Try and buy something NZ Made or local during Black Friday.

Your money will help a local business rather than the billionaires.

You want society to just solve an actual problem, as opposed to using some prohibitional, performative nonsense to pretend we’ve done something about it?

We can’t do that, it might affect value-add returns for billionaire shareholders who don’t pay tax…

As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?

How to lose money in an area rich with public transport, add car parking.
This is the idea of the Eden Park CE, and not a very smart one at that.
As well as pissing off everyone who lives there.

Eden Park eyes space for 1500 car parks to replace outer oval in stadium overhaul
Park bosses are also keen to see a footbridge connect directly with nearby Kingsland.

You might worry about your own personal abilities and competence, but you will never be as delusional as Steve Witkoff, the US Special Envoy to Russia, who reportedly believes that Russia has “always wanted a peace deal.”
Maybe don’t repeatedly invade your neighbours, if true?

Yeah, so, Labour and the Greens, another one you can promise to reverse this in the first 100 days under urgency. Get a unitary “revoke the following legislation” bill drafted up.
