Government Liars
Ok, I don't know how well all of you remember the budget and I don't have a tv so I am unaware of a retraction by Grant Robertson however I do remember this whole winter energy payment to help elderly, disabled (me on paper but I have found the cure and I will get there. Affording the water filtration and not being around plastic is the big one. The govt think I'm loopy due to the m.s. however they just believe what pharmac and their ilk say - when pharmac just talks teke).
Anyway I remember Grant saying $450 for a single person and $900 for a family or couple. Get the paperwork and the math is for me (single person) 20.46 x 12 weeks =$245.52. So my question is to nightly news watcher-ers is : Did he retract his $450 a year statement saying its un-affordable or is my assumption correct that some criminal that is pretending to be a politician pocketing that money for him/herself and we aren't supposed to be able to do math and/or call them out on their lies? I'd put this under crime and safety category however I want as many people as possible to see this and get as outraged at the constant lies we are told by people blatantly STEALING taxpayers money. Taxpayers pay 10 million dollars to those criminals a year for them to steal from us some more. If we all go "nah. not anymore" enmasse surely things will change.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
