What do the IMF know? That’s as daft as Seymour thinking a big National organisation knows better than local.

Local me says debt fuelled property boom please feeding into an economic rockstar economy and 2026 election victory for the right!

We pay enough tax for 2 countries! They even tax the dole! FFS

Exactly. Be smart with what they have.

Record, massive increase in tax take, new top personal tax rate, new top trust tax, rampant tax take… and our govt services go down with crisis in health and education.

The definition of stupid is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results - we don’t need more tax.

No country ever taxed themselves rich. LOWER the taxes

They also endorse very neo lib ideas in the report such as the RMA reforms, tax cuts, fast tracking developments, overseas funding for infrastructure, more public/private partnerships, public service cuts, increased housing….

As right leaning as NZME is, and it really, really is, I don't think a far right anti science anti vax disinformation extremist billionaire is going to be good for New Zealand

Billionaire aiming for NZME's board rejects journalists' concerns

Private equity tycoon Jim Grenon says editorial content is a "side issue" and journalists should be "optimistic" about the future.

Wow… cancel culture before you know the poor bloke.

Ironic when he says we need more editors; more facts and less opinion.

Anti misinformation… and it’s the left that fears this and is starting a smear campaign against him. Proving his point really.

I think that's mildly my point. Personally can't stand 'em, but if they're saying it well......mind you, good to see the world renowned experts on this very forum prove once again that they are the most knowledgeable when it comes to taxation.

Not really Wiz. Try again.

Not really what? All facts.

Why is a former Labour MP run union commenting on a board/ ownership change in a private company?

Sounds like he has the experience needed and will be good during challenging media times.

More editors, more facts and less opinion is EXACTLY what the failing media need be they left or right biased.

I suppose the fear is all the new editors will share his poitical views and it'll end up like Fox News, and Chantelle Baker will be the new Judy Bailey. Time will tell though.

So, Winnie doesn’t like DEI…. but NZ First’s constitution talks about gender, race etc when selecting candidates. It’s a bugger when your party’s constitution comes back to bite you on the butt.

In true Trump fashion, if he doesn’t like the rules he will just ignore them won’t he?

What does a shameless populist really believe in? The answer's blowing in the wind.

Shouldn’t all politicians be populists? Read the mood of the nation and react to it.

I’m so glad we dont have to pretend to care about the environment, climate change and DEI anymore. All just tired old pre-Trumpian politics that in hindsight was never going to last.

Rip up the constitution Winnie .

Not in an idiocracy, we might be even more fucked if they listened to us

You honestly don't have a close relationship with fact.

Yeah stop ignoring facts Wiz

We keep trying to tell Webby how to do his job, so why not politicians as well?

When you think about it, this whole forum is a bunch of guys from around the world, from NZ to Canada to Assyria, and the one thing we have in common is our love for the Warriors and ignoring the facts.
