ACT promise more winter and death
ACT would end winter energy payment money go round
“The Winter Energy Payment needs to be targeted to those who really need it, New Zealand can’t afford to be spending half a billion dollars on a winter energy payment that goes to millionaires and beneficiaries alike,” says ACT Leader David Seymour.
There aren’t many political parties who promise more winter and death by freezing and get away with it.
The political project of the Right is to constantly starve universal services of funding and then blame the shitty underfunded service and demand it gets cut back even further.
Look at KiwiRail, TVNZ, Public health, Public Education, State Housing etc etc etc.
It’s this game of saying, ‘these people don’t deserve that extra support, let’s cut it back to just the deserving and then work endlessly at narrowing that definition’.
The whole drive is to amputate state revenue so it can’t be redistributed in the first place and then endlessly underfund that service.
Don’t be stupid, don’t get tricked by the self serving logic of ACT, tax the rich and vote Left!

The warm gun lovers and incels at ACT like to go on about individual responsibility–so here is a classic chance for Actoids to display some themselves…
Universality is actually a fair delivery method for many State Payments (essentially transfers from taxpayer to taxpayer), and Winter Energy is NOT compulsory, you can indicate to MSD that you do not wish to receive it.
So here is an idea, this organisation formed in 2019 lets you share some or all of your National Superannuation with others that need it more.

ACT supporters can pull their heads in on reducing entitlements for the rest of us, including minimum wage, and do their bit…
–say no to Winter Energy
–donate part of all of their National Super
I know a guy, rural contractor recently retired, one of my few tory friends, who refers to his National Super payments as his “piss and smokes” money, not that he smokes now, but it is the attitude of a lot of people that like to Bennie bash those on Jobseekers Allowance for bludging.
Pink Batts in internal walls and double glazing. Govt does this, houses won’t need winter energy payment. Besides with Climate Change, Winters are getting warmer.
Yeah right! Who we gonna vote for? Y’ain’t got no left left.
“Friends don’t let friends vote Act”. Not many friends I know would believe they have that level of influence over how their friends vote. Presumably you know lots of people, including friends, who have pretty diverse voting patterns. Unless you are of the school of “Never have kissed a Tory”.
I’m trans, so this doesn’t really effect me, but it is a necessary improvement, especially since the rules require people to refer to me as Zulu Queen.
Act are a bunch of cunts that talk a load of shit they have no problem propping up the rich when it suits their agenda, they are the divide and conquer party and very divisive.
I love my Winter Energy Payments!
The problem is that when I travel overseas, they cancel it. Last year we were in Europe for 4 months, so I missed out. This year we’re doing a couple of shorter duration trips, so they don’t cancel it – we just got back from a month in Japan, which was very nice, but have yet to figure out where to next – the weather is crap, so I fancy somewhere in the sun. Maybe Aitutaki. Any recommendations?
LOL
Laughing at the WEP when the payment offers so much comfort to those who desperately need support shows what an absolute tosser you are. Those who don’t require it that get it can say no. You being one means you are a thieving bastard. And you think it funny? You are definitely right wing.
What I believe is that there are a whole lot of incidents of gun violence that are nothing to do with drugs and are happening in states with ridiculously relaxed gun laws. What’s restrictive about open carry?
