Does ACT’s David Seymour think Kiwis are stupid?

Markus from Green Bay

Link added: www.rnz.co.nz...

I just read an article how “everyone can be better off” by taxing low income earners much more and giving tax breaks to the rich - effectively moving money from poor to rich.

I’m flabbergasted that ANYONE would dare to bullshit people like this - but then quite a few voted for him, so maybe he is right thinking quite a few Kiwis will believe anything. After all, if it works for Trump …

What I don’t get is that he isn’t challenged much more in interviews.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
