Open mike is your post.
For announcements, general discussion, whatever you choose.
The usual rules of good behaviour apply (see the Policy).
Step up to the mike …

Luxin continues the lie about Palestine aided and abetted by stuff and zb
Mr Sorted advisors think the electorate are fools going with this strategy.
The open depths beckon with DP professional Collins on board.
Inflation reaches its highest level in a year and this week’s mega strike.
Q: What is the cause & effect?
A: The Coalition.
Zero inflation with reasonable jobs growth the PREFU had IIRC.
This economic malaise is all their own making, deliberate and targeted.
The sorted V the rest whilst they kick the crap out of the health system and leave no corner of godzone unfkd. A Shane jones speciality.
I don't think the public will pay attention to Judith Collins bleating over the weekend. Amongst other things, the government needs to be reminded of their gutless stance to the genocide and a majority of voters wouldn't object to that.
The coalition hydra have agreed to this.
Competent people cannot manage lending to rules?

PS Used a Taxpayers Union submission process to let the government know that law firms practice the art of making the corrupt pay (and if denied their day in court would hunt the culprit).
Labour has a new policy.
It is bright and shiny and innocent.
Their last idea in this area was the NZSF.
It's flaws were that it was not self-funding and it taxed profits. If it had been based on 1% from employee and employer contributions and retained profits it could be around $150B now (9 unfunded years and compound returns).
Labour is now trying to leverage the success of the NZSF (it does have a good reputation with over 10% annual returns and all) by having them oversee an Investment Fund.
This is its first easily identifiable flaw, the 2 skill-sets are not the same.

Labour announces move to more user pays. Saying, tax can’t be the government’s only source of income.

Seems the policy was rushed as there is very little detail
