David Seymour You’re not doing more, you’re doing less & you know it. Sandwiches & fruit is not a nutritious replacement for a hot meal, when many children don’t get a decent breakfast or a hot dinner.

The Act Party

- tells you when your kid is sick or not
- decides which foods are woke and not-woke
- wants to expand the Ministry of Regulation.
- fights for free speech, unless it's a Pacific persons poetry.

A dystopian nightmare made real.

I reckon, when you've had a prima facie win by continuing a popular programme for less money (albeit with an approach experience shows leads to more waste & fewer kids getting nutrition)... probably don't wreck it by making the news all about whether 'foreign' food is 'woke'

Will Page I think of it more as a morally bankrupt and bullying US losing its influence.

This is great news and a real blow to the US.

David Seymour doesn't like it when people talk about the Atlas Network: why wouldn't you be proud of being trained by and working for (2007-2012), this very powerful, influential global network of 500+ thinktanks in 100 nations?

Does this man not have a comms advisor?

Seymour has chosen sandwiches over hot meals for school lunches, though the evidence shows sandwiches are where any waste occurs. Parents and schools absolutely can’t let this happen as he’s setting it up to fail. Anyone have ideas on how to kneecap his cynical move?

Sushi isn’t woke. It’s Japanese…

Get it right David, because you’re just sounding tragically racist when you call the foods of non-white nations ‘woke’

Isn’t it awesome* that this govt is downgrading childrens food to save $100m to give away as free money to rich adults.

*fucked is what I mean. Utterly fucked.

This funding cut has to rank right up there in the backwards thinking stakes rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

My goodness, the number of people smoking in England, Ireland, Wales and Cornwall is astoundingly high compared to NZ. No wonder big tobacco felt it needed to buy the NZ election.

Look my mum thinks I am entirely too precious about all sorts of things and she said 'god he's awful. Sushi is healthy' so it may not work out the way he thinks

Unhappy with the attention Seymour got for calling foreign food woke, Winston decided to drum up some good ol' fashioned transphobia

And where's Luxon while his coalition partners dogwhistle to the worst of their supporters?

Probably planning his next taxpayer-funded renovation

'He's got one standard for himself, which is a very, very high standard, and a different standard for others who he thinks should make do with a whole lot less.' Chris Hipkins on Christopher Mark Luxon having the PM's office upgraded cos it wasn't up to 🌟

whether it's social bonds or PPPs, there's a lot mythologising that it takes costs off govt (so it can do tax cuts for landlords)

But the truth is, private investment only happen if govt offers attractive returns. PPPs & social bonds end up costing more than just normal funding

This tweet and all the TERFy replies under it demonstrate how the anti-trans brigade actually don’t give a shit about women’s rights. None of them are asking about the unanswered question on women’s pay equity.

Remember that next time they tell you they’re supporting women.

Remember when NZ was isolated from the rest of the world, when the world had Covid, and we had periods of months and months with very few if any restrictions because we had smart leaders who made tough, but correct choices, to save our lives?

Some people have forgotten quickly.

I get the heritage thing is a story but the REAL story is we have now upzoned the whole of Pōneke. The game has officially changed.

It's as if the point of government is to transfer workers/taxpayer dollars to private business by any means possible.
Roads, healthcare, mental health, prisons you name it.
Even if you call them 'social bonds'. rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/…
