Anyone else catch Seymour stating on Breakfast this morning that we don’t need a new tax because the government has more money than most? The same government that tells us it has no money for anything that isn’t a road. 🤦‍♂️ #nzpol

In the UK, the clueless Tory Govt tried to cut spending from 2011 to reduce debt. That backfired - economists often miss that Govt spending adds to the tax base. This created the conditions for the rise of the far right. But, that's another story (it's where we're heading) . (Ends)

“Even the most skilled school leader is constrained by the ongoing failure of the state to address the deep inequity in our education system. New Zealand ranks 33rd out of 38 developed countries for its overall equality in education.” — Rebecca Macfie, author of ‘Hope and Hardship’.

Yip, one of the best places to shop. I'm a fan of Yogiji's in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Go to for pulses, vege, rice and spices. We also shop at Piko, Bin Inn, and a big vege store (Growers Market usually). Avoid the big supermarkets as much as we can.

A great story. Honestly, screw the corporates and their greedflation. We've been shopping the verge markets for years and the prices are stable, the food is better, and you're buying from someone real. A handy guide to shopping at the Indian supermarket thespinoff.co.nz/kai/19-07-20...

Five people a day become homeless in Ōtautahi. It can happen to anyone. It can happen to you. Case in point. Employed full time, can afford $650 a week in rent, still ends up homeless. Our social contract is broken.

A post in a Hornby community facebook page that reads “URGENT HELP NEEDED As of Friday, a lovely local family with three young children (including a baby) became homeless. The lease on their previous rental was up and it would not be extended further due to "family moving into the rental." They had applied for many rentals leading up to Friday but have had no success. They have been advised by MSD they do not qualify for emergency housing support as they are over the threshold by $40.00!! We have managed to get them very, temporary accommodation until Monday but they are desperately seeking a rental immediately preferably in the Hornby or surrounding suburbs. They would prefer 3 bedrooms but are open to anything. They can afford up to approx. $650 and have references available. The male is in full time work in the Hornby area. If you know of any rentals that are available, please private message me on Facebook Messenger or text me on 027 etc”

“Vaping has become so widespread that New Zealand now has more daily nicotine users than it did five years ago. In fact, 86,000 more people are regularly consuming nicotine than in 2018. In places like Wairoa, vaping is embedded in everyday life.” — Fred Christensen.

On target criticisms by a former National Party MP and current journalist. Luxon silences and deflects. That's his style. IMHO it's like Peters' style of flamboyant attack, and Seymour's as deliberately inflammable. None of them act in good faith, or as people who would put Aotearoa first. #NZpol

"Some political analysts have suggested that the refusal to name the strategy is the strategy. This Government doesn’t need to tear up Te Tiriti on the steps of Parliament-they’re doing it quietly, clause by clause, commission by commission, until nothing remains but ceremonial language."

Yesterday's massacre is no longer the largest at an aid distribution site, it was eclipsed today when 70 people were killed (that number is likely to rise as many of the 200 injured are in critical condition) aje.io/3s0pv2
