- I saw an ad from National about an $88.8b "tax grab" by the Greens. That's actually a total of the four year costing for their Green Budget released last year, which funds healthcare, education, and lots more assets.nationbuilder.com/beachheroes/... #nzpol
- There is never going to be any truth to their attack ads. The latest one I saw from Brown was this photo but with the 4 of them as the muppets. It's going to be petty, vindictive and full of inaccuracy this election.

View full threadIt's $36m a year, for goodness sake. The cost to taxpayers in 2023-24 from storm damage *in Tairāwhiti alone* was nearly half a billion. Yet the same govt throws tens of billions at mega-roads because they're very important for the economy. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

- Mamdani is proving what we all suspected. The Democrats didn’t want him to win because they knew he’d succeed and show how it’s not just possible to fix things- it’s actually pretty fucking easy.
- Watching Apocalypse Now for the first time in ages because I heard a podcast about Joseph Conrad. I'd forgotten how good it is but also how crazy Kilgore was

- #NZpol He well knows what he's doing. I think they'll try to set some of this up this year if they think they'll be kicked out. And frankly, any Party that says they'll honour agreements struck by this Govt along these lines "to assure investors of stable hands"? They can get *absolutely FUCKED*.
- The left need to get comfortable with taking a flamethrower to the rights absolute bull shit Nact had no second thoughts ending everything including contracts
