  1. ACT are on the way out…they should never have been allowed to be anywhere near power in the first place….

    Corrupt, unhinged, unworldly and fundamentally stupid, and yet, traitors to New Zealand, National, gifted them seats at the table at the highest level…..

    Lead by a 40 year old virgin snowflake, whose spolit brat sulky faced, rapid blinking demeanour whenever challenged now exceeds the Paula Bennett level of stupidity that hardworking N.Z. taxpayers have had to tolerate and fork out for…..a pathetic and woeful example of leadership.

    Just, as one example, look at the absolute disastrous school lunches debacle….Seymour demonstrating his complete ineptitude by attacking the very nutritious and well organised world leading children’s school lunch programme and turning it into a poorly run hodge podge commercialised unpopular upchuck muck clusterfuck ….

    Pathetic ideological ACT wet dream of a dumb idea…poorly planned and poorly executed… demonstrating that he couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery.

    People have had enough of this clown show ….Kiwis deserve a lot better….ACT will be lucky to make 6% a come election time…under 5% would be a huge win for N.Z.

  2. ” When the belly’s full all else is art. ”
    Frank McCourt (1930–2009) was an Irish-American teacher and Pulitzer Prize-winning author best known for his memoir Angela’s Ashes. The book depicted his miserable, impoverished childhood in Limerick, Ireland, after returning from Brooklyn, NY. He was a beloved NYC teacher for 27 years before achieving literary fame later in life wrote that.
    Are we paying brilliantly minded, well intended, good hearted , kind, emotionally honest people in terminal pursuit of ways to enhance our lives, to honour us and guide us and help us nurture each other in that way which defines humanity as being beautiful, brilliant, empathetic, generous and strong or are we beguiled by greedy halfwits who’s ego’s pave the way for them to defile us and who let loose on us, unnecessary cruelties to sate their monstrous pleasures?
    Hint.
    We inhabit a country that’s 29 thousand square kilometers larger in land area than the UK, is gorgeous and is fertile and kind to us. We have a human population of 5.3 million and we have poverty, fear and exploitation and the statistics show we’re falling further behind the way we once were. We have a casual approach to our precious vote which has seen a surge in far right values which only sows greed and a rise in ugly people in stupid cars driving pointlessley about to and from uglier houses to even more pointless jobz.
    We have the most profitable bankster clans in the world asb, anz, bnz and westpac https://www.stuff.co.nz/money/350557023/the-astounding-profit-australian-banks-make-in-new-zealand-every-hour and are now owned by Australia.
    We have a vomit of politicians spreading out over OUR parliament doing what they like for themselves while we’re caught within a malestrom of property poverty ( refer banksters above) the callopse of which will cause a tax payer payout bankster reset for the already hyper-riche while we will suffer then slave to return to a new level of exploitation.

    Mandate the vote. You, me and we. Must. Vote.
    Ban lobbying then investigate those lobbyists and who they’ve lobbied from 1936 to today.
    God only knows how but launch a public, royal commission of inquiry up and into every single urban AO/NZ multi-billionaire and multi-millionaire both dead and alive immediately while blocking out, say, one day a week on RNZ to report the findings.
    Global Wealth Standing (2025-2026 Data)
    • Top 5-8 Wealthy Nation: New Zealand often ranks within the top five to eight countries for per-adult wealth, frequently trailing behind leaders like Switzerland, the US, and Australia.
    • Median Wealth Rankings: The country is often ranked in the top 5 to 8 for median wealth, which is widely considered a better measure of the “typical” household’s wealth.
    • Median Wealth vs. Average: While the average wealth per adult was around US$393,000–$408,000 in 2024-2025, the median wealth per adult is lower, reflecting that high inequality exists.
    • Wealth Composition: A significant portion of New Zealand’s wealth is tied to property (real estate) rather than financial assets (such as stocks). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
    Individual Wealth Thresholds in New Zealand (2025/2026)
    • Top 1%: An individual needs a net worth of at least NZ$4.73 million to be in the top 1%.
    • Top 10%: A net worth of approximately NZ$1.22 million is required to be in the top 10%.
    • Median Household: The median household net worth in New Zealand was $529,000 as of June 2024, with households under $100,000 considered in the bottom quartile. [1, 2]
    Contextual Factors
    • High Property Prices: High real estate costs drive up the overall net worth figures.
    • Wealth Inequality: While the country is wealthy on average, there is a high concentration of wealth, with the top 10% of households holding nearly 48.5% of the total household wealth as of June 2024.
    • Property Ownership Gap: Households owning their homes have a much higher median net worth ($929,000) compared to those who do not ($57,000).
    • Low Debt Constraints: Property markets in New Zealand have remained strong, even with interest rate increases, although this has contributed to a high debt-to-income
    In other words we’re getting fucked without the kissing and our scant few primary economy farmers are getting a tripple-double dose of the fucks.
    ” • High Property Prices: High real estate costs drive up the overall net worth figures.” Just as well they’re making edible houses then.
