gently caress thats awesome, will have to seriously consider getting some prints from their collection

if you're someone who has the money for original art (lol, I know), I have two pro tips for getting an absolute bargain:

- labour party art auctions have good poo poo from high profile contemporary artists. A Nigel Borrell piece sold last week for like a grand at a recent one
- the various Māori art schools around the country (Toihoukura in Gisborne is probably one of the best, for e.g.) exhibit art from their students fairly often and a lot of it is mindblowingly good, and they often sell for only a few hundy

You can also buy art from your internet mate shithouse dave. It’s not ~fine art~ and the resale value is fuckall, but I spend lots of hours making weird poo poo on canvas with acrylics and collage.

It's a sign of a terminal poster and the country just can't deal with it.

Yeah it's not great that it's the front headline story on stuff. I mean white people are stupid so I don't disagree with her but ouch that's going to hurt the greens.

The people who are going to massively overreact to that are the same people who did the same with Marama earlier in the year - the timing is poo poo but realistically how much hay can they make from the same kind of thing a second time?

Especially when multiple other parties have outright cookers as candidates, bringing it up is likely to elicit "but what about X poo poo your own candidate said".

Lots of people are depressingly stupid. There are definitely people in the Greens who will ignore context or just read the headline and say it's racist.

Yeah for the Labour -> Green swing voters this is precisely the sort of poo poo that will push them back to Labour. It looks like the story isn't getting much traction though, fortunately. The Herald hasn't even picked it up.

Voted, was curious who the Women's Rights Party were. Looked at Wikipedia. Founded by a former Labour member after Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull was protested, their ideology includes transphobia. Stay classy NZ.

I've got something to tell you. Something that may shock and discredit you. And that thing is as follows: I'm not wearing a tie at all.

Did not expect this thread to take a NZ Art turn.


Edit: just had a weird ad with an American voice over about crime for a website called "Vote for better" run by someone called Tim Barry from Warkworth.
It all seemed a little... cherry picked? And the Americanised (possibly computer generated) voice over was weird, reminiscent of NAct talking points.
EDIT 2: found a Reddit thread from a week ago where it's speculated to be an Act/TPU astro turf thing.

literally 1/3 of that from the property industry, who stand to get hundreds of millions back in tax cuts. Pretty good ROI, they're playing us for absolute fools.

Sounds like someone doesn't have plans for the windfall $5000 tax rebate on each of their rental properties. Maybe you should have put them into a trust so you don't have to pay taxes like a plebeian. I actually had a painfully similar argument made to me recently.
