50 years of "Trickle-down" economics (tax-cuts for the mega-wealthy) has turned millionaires into billionaires, and the working-class into the working poor. --Don't be fooled by billionaires and bankers telling you what to think, they just want to make their heap even bigger...

There's almost 400 applicants on Dunedin's state-house waiting list, and the city has a homeless camp for the first time since the Great Depression - yet National doesn't think these 11 houses are needed 😳 Build the housing that was promised National 😡 https://t.co/quvSefqI5u

National announces some band-aids for NZ's woefully under-resourced hospitals - but nothing for Otago/Southland; where National has cut the new hospital's inpatient beds from the 430 it promised, to 371 beds. https://t.co/3kJbL5GB9n

RIP Dave Ball; mixer of northern soul and synthesizers. --Soft Cell owned this track so well for years I never realised it was a cover. A track I thrashed on the MCR jukebox at Uni a decade later when goth and grunge were the thing https://t.co/Jb2TLsMgpO
