Ffs 🤦 how about they tax the Uber wealthy and invest in infrastructure.
#nzpol Is the government so broke that it will allow "at least three years of ageing Interislander ferries plying the notorious stretch of water with no viable rescue vessel if things go wrong"? thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... 1/3
Cook Strait rescue tug going with no replacement
Transport Minister Chris Bishop blames “a significant escalation in costs and little clear benefit” for calling it quits on a replacement.

This is how any country violated by neo liberalism and the #AtlasNetwork have been corrupted.
A reminder that the US is our future if we don't make this a #onetermgovernment.
Mobilising the non voters in your life is one of the best things you can do to fight this corruption.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

First Dr Gary Payinda now "high-profile economist Craig Renney to run as its candidate in Wellington Bays in next year's election.".
Not surprising at all Craig Renney is running for Labour but surprised that Labour is announcing new progressive candidates this early before the election.
