Shit the media is are pushing hard for the Opp Party to get across the line, to protect the right, every vote for the Opp Party is a vote for Luxon....

Covered up a known pedophile for 3 months instead of calling police he instructed the victim partner 2 his godmother a employment lawyer 3 times till he was arrested & waited 6 days till name suppression was in place & fought to keep his identity secret becoz it was election year

@chrisluxonmp I've been watching on & off all day, waiting for you comments about the death of a street person who needed help but none was forthcoming. You can't even bother writing a word for her, let alone organise an immediate response to assist other rough sleepers.

Simon Bridges called Luxon’s Rotorua speech a “David Brent - Tony Robbins mash-up”. David Brent generally believed he was performing brilliantly while everyone else in the room was having a different experience. Couldn’t have put it better myself.

Leaked copy of full TPU poll.Luxon with net favourability-19%, Hipkins -7%, Peters -16%. Falling confidence in country’s direction: 36% think right,54% wrong.Timing of the poll matters,Fieldwork taken before Thurs extraordinary MMP ref episode & before worst part of Luxon’s wk

Well this is a brave move from Boy George. He will be attacked for doing this. I will be attacked just for posting it!

There are some real dickheads on Facebook

Its understandable people are frustrated after today - a snail-like vaccine rollout has resulted in announcing no firm end date for lockdown. All people are seeing right now are the unvaccinated holding the vast majority of kiwis and the economy to ransom - at immense cost.

in 26/27, the government will pay $10b of interest costs on gross debt of $250b. Of that, -$88b was from before the 6th Labour government -$88b was under that govt, mostly the $66b COVID response -$74b has been this govt in just 3 years driven by tax cuts & a shrinking economy

Right now, your tax dollars are paying more than $9 billion a year just servicing the debt Labour left behind. That’s roughly what we spend on Defence, Police, Corrections and Customs every year combined. Since coming into Government, National has demonstrated the responsible

Take a look at Q&A this morning with Simeon Brown. He lied He repeatedly blamed Labour He could not answer a question Well done Jack. You got there in the end

Well the Sunday night fools award goes to bedleg Sam - Just when you think there are no fools left on a Sunday night along comes Sam - let’s not talk about the bed leg though - let’s be really clear rocket scientist Sam (casually referred to as the MP for Tauranga) the reason it’s closed off is because of the ongoing risk of land slips. I get small business are finding it tough but that’s the risk with operating a small business in a tourist area. What no one needs is your take on things

Chantelle Baker spent many years targeting Chris Hipkins over the Government’s COVID-19 response, with confrontational coverage that could reasonably be described as an attempt to hound and torment the former prime minister. Now she is pictured laughing and playing in the snow, beside the ‘plandemic’ narrative she promoted to her audience. These types are outright grifters spreading lies about the Pandemic and the former Labour govt.

What Dame Jacinda Ardern’s Daily Show interview revealed about her successful leadership The strongest moment came when Dame Jacinda Ardern spoke about political capital. She rejected the idea that popularity should be treated as something to preserve at all costs. Ardern understood that elected office had to be used, and sometimes spent, on decisions a leader believed were necessary. “Whatever political capital that you might have, you’re going to need to spend it,” Ardern said. “The best we can hope for is that politicians spend it on doing the right thing, even if it’s something that’s hard, even if it’s something that you know might not be popular.” Many crises happened during Ardern's tenure. The Christchurch terror attack, the COVID-19 pandemic and extremist attacks against her that followed. Ardern's decisions were not universally supported, but she accepted that leadership carried a cost. There was no pretending difficult choices could be made without consequences. The second defining moment came when Ardern argued that empathy was not a soft political accessory, but a form of courage. “It takes courage to be empathetic in these times,” she said. “It is a courageous act to be optimistic.. but we need more of it, not less.” That belief explains much of the appeal directed toward a leader full of kindness. Compassion was presented as a source of authority rather than a substitute for it. The strong response after Christchurch showed that clearly. Ardern stood with the Muslim community, spoke against hatred and backed rapid action, combining emotional intelligence with political decisiveness. Many New Zealanders will remember the evenings when nightly Facebook livestream notifications appeared, creating a sense of direct connection with a leader who spoke to the country with calm, clarity and humanity. Ardern said the easiest political trick was to “weaponise fear and blame”, but questioned whether it left societies any better off. Her message was about how leadership should address grievance, not exploit it. The interview did not prove Ardern was flawless, nor did she claim to be. She openly said leaders are human, that they make mistakes and sometimes get things wrong. Honesty was part of her strength. Ardern became a successful leader because she connected responsibility with power and empathy with courage. That gave her leadership a clear moral identity, one that remains distinctive when political aggression, especially under the current coalition Government, is too often mistaken for strength. *Courtesy of HBO Documentary Films, The Daily Show #nzpol

One Nation is living rent free in Tony Burke's head because of his failure to manage immigration. It is a crying shame that in a country such as ours there are families living homeless in their cars. Those are the people I care about, not the universities or the corporations trying to sell more products. There are 100,000 people in the country illegally. They broke the contract they signed with Australia, why is the government doing nothing to send them back home? We don't need to bring in more people to meet shortages, Australia just needs to train and educate our own people which is what I tried to do with One Nation's apprenticeship subsidy scheme.

60,000 more people unemployed is only half the story. 75,000 more have dropped out of the workforce - given up looking. To get the employment rate to where it was 3 years ago, we would need 130,000 more jobs And that's not even accounting for the people who have gone to Aussie
