Definitely!!! Typical Nat (and Simeon) going for the scaremongering "Labour want your money" tactic though

...no, Simeon et NACT1, they want YOUR money...not ours...
🤣🤣🤣

November can't come soon enough. #OneTermGovernment #ditchthepricksin26

It's obvious that planning/prepping isn't something this lot are good at or interested in. I'm just hoping we can hold out till November. Meanwhile I'm praying there's enough gas in the country to get me back to Wellington in 15 days from Sthland. (Wouldn't be here if it wasn't absolutely necessary)

They certainly aren't renowned for planning or risk management so far...

Ahh, but if you use the other options, like weekend, after hours surgeries, you have to pay the surgeons more...or get more surgeons first, then pay them more. And this govt is offering no incentives to encourage drs here...know some grads who can't wait to go overseas, so year..

Fingers crossed...

It is a little bit different - for one thing, Congress approved the other invasions - this one, nope....

Looks like AI - either that or that kid REALLY wants to get away...

That would be my bet...

But no, Luxon et al have got us covered...they are on the phone now, all good...🙄

This is not new....

Sorry, but world leaders were never influenced by Trump. Most saw him as a joke they had to work around in his first term. This time however, he is less of a joke and more of a danger.
And while he's in, America is not the leader in anything. Pretty sure it'll be back once he's gone tho...

It's ok, it will....might take a wee while, but the Dems are coming up with some very credible options, and any of them can fix it...hang in there...

Give it another couple of months...I'm picking once they realise what this lot have sold to get oil (if they do) I reckon the Greens are going to look a lot more attractive to a lot of them...

More than normal, it's the sensible option!

November is coming...

It would be nice if anyone loudly pointed out that moving people on doesn't solve the problem, it literally just moves it. Maybe attacking the problem, rather than the symptom would be better?

Is it just me or are there a lot of really stupid people out there? I seem to see so many people who think Luxon et al are awful, but still better than Labour....How do they believe the propaganda (Labour=tax, spend, debt) when the truth is so easy to find online? Am I the one who's wrong here?

He's completely discounting the fact that Denmark has the whole of Europe behind it, plus other allies...I think they can raise a defence....Or is he just that stupid?

Maybe a tad overdramatic? I'm fully aware of who they are, (mostly) and the damage they're doing ecologically but this approach really turns off the majority who are just trying to get/keep a job and pay the bills. You need a much more down to earth, relateable approach to convince/educate them

Yeah, I think he may have learnt a few things since 2023 - his capitulation on CGT for one thing (altho it doesn't go far enough imo - but one step at a time)

They can come across like that, on some issues, and that can be polarising for some people. Those on the right will be against them on RW principle, and those on the left can be against them on the grounds they are too far left - and rip shit and bust. Not my opinion, just my observation of others

Not disagreeing, just saying that as a key issue it isn't going to win them the election - most people are focussed on getting and keeping a job and paying the bills right now. They have always had a climate focus, and my guess is there will be a policy announcement closer to the election. Patience.

It's called National press releases - aka RW propaganda - say it often enough and it becomes true - and unfortunately not enough people look under the hood to check.... 🙄

lol - yeah ok .... are you seeing someone about that paranoia? You should be, you don't sound well....

Shades of MBIE all over again - and look at what a disaster that was!!!

Aww, sorry did I hit a nerve? Do people not invite you to parties?

Wow, angry wee activist...you must be fun at parties...

And you're an indoctrinated twat
