Re: NZ Politics Thread

Now if he had said "being sanctioned for failing to jump through an increasingly difficult series of hoops while riding a single roller skate" I would probably have just nodded.

Re: NZ Politics Thread

I'm not presuming that. Just saying the criticisms needs to be accurate. And being sanctioned for "not finding a job" clearly wasn't accurate.

Tbf, I don't think even National would go as far as sanctioning people for not getting a job. Not trying to get a job or meeting your job seekers obligations (the fairness of which are certainly up for debate) for sure though.

Trump also said he was giving Russia 50 days to make a deal or else face 100% "secondary tariffs," seemingly referring to a plan to impose tariffs on countries like China and India that buy Russian oil. That would have a major impact on global oil markets. What are the chances that China and India,...
