@garypayinda.bsky.social What if frontline public service staff had salary matched to aussie state median salary. i.e. nurses, police, teachers etc. Would that work to stop the flood out if NZ? Pay for by matching tax brackets with aussie.

Bloody hell. At wellington ED unexpectedly and #Nickynoboats and Simeon swan on by with gaggle of supporters. If they are not announcing pay rises for nurses or lots of extra funding for health then how dare they walk through the ED with those smirks.

Budget Qs. How long in advance did MoF realistically know she was cutting pay equity to lock that $12 B into budget? & wth 18/19 year olds no benefit. Does maintenance from divorced parents now increase to 20? @clrenney.bsky.social @patbrittenden.bsky.social @chewienz.bsky.social

This US Govt falling apart and losing support faster than any previous. Trumps weird comments about Harvard, RFK and Autism.... list goes on. Reminds me of NZ coalition govt losing support with bad calls on Tobacco, Housing, Health and Treaty Principles Bill.

www.facebook.com/share/v/1AWq... Hearing abt control of women in the 2x2 Christian group is eerily similar to my decinstructuon of mormonism. I struggle to understand how we have a Nat MP in the 2x2s and that Nat leadership let this through vetting. @patbrittenden.bsky.social @chewienz.bsky.social

11-112 votes! The only MPs voting for the #TPB were #ACT. They must put #TeTiriti back in legislation, where removed or changed, & should foot the bill for the $6m+ they wasted. Now to get rid of the #RSB -another very nasty bill waiting in the wings #NZ #nzpol www.1news.co.nz/2025/04/10/t...

So @clrenney.bsky.social can you please confirm, with the trump 90 day tariff pause today, NZ and most the world still has a 10% tariff. The illusion of a relative competitive advantage has gone. The impact of US tariffs on NZ is worse today than it was yesterday?

This is Salt Lake City, Utah. Amazing turnout for #HandsOff rally in a deep red state.

Not content with addressing the German far right AfD party, Musk today addressed the Italian far right Lega party, led by the pro-Putin, anti-gay, anti-Islam Matteo Salvini. Musk’s politics are pretty clear - and pretty dangerous.

The Ferry announcement yesterday amounts to. Trust us we will spend lots more on smaller boats but will save money by not building passenger terminals. The questions is, will that be worth it and how much if any $$ will be saved? #nickynoboats

The road cone hot line is an absolute waste of time. #luxonconehead
