It’s all part of the neoliberalism transfer of wealth to the wealthy

Alan (not ekshully a B'Stard)@alans-world.bsky.social · yesterday

#NZpol The RBNZ decided, when jobs were already fucked, unemployment simply "has to" go up or inflation won't come down. We had a main governing Party joining in with their coalition partner in sacking 1000's of workers. They plan MORE too. Connect. The. Fucking. Dots. Vote. This. Ideology. Out.

Yes! Snap election now!

Pip Adam@pipadam.bsky.social · yesterday

Um. There is no stable government. This coalition is over in everything but name. If someone is only keeping their job so you hold onto power that's not stable government. Snap election now.

Peters is now the default Prime Minister

There's a clear double standard. Chloe has been sanctioned by Brownlee for incinuating someone was lying, yet Peters outright calls something a lie and nothing happens, and then when Chloe points this out, she is removed? This govt is an utter joke. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Not sure how much attention this will get, but it’s quite a big deal - Labour has pulled its support for the Govt’s controversial census ‘modernisation’ plans, meaning it no longer has the 75% majority it needs in Parliament: newsroom.co.nz/2026/08/03/g...

Winston Peters had told a Stuff journalist to “piss off” after they asked questions about other instances of violent rhetoric and behaviour toward MPs.

I love cars and I love my EV I’ll never open another petrol car Why? because EVs are better than petrol cars and will only get better

JP Ahonen@jpahonen.eurosky.social · 3d ago

A lot of people complain EVs are not “car enough”. For me it’s the opposite. I always hated cars. I absolutely hate every mechanical piece and oily part, and the assumption that as a man I should know how it works, and how to fix it when it doesn’t. My EV is a solution to go from A to B.

#NZpol Not sure if you can wind that back “sorry if he caused offence.” McAnulty said that was what somebody says "when you're not really sorry". "It's like the weakest form of apology. It's like one level up from shrugging your shoulders and saying 'whoopsie'." Got to love McAnulty’s takes 😄

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.

Luxon and Seymour - one guy who has only worked large corporations (and never run a small business) and the other who has never been in business at all, have no right to patronisingly lecture those that have.
