Some discount the polls and they often aren’t directly on the money but there’s been too many now for national to ignore the trend

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Theres also these other morons out there that bitch and moan about the media constantly.

Do you think the article might be drawing the reader to make their own conclusions on why the government is funding a charter school for a niche brand of Catholicism... when the local community is already served by two other Catholic Schools nearby by & the government are preaching austerity?

Irrespective of the rights & wrongs of the funding, it is ridiculously inflammatory & inaccurate to make reference to the Da Vinci code & description as secretive. It’s classic media trying to manipulate public opinion with false reporting.

Labour moving into contention but only by cannibalising Te Pati and the Greens at the moment.

The real test is when all the policies of both major parties come out and we see the direction they want to take the country.

The centre voters will decide it and with the economy getting better Labour will find it increasingly difficult to win more voters.

And who will be leader of each party leading into the next election. Both parties could have new leaders next year.

Will be interesting to watch how the media try to spin it as the economic data improves. Still would like to see Luxon removed.

Just pointing out the recent polling trend. Again, only polling but national not seen as the better option on 15 out of 20 issues shows they’ve got a bit of work to do. I certainly don’t think Luxon has long left as leader of the national party

Luxon reminds me of former Labour leader David Shearer..... nice enough person but with the charisma of a beige coloured suit. Hasn't done a lot right.... nor a lot wrong.... just boring as hell!!!

Time to set aside. I don't think National has anyone with the "Jacinda effect" if they leave it as close to the election as when Little stepped aside for JA in 2017.

It's definitely not ridiculous to characterise Opus Dei as secretive. That's the whole schtick.

Luckily the article didnt bring up Corporal Mortification or this schools association with Redfield college in Australia.

It's weird to get more butthurt about the Da Vinci code then a questioning why this gets government funding.

Greens announced they are going to cancel all fast track mining consents if they get in.

And this folks is why international companies steer clear of us, why our recession is so deep and long and why our standard of living is falling.

We’re already an international laughing stock on the steer list after Jacinda banned oil exploitation by a non policy whim.

We’re making ourselves uninvestible and locking in structurally long term lower standard of living.

And people blame National. Get used to high poverty rates and poor hospital…

It’s nothing to do with being butthurt, I’m not Catholic & I don’t really agree with the school funding. However bringing up the Da Vinci code is about as relevant as referencing Star Wars when discussing the subject.

A CEO said recently we’re referred to as No Zealand by offshore companies. Hard to disagree.

The lefties don’t see it and the correlation with them being poor and struggling.

It’s like parent who raids the household “cupboard” every night, taking all the best snacks for themselves because, well, they can. It feels triumphant in the moment. By the end of the week, the kids are cranky, the pantry is bare, and the grown-up suddenly discovers that those same kids now have no snacks for school, no energy for chores, and no goodwill left to help with anything. The parent “won,” yet the whole house crashes and burns

Taking from the people who generate the goodies can feel like a win, but eventually the cupboards echo and everyone in the house pays the price, and the poor lefties that vote for it are hardest hit by the ensuing poverty.

‘Let’s the. tax the rich’ even more as the downward cycle sends the country down the toilet… longest recession in 30 years after the last left govt sound familiar?

they don’t get it but no idea why. It’s like a chess game where they simply aren’t capable of thinking more than 1 move ahead.

From the “Some Landlords are shit” file.

IRD are currently spending a ton of money investigating tradies doing cash jobs….and their investigations have picked up additional people ripping off the tax system.

While auditing tradies, they’ve found disparities in the paper work for some properties owned by landlords where quotes and worksheets having shown one address but invoiced to another property.

And why is that wrong? Because the landlords are getting things like painting, electrical, plumbing work done on their main property but had the tradie issue invoices for a rental property. Why? Because the landlords are then claims the invoices for work not done on the rental properties as maintenance of their taxable income.
