1News So your government is making people unemployed with all these job cuts and then making them attend a seminar on how to look for a job, even the ones who actually worked for WINZ?
You patronising stupid hypocritical arseholes.

This PM Luxon, who hasn't yet delivered anything, says 'we've delivered more school lunches to more kids at lower cost.'

He has spoken so much unadulterated BS in his career he has literally lost touch with reality.

Darren Watson Now this is the Luxon that people at the airline knew and hated.

He berated anyone who asked questions at town halls.

Y’all it’s wild that Seymour doesn’t seem to grasp nutrition

Quinoa, couscous, and hummus are relatively low cost, high protein food items in contrast to meat

Kids need protein to grow well and support brain development and focus 🧵

Couple of reckons. He's very hostile and sarky if he doesn't like something. Nasty. And seems to think announcing something is the same as doing it 'we’ve actually delivered more school lunches to more kids at lower cost'. Not too bothered about the truth. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/ch…

Simeon whatshisname just said in the house that electricity will, under them be plentiful
Just read on the news that we are being asked to reduce electricity this week?????

WINZ already has some real capacity issues around case managers and the situation just got a lot worse. This government is too focused on aspects that are easy to measure rather than providing quality public service. Disgraceful.

Why do National Ministers feel the need to shout to get an y point across. Many of us just mute them so they don't give us a headache.

According to Willis, the 17% that aren't receiving a tax cuts should be grateful that the govt are tackling the cost of living. That's it folks, be grateful will put food on your table.

Well, well, well, Luxon and the Natz know he's no match for Chris Hipkins in QT in the House, so he's under instruction to give the shortest possible answer and not go on and on with meaningless slogans!

What parking was the Four Seasons Florists owner losing to the cycle way? As far as I could tell, you couldn't park in front of the shop anyway - it's dashed yellow lines along the entire stretch of road

The path to Privatisation has started! -
Hundreds of roles could go from ACC, as staff learn fate

What tax relief when you don't have a job?? Hundreds of jobs going at ACC. Absolute bloody minded incompetence from these a**holes!!

Just spitballing here, but maybe if landlords got asked *constantly* the following questions are often and as publicly as possible:
How do you feel about the disabled kids paying for your tax cut?
How do you feel about kids food being downgraded so that you got extra free money?

First they fire you , then they threaten your benefit with sanctions nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/go…

Of course they're not. Those missing out on tax relief are the 17 percent of Kiwis who receive a benefit or don't pay income tax.
Bottom feeders?
Explainer: Nicola Willis's pre-Budget speech - what we learnt rnz.co.nz/news/political…

‘The work seminar obligation is in line with the Government's goal to crack down on beneficiaries.
Earlier this year, Upston ordered MSD to use the full force of sanctions to ensure those on the jobseeker benefit were actively looking for work.’

Winston Peters If we’re just asking random questions now: How can someone Māori have internalised so much racism that they once lied and described themselves as Italian instead?

confirmation via Newsroom that the poorest 800,000 taxpayers (that's those with incomes under $14,000) will get nothing from the Budget tax cuts.

Their cost of living will almost certainly rise from higher charges though.

Very disappointed with the speaker of parliament,as the coalitions shortcomings are exposed and the coalition becomes more desperate, the speaker must feel he has to give extra protection to the coalition...... democracy at risk...
