What a cruel Govt this is!
The parental income test limit will be $65,529, so parents earning more than $65K will now have to support their 18- and 19-year-old children while they look for work.
The ave. household income at the end of June 2024 was $134,599, so let's bash the poor again. #nzpol

There was a fucking NOOSE outside Parliament where Seymour wandered about & 'engaged' with folk.
His inability to understand the difference between a noose as a historical reference & a threat to parliamentarians is embarrassing.
If it wasn't for hypocrisy he'd have nothing to speak about, ever.

So, the Spinoff published a column today running cover for Bishop’s racist remarks, by trying to pretend his utterances were anything but, yet Bishop’s fellow govt MPs have just shown how much they are steeped in anti-Māori, colonial racism.

The most upsetting thing in today’s debate, for both Mr and me, was the oft espoused idea that if TPM had apologised and shown contrition the penalty would not have been so high.

Fuck that shit! They have nothing to apologise for.

Great thread. The centralised too-big-to-fail corporate contract Seymour chose for school lunches is *everything* these fools always say about the public sector. It's beyond irony.
The school lunches thing is bad on its own, obviously, but it also says so much about this government's foundational belief that govt become more efficient and do more with less by leveraging private sector Betterness.

Very stable genius …
“When Stuff read the NZ First diversity clause to Peters, which includes four terms - “genders, social groups, ages and ethnic groups” - he walked away while shouting: “Listen moron, I’ve just told you once.””

NZ First’s constitution requires that MPs are ranked with consideration of their gender, social groups, ages and ethnic groups.

The Prime Minister acknowledged that there would be "some reoffending", but would not get into individual cases to "respect people's privacy".
