Skatert'ya Doraga Zuev

Michael from Trentham

Russian Ambassador in Wellington, Georgii Zuev refuses to talk to the NZ Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committees.
He says it would be futile.

I say it would mean he would proffer the story that his Russia was forced to defend itself against Ukrainian Nazi-ism and that there was no actual war taking place and no civilians have been murdered, killed, raped, tortured or forced to flee either to other countries or to Russia itself and that no non-military or non weapons-hiding buildings have been destroyed by Russian forces or bombardment. And so on. USA President, Joe Biden has called Russian actions in Ukraine "genocide" and that Putin is a war criminal. I am sure Jacinda Ardern concurs.

I am certain Zuev looks at TVNZ, CNN, BBC and Al Jazeera news and thus knows what many of the Russian population do not know about the so-called Russian Military Operation in Ukraine. So he could do what ambassadors are meant to do - talk to the NZ Government and its direct branches of Government - or get out of here.

I say that the PM or her Minister of Foreign Affairs should kick Zuev out because he has nothing to say and neither should we say anything more than skatert'ya doraga Mr Zuev.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
