    How come Health New Zealand has waited almost three years to add hundreds of Nurses when many NZers have been suffering. I guess we all know the answer to this, but I find it to be appalling when our Nurses and other medical staff working at many of our …

    It doesn’t matter who we have more of the election is close based on poll trends anyone could win and the swing voters and not yet enrolled yet have the potential to change the outcome.

    Really B-donna why would you firm your vote up now, what’s the rush. I prefer to hear what each party has to say and offer us. I like to listen to the political debates and how they counteract other parties’ policies and ideology. I want to hear how they …

  6. Comment on The Government suddenly wants to limit the damage it has caused to our climate response

    The climate change talk from Luxon is utter bollocks as is the social media ban for under 16s. How is the ban going to be regulated, no law has been passed to enforce it, and our PMs track record is not good and that is putting it mildly.

    I think we should wait for the books to be opened its no good having a plan and no way to pay for the plan that is why we are in shit, too much personal debt in our country, as too many NZers are living above their means. Now if there is no policy to …

    Luxon is a people pleaser, he tries hard to please his audience who mostly vote for his party. He shoots from the hip and does not think about what yuck rolls out of his mouth. He has tendency to blame. He is a poor public speaker who lacks tact and he …

    Yes, I agree with you Incognito, the use of the fast track is a blatant abuse of power. Fast track should only be used in extreme circumstances like an environmental disaster, an epidemic or war. I see there has been a few backdowns, but it is election …

    The first solution to the problem is to vote the COC out, the second solution is to prioritize the most important issues impacting on most NZers, like the costs of living, creating sustainable decent paying jobs, housing etc

  12. Comment on How To Ensure Power Shifts

    Yes, Res Publica however if the new government does not get rid of the current government appointments it will be like leaving a rotten apple in with a bunch of good apples and they will also undermine a new government as has been done in the past. So far …

  13. Comment on How To Ensure Power Shifts

    Yes, I agree with you Advantage if Labour and other parties get in power, they need to be ruthless starting with getting rid of those appointments in government departments put there primarily to divide and destroy. They need to write the list as you have …

  16. Comment on Open Mike 05/08/2026

    All this from a government that promised localism, during the last election they also made many other promises mostly not delivered. Now we have a lot of people whinging about their new water bill from Tiaki Wai. I hope these aren’t the same people that …

  19. Comment on Kamikaze Chris does Labour a favour

    Yes, Mercurio the problem with some of those middle to upper income voters is many got a leg up from previous governments the ladder had not been pulled up unless they were born into wealth which many weren’t. I suggest if you want state house voters go …

    If our politicians want to keep their entitlements, I suggest they do the same for many NZers. And I am not just talking about benefits or accommodation supplements what about ACC entitlement such as the loss of potential earnings. I say this as I know …

  23. Comment on National wages war on the poor

    The current government is being mean to local government they have been bullying them lately despite all their rhetoric about localism to sell their local water done well policy before the last election.

  25. Comment on National wages war on the poor

    Look they probably already have policies to make sure people who can afford to go private do as tenants have to fill out a form every year on income and sign a declaration saying who lives there and how much they earn etc. HNZ would hire a private company, …

  27. Comment on Open Mike 21/05/2026

    I see now National have released another policy making it harder to get into state housing and a rent increase saying they want to make it fairer to those in private rentals. Having been a state housing corporation tenant for many years they had some good …
