Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

ZB do this every time a bad metric is realeased. “Everyone is poorer but he’s why that might actually be a good thing…” The media are still labouring under the misapprehension they have any effect on this stuff. Just report the news.

Latest Roy Morgan has Opportunity at 8%. I think it’s doubtful they are that high but I do think the chances of them getting over 5% are increasing every month.

Not you too Ryan? Nooooo

Calm down Smithers

So, as always seemed likely, Bomber's legal trouble is an HDCA complaint. He refused to stop posting abusively about an individual and told them to go to Netsafe if they didn't like it. Didn't go well for Bomber. What a dick. www.nzherald.co.nz/business/med...

Of course. Then if they get in he’ll complain that they didn’t uncompromisingly just do everything Ian Taylor wants. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

I voted National last time. This time I'm listening to Opportunity

The latest poll showing the Opportunity Party hovering around five percent has generated some fascinating reactions.

This is not one of the two far-right linked NZ First members reported on recently, but a third individual

The Press@thepress.co.nz · 3d ago

A senior figure in New Zealand First’s youth wing has links to neo-Nazi groups and online accounts praising Adolf Hitler, an investigation by The Press has found.

Same cycle every time. Says something arrogant and insulting. Then he gets challenged in the press at which point he’s incredulous & says theres nothing wrong with what he said. Then he says he’s being unfairly treated & taken out of context. He then gets cornered,finally he begrudgingly apologises

🚨 After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

Mostly 50+ year old men who "don't recognise their country anymore" and twentysomething year old men who in theory would have big families if they could only find a submissive tradwife

At some point you just have to conclude that the Trump supporters who are still left just knowingly love the lies, corruption and incompetence and have accepted it as their brand because nobody can be that naive and stupid.

Transcript of Luxo's lecture is gold for its pure David Brentness "if you're not disrupting & retooling, refinancing, a rockin & a rollin, smacking & a whacking, then you straight up ain't doing your job dogg, You're a baby, don't bring that weak baby ass shit into my house"

Oh this is not good

When you read what he actually said it’s just so clear how deluded this man is. His inflated sense of self is unreal.

Time's running out if you're interested in enrolling on the Māori roll Register by midnight August 6th #nzpol #kikorangi

If you want to change between the Māori roll and the general roll before this year's election, the clock is ticking.

Hollow coward. Luxo is a man of no substance. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

Luxon calls Winston’s remarks “racist’ (but still backs him as foreign minister)

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is expressing confidence in Winston Peters as his foreign minister and won’t sack him. He adds he’s “not worried” about “spats” with China.

This is damning... Luxon's response will be predictable: "We have more work to do." More of the same? Isnt that the definition of crazy? Doing the same thing and expecting different results? #OneTermGovernment www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

We have some serious problems here. An ideological drive for smaller government by the people in power means not only will they not address these problems, they will do things that actively make them worse. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

Top surgeon quit NZ for Australia after twice falling asleep at the wheel

Brendon Bowkett worked at Wellington Hospital for 24 years. Both times he fell asleep while driving he was returning to the city after an outreach clinic in Palmerston North.

So I am assuming Luxon has ruled out having Winston as a Minister in a future government he leads. Due to racism and diplomatic concerns? Or is that type of leadership reserved just for candidates who’ve already indicated they’ve resigned? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
