shit media in nz, just gets worse

Well, based on the recent turn of events, we can all look forward mightily to the introduction of a capital gains tax on 01 April 2021. Jacinda now appears to be numero uno leader of the free world, popularity seems sky high and thus a second term looking more likely. My only hope then: if they are going to put a CGT in place, let it be on every fucking thing people own - including their own homes. Let every bastard who votes them in feel the burn, including the strong inflationary pressures that drive up costs and reduce spending power.

There is no excusing that the Chch shooting incident was horrific and deplorable, but people are now caught in an emotional wave around their prime minister and mistakenly attributing national leadership capability (and understanding) to her based on her reasonable statesmanship around a tragic event. These are mutually exclusive skill sets. But, the sheep like to follow things that are shiny and glittery. Even if it is over a cliff.

I will take Jacindas decisiveness and empathy over keys smirks polytail pulling and total denial of problems like NZ housing crisis and under funding of healthcare.

Let’s Tax this just bought my neighbours house for 474k in HB. Was nothing wrong with it but their agents have spent 10-15k on needless upgrades to it. Like taking out a perfectly good gas caluphont and installing an outdoor HWC....
Meanwhile some hardworking couple prob just got priced and outbid by the Govt again... isn’t that just fantastic....

John key was putting people up in motels he was also buying motels , so whats your point?
they were spending $140,000 a day on emergency accommodation."
National sold off 10,000 state houses in this period.
At the same time they sold off 10,000 state houses and pocketed the money
Would you rather they did That?

I try to avoid the 'News' if I can ,but reading that a few suggest The Tooth Fairy be in line for a Nobel Peace prize !!!!!!!

I was thinking maybe an 'Oscar' would be more appropriate ??

Seriously what the actual fuck?
She showed up, she read a speech written by someone else dressed in the clothing of a religon she dosent belong to.
I agree she should be getting an oscar, not a nobel prize.

Oh the scarf is probably appropriate, but yes the rest of the act looks horribly like typical social justice warrior point scoring, a virtue signaling opportunity not to be wasted.

Now imagine Simon Bridges in that same role? *shudder!*

The cynicism is strong here.

Perhaps, it's born of...guilt...apathy...ignorance?

Only people I've seen whinging about the events since the attack, are aging white folk. Mostly blokes, but the women of that generation tend to just parrot their husbands anyway.

Y'all wanna take a good long look in the fucken mirror, and check yourselves. Policy aside, her actions in the last week and a half are beyond reproach. Why tear her down for being the absolute best of us? It's not all her of course, there is a team coming up with ideas for what to do. That still doesn't take away from it.

John key was a vapid hollow shell he was was known to boast how when he worked for ...

At least he worked and was not just a speech writer for Tony Blair... another failed looney.

You must be a real bunch of no hoppers

I had a moon hopper as a kid. Does that count?

... dressed in the clothing of a religon she dosent belong to.

Presumably she happily supports the religion, where mutilating females is a requirement?

John key traded options of currency, he also was high up in a company that went broke due to the path it was his ideas to follow.
Jacinda wasnt a speach writer she was a senior policy adviser.
She used volunteered in a soup kitchen in New York.

Funny a nation a supporter would even mention religion after all that what the basic reason is with national God before country aye.

[Swoop]

Totally overqualified to run an actual country then...

the basic reason is with national God before country aye.

A poor attempt from a fervent leftist. Surely you meant to say "Corporations before Country"?

What retards genuinely believe in an actual genocidal sky-pixie?

Well, in the case of a lot of aging white blokes It's born of a lifetime of having socialists steal their money.

And behaving almost human in a situation where that's obviously and absolutely called for doesn't detract from the fact that they believe that demanding money under threat of violence is a cool idea.

So take your mirror and shove it, I'll reproach them to whatever extent they deserve to be reproached.

Ah, a clueless scaremonger.

The Muslim faith requires no such thing these days, and it wasn't ever mainstream back In ye olden days.

Though it is abhorrent as a practice of course, it's fucken rare.

Prolly not as rare as you having an original thought though.
