Whuh i’ll leave the country for five minutes and you buggers are already organising a new prime minister????

A chart showing Three Waters (water infrastructure) spending per annum per Mayoralty - with a massive spike during the much erroneously maligned Tory Whanau mayoralty. Print this out & staple it to your drunk uncles thick skull, or better still, on his dick that's the only thing he looks to for inspiration.

In a move that will shock no one, they're now blaming 'vanity projects' of the former Mayor of Wgtn for the flooding.

I swear public stocks with abundant rotten vegetables for this kind of asshole should be mandatory.

Keep this for your drunk uncle & thank you to whoever made it.

If you're looking for a definition of narcissism, look no further than company execs & shareholders who are so focused on cost cutting & quarterly reports they completely miss the fact that collectively they're making society/ the economy/ the future unsustainable for everyone INCLUDING THEMSELVES.

It's a damning indictment of this government that the answer to this question is "buy them a one way ticket to Australia."

I don't want a continuation of "we couldn't possibly afford to do that" for things that are basic, just and necessary. I want bold and fair government, not centrist bullshit.

HALLELUJAH BECK!

You could be $14k a year richer if these reforms never happened Your wallet could have a lot more cash in it if these reforms never happened, writes Verity Johnson.

“If it had stayed at 70%, the average wage in 2020 would have been $14,000 higher.”

Any update on the Govt's plan to go all-in on imported LNG?

Coalition parties working hard to pull TPM out of its polling holding pattern. Onya boys!

Peace through strength is a typo, obv.
He meant strength through joy.

By-election? Now that's an interesting new twist.

#NZPol Norway averaged 85%. Right now we get like 2%.

Old enough to recall those columns a few weeks ago with headlines like "Will this fuel crisis be the making of Christopher Luxon?"

Apropos of this Dan's post, I'm wondering who would employ Luxon at this point? He'd have to go sideways from his old AirNZ role at best. Pretty humiliating for someone with such a big ego.
And it's not as if he'd be useable in a punditry or public speaker role

I know of two places. .
Magills butchers in TA.
And Vetro in Kirikiriroa.
There are probably more?

Yes, pretty much everything in and about the world is shit.
But there's also Vandy's bacon.
Veritable. Traditional. Incroyable

Aotearoa in 2026 feels like we're living in a communist regime in the 80s & you're lying in bed at night secretly listening to western pop music on your shortwave radio.

I think she'd make a dreadful leader. Although not as bad as the current idiot.

A few years ago in a busy-ish street in Toulouse, I witnessed a cyclist being halted by a double parked car in the bike lane.
He edged into the traffic, stopped at the driver's side window and delivered a hoick so big it would have been visible from space.
I think about that cyclist often.

Has this Govt given up on its 1pm fuel crisis updates?

This guy's definitely not fucking around.

Funny you should say that. I've long thought Willis' real weak spot is her voice.

"The 61-year-old has been charged with offensive behaviour and wilful damage."

Gee I guess that'll deter him and like-minded racist oafs.

This is what you like to see on a sunny April morning.

Look I'm sure the company will have another life or two after this new AI incarnation collapses in a heap of bad debts.

From Hamilton council's latest newsletter. Probably a bit hard for you to read, but the headings tell the story.
Where is the heading for "looking after our people"?
Shameful that a council doesn't see this as one of its roles.

Counter argument: With a high-water stock valuation of NZD7 billion, Allbirds was always a ponzi scheme.

The new owners are merely switching from shoes to a sexier category to have another bite at the cherry.
