I hate Timothy Leary but one good story about him is they gave him a psychological test when he went to prison and found out that he was meek and posed no risk and then he escaped from the minimum security prison by swinging on the telephone wires, because he had written the test they had given him.

92% of people who pay tax in this country would get a tax cut under the Greens' budget. So what angle does NZ Herald's Thomas Coughlan take? He says some nurses could pay an extra $3 more a week because of recent pay equity gains. Pathetic.

Having worked at ACC, I know for a fact that sexual abuse claims often result in the longest term requirements in terms of ongoing support. This is a cost-cutting exercise.

Elon Musk changing AI to do Holocaust Denialism is 100% what everyone was warning about. And it's only being caught because Elon Musk is a ham handed loser with no real talent. A competent person behind the scenes using AI to spread propaganda will be absolutely armageddon for truth as a whole.

I am not against Grant writing columns, but if you've written a few hundred words praising the politicians you give money to, that fact should be the first piece of information readers should know. Not the last.

Exactly! Do not be distracted! Online misogyny against women MPs is already at a crisis point and that's not what was going on here. Let's focus on the real world impacts of the structural misogyny in law and policy.

If NZ had kept on track with SmokeFree, EV incentives, the new electric ferries, etc etc, we wouldn't need to spend so much on health, but that's not the RW way. The RW way is to keep us sick and make us pay for it.

Idk but it feels like JuCo claiming the reason the penalties for TPM were so extraordinarily severe was that it was argued they could have intimidated MPs in their votes, when in fact the votes had already been recorded, should be a fucking big deal.

I would say that most healthcare professionals would be totally good with this if it meant a properly resourced and functional health system. The benefits in professional life would be well worth the $3. Did he bother to even ask any registered nurses for their thoughts?

Everyone needs to remember the victory lap taken by Coughlan, & the rest of the gallery, over National's tax policy in 2023 - an outright lie that the gallery helped feed to the public Craig Renney revealed that lie a week from the election & the gallery blamed the public for listening to them

ACT is the abusive political partner that you picked up in a club. They tell you that they are an “entrepreneur” but it’s clear they are just living off inheritance. The’ve stolen your money, hacked your phone and abused you & your friends. You’ve reported them, but their uncle is a KC. #nzpol
