Over the last year Tourettes aka Dominic Hoey and his flatmate Abraham Kunin (The Means) have been toiling away on a new album “Feel Like Shit, Looking Great!”
The pair worked together to produce last summers feel good hit John Key’s Son’s A DJ.
No Losers @ Winz, an objective and rational critique of New Zealand’s welfare system, will be the first single off the album.

As a poem, Dominic has been performing it up and down the country to the delight of tax payers everywhere.
The video was directed by Dominic and wonder child Joel Taco who also filmed, edited and did all the hard stuff.
Maybe you could chuck a seizure warning on that one.
“last 20 seconds could cause a seizure to epileptics.”
Thanks for the warning tophat. Glad I read the comments first! Obviously some strobe/extreme flashing lights in the video?
(Poster, if that is the case, then please do put a warning. It really is a serious health & safety issue for some people. Thanks).
Welcome to the low wage economy where you too , can work for the minimum hourly rate in a casualised dead end job.
If you can find one…
Gotta love that monotone chant the neo liberal loves to put himself into a stupor about … ‘a level playing field ‘ – except that the ‘ level playing field’ doesn’t seem apply to them …
Always struck me as humorous that the ‘level playing field’ neo liberal has such a fit when you mention introducing a progressive tax system and a realistic living wage/hourly rate…
They always seem to go a bit quiet on their beloved ‘level playing field’ theory’s when the above is mentioned…
I wonder why that is….
And I’m sure we all see the funny side of neo liberals spouting off about how successful we are as a society since the 1984 introduction of neo liberalism…
Dilapidated schools
Dilapidated hospitals
Groaning prisons
300,000 kids in poverty as are their parents
Gagging of the media
Funding cuts to social service’s such as Women’s refuge due to govt threats
Gagging of academics due to funding cuts and threats of the same by govt.
Quite a list ,… and that’s only the beginning…
You know…. if I was a neo liberal and I started my little rant about how we are so much better off after dismantling our once prosperous Social Democratic system… if I was confronted with the above list…. I would find the nearest piece of carpet to hide under…
Brilliant. As f*****g sharp as razors.
Oh, and the criticiosm above is right – the strobing effect near the end – @3:04 – is painful to look at. (And I’m not prone to epilepsy or any such thing.)
But still, well done.
Yep Wild Katipo,
WinZ is a fucking joke and a embarrassment to any poor person seeking assistance at this lame brained agency.
My Son now 29 served an apprenticeship overseas for seven years to become a tradesman and returned to his country of birth NZ to get a job, and found out his German tradesman papers were not good for working here, so he applied for WINZ cover until he pays a (2 thousand dollar fee to sit his NZ Licence later this year, to work in his trade, and Winz said after 6 weeks he must take a job picking fruit?????
What an embarrassment to his NZ born father who also is a tradesman, who came home in 1976 from working in Canada and the National Government then helped me up skill to a better tradesman’s ticket but now the new National Government wants to down skill Kiwis and put them on low wage jobs as you said Wild Katipo.
National Key and co must go next year, we cannot let them ruin our kids futures here.
Wow…I would have thought that with the funding crisis for educational institutes in this country they would gladly have accepted a German qualification… instead he has to pay another $ 2000.00 …
All that tells me is someones on the take here and it isn’t you and your son…seven years apprenticeship… and then shat on and told to pick fruit…
Yep…that sounds like the neo liberal owned WINZ…
Mindless, servile , gutless little power trippers watching out for their own arses to protect their own jobs.
It is shamelessly gutless types like this , that give the neo liberal wretch a foot in the back door.
There is no quarter to be given to the neo liberal wretch.
They are an enemy of the people of this Nation.
Well done!!
