Beneficiary numbers soar to 12-year high despite government's reduction promise Louise Upston vowed to "curb the surge in welfare dependency" after taking office, but the numbers are now the highest since at least 2013.

Useless government.

Imagine if Luxon hadn't been lying when he claimed he was going to solve the cost of living crisis, then all these oil price shocks wouldn't have as much of an impact! πŸ˜… an economy stripped to the bone for efficiency, suddenly hit by predictable price hikes. #nzpol

Auckland Mayor says inner-city suburbs are ripe for housing intensification | RNZ News "It will end up with a city which looks like a city, not the world's largest suburb," Wayne Brown says.

In 1952, New Zealands population was 2 million. By 2033 Auckland alone will have 2 million people.

The city (on an ismus!) can't keep living in a perpetual 1952 with its post-War ideals of quarter acre homes and private motor vehicles

Look. What I say to you is this.

We're destroying working and middle class jobs, forcing people to sell their homes at low prices and collapsing wages. But don't worry, it's all in the service of those rich enough to profit from it.

Will those affected by the cyclones, slash waste, and flooding get their justice too? Doubt it. Right-winger influencers only.

#NZpol Peters is cranking up the spin machine over at the evil place, wildly exaggerating claims on the COVID-19 inquiry πŸ˜”

This is going to be an awful election year… πŸ˜’ Of course he’s trying to pin it all on Labour, even though he supported the response at the time.

Not a single right-wing NZ politician has said that the Covid Inquiries will provide useful research for dealing with future pandemics, making their criticisms transparently and exclusively about discrediting the previous government and not about concern for the population. #nzpol

And if the landlords received the tax cut, the public servants have all been fired, the ferries were cancelled, benefits have been denied, hospitals need staff, schools need staff, regional councils have gone, etc - then who did they borrow the $120 billion for?

Themselves?

Many people reckon Simeon Brown should have asked more questions about the risks of his mandatory higher speed limits in neighbourhoods, around schools & on dangerous highways β€” evidence that was readily available to him at the time, and that continues to accumulate in the form of injuries & deaths.

It's 2026.

Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.

Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.

Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

I remember an American lecturer telling me the end of the world would come from Iran building nuclear power stations near fault-lines. I guess he was kinda right. Trumps fault line.
