  1. Another poll released, and once again, Opportunity is above 5%;

    rnz.co.nz/news/politics_electi

    A week is a long time in politics, as they say, and there's still 2 months until Polling Day. There's always the possibility something could completely undermine Opportunity's support before then. But based on the consistent trend across all polling companies, going back to mid-June, they will be in the next Parliament.

  2. A quotation not from Thomas Carlyle

    The block of granite which was an obstacle in the path of the weak, becomes a steppingstone in the path of the strong.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    (Misattributed)

  3. RE: mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/117

    Apparently Jack Tame's Q+A interview with Opportunity leader Qiulae Wong is getting a lot of mileage on social media ('TOP leader DESTROYED by Jack Tame' sort of stuff). Since I've posted some fairly sympathetic comments on them here - including fact-checking claims based on a clip from it - I thought it's only fair that I check out the full interview;

  4. A quotation from Carlyle

    The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

  6. @CelloMomOnCars That's STILL not good enough! What about #datacentres' use of #water? #Renewable #electricity used to #power datacentres isn't being used to power other things, so there is an #opportunity #cost involved, as well.

  7. To be fair, the Opportunity party policy on this is even worse. They're totally drinking the kool-aid, and planning to give free public money to the #MOLE Training and DataFarming industries;

    "... we will introduce a new tax credit scheme.

    It will allow claiming back as a tax/credit up to 25% of the cost of rolling/out high-tech solutions such as AI and digital platforms."

    This is the kind of corporate welfare Labour regularly disappoints me with.

  8. "Luxon said he wasn’t interested in doing business with parties wanting to raise taxes, pointing to Opportunity’s universal income and land tax as reasons a vote for the party effectively supported Labour and the Greens."

    #HenryOliver, 2026

    Hipkins has consistently ruled out holistic tax reform while he's Labour leader (only 1 of many reasons he needs to be replaced). So why would tax policy make #Opportunity any more likely to support a Labour-led govt?

  10. "There are two things NZ needs to change the government. First is, they need Labour to be the largest single party. Second, they need Opportunity to get over 5%, so that we are not reliant on Santa Claus Winston, selling snake oil."

  11. A quotation from Herbert Hoover

    You convey too great a compliment when you say that I have earned the right to the presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay.

    Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
    Letter (1928-06-14) to George Moses
