Bear that in mind this afternoon. It beats the hell out of the NZFirst's Woke Bingo card, on farcebook, which is a shocker...
all you pearl clutchers will need a lie down
Well no, I was well prepared. No contact lenses so I could just yell 'I see nothink!' at the screen and pretend it was just another day in my continuing fascinating life.
I just need to make sure I avoid all post mortems and my pearls can remain unsullied by sweaty fingers. If I had any that is. Pearls I mean, not fingers...

And given the previous govts over the last 40 odd years, if the Greens were to become govt then it is crystal clear that they can scarcely do worse - in fact that would be extremely difficult.
Imo, there really is NO good reason as to why a very wealthy person should be involved in politics at all. I'd like to see a ban on very wealthy people being able to enter politics, lest we end up like America.
that would include comrade ardern she’s done ok since she ran away
the dumpster fire she was going on about was one she started
She's doing a lot better since she went international. All those speaking engagements must be very lucrative. And a hell of a lot less stressful, even in Trump country.
Good on 'er. She's earned it.

No doubt today's Budget will demonstrate how effective the current government's strategies are directing solutions to these and other issues. I'm not holding my breath in that regard.

As for the Greens, hell, they can't do any worse than the other lots surely, when it comes to budgeting? After all, none of them are wealthy, (unlike both the current lot AND this country) but they still seem to know how to pay their bills...

Yes, we really do not want a coin operated leadership...
