@randomyoko Yes. If you’re middle class, then you can afford it. So, if you really wanted to donate money, then you would do it. Saying ‘if I was rich…’ is just an excuse not to do it. Also, you’re assuming the elderly couple were rich, when perhaps they just wanted to do something nice.

@hellomotorbike And why should he? He’s worked hard and earned it. Also, over half of those on the housing waiting list live in private accommodation, but lack the means to stay there. Perhaps the answer is to remove regulations and free up land to allow more private accommodation to be built.

@randomyoko Exercise - go for a run or walk. It’s the best medicine.

@MandyRuss3ll @buildmoreethans Wait and see when all the candidates are announced, but Tory Whanau should not even be running again. I don’t understand how she was voted in in the first place. She lacked experience and the skill set necessary to run a local council.

@GregPresland @thestandard What else do you propose?

@NanaiaMahuta You do realize that they are part of the Realm of NZ, right?!? To be frank, I’m completely flabbergasted by your opinion here.

@whitekiwigunman Anecdotal evidence. Enough said.

Ryan Bridge making a lot of sense on KO. Interesting point: more than half on housing wait list are in private accommodation, but lack the means to stay there. As Ryan argues, let’s aid the private sector to build more rentals. Problem solved. #nzpol

Interesting. Former Labour MP praising the National govt and saying Phil Twyford doesn’t understand economics. Never thought I’d see the day. Great stuff. Have a listen: #nzpol

RT @DemocraticWins: BREAKING: CNN analyst Fareed Zakaria just perfectly explained why what Donald Trump is currently doing to our nation wi…

@aniobrien Yep, I think you nailed it. I appreciate Seymour was doing his job, but he knows better than to get involved in an active police investigation.

@chrishipkins Bro, he’s not even a member of the National party.

@therealgregjack @WhiteStarPrime Nothing is baked in. The general public not following politics at present, but instead just looking for someone to blame because their situations aren’t exactly great at the moment. Once the economy starts to improve, then the needle will shift back towards National & Co.

@Papaioeajake So, your basic argument is that the government should be subsidizing Wellington? I mean, that is basically what you’re arguing 🤨🤯

@randomyoko They actually both got plenty of boos.

Wellingtonians, can you please put your ideology aside when you vote for the next mayor and instead vote for the person who you truly think will be the best fit for the job. #nzpol

@buildmoreethans

@canderlodge @chrisluxonmp Why not just ask Grok
