As has been said previously, there is a reason Winston insisted on being Deputy PM first! He always wants to distance himself from his coaltion partners well before the end 🤷
Auckland based coalition govt punishing Wellington City for being the bulk of the public sector that collects taxes, regulates business, and for voting Green.
If it would do any good, I would start a petition to have "Sir" Russell Coutts stripped of his knighthood - what an entitled tool! You CHOOSE to run a yatch race in a sanctuary for endangered dolphins, agree to the terms of use, and then complain when the resident dolphins choose to swim around their home 🤷🤬 plus then lie on international media about their conservation status & how dolphins behave 🧐 Yes it might bring in $$ to the local economy for a few days (& how much does it cost to host it including everything?) & yes, some people obviously enjoy the spectator aspect, but at it's base it is a rich man's endeavour far from what "ordinary" folks can aspire to, and not worth the price of slicing a dolphin or two in half just so rich men can "play" wherever they choose, regardless of damage. Imagine the international backlash with photos of dead & mutilated dolphins splashed across the internet? It wouldn't only be "Sir Entitled" & his backers in the firing line, but the local authorities who let the race take place... 😲
Our thoughts exactly. He either didn't listen to the conditions of using that area, or decided that he was important enough to disregard them. Either way, go fuck yourself, Coutts. It takes about five seconds to visit the IUCN website and verify that these dolphins are endangered and in decline.
Chris Hipkins says tax reform is back on the table for 2026....the way this current coalition is running, he'll need to ready long before 2026.
