Starting to suspect some of our politicians can be a little self-serving in their public statements

you literally have to read it or you will be prosecuted by councillor Richard Hills

Act yesterday: NZ First is undermining the Indian free trade agreement with its xenophobic rhetoric Act today: our hot new candidate is the man who called an Indian politician "dick shit" and said it was "so appropriate because she's Indian, so she would be dick in shit" when walking the streets

*Waitematā local board, progressively* yes building houses in the rich suburbs near the city is one option but have you considered putting them in south Auckland instead thespinoff.co.nz/politics/03-...

This Iran situation isn't looking great. But surely our politicians have been taking steps to reduce our dependence on oil. Would be very concerned if not thespinoff.co.nz/politics/17-...

Petrol is so expensive. Hopefully we’ve been reducing our dependence on it?It would be a real shame if we’d done something like stop NZTA spending on walking and cycling. Ha ha ha.thespinoff.co.nz
