Centre-leftist curmudgeon. Grew up alongside kids of the UK's failed empire and I loved them all. Love community, hate greed hence my political outlook. Now an immigrant who knows and appreciates his place.

RNZ asking the Sensible Sentencing Trust and TPU for comment on the new attack billboards is yet more evidence they learned nothing from Dirty Work. These are bad-faith PR orgs and RNZ is willfully running cover for them.

Sensible Sentencing Trust is affiliated w/ Taxpayers Union Jordan Williams "Campaign Company". CC, Hager reveals, funnels tobacco $ from TPU to Jordan & hires Ani O'Brien. SST lists as a "charitable trust" led by ex NZ First MP Darroch Ball. Billboard company JC Decaux www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

rnz.co.nzGreens blast 'backing the gangs' election billboard adsThe Greens have lodged a formal complaint against the Sensible Sentencing Trust (SST), accusing the lobby group of impersonating the party with its latest election attack ads.

Another election reminder indeed 2-for-1 The coalition went rip shit & bust spending on early the Roads of National's Significance to keep the truck lobby happy. A new SH1 to Whangarei would cost $22B for just 11,000 daily users. Meanwhile Willis kills IREX for a more expensive ferry choice. #nzpol

A further pre-election reminder that landlords have favoured status by this Coalition when compared to so many other part of our society. The tax breaks that they have enjoyed have come from the losses imposed on others. #nzpol

A pre-election reminder that the governing coalition decided that pay equity for women was not important 18 months ago. The silence around this right now is little short of staggering as the Nats and their buddies in the media make this election a single issue about law and order. #nzpol

All Hipkins should have said You’re distracting from the big issues all people in New Zealand have a story to tell and we are here to listen to all people If pushed- he replies Key & Muldoon did it That’s why he’s not a leader leaders can explain a complex issue simply and he couldn’t

Given that previous justifications for lack of coverage of David Seymour's association to Tim Jago rested on Seymour's claim that he didn't know Jago very well, this should immediately ring alarm bells and have journalists asking some serious questions

#nzpol It's OK to talk to: * tobacco lobbyists * alcohol pushers * farming reps * climate deniers * gun nutters * business groups * sustainability greenwashers * believers in trickle down * vaccine cookers * outright racists But, somehow, it's not OK to talk to gangs? Sigh. 🙏

The left actively seeking to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Nothing less than an omnishambles of opposition in the last few days. I want this hateful coalition gone and so this cuntbunglery is really hard to take. Have they not read up on perceptions as well as reality in politics? #nzpol

Prime Minister's 'coaching conversation' with NZTA boss over road project delivery www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... And so Luxon wants C2P to go three shift following the government kneecapping NZs construction base. He is utterly deluded. #votethemout #nzpol

rnz.co.nzPrime Minister's 'coaching conversation' with NZTA boss over road project deliveryThe prime minister has had a "coaching conversation" with the Transport Agency's boss over a major roading project's cost and timeframe.

Discovered today that two colleagues will finish up in a few days following coalition flip-floppery. These two represent 1% in the same position right now where I work. I now start to reach for the worry beads just a year after my wife lost her job to those cuntbungles in power. #nzpol

Little publicised fact that there is a special wing - MSU - at the new Waikeria Prison for the three P's. Namely Perverts, Politicians and the Police. All we need is McSkimming and we have not just a trifecta but a place to put them in. #nzpol

The system is rigged! This is not an accident! Qiulae Wong’s MOTHER was Judith Collins’ senior adviser. If shit pans out for the right it would be a fundamental detonation of our democracy. #nzpol

How have we come this far - including last night's debate where she is onsidered to have performed very well - without knowing the familial connection between Quilae Wong and a certain Judith Collins? Everyone seems to be being played for mugs by the powerful and connected. #nzpol

Here's what really burns my toast. I play music in small venues that are hurting. Some are closing. These shiny stadium gigs are fine if they make financial success organically. This crap does nothing for the local music scene; it actually harms it by taking that $ away from Kiwi artists. 1/2 #NZPol

“Van Velden extinguished thirty-three pay equity claims, then stood in the House and objected to being called a name. Both things happened. Only one of them led the news for a fortnight.” #nzpol www.klaut.media/single-post/...

TPM Debbie allegedly and inaudiably says "cunt" in the house and booted minutes before the 6pm news goes live, makes it into the headlines. LUXON says "cry me a river" in response to a question on rising cost of living earlier in the day, doesn't get reported anywhere. What the actual fuck.

The Coalition Govt will tax Aucklanders $5 billion to pay for the infrastructure to support the fast track housing developments for National Party donors. We pay so National's donors can get richer. Then we'll pay again to bail them out when they flood.

Have Peters, Seymour, Upston, Brown, Luxon, and most-recently in the light of offshore Maori, Shane Jones entered some form of race to see who can be the biggest cunt? An absolute travesty that people will actually vote for these the moistening wipes on the arsehole of humanity. Cruel.. #nzpol

Nationals latests spin posts are claiming Labour never finished Light Rail. But Light Rail was Canceled by Luxon along with the ferries, now we have neither. And the CRL hes taking credit for was started by John Key and supported by Labour. Thats a win for John Key and Labour and 2 losses to Luxon.
