First two news stories Labour: we want to subsidise public transport (Nats: classic labour, where’s the money coming from? They’re bribing voters etc etc) Nats: here’s $60 million for primary industries (🦗🦗 not one question about where that money is coming from) Utterly shameless. #nzpol

I don't loathe Nicola Willis because she's a woman or a Tory. I despise her because she's an insufferably stupid, mendacious and feckless ghoul who is astonishingly shit at her taxpayer-funded job. #nzpol

It’s bad to be in social housing cause you are poor but completely fine to charge the taxpayer $52,000 to rent the house you already own. National party MPs are disgusting people and people who vote for them are disgusting too.

I do not understand how the ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTARY destruction of the original ferry replacement is not a massive political scandal?! It was a reflexive ideological decision that has disadvantaged the country significantly.

Was not one comment from the opposition benches sought for this piece? www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... My recall of such news under the last government would be endless reporting of the opposition flooding the zone to get their digs in.

GDP announcements are often dull - this one was a gut punch for Luxon and co

Dissatisfaction comes from many directions following a surprise contraction in economic activity, a bad poll and calls for resignations.

Quite aside from anything else, it is frankly WILD for ministers or associate ministers to be micromanaging the work of ministries in this way. From cellphones in schools, to speed limits, to precise wording on websites this is NOT how government is supposed to work, no matter who is in power.
