The malice and spite of the NZ Right should disgust decent Kiwis – and it is!
The vicious nature of this Hard Right Government led by a weak Luxon is bearing a harvest of spite from voters who feel genuinely angry at what is happening.

The truth is Luxon has been a flop, he is too weak and he is too arrogantly rich.
Seymour and Winston play him like a fool and his ability to make things worse with his deep hatred of poor people is becoming a tad pathological now.
Begging rich people to exploit us at a summit seems masochistic even for the Political Right.
Voters want stability, they don’t want race wars.
Voters want their house prices to go up, they don’t want hungry kids eating shit food.
Voters want less gridlock, but they don’t want to see more homeless.
All National have are Austerity Budgets that borrow billions for tax cuts while hollowing out public service budgets. They strangle the common good for their donors interests.
Luxon’s marmite sandwich response to the corporate slop Seymour has served up cements into place voters deep dislike of rich blokes shitting on the poor.
We are a better people than this right wing spite and the polls are reflecting that.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Luxon is sorted and he has a nasty streak with his regular crapping on the poor from his lofty heights.
The CoC Govt. has crashed a number of food banks via NGO cuts, then wonders why people are reduced to shop lifting and petty crime.
He will regret his Marmite sandwich jibe soon enough, an image of him with an apple stuffed in his gob would be a good meme or poster.
No better to shove the apple up his (luxons) arse he might have an epiphany
And let’s not forget the current coalition government are now pushing for the minimum wage to be paid to employees and not the living wage.
And….while not quite on the subject of MB’s article, that this government puts Rawiri Waititi of Te Pati Maori before the privileges committee for participating in a wonderful haka in the house – a haka that was totally appropriate in response to Seymour’s dreadful Te Tiriti Principles Bill, yet it tolerates the dreadful racist comments by Peters and Seymour also made in the house.
“and a reasonable portion to be saved..”
That has always been an unattainable pipe dream for me, and I suspect, for a high proportion of others.
i THINK EVERY HIGH FLYER COMMING TO THE FREE FEED THIS WEEK SHOULD READ THOSE POINTS ABOVE SO THEY KNOW WHAT AN ARSEHOLE SOAP SALES MAN THEY ARE DEALING WITH .MIND YOU MOST WILL HAVE DONE THEIR HOME WORK AND KNOW THAT HE IS A NOBODY ANY WAY .
Yes, and NZers need to realise if they vote for the COC again it will be user pays, move privatisation, more taxes, lower wages, more immigration, destruction and exploitation of our environments and resources, more inequities. Now do we really want or need this?
Covid – do you mean fewer taxes?Seymour hates tax. Deputy Luxon isn’t a fan either. Peters is probably more balanced.
