You know how you can just use any old oil in your car? Well, I've been using semisoft butter and now my Nissan smells like popcorn.
Just a little #LifeHack for you there.

Its perfectly reasonable to disagree with #NZGreens policy, but when people say they should "stick to environmental issues" & "not rule out working with the right" what they mean is "I don't like environmental destruction, but I love its causes"

From #RNZ: Apparently NZers believe #National is "good at economy" but #Labour is better at... all the things that make up the economy?

It's fascinating that so many kiwis can look at the Luxon coagulation's programme of wealth transfer and conclude that National is somehow better at managing the economy. Some people are gluttons for punishment. At least Chippy's strategy of 'Say nothing, hide-in-the-corner and stay invisible' seem...

We all know #PublicService cuts won't help, that things will get worse, that it will ultimately cost us more. We can prove it, but #National & #Act don't care.
They believe the Earth is flat & will respond accordingly. #nzpol

I would believe our current Govt's plan is to guarantee the outcome of the fuel crisis is felt after the next election, so they can blame it on #NZLabour, relying on our short memories to achieve their long term goal of reinforcing the fallacy that "#National are good with money"

But, realistically, does anyone in the current government have a plan?

@nprofile1q... I think Seymour convinces Luxon *he* thought of it, then Luxo calls Willis and talks for 30 minutes about "realigning our sales strategy with the core values of stakeholders", Willis then texts Bishop "Big guy says we're privatizing the military now, you figure it out"
