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.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
