💯 agree.

Me too. NZDF did some awesome work during first Iraq war by stopping in the middle of the gulf, forcing a ceasefire and offloading food and supplies to both sides. They sailed out & hostilities resumed. Months after the war I faxed a thank you and gratitude $$ by Kuwait to NZ govt who organised it.

China furious with NZ, alleges 'harassment' by military plane The NZDF says its plane was on a routine mission, China accuses it of reckless flying.

This is 100% CoC's supporting American interests. Pulling us into possibly another illegal war manufactured by America. I'm so fukn sick of it. Stop pissing off our best trade partner. China saved us when US sanctioned us. Vote CoC's out and save ourselves.

Trump says AI image depicted him as a doctor - not Jesus The image, shared on Trump’s Truth Social platform, showed him standing beside a hospital bed with a glowing hand placed on a man’s forehead.

Trump's 'depicting a Dr not a Jesus' he states. Even tho he's dressed like a semite Palestinian, and pulling a satan in behind.

Just stick to blockading a blockade.

Insane Slavery Vote EXPOSES West's True Intentions | Evarist Bartolo YouTube video by Neutrality Studies

UNGA: Voted on reparations for slavery. Expected US, Israel, Argentina against. Shocked not surprised Aotearoa, NZ abstained, along with other colonised countries. Aotearoa WAS ahead of the game. People collectively in Aotearoa lost nothing through Waitangi S'ments.

As someone who was in that last Auckland lockdown, I firmly believe the Government did the best it could throughout the main acute phase of the pandemic at every point. Hindsight is 20:20 but I'm glad Simeon Brown wasn't making any decisions during that period.

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah. the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda. that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

Indeed.

Too broke to pay tax? Methanex pays $70m dividend to Canadian owner The Govt has paid hundreds of millions in subsidies to the Taranaki-based methanol producer; now there are calls to speed its exit from NZ. Jonathan Milne reports.

Methanex didn't pay ANYTHING in taxes for the last 2 years though!

However it received $300 million in ETS subsidies from the government

IMO it would've been better to just give every employee $1 million each and shut it down - freeing up 45% of our gas supply #nzpol

New Zealanders support more taxes on ultra-rich, new poll shows Half of New Zealanders also agreed that billionaires shouldn't exist while people still struggled with basic necessities like housing, food and healthcare.

There you go center-left parties .. BE BOLD.

PM shaken by horror poll result, said to be considering options Political insiders have indicated to Stuff that the Prime Minister is shaken by today’s horror poll result and that he is taking some time to consider his options.

Corporate confidence at the top has never equated to capable. Boardroom babble is just that. Noise. The movers and shakers are often untitled staff earning less than their worth.

I'm doing it now. Had to do a whole fukn case study. GP's out of their depth. Managed to bypass them and got to a specialist that cost $120 AND have to let boarder go under National policy. Nightmare situation. There's more of us with multisystem issues due to sentinel point being bad batch vaccine.

MEDIA RELEASE: Well-off New Zealanders Would Pay More Tax in Other Countries: New Research New research shows that high earners in NZ are lightly taxed compared with those from other developed countries.

Dirty hands desperately washed as polls slip through Luxon’s tiny sausage fingers.

Bye you racist, corrupt, christo-fascist bubble head.

National is out of competent MPs and out of ideas that aren’t populist hate inducing disinformation.

"... as Foodstuffs trials cheaper blocks"

There is something fundamentally flawed in a system when it is cheaper to sell imported dairy products in such a strong dairy producing nation.

Yes, I've heard the arguments. But they're all bullshit. Sorry, they just are.

Peace is union business. We stand with Iranian workers and their whānau. We stand with them against the repressive regime in Iran. We stand with them in condemning the US and Israeli attacks which have killed hundreds of Civilians. (1/2) #nzpol
