I’m bringing out again when daylight savings ends because it’s genius
Considering it's obviously AI slop, I wouldn't be glorifying it so much.Where’s that picture from? Not any parties campaign!

That's the worst case of false equivalence I've ever seen.
We need a wealth tax because we NEED A WEALTH TAX ON THE BILLIONAIRES, MULTI MILLIONAIRES AND OLIGARCHS. Not because I "follow Chloe".
Mike, you know the green party policies better than I do.
You guys carry on being you, the righties on here just want things to go on as they are and maintain their little world of status quo.
Wiz is a liar and a disinformation merchant. I get you'll call me one, but you can look at anything I post and it's at least verifiable, and I believe to be factual.

Here is the official report of the Covid Inquiry part two.
New Zealand and the government of the time adapted extremely well and saved thousands of lives.
The recommendations outline improvements to be made.

While core Crown expenses (central government operational spending), is 32.5% of GDP in 2024/25 this exclude local government, crown entities, SOE’s and investment spending.
In total approx 42% of the economy is government spending. That’s 8% away from communism (and economic failure) where the majority of the economy is govt run.
Before COVID, NZ government spending was closer to 38–40% of GDP, so we’re had a big increase in govt… and surprise, surprise, the economy and country has faltered.
It’s like communism hasn’t worked anywhere in the world but we’re gonna try it here. Good luck to those calling for more taxes/ CGT/ wealth taxes. Lock in a banana republic economy.
The evidence of the failure due to too much state is slapping us in the face and many still can’t see it, want to double down and blame the right.
Its evident that the right wing countries around the world are successful while we’ve stood still since Covid and everyone (including Ardern) are flocking to them. (And don’t bring up Sweden which has oil).
The evidence is all there for those with any brains and it’s laughable to want more taxes.

Just a communist wishing economic ruin on the country.
Provide any sort of rational evidence this has worked anywhere
This petrol thing is just toilet paper 2026
Usage of fuel remains the same, just like it did during the pandemic toilet paper crisis.
Panic buying, not usage, will result in stock outs
Just chill out and act normal and we will all get by. Probably the healthiest thing to do is always ensure your tank doesn't get down to 25%. Not because of Trump's war, but because your fuel pump won't be prone to overwork and failure

I think it's a little bit deeper than that TBH.
Was there a nation disrupting / bombing toilet paper tankers?
Do other industry supply chains rely on toilet paper?
I feel like you are just trolling at this point.
42% is no where near "communism". If it were, many of the world's most successful capitalist icons would be 'failing.'
For context, France sits at ~58%, Belgium at ~55%, and Norway at ~48%. Even the USA sits in the high 30s now. New Zealand’s current 42% puts us squarely in the middle of the OECD pack, alongside countries like the UK and Australia.
Also talking about Sweden and oil is hilarious as they have no significant oil reserves and rely mainly on high tech manufacturing, timber, and iron ore...
Are you living in the 80s?
Communist?
You are so sold in your stupid beliefs wiz.
Can we get a poll. Who thinks Wiz is a crackpot?

And the ironic things I’ve taken my stupid beliefs and have been super successful in life, while the most lefty ones on here are always bitter, twisted and complaining about the govt every post.
Is Hipkins missus airing their dirty laundry on social media? Or AI bs?
The war is having a negligible impact on fuel supply in NZ. Current NZ stockouts are entirely driven by demand, not supply. According to the experts at Z, NPD, Gull and Waitomo.
We all love to panic during the idea of a crisis
Average price of petrol hits near four-year high as Kiwis urged not to panic-buy
Petrol prices surged again over the weekend as Aucklanders faced a 24c a litre hike.

The looming danger of the supply issue is pretty serious though and the implications to the supply chain and cost of living are dire.
So the comparison to toilet paper isn't really apt at all.
The toilet paper scenario was truely bizarre.

He means to the current supply in NZ. But that's sort of missing the point of the situation.
I've seen people panic buying and petrol stations dry, and the price is over 3 dollars a litre now. We're beyond negligible
Demand driven, not supply driven
People are worried about running out, so they are buying before we run out.
But according to the suppliers, there is a normal level of supply
