‘Advertising for that event included two pistols with flags coming out of them. Asked if that was appropriate, Waititi said it was "provocative"
Non violent protest organised with guns on the advertising… hmmm
Not sure what you are inferring here, the protests went ahead without any violence as planned.‘Advertising for that event included two pistols with flags coming out of them. Asked if that was appropriate, Waititi said it was "provocative"

They're protesting because the new coalition government are degenerating the language & seeking to minimise the governments obligations under the treaty.
The poster rightly points out how absurd it is for a new government to be peeling back legislation & progress made while the parties were previously in power.
Is it really that hard to understand?
On a positive note - at least they're not receiving funds from international groups looking to disrupt democracies like the protest you were so enamoured with.‘Advertising for that event included two pistols with flags coming out of them.

These protests are only going to get worse - Being a "too much too soon" chap, I thought you would be able to see that?

I guess the potholes will eventually join to rivers when it rains under Labour…
I just never got that one
If you actually care to take note, and read, and listen and look and comment honestly you might be able to answer your own questions instead of the contrarian neoliberal rainbow we see most of the time.
Potholes. Underfunding. To make the books look good. To pay for tax cuts. To pay for contractors who don't deliver and charge the earth. To fix roads that are underfunded. And around we go.Isn’t that clearer than a canoe on a road?

Well there was also the huge antivax, antiscience and extremist element as well.
Most of your commenting seems to come from privilege, or at least you infer it does. Old school to say the least. And....who knows, you draw your own conclusions and spit them out.So nothing?
I’ve just never seen protests before about making everyone equal
Disingenuous and divisive comment - the protests are anything but Wiz, as you well knowSo nothing?
I’ve just never seen protests against making everyone equal
When two members of the coalition of chaos can't even get the name right, it's a bit embarrassing.Isn’t that clearer than a canoe on a road?

A person with an ounce of common sense would look up what Waka Kotahi meant if they didn't know, and most would remember it from then on. Or you know, see they are already displaying both Maori and English names as part of their logo.

Analysis: Govt's mini-budget will be test of NZ's no-surprises finance rules
Is it possible for an outgoing government to leave fiscal "nasty surprises" for the incoming government to deal with?
I'm going for a mix of both smokescreen and some misleading book-keeping from Grant. Obviously there is always politicking from both sides. Given previous miscalculations, budget over runs and lack of delivery I would say its more weighted towards Grant not being straightI'm going with the smokescreen to walk back promises

$51 Billion Of Labour’s Policies Remain Unfunded

Core Labour promises left unfunded
“Labour is desperate to balance the books, dishonestly leaving core policies unfunded to make their numbers add up. Free school lunches are unfunded from July 2025, and the Screen Production Grant has no appropriation from this year. Labour has even failed to continue Pharmac’s $120 million...

That's what the PREFU is for. And it's all there. If this mob had misgivings they should have called it then. Otherwise, given their 100% lie rate, I'd say they're about to not tell the truth.I'm going for a mix of both smokescreen and some misleading book-keeping from Grant.

Yup nothing to see here, just ignore the links
They have been called out, Seymour did almost straight away. Given Grant's predeliction for spending, borrowing, miscalculating and blowing budgets it's not hard to see where the main issues lie.
He is easily the worst finance Minister we have had for a fair while.
