Here we go, an amended bingo card with the Australian references localised to Aotearoa references, which does double duty for all your NZ First and ACT candidate needs!
5x5 NZF/ACT candidate bingo card, lightly modifying the original Australian One Nation version to change Australia-specific references to NZ-specific ones and otherwise altering nothing. Hard to type out the lot but they include:
- promoted "Turn Ardern"
- boofhead rugby player
- participant in parliamentary occupation
- involved with The Platform or Counterspin Media

The argument that 'the increase is necessary to get good people in the role' fails because she is already in the role and signed up at the lower rate. So either the money isn't necessary to get good people, or she is an example of the bad people you get for less money.
