    By: Chris -

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361037700/nicky-hagers-dirty-work-belongs-fiction-section Idiot Penk’s trying to reinvent himself as some kind of political guru. What a fuckwit.

  2. Comment on Unmasking the TaxPayers Union as the Tobacco Protection Union

    By: Chris -

    And it’s a sadder indictment on what NZ has become that many wouldn’t even know we have a corrupt organisation like the Taxpayers Union openly directing coalition policy.

    Interest deductibility should apply to the first rental property only, so remove it from the second rental property onwards, to target more the full-time investors rather than small time landlords.

  5. Comment on Is the Opportunity Party left wing?

    By: Chris -

    The OP has been strategic by focussing on things everyone can relate to like cleaning up politics, being open to work with either side, bridging the left/right divide, getting on with things. They’re well aware that pushing the detail of their policies to …

    By: Chris -

    The campaign chair doesn’t decide the campaign strategy or the policies the party will be campaigning on. I hope it isn’t what they’re planning right now but it does look like Labour’s strategy is again about sleepwalking its way into government. Hipkins’ …

    By: Chris -

    Highlights how entrenched the concept of property rights is, so much so that when remedial provisions that in fact help keep the whole unlevel playing field going are needed, these too are criticised as theft.

  8. Comment on Daily review 11/08/2026

    By: Chris -

    That’s what Hipkins did last time while the nactoid black ops up-ended one left-bloc candidate / MP after another and Hipkins had nothing prepared to throw back at them except gst off fruit and vegetables.

  9. Comment on Will he stay or will he go?

    By: Chris -

    I think TOP will be the new broom that saves Labour’s bacon. That’s the way the numbers will roll on election day.

  10. Comment on Will he stay or will he go?

    By: Chris -

    Penk’s a complete waste of space. Even Simon Bridges would call him fucking useless.

    Maybe his replacement won’t be so desperate to tow the US line? That’d have to be a good thing.

    It’s not difficult to imagine Brownlee saying precisely that and more. I know who I’d believe.

    Why has Bradbury gone to the free speech “union” for support? You’d think someone like him wouldn’t want anything to do with this mob let alone ask them for help. Bad strategy, Bomber, very bad strategy. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/361016121/stuff- …

  14. Comment on Open Mike 04/08/2026

    By: Chris -

    I’m wondering whether TOP’s policies being more closely aligned with the current mob’s is actually the case? They seem to have some fairly progressive ideas that look like they’d be more at home within a Labour-led coalition than with the nactoids.

    By: Chris -

    Thanks, wholly sycophantic. I get to keep my house.

  16. Comment on Open Mike 29/07/2026

    By: Chris -

    I think TOP’s strategy of remaining open to negotiate with anyone and its message that we’re sick of tribal politics and the polarisation that comes with it is a good one. Whether it’s despite or because of their suite of progressive policies we mightn’t …

    I think Morgan’s idea for a party was generally pretty sound, but it fell down on the ill-informed detail. This new and improved version might just be enough to oust the current clowns.

    By: Chris -

    It’s interesting how advances in neuroscience have shifted the pendulum more towards explanations rooted in biology and less in beliefs around phenomena that are culturally learned.

  20. Comment on Stuart Gnash

    By: Chris -

    Stuart Nashional needs to set his sights higher and nail a place on Act’s list instead of pissing around with lightweights NZF. He needs to get off his arse and talk to Seymour now.

  22. Comment on Green Party calls for union membership as default setting for new employees 

    By: Chris -

    The abuse of migrant workers is hidden but rampant, with only a handful of cases seeing the light of day.

  23. Comment on Opportunity knocks.

    By: Chris -

    What’s brought you to this conclusion? I thought their policies sounded quite progressive.

  24. Comment on Open Mike 14/07/2026

    By: Chris -

    Yes, all completely valid, but it cuts both ways, depending on a whole bunch of variables.

  25. Comment on Opportunity knocks.

    By: Chris -

    I don’t know why they do that, perhaps it’s their way of aiming for widespread appeal which is then converted into votes? Really don’t know, but their strategy person would be the one to ask. Again, I wouldn’t know, but the leader has said they’re a party …

  26. Comment on Open Mike 14/07/2026

    By: Chris -

    I can think of far worse coalition partners for Labour than the Opportunity Party. Their rhetoric suggests they’re centrist and can go either way but their policies suggest they’d be far more at home with Labour. This seems a very different party to when …

  28. Comment on Opportunity knocks.

    By: Chris -

    The OP is far more suited to work with Labour and the Greens.

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360995099/weighing-your-mortality-calculator-your-hand-75000-decision-faced-two-kiwi-mums No doubt Labour’s all over sorting Pharmac out so we can put an end to this sort of nonsense.

  30. Comment on The Alarming Echos between Trump and Luxon on elections

    By: Chris -

    It’s just Luxon separating his political work from his Christian values, surely. No Jesus in the temple for him, just a ticket to lie and steal, very straightforward.
