory was the town's major employer until it closed in 1987.[11] After it closed Te Hana declined, with a high crime rate, unemployment of 20%, significant substance abuse, and poor living conditions.[12]

And he didn't even have to mention the racial divide, erosion of working conditions, the Ministry of Regulation, jobs for his mates. Just making real change...
