That, I think, is why some of the attacks on Swarbrick feel oddly objectless. The danger isn’t just what she might do as Finance Minister. It’s what she might reveal about the people who have spent 40 years telling us the money is all gone. andrewdicksonnz.substack.com/p/chloe-swar...

Words have consequences. When Aotearoa signed up to climate action and then this gov't refuses to lift a finger or u-turn on climate action, it must have consequences. This time it's trade & foreign policy implications. The real world consequence is more flood, more emergencies in the future. #nzpol

So let's get this straight.... The National Party, who have been the lead party in power for 3 years are saying, "Vote for us! because we can be trusted to fix the problems that we created." That's it, in a nutshell. #NZPol

The Christian right are not happy with the latest poll
Post from Peter Mortlock A lot can happen in 6 weeks, but if you can believe these polls, NZ is in trouble! And it's hard to believe that 16% of New Zealanders would vote for socialism (Greens) and with their colleagues in the Opportunity Party, another 6% equals 22%, that is how “godless” we have become! Although I think a lot of young people particularly don't realize the full consequences of these philosophies! Can you imagine Chloe as the PM! Socialism is a disaster wherever it goes! Bottom line - people starve, as corruption sets in at the top, followed by civil war! One step away from communism! And to those who say Jesus was a socialist - wrong - listen to my post a couple weeks ago! “Was Jesus a socialist“? No!

Ben Thomas prior press secretary to the National Party & current political editor of the National Business Review doesn't know how to search/read Hansard but I, a 63 yr old school drop out ex cleaner managed? Ben Thomas either has a bad case of selective framing or is a lazy researcher #nzpol
This image is a screenshot of an official New Zealand Hansard transcript detailing an oral question-and-answer session between members of Parliament.Transcript Text Header: Oral Question 2: Prime Minister Asked by:
Rt Hon CHRIS HIPKINS
Answered by: Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON

Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: The Deputy Prime Minister, with all respect, doesn't speak for the National Party.

Rt Hon Chris Hipkins:
When real wages have fallen, power prices have gone up, insurance prices have gone up, rates have gone up, insurance has gone up—all by more than 20 percent, under his leadership, in just the last two years—will he now admit that the cost of living crisis is not only not over; it's getting worse under his leadership?

Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: What I'd say, again—you know, cry me a river. But I'd say if that member was serious about supporting people, why didn't you support tax relief for the first time for working New Zealanders? Why don't you come out and support a council rates cap? Why don't you come out and support structural separation for supermarkets? No idea.


*** Just remembering that the tax relief National gave didn't amount to much and only applied to working families and gave more to those on higher wages than lower wages.
The council caps will result in less services for communities and individuals, services like access to public swimming pools, libraries and mobile libraries, etc
Structural separation of supermarkets that National have promised to ONLY RESEARCH if elected back in unlike the changes proposed by Labour or the Greens.

Olive Ann Beech, the “First Lady of Aviation,” was born #OTD in 1903. 1932: Co-founded the Beech Aircraft Company (later, Beechcraft). 1940: Took full command of the company's daily ops & production when her husband fell ill, delivering >7,400 military aircraft during #WWII.🧵 #WomenInBusiness
A warm, intimate black-and-white portrait photograph of an elegant Olive Ann Beech (1903–1993), celebrated as the "First Lady of Aviation" for her historic tenure leading Beechcraft. She sits relaxed inside what appears to be an office or home setting, leaning her left elbow on a surface to rest her head gently against her hand. Her light-colored hair is styled in tight, classic curls, and she flashes a bright, genuine, open-mouthed smile toward the lens, exuding a warm and approachable confidence. She wears a structured textured jacket or blouse accented by an intricately patterned silk neck scarf. On her wrists, several thick chain bracelets with dangling metallic charms are prominently displayed, alongside an elegant ring on her right hand. The background features a soft-focus interior with a light brick or tiled wall, framed art, and a dark credenza holding bottles or barware. The composition focuses entirely on her expressive face, creating a joyful, personal mood that balances her formidable corporate legacy with a charming, personal warmth.
