If you’re feeling a bit down about the world right now, and could use some more positivity/optimism in your life, then this is likely to be worth your time: youtu.be/ZzOMmMFQZWs

Governance must be grounded in wisdom. Greed and corruption are far too prominent, unrestrained in our politics & government. ( #nzpol - see “Sum of large donations in 2026 by party” charts, etc.) Wisdom dictates publicly-funded elections, maximum transparency. Clip from youtu.be/vEeXaiQnNTE?...

Yup. Extra weird, given the sources of this philosophy. U.S.A. has become a project to undo its own founding principles. ‘…all are created equal… endowed with unalienable Rights …the consent of the governed…’ (Great starting point; but why keep following the U.S. now?) youtu.be/vEeXaiQnNTE?...

If we keep doing what we’ve been doing, then we will keep getting what we’ve been getting. Widening and entrenching wealth inequality is not ‘good economic management’. Our tax system needs to change. youtu.be/BJcpgg6-hNA?t=23m10s #NZPol #Election26 #TaxWealthMoreTaxWorkLess #TaxWealthNotWork

His name’s Ngauranga. When he’s in the right mood, he’s a good big bro to little sis Dusty.

“You live in this country, you’re the right person to be talking about it.” Well said, @chewienz.bsky.social #NZPol #BigHairyNews #TreatyPrinciplesBill

So, just so everyone’s all caught up: This government *will* make policy choices that make NZ’s economy & society worse for most people, & *will* lie right to your face about it actually being good for you. They’ve been doing it, & they’ll keep doing it, & don’t you believe ‘em for a second. #nzpol

They are making choices. NZ needs to make a better choice at the 2026 election. (Clip of Craig on BHN from www.youtube.com/live/QpEmVze...)

Chewie droppin’ truth-bombs on BHN again last night. Some really important ideas discussed in this episode. I’d highly encourage you to make time to listen. www.youtube.com/live/xtXZbXd...
