Tens of millions to spend on advertising and the National Party portrays kiwis as sheep that they want to continue to fleece. This is so incompetent that I reckon it is Luxon’s work.

They know how unpopular privatisation is to most New Zealanders, who have seen the disastrous impacts of privatisation in electricity, banking, transport, prisons, housing and many others. Openly running on asset sales would guarantee a one-term government.

Just Rishi Sunak earning £6265/ hour advising Goldman Sachs and £7729/hour consulting to Microsoft... while sitting as a backbench MP.
The median UK salary is £41k/year. Sunak earns that in just over five hours consulting for Microsoft.
What service is he providing, exactly?

Fuck palm oil.
And fuck New Zealand farmers who are the world's LARGEST importer of palm kernel expelar 😠
The latest population survey, released by Indonesia’s Ministry of Forestry in July 2026, estimates that only 716 Tapanuli orangutans (Pongo tapanuliensis) remain in the wild. They are the world's rarest great ape.
The situation is especially precarious because Tapanuli orangutans reproduce slowly and survive in three isolated populations.
Studies indicate that sustained additional population losses exceeding just 1% annually will result in extinction.

If you are an Israeli soldier stationed in Gaza, you can vote in one of 40 illegal voting stations setup for soldiers of genocide.
If you are a Palestinian born in Gaza, to parents Palestinian parents and grandparents and great grandparents born in Gaza, you cannot vote. You cannot have clean water. You cannot have shelter. You are not allowed to leave the Gaza Concentration Camp. You can be executed at any moment for any reason. You are the personal property of Israel and Donald Trump. You are effectively a slave.
Not so complicated after all, it's call genocide and apartheid. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e…

My UK son said voting is much more difficult than last time.
He nearly gave up- said many will. Vote has to be witnessed. Couldn't confirm he'd voted as there was a 'system failure', can't go back and check, one sign in only allowed. O/seas votes favour the left. Don't they?

30% of adults don’t have passport or license & it’s quite complicated to enrol online without those. Hence why 450,000 people enrolled & voted during early voting last time. It’s an easy in person thing to do without RealMe etc. Lots find out they’re not enrolled when they vote.
So the Kangaroos are just going to get bailed out by the NRL refs & officials every game ? Because it’s happened 2/2 times already. More of a parade than an actual World Cup really.
Dubhead & myself will be giving Hallertau Riverhead the honking holiday weekend warm up from 12.30 - 4.30. Always the finest reggaematical rhythms & JA jawns to ease the ears while the vittles & crafts go down. Book in to avoid dubwise disappointment etc

The media should stop asking politicians whether they BELIEVE in climate change and start asking them whether they UNDERSTAND it.
It’s science, not Santa.

Google is evil
Wolves Descend on Finnish Villages After Google Hacked Down 1,300 Acres of Habitat to Make Room for AI Data Centers
They have nowhere else to go after Google destroyed their forest home
Authorities will now probably shoot the wolves

Agree with Asher, and the economic myths that carried the 1980s deserve naming too.
Myth one: the Government has to collect taxes and borrow before it can spend. It doesn't. NZ issues its own floating NZD and spends by crediting accounts. Tax and bonds drain money afterwards.
Myth two: the Government is like a household. Councils and families can run dry. The Crown can't be forced to.
Myth three: the debt is a burden. It's the settlement cash the Government issued itself, sitting on Treasury's books as "Borrowings".
Myth four: no money for nurses, hospitals or state houses. The money was never the shortage. Real capacity is the limit, and austerity manufactured the shortage of nurses.
Myth five: the ratings agencies keep us honest. Same firms that stamped AAA on subprime junk. Money grows on trees, what it buys does not. Inflation, imports and the exchange rate are real limits. Solvency never was.
Neoliberals said there's no money. They just gaslit the gullible.
