Wherever I go on the internet, I cannot avoid seeing National Party advertising. I'm struggling to recall seeing a Greens ad, let alone Labour. The asymmetry in funding ("donations") is shocking.

Taking Toyota's new electric Hilux on a road trip today. It's going to take a few hours so I might as well cook a casserole using the onboard mains power while driving. As you do.
Crikey it actually worked! Just cooked a potato casserole in the electric Toyota Hilux during a road trip and it's freaking delicious. The oven dinged just as I arrived to the rapid charger. Why aren't we all doing this??!!
Luxon's "I was out there building a kick-arse business" just galls me so much. Bro you were employed by a couple of gigantic inefficient enterprises. You did not build a pie shop or a landscaping business. You did not build a tech startup.

Reminder: the Taxpayers Union isnt a real union for kiwi taxpayers. Its just a bunch rightwingers that called their organisation that. For further proof they just ran a public poll on their own page asking "do you support a wealth tax" and after 60% of people said yes, they deleted the post.
Is it like champagne, can we only say an organisation is actually free when it has a significant number of Free Speech Union Council members on the governance team, and if it does not do we just call that sparkling liberty? Fuck I don't know.
