Standing in a line at Briscoes Mt Wellington with about 60 other shoppers and only 3 tills operating people taking products back and walking out - not sure that’s what Briscoes wants

If Oceania allow AFC teams (based in NZ) into O-pro league and they win it will NZF take the majority of the prize money? Will there be different rules for AFC aligned clubs? Will be interesting to see the twisting of this as we move forward - go play in AFC championship 😝

So apparently something funded by TAXPAYERS is now nearly broke and needs elements to be privatised - hey here a strange idea fund it properly from the taxes you take and stop giving in to special interest groups - do you want to turn it into the UK NHL

This is a fascinating read about IP and how it is changing back towards Feudalism
Here's a weird consequence of our shift from capitalism (where riches come from profits) to feudalism (where riches come from rents): increasingly, your rights to your property (physical stuff you own) are trumped by corporations' metaphorical "intellectual property" claims.

ALT A galactic-scale Pac-Man is eating a row of 'big blue marble' Earths. The Pac-Man has a copyright circle-c in his center. The starry sky behind the scene is intermingled with a 'code rain' effect from the credits of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.

Maybe it’s old school thinking but if a politician announces a new policy that seems to favour Tobacco companies against medical advice they should personally explain their thinking to the media. Refusing should not be an option - leadership fail or something else
Fast track bill has two sides to it - whilst it allegedly makes things easier for the current government it will also make things easier for the next one who may action illegal, backhanders and immoral actions. Bypassing checks and balances has never ever been a good idea

No matter how many times I see it it still shocks me to see parents running lines at kids games and blatantly cheating to favour their team. Can they not see what they are doing to the kids on the field especially their own - cheating to achieve a result has no place in the game
$5.6B fiscal hole - this is now insanity I thought they were the responsible party reining in costs - stop your lobbyist paybacks before it too late for so many. thepost.co.nz/a/politics/350…

I have no idea why anyone would think any politician is truthful and what they say isn’t going to be the truth. Once given a smell of power and position over others their true nature asserts itself either good or bad. 🤷🏽♂️

It’s weird how all the “noise” and “fury” about decisions made by politicians around the world is directed at them and not lobbyists and mouthpieces for the entities trying to avoid paying tax in countries that provide them the public services they need to make money

During the filming of the first Godfather movie, the mafia got awfully curious about what went on during filming. The mob actively followed the actors and actresses around and hovered around the sets, much to the chagrin of the actors. Marlon Brando in particular wasn’t too pleased.
At some point, Brando, Pacino, and Robert Duvall were driven off-set in a car when their driver spotted a suspicious-looking cast of characters traveling at the same speed and distance, eyeing them.
Brando said he had had enough of “those mob bastards,” rolled down the car window, pulled down his pants all the way, and mooned them! Duvall later said of the event that his famous co-star pulled his pants down just a little too much.
Not deterred, the mob sent real-life mafia enforcer, wrestler and doorman Lenny Montana to the movie set, to play the part of Luca Brasi.
Montana was a major Brando fan, as were many of the mafia guys themselves who had come to respect the wild star and his reckless ways. So in awe of his famous co-star was Montana, that he bumbled his lines. He could barely perform at all.
Until Brando put Montana at ease, helping him shine and perform his part well. The big mobster turned actor was incredibly grateful, and suddenly the mafia was totally okay with their on-screen portrayal.
Since when did landlords become businesses? Unless they are a registered business entity, paying all associated costs etc like any other business, they are a private citizen not a business. If a business they can offset costs etc now so why the need for new legislation

Amateur/social sport should be open to all regardless of any other factor - professional/elite sport has rules to ensure fair outcomes but that’s the elite/professional side of sport - social and amateur is for everyone - picking on & stopping people being part of society is sick
Really feels like National are being bossed around by both the smaller parties policies - agreeing to be in partnership and selling your party’s soul whilst doing it seems to be what’s happening - so many weird fringe ideas being steamrolled through you wonder what’s next

Tax breaks for landlords yet aren’t the majority of landlords private individuals not businesses - so isn’t that a handout like what’s it called again - benefits? I get if it’s a tax break for a business but for private individuals then it’s a different type of benefit 🤷🏽♂️

You are a senior member of parliament not a child living in your parents basement - the world isn’t so black and white and these pithy statements mean nothing - do whatever you want to just stop trying to justify it with silly sound bites

With all governments when they make decisions at speed and under urgency - you wonder what’s the catalyst for the speed and who is yelling at them the loudest - probably the ones who lobbied/bribed them the most $$$ - if it’s a good law it can undergo due process can’t it?

Free speech is being able to say what you think and be free from GOVERNMENT persecution - free speech does not mean being protected from being socially outcast or belittled for your opinions by the public and not allowed to speak in certain environments it isn’t carte blanc
