Very expensive for RSE workers Luxon wants to bring here in their 1000's to increase our productivity. Half a days wages for really hard work already for smokes.If tobacco tax increases for Willis and Luxon's bougie tax cuts will be half a weeks wages for RSE.

Tax cuts will be. I guess it depends on the type of govt spending. Covid relief payments to businesses probably were but we came out of covid with some of the best economic metrics in the OECD. More importantly, how is it OK to be austere with people in need and still give tax cuts?

Seymour is an arrogant prick with bugger all real life experience before joining RW Canadian think tank. He puffed on 100 Peter Stuyvesant ciggies a day while plotting his rise as Libertarian politician with Tim Jago Act party chairman for last decade.

Shane Reti knows this. Vaping is dangerous. Aussie public health researchers have figured this out. Why hasn't Dr Shane from Harvard??

Difference between Seymour and Peters is quite simply David Seymour would never have been turned down looking as Pakeha as he does for a decent flat in a nice,leafy suburb near University. Winston had added expenses.and baggage. Taihoa on the harsh judgements.

On the issue of academic freedom, Wiles' team called Jack Heinemann as their expert witness. I thought Heinemann's argument was sound: university policies need to be consistent with academic freedom rather than constructed in opposition to it in some sort of balancing exercise.

...pioneered entire fields of polluting and corrupting our information ecosystem - and are directly linked to the climate denial movement - in order to sell a product which they clearly understood killed millions.

Seymour way more dangerous than Winston. Luxon from The Upper Room trumps them all. Time MSM woke up..

That fits venal Seymour and Luxon more than Peters.

We can have a pissed as a chook anglo/Irish pakeha guy as PM like Muldoon or Pinot guy like Key get away with BS. As soon as lefty wahine pokes her head above parapet the entire weight of the press gallery begins attack.Todd Muller got easy ride for his MH problems why is Tory Whanau different?

Bernard Hickey added to this with his Kaka post this morning. Worth reading. Willis is sentencing young Māori women in particular to lifetime of suffering. This is tragic policy. Coalition is a disaster already.Shane Reti should be feeling whakama for rest of his term.

Foreign buyers did that in 2013. Ling Hai sale went through quietly. Seabed and Foreshore gifted back in a hurry.. Key Gov not exactly transparent.
