Is this a good thing? A bad thing? Someone please tell me how to think and either cause outrage or support!

Streisand effect in full force here. Wonder if the comment t would've gone under the radar and they could've delay with Goff quietly.

What am I saying, Peters doing something quietly, yea right.

664 deaths due to covid in the last year?! Jeez.

I happened to pop in to the pharmacy for something, and if it wasn't for a poster advising a new round of free boosters was available I wouldn't have known or gotten one.

Gov. Could do a bit better with awareness and promotion.

We got chickens when facing an egg crisis here in NZ. Lovely little animals. It's been nice being able to look after and care for these creatures, knowing they are living the good life whilst consuming their eggs. Much more useful than my dumb dog.

You have far more patience than I do for dealing with this Muppet. Good on you, and hope you have a nice day!

Maybe a solution is to increase the amount people get through the benefit system.

But to be clear, I'm definitely talking about the <1% of tenants who are taking the Mickey, and I don't think what KO has been doing in the recent past has really worked for them.

As someone who's skipped the whole OE and worked hard to scrape together a house deposit, living in a not too great area surrounded by KO homes whilst struggling somewhat to pay the mortgage, I don't get the sensationalism surrounding the news articles focusing on KO lately. Like, I'd love to be able to live in a nicely insulated home where the cost won't exceed 25% of my income. If people take the mickey in this situation we shouldn't be giving them a rent free pass? ie rewarding people for not playing their part in society. Alternative headline: Tenants who don't pay rent get evicted.

Luxon too scared to front up to media regarding the new ferry announcement.

What a piece of work.

Don't have the most faith in grandpa peters tbh.

$528 for a teeth cleaning and a filling in the capital. Inc. Student discount. Is this the norm now or have I been scammed?
