I heard from this guy who heard about this guy who turned down a job to stay on the dole. So obviously everyone on the dole is like that.

Shitheads or not the government really should have known how many MPs it had.

Nope.

Although setting up a UBI sounds like a good way of giving people money directly.

Meanwhile Chloe Swarbricks medicinal cannabis bill didn't pass :(

She needed a couple of votes from Nats that she didn't get, because dickheads like Shane Jones and a few more conservative Labourites didn't support it

I'm in a bit of pain right now, how do I find out who voted against this so I can abuse them?

Yeah I feel ya. I have an arthritis and the drugs they give me don't do poo poo. It would be nice to have something to take the edge off on bad days.

Workers on the average wage could soon find themselves paying more tax, as wage inflation is tipped to push more into the top tax bracket in the next five years.

The average wage will soon hit $70,000 and those earners will be taxed at the same rate as New Zealand's wealthiest.

I dunno if they are being intentionally disingenuous but most people don't earn near $70k, the median wage is more like 50.

E: Also wage inflation is very low, just yesterday stuff posted an article about it.

I hate Paula as much as the next goon but the government really should be providing compensation for the people kicked out of their homes.
