For those in the back: The total amount the New Zealand government has spent on all historical Waitangi Tribunal settlements over the last 30+ years is less than the cost of a single year of the 2024 tax cuts for Landlords.

Our health system is not prepared for this at any level. This government learned nothing from Covid except it costs money to prevent and treat illness so let's save money and let people get sick and die. We are all we have. TAKE PRECAUTIONS. Stay home if you are sick. www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/...

Huh, so Luxon does have the capacity to remove Ministerial portfolios, after all. I guess it's just a question of what he sees as a sackable offence and what he doesn't. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Kieran McAnulty telling it like it is #nzpol

But Labour's campaign chair Kieran McAnulty called Luxon's comments a "weak apology".

"Just this morning, he was defending his comments, and now, after quite clearly getting an earful at cabinet, he's managed to bring himself to say that he's sorry if he caused offence."

McAnulty said that was what somebody says "when you're not really sorry".

"It's like the weakest form of apology. It's like one level up from shrugging your shoulders and saying 'whoopsie'."

McAnulty said that was why Luxon "never answers a question", because when he finally does, "he says what he thinks and nobody likes what he says".

Minister for Transport Chris Bishop and the Roads of National Significance. My #cartoon today in the Sunday Star Times. #Roading #NZpol #Health&Safety

Cartoon. Title: “Coup” Three frames. Minister for Transport Chris Bishop in the first frame, holding an orange road cone above his head, with stacks of road cones behind him. He’s saying, “The upside of building fewer roads is fewer road cones. Hehehee! Another target met! Let’s get these bad boys back in the shed” In the 2nd frame he’s running with the cone over his upper body and whistling. 3rd frame he’s fallen in a pothole. There’s a sign in the background that reads, “Road cone storage” with an arrow. Bishop is saying “Ouff! Someone should’ve marked this pot hole”

So NZ’s biggest climate polluter, Fonterra, gave a paper to the PM’s Policy Guy, who used to be at the far right NZ Initiative, asking Luxon to block a specific common law case currently b4 court. And then PM’s office illegally kept the document secret. NZ Govt is a corporate protection racket
