Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown: Central govt is withdrawing funding while capping rates & telling lies about it Council costs are going up thanks to central gov decisions & withdrawing funding eg for public transport, social services, homeless Nat's plan is to force Councils to privatise & sell assets

National speed running economic crash & private tech displacement in NZ: "We're going to bring AI and digitisation to the public sector like private businesses are doing"

In NZ, central government takes 90% of all public tax revenue. Councils across NZ are struggling. The most significant cost drivers are: water infrastructure, roads & other infrastructure. Councils have few revenue options and National is pushing them to sell assets & privatise

David Seymour, NZ Broadcasting Minister, calls TVNZ a "bad actor" for covering Mark Cameron's comments about hanging those he disagreed with a "short rope". He later says TVNZ caused ACT to do more poorly in the polls than it could have

Intelligent presentation by Greens Party MP candidate @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social What's also true is that Te Tiriti protects from rampant foreign corporatisation & privatisation - and that it's why it is a must take down for the current Government, something Seymour previously admitted

Bro love Obvious why this is the only program NZ PM Luxon never misses weekly and enjoys being on - he can be himself

Labour's Vanushi Walters has a double Law degree from #Auckland Uni & Masters in International Human Rights Law from #Oxford And it shows Credible person & the points she raises aren't surprising esp. given Luxon wanted to publicly side with the US on Iran & Winston tried to kiss Trump's ring

David Seymour's new Ministry of Regulation cost ~$20 million every single year - that's $200 million over a decade & 4 times bigger than the Productivity Commission Seymour was also given $153 million for private schools which he gave to Jamie Beaton, John Key & FSU's Jonathan Ayling etc

Ani O'Brien tries to justify National Party hit as media's sweet desserts. Media hold public figures to account. 4th estate is key to safeguarding democracy & public interest scrutiny. A private spat at drink, apologised for immediately & accepted, doesn't meet standard of care

It's hard to get around LA with these gas prices so high. They just hit $5.76 today. Let's be real: there's one cause for these high prices, and it's Trump's reckless war in Iran.
