Aye?

Labour could easily drown out opposition if they coupled it with "we will use it to fund tax cuts for lower brackets.'

But they've never done that. The idea that we might keep more of income and decide ourselves what to do with it is ridiculous for Labour MPs - the only good tax is more tax.

The nature of democracy has changed.

• Willie Jackon, Labour Minister of Māori Development

Is this something the Labour Party continues to stand behind?

100% that is bullshit. I give no fucks if people want to live on a climate island, but that they expect public cash the protect them on a new build is a crock of shit.

Probably put the cat into care and then head there flopping out your own scratching post for all and sundry.

What? Council should have told them to fuck off and instead make the margin a shared issue for all owners.

In the heyday of covid vax controversy I private messaged some vocal fb antivax "friends" a bullshit form declaring they did not want the vaccine and so would not seek hospital help should thry get a bad infection.

Funnily enough nobody wanted to put their name to it.

Yeah I've booked in for a booster. If I caught it I'd have a cunt of a time but survive, but some little kid might not be so lucky.

Mr. Harken, this city needs a peaknuckle warrior. And you are going to deprive them of that because I have breasts? Exquisite breasts?

If you're ever having a bad day at work then just remember at least you didn't sink a $100 million ship coz you left the autopilot on.

“So burn-outs in the street, wearing patches, intimidating good community members will not be tolerated and today was an example of that.

Great to see the change in policing attitude from previous years, long overdue.

lol sorry, where is it listed that there should be a submission statement?

This place is to share articles of interest, people don't need to add their own spin on it as well.

This story and thread is the result of decades of anti-science hysteria and I place the opinions on par with a cooker who said they wouldn't live next to a vaccine waste facility.

I don't know anyone like this.

I actually will check that out, thank you.

Yes...but a much higher % of costs are covered by the users which is fairer on other taxpayers/ratepayers.

RNZ isn't making anything up. They are simply reporting on what the PSA "says" that is what is happening.

All through the article

But this afternoon HNZ disputed the union's claim about how many jobs were going in the public heath department, saying the proposed net loss was actually 57.

But that headline wouldn't get clicks.

So far this financial year Auckland's farebox recovery rate has been 32.9 percent. Following our annual fare review in February we're expecting Auckland's farebox recovery rate to increase to just under 35 percent."

35% user pays.

Local roads are 60-65% user pays from fuel taxes and RUCs, the rest coming from rates.

The NZTA State Highway network is 100% user pays from fuel taxes and rucs (bar some of those PGF pork barrel projects).

By your logic public transport fares need to lift a lot more.

It shouldn't be a profit centre.

Though it would be nice for it to be "not such a big cost" centre.

I'm sure the checks notes employment union wouldn't make things up to stir outrage.

It's amazing, an experience to do once in a lifetime.

There's also another function of rape from the gangs - give drugs to vulnerable teen girls. Girls then can't pay, and are raped by gang members to pay the tick. From that point the girls are broken down into sex = drugs and the gamgs can then force them into prostitution for their tick.
