Luxon is just like Key when he started, trying to hard to be a politition. When Key realised he could be himself he got tidier and more believable. Somewhere I read a comment comparing Key and Luxon - they noted Key from his FOREX dealing days was very accustomed to analysing data (colleagues said he had quite a remarkable ability to take in all sorts of disparate data and quickly form an opinion) and making quick decisions and in that role was obviously a risk taker. Luxon is very much an IBM blue suit type, the MBA qualified company man. Heard various stories about life under him at Air NZ, he was publicly ultra woke whereas behind the doors allegedly had a reputation for being pretty ruthless. I huess we are seeing that ruthless side the way he is dealing with his own mp's, eg Maureen Pugh. I also heard from a relative who is good friends with a very well known Nat mp that they have been told if you speak against the party line you are out. So not much scope for diverse thinking there. At times management have no option than to be an arse. The bigger the mob the bigger the arse I'd expect. I often have to do shit I hate, its just part if the joys of making sure you don't let down all of those depending on you to keep the business viable and them getting paid.
With so many looking for 'Got ya's' you'd have to bash heads internally to stop giving others opportunities. Thats a major problem we have today, we'd ruled by media and tribalism, not people.

There is absolutely no justification for engaging in activities that you detest. There are always alternate paths to explore, and individuals who are unable to locate them are not searching diligently enough. |

Are you advocating I ignore all the laws and regulations I have to abide by?
That's a very big and dodgy call. But then many just don't give a fuck, I just can't comprehend how you lot can do that.

Are you advocating I ignore all the laws and regulations I have to abide by? That's a very big and dodgy call. But then many just don't give a fuck, I just can't comprehend how you lot can do that. You have the power to transform your life by changing your approach, modifying your business model, and altering your behavior. Life is too fleeting for individuals to spend time engaging in tasks that they despise. If you find yourself disliking a particular activity, it is essential to acknowledge that you are the root of the problem and take steps to address it. It is remarkable to observe how much discomfort and agony individuals are willing to endure in pursuit of monetary gain or to adhere to personal beliefs that ultimately have no long-term significance. They then proceed to complain about the difficulties they faced in achieving their goals. Instead of subjecting oneself to such difficulties, it may be worthwhile to explore other opportunities and approaches that align with your values and bring you joy. |

Words spoken by someone whose obviously never been there.
Get up, get dressed and walk outside your bedroom. There's a big wide wonderful world out there, go experience that before it's too too late.

Words spoken by someone whose obviously never been there. Get up, get dressed and walk outside your bedroom. There's a big wide wonderful world out there, go experience that before it's too too late. This statement seems to come from someone who holds a skeptical view towards the system and processes they must adhere to in their daily life. Rather than feeling trapped by the rat race, it might be beneficial to explore ways to break free from any perceived limitations and find a more fulfilling path. It can be challenging to make a change, but there are opportunities to pursue personal growth and make positive contributions to the world. |

Tamati Coffey spits the dummy on Labour, will retire at this election. This is significant in that he was the MP for Wairaki (the Maori ward for Rotorua) and got bumped by Ti Parti Maori at the last election by a handful of votes. That would mean a new-comer will have to try and un-seat Ti Parti Maori. I'd almost say Labour are making room for a coalition partner... www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/485693/labour-mp-tamati-coffey-to-quit-parliament-at-election |

Where does it say he spat the dummy? Tamati Coffey has expressed that he is proud to have been part of the Labour-led government for the past six years. In his statement announcing his retirement, he celebrated the accomplishments of the government, including reforms in surrogacy and investments in Māori and locally-led housing solutions. He has also worked on several initiatives to help his region, such as supporting the development of the Taupō town centre and launching free healthy lunches at Kaitao Intermediate School. Within four hours, you have transformed a completely benign press release about a reputable public servant who dedicated his time and efforts to serving the community into a conspiracy theory alleging the involvement of the Labour Party. Coffey's retirement announcement seems to be a personal decision related to his desire to prioritize his family. It is common for politicians to retire from politics for personal reasons, and this is likely the case for Coffey. |

He has resigned. He is not standing again. In the modern vernacular, when someone resigns from a job or position, it is often referred to as 'spitting the dummy'. The more important element of this is the implications for Labour winning Wairaki with a complete newby, and for Ti Parti Maori retaining Wairaki and thus having 2 or 3 seats in Parliament, which may very well shift the balance of power from National / Act to Labour / Greens / Racists. |

No, it is not correct say that "spitting the dummy" is a widely accepted or commonly used term in reference to someone resigning from a job or position. The phrase "spitting the dummy" is typically used colloquially in Australia and New Zealand to describe a tantrum or outburst of anger or frustration, particularly in reference to a child throwing a temper tantrum and spitting out their pacifier (or "dummy"). While the phrase may be used metaphorically to describe someone leaving a job or position in a hasty or emotional manner, it is not a widely accepted or formal term used in professional settings. And he certainly has not left in a hasty or emotional manner. The use of the term "Racists" in the your comment is totally inappropriate, unnecessary and completely detracts from the very valid point that you raise. |

Good, he's a racist piece of shit and we go have more than enuff of those so he'll be no lose. but clearly we don't all agree that racism against "white" people is rightI can hear each of you screaming out from your oppressed lives... "I am a member of the majority white demographic and I am suffering systemic and institutionalized forms of discrimination by the Maori government party, they are wielding there power over me, marginalizing and oppressing me. They are placing systemic barriers in areas such as education, employment, and healthcare which are suppressing my rights to life as a human being. It's so unfair." Maori people do not hold the same level of power and privilege in society as white people, they therefore cannot systematically oppress or discriminate against white people on a large scale. What it is called is racial prejudice. It is not racism and they are not racist. |

According to one of NZ most racist MP, wee Willy Jackson, he can't be a racist as he's not a pale skin. That's a very 'special' mind set to say the least. It also one that is being noticed overseas. We got asked by some pommes what in is NZ like now it's run by Maori? I said it's not quite yet as the majority, of all races, just want all to be one of equally as it should be. Our biggest problem is we're run by the small handful that own and run the MSM. Sounds like they also have a similar issue. |
