All spin and no delivery - another way of putting it in cricketing term. 🤣

I hear the young ones calling her Cindy also, just a nickname like most people have had throughout their lives, Comrade Cindy is a different ballgame but people are entitled to their opinions on that one.

The Young Ones definitely would have called her Cindy....and a lot worse. Back when people weren't so precious.

The don't put your head out the window and subsequent treatment of his own head is probably my favourite.

This is precisely the sort of nonsense that puts me off Labour; i.e. interfering in private business matters.

Nobody is forced to use paywave - retailers are not forced to offer it, and plenty don't. It simply should not have anything to do with the government. The market is perfectly able to decide on its worth all by itself.

Relevant only insofar as it is bizarre to have a holiday honouring our Monarch who is probably currently not allowed to visit the country over which she nominally reigns - yet Matariki still is not given a holiday.
What percentage of voters are currently employees, who would actually benefit from having a public holiday paid for by an employer? In this day and age, I wonder if it is a populist policy.

Good point. Since Covid, I have avoided retailers that don’t have contactless eftpos.

Yes, of course it is. Isn't there a general election coming up?

A lot of businesses are restricted on how they can rout the public.
Bank fees is one where I don't have a problem with regulation - it is hard for small business (of which we have many) to pressure banks to be competitive. It isn't really a free market.
Why do we pay so much more in fees? It's not just paywave.
