Greens you need to dig your heels in and give *nothing* to this man until he gives you Justice, Finance or more taxes. Draw blood!

just to be clear: Fascism and Communism does not align with the Catholic Church.

The question to ask is: Would an English-language only advertisement in Shenzhen or Beijing also be deemed OK by the native population?
If not, why is it wrong for the local Kiwi population (where English is the lingua franca) to air disapproval over this?
国家党议员陆楠对她这个竖立在Newmarket繁华路口的纯中文广告发话了。她承认这是在同国家党沟通后做的广告，让国家党以为这么做是“尊重多元文化”、“尊重不同的语言和习惯。”
她称因为这个中文广告牌遭受网暴，并归咎于被歧视。她说自己小学时就遭种族歧视，工作之后，从政之后都遭歧视，因为种族、肤色和性别，仿佛新西兰是个种族歧视的国家。
最后她表示自己不会屈服压力，还呼吁华人“不要被他们打倒。”
首先，做这种纯中文广告牌就是一个愚蠢的错误。纯中文广告放在国家党的华社活动没问题；可放在大街路口、众目睽睽之下，一方面是对除中文社区以外绝大多数说英文的新西兰人的无视、不尊重，一方面是对华社的贬低，好像华人是不懂英文、不能融入社会的异类。
很难想象在哈佛肯尼迪学院渡过金的政客会说出这种纯中文广告是“更高效的同华社民众交流。”是“进步”。
很难想象国家党居然会相信、认可她的提议，让这么一个纯中文广告招牌矗立在奥克兰繁华的十字路口— 招骂！国家党不懂华社，难道还不懂洋人社会？至少至少应该是双语广告吧！
搞政治的本应该更懂政治，可陆楠和国家党这通操作的结果却是双输！不仅不大可能提高国家党支持率，甚至可能适得其反！
陆楠，三年高薪的国会议员期间四处风光，捞尽新西兰民主政治所赐的好处。到最后，不反思自己纯中文广告牌的失误，反而归咎种族歧视，不仅彰显其无知，也彰显其傲慢。为了一己之私撕裂族群关系，更是非常不负责的政客的做法！
新西兰真要是种族歧视横行，岂能给你做MP的机会？岂能给你显摆与总理平起平坐、亲密相拥的照片的机会？
从今年大选期间某些华人候选人的种种表现来看，华人候选人无论是并不总是正资产，
无论是对其所属政党、还是对其声称所代表、所服务的华社。

Promise made, promise delivered.
Extra funding for St John ambulance service has just been announced.
NZFirst has always fought for extra funding for St John, we ensured this was again included in the coalition agreement, and we have once again delivered.
We have delivered increases to St John funding since 2017 when we were in government and have continued ever since to fight for more funding for this essential emergency service.
$258 million extra funding will see more much needed additional frontline ambulance staff, more support for recruitment and retainment, funding for better equipment, and better crew safety and wellbeing.
St John is an essential emergency service that all kiwis rely on and they need to be funded properly to do their job.

We have a top level of tax payers who pay an effective tax rate of 9%. That's were the relief is, pity your lot has sold out the bulk of NZers to work for this top corrupt lot.

One of the biggest reasons why I'm for NZ First --- the party has a plan, not only to arrest the de-industrialization of our country, but to actively grow our industrial base as well.

This is exactly what’s wrong with the present-day National Party - its embrace of liberalism has made it indistinguishable from Labour.
Why not just merge parties if you’re so hell-bent on trying to out-Jacinda each other?
Ex NZ PM John Key says says he is "socially liberal and economically conservative"
He boasts of making the National Party, "a lot more socially liberal international in our thinking, welcoming a multicultural society."
He tells us to "go and look at modern New Zealand."
Well I looked at it Mr Key and I'm far from convinced you had the right idea.
Old New Zealand?
It really wasn't too bad at all.
Remember, all you two tick National voters.
New Zealand is not the same country and the Nationals are not the same party.

the promised '220,000 jobs' & 'wage growing faster than inflation' isn't a result of National. It's just Treasury's 4 year forecast from its economic model which assumes growth returns to normal
What has actually happened?
-5,000 jobs lost last quarter
-wages down 1.6% per annum

All I’ll say to undecided voters is that, even if you don’t agree with NZF’s policies or don’t like Winston Peters - their existence in Parliament, in itself, is worth voting for.
NZ First and Winston are the antithesis of the liberal PC class whose white saviour complex give them a need to police our speech, our humour, our faith, our preferences for consumption and even in dating.
I’m voting for NZF because I agree with most of their policies. But even if I didn’t I’d still vote for them simply to spite that snarky white liberal who works as a “consultant” and lingers on Reddit.

The amount of pearl-clutching I'm seeing on X in light of Michael Laws' comments is curious.
I thought the wokes all abandoned X/Twitter when that "fascist" and "neo-nazi" Elon Musk took control? Why are you still here?

Working hard should mean being able to get ahead,
not struggling to keep up!
NZ First will address this by growing the economy, cutting red tape, splitting the supermarket & electricity duopoly & continuing to increase the minimum wage.
‼️Party vote NZ First‼️

Do these election attack ads even work? The average car driver is driving on autopilot so attack ads that try to use party colours would most likely be perceived subliminally by fast moving motorists and their brain heuristics may instead interpret it as a promotion for the party

In just 1 month Intel (the largest CPU manufacturer) has lost nearly 60% of its value.
The AI crash is happening.
Excellent, finally we can buy computer parts again, not billionaires to produce AI slop.
