The knock-on effect is that if you really want to do something to help others, you might not be able to as with the current cost of living, you'd not earn enough to survive.

Great description of Luxon.

Too right!

Precisely this!

My most unpopular take of the week is that it's breaking my heart that City Gallery is opening with one exhibition that costs $25 per person. Free entry to art galleries, museums and libraries kind of saved my life as a teenager and definitely made me believe the arts were for me.

This is a great policy and would make a real difference to so many people, including my family www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

In truck company pockets. “Luxon did not want taxpayer funding going into a “white elephant. Where it makes sense that's really good but you need a concentration of population to make passenger rail work we're very committed to our 17 roads of national significance and we make no apology for that."

Fantastic writing by Simon Wilson.

Old mate here will never experience a gig (any gig, let alone a great one). He will never experience the joy of meeting someone who likes the same bands he does. He will never share an experience with another person. This is individualism taken to its most unedifying extreme

Who would’ve thought it? Build decent public transport and people use it.

You really would think that nations, and even cities for that matter, would rethink the temptation to flirt with far-right populist “reform” politicians selling “change” after watching the corrupt, fascist dumpster fire that is Donald Trump. Hurricanes are change. A flesh-eating disease is change.

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

Luxon’s such a monumental fuckwit.

Holy shit this is good

Yep

the cost of doing business.

This is ridiculous. Clearly relying on employers to do the best for their employees has worked do well! TOP are all over the place and dangerous.

There *should* be light rail under construction from the railway station to Island Bay and Miramar but nooooo instead the worst people, obsessed with “four lanes to the planes”, are impeding the capital from becoming what it ought to be

Precisely

This.

Stop the WAR ON WALKING. #UrbanTruth #WarOnWalking

I wish the media would stop saying it’s the ministry’s error. Its crappy law rushed through by cruel bullies who have then made sure there aren’t enough people to do the work that’s needed it’s Upston et al screwing up peoples lives because they can.

Precisely.

It's a highly contested field, but arbitrarily cutting adults' off from access to the social safety net is right up there with the worst of it.

Lying. It’s what they do best.
