Okay @AklTransport your app tells me that the EW is expressing from Kingsland to Orakei yet it still also tells me to exit the train at K Rd for Auckland Hospital. Can't even get off at Mt Eden for the OW to Grafton. Just how do I actually get to work today? 😡

If National, ACT and NZF are able to form a goverment after the news from starship Hospital, then I give up.
We are short staffed across Health NZ. Not only do we lack nurses, doctors and allied health, we also can't get timely IT support because of their cuts.

Luxon said he’s not campaigning on raising the retirement age.
THEY DIDN’T CAMPAIGN ON STEALING PAY PARITY IN 2023 EITHER.

The gap between 2019 and 2026 feels unreal. it feels like i’ve lived through three completely different lives since then.

There was a time when THIS was the place to be on a Friday night.
No phones. No group chats. Just music, skates, bad balance, and trying not to embarrass yourself in front of your crush.
Who remembers roller rink nights?
My boy & his girlfriend are on their way to visit my sister & have a London holiday. Just under 3 hours until they land at Heathrow. Look at all the planes in the airspace! 😱
Late shift at work, radio playing & I'm belting out It's My Life. Younger colleague asks if I have ever seen Bon Jovi play live. The look of disbelief when I said I saw the big hair live at Western Springs in 1989 when I was 19! 🤣 I'm officially old!
If the wait time on hold on the phone is consistently over one hour you're not experiencing higher than expected customer wait times - you're experiencing a lack of staff problem. Ridiculous wait time for births, deaths and marriages. I feel for their staff.

Normalize actually TRAINING new employees instead of getting irritated because they don’t already know how to do the job.

Public want to cut MPs salaries to minimum wage (23.95/hr) and freeze that for three years. New MPs will only receive 60% of that as a 'training wage'. This will improve the efficiency and productivity of our MPs.

Low wage, slow wage,
Young wage, no wage,
Freeze it for three years,
Call it a “grow” wage!
Boss gets more,
Kid gets less,
ACT calls this
Economic success!
Forty percent?
Off your pay!
“You're young,” they cry,
“So that's okay!”
No union noise,
No wage-rise fuss,
Just trust the boss
He knows what's best for us!
Rent goes up,
Food goes high,
Power bills climb
Right through the sky.
But wages? No!
They must stay still
While wealthy pockets
Get their fill.
Three-year freeze,
What a treat!
Work even harder,
Afford less to eat!
So clap for ACT,
The workers' friend
Your wages freeze,
Their dividends ascend!

Act's donors want to impoverish the young & poor with minimum wages - those who @chrisluxonmp calls "bottom feeders". That's Act's wish, e.g. Van Velden's ("kiwis' lives are over-valued") miserly increase of min. wage only after being over-ruled. #nzpol union.org.nz/14-37-an-hour-a…
