Sometimes the mask slips for ACT and you see the pure sociopath beneath.
David did it when he vandalised a Māori vaccination program, we saw out when he declared that Christmas as a holiday was proof NZ was a totalitarian State, and we are seeing it today with ACTs call to have January 2nd taken from you as a public holiday!
WHY THE CHRIST IS DAVID STEALING OUR SUMMER HOLIDAY you ask? Because ACT are so in the corner of bosses, they feel we have too many public holidays and they want to slash January 2nd…
Labour leader Chris Hipkins continues to campaign against National-ACT “cuts”
Two weeks from election day, Labour leader Chris Hipkins has continued to attack a potential National-ACT coalition for “cutting” welfare payments and promising to “steal summer”.
ACT Party leader David Seymour was in Queenstown, announcing small business policy that included a three-year freeze on minimum wage increases, and a removal of the January 2nd public holiday “to absorb the cost” of the Labour Government’s Matariki public holiday.
…that’s such a damaged and malformed view of public holidays and ACT will steal one back for the bosses!
It’s like a creche for Catholic Priests accused of sexually molesting children.
It’s a cancer clinic that is on the side of the cancer.
It’s a an oil company on the side of the petrol.
To rob Kiwis of their New Years holiday because ACT suck the balls of bosses is such an outrageous policy and shows how totally and utterly pathological ACT truly are.
Stealing our public holiday for the bosses shows you how insane ACT truly are.

Better to have dumped Kings Birthday, that is close to Matariki & would have got a lot more support.
@ rw. Yes, yes it would have. The plasti-fascists aka the natzo’s, their psych-clone defense party nz first and strange little seymour would have us republicanised then sold by autumn.
RobbieWgtn: Agree…silly stuff from ACT
Seymour ACT really losing it now.
That makes sense, after all there is precedent for that – they have recently removed Queen’s Birthday as a holiday….
There are two more “stolen” public holidays. The National Day of N.Z. (January 29th) was supposed to remain as a national public holiday, while Dominion Day (September 26th) is supposed to be a bank holiday and an eventual “Monday-ised” public holiday.
STOP 3 HATERS!
Nat. ACT NZF
Best slogan of the election.
No need to dump any Public Holidays, or freeze wages WHATSOEVER.
Total unbridled ‘feeding the greed’.
A votekiller that’s helping swing voters wake up & realise the lunacy on offer from NAct.
No wonder Cluxon is swallowing the rat and kowtowing to Winston in desperation.
Seymour’s a nasty little shit and being so, I believe, motivates him.
He’s weird, he’s rich, he’s short and he’s a narcissistic sociopath ( remember his embarrassing twerking show with jonky’s half wit son? ) so, the sign posts are there to suggest he’ll get frissons and pleasures out of being a cruel little stoat stalking about among us exhausted pigeons. Fucking around with already shit minimum wages, stealing our tiny little holidays, enabling, supporting and cajoling multi-billionaires, multi-millionaires and foreign owned banks while AO/NZ people sleep rough as he indulges in his play book fascism oozing out of the droop eyed little prancing Nancy ( No disrespect to actual Nancy’s intended. ) should alarm the living fuck out of us all.
To hell with David Seymour. New Year is yet another long standing part of our European cultural heritage which these namby-pamby wokesters are trying to destroy, and for no good reason.
Our first university, Otago, built and endowed by the first-footing Scottish pioneers who, unlike our barbarous politicians, held education in high regard, is now a tragic world-trailing pc joke, and for no good reason either. Throughout the world which I know of, New Year, has historically been a time of huge significance at many levels, even if only for a jolly good booze up.
If this moron Seymour sees it as merely a public holiday, then he’s more of an ignoramus than I would have thought possible. Time for him to learn to read, or listen to good music, or ponder ballet, instead of his asinine twerking and cavorting with nasty barbarians like himself. He’s shaping into a bigger little shit than the shortie from Dipton.
He’s always seemed to be a cold little man, taking real pleasure in nothing artistic or beautiful or clever.
What would he contribute to govt. that would be up-lifting and inspiring?
He can’t bear people being happy for a couple of days.
Has to remind them that they live to work, for him and his donors.
So Snow White you are usually accusing the greens, the left in general and Marama Davidson of being woke??now when did the doyen of free speech become woke in your world. Do narcissistic dictator and woke mean the same thing ? Asking for a friend!
The woke can be ghastly wee dictators themselves, just like Seymour. Think differently from them and they start trotting out silly accusations like racism, or sexism, or some other ism. Look at Albert Park. An event organised to give women voices was misrepresented as anti-transgenderism and used as an excuse not just to silence women, but to terrorise them, bully them, and thump them. Seymour may espouse freedom of speech, but so do most reasonable people anyway.
You’re saying Seymour is now a “wokester”?
WTF! I’m getting that vertiginous feeling that words don’t actually mean anything any more. Of course “woke” never did mean anything, but now it can mean anything at all! The political scene is so fragmented and idiotic now. It’s so bad that CountryBoy’s hallucinatory flight into his inner Allen Ginsberg seems actually mundane and rational in comparison.
AB. Seymour’s a wokester insofar as he’s a little shit who isn’t as smart as he thinks he is.
Taking away Jan 2 holiday? Just a stop-gap till he can take your job away permanently via some budget cut or eventually AI. Once you have nothing to do, he’ll give you your holiday back – then castigate you for idleness, cut your benefit, let you die from treatable diseases because treatment is unaffordable, turn the firehose on you as you sleep in a cardboard box on the pavement and encourage the Mark Mitchell clones he’s recruited into the Police to beat you up at random. Happy days!
It will not happen….It is sponsored by the alcohol industry….cheers…
“Seymour’s an odd fellow he works all day”
He Cluxton and Winnie will sort NZ out if they select the best policies from each Party it is that simple. Happy Days Ahead.
Let them try it. I don’t think many workers would turn up on 2Jan and there’d be no organised workers. Act are just plain anti-kiwi.
” To rob Kiwis of their New Years holiday because ACT suck the balls of bosses is such an outrageous policy and shows how totally and utterly pathological ACT truly are. ”
At least Pathological Rat and all the other idiots will get their guns back and the Gentry donating to the ACT party get to economically horse whip the natives like they deserve.
ACT has shown its real agenda and its not about free speech or military weapons.
Definitely RATS but unfortunately not caged.
” The ACT Party says its small business policy package will abolish Fair Pay Agreements, put a hold on minimum wage increases for three years, and remove the 2 January public holiday.
The party said the reason for the removal of the public holiday would be to “absorb the cost of Matariki” public holiday, which was first celebrated as a public holiday last year.
Instead of Fair Pay Agreements, which the party’s leader David Seymour called “anti business” policy, it would be “supporting freedom to contract”

Mosa. Seymour trying to abolish 2jan as a public holiday is butchering the social heritage and traditions which unite us as a community just as Christmas and Easter do, regardless of any religious or other beliefs. Sunday is vanishing as a family day and day of rest when we try not to disturb the neighbours with chainsaws, and if this primitive little savage has his way, all our values risk being tossed out in his worshipping of the golden calf which adds sfa to the quality of most people’s lives. He belongs in times long past, and ideally that is where he’ll soon be.
that would be a neat trick for the ledger. prefer to hear about a framework for governance than frameworks for business. a flat structure where we are all our own MP. no elected officials. just a framework and an AI. lol
