Upston - “There will be lots of things that I don’t know what the Prime Minister’s going to say. He is the Prime Minister.” Luxon (probably) - “There will be lots of things that I don’t know what I'm going to say. I am the Prime Minister.”

Err, it was Luxon who put the "yahoos" and "numpties" in their positions 🤔 if he didnt like it, maybe he should have negotiated better 🤔

We recently spent some time in Australia. The eldest manage to drop his vape in a loo at the airport before we departed. I assumed that would mean he'd pick up a new one in Aus- but no. you can't buy them willy nilly there like you can here. We should’ve done that here. Regulate for stupid & young

What's the bet the media will flog this and hound him until they (and their backers) get what they want.... Where was this hounding with BedLeg? Where was this hounding with Andrew Bayly? The NZ media runs double standards.

This was how NACT funded their tax cuts for the wealthy and tax breaks for tobacco - off the backs of working women

This is the way. Christmas is my favourite time of year, especially amid the chaotic joy that is #SecretSantaAoNZ ... it really is about the joy being shared and whatever you choose, i bet I'll love it and be grateful... ✨️🎄🎅✨️

Socks (especially handknitted) AND slippers ... or completely barefoot. Totally depends on season 😁 Don't expect my #SecretSantaAoNZ to knit me socks ... I KNOW how long that takes 🤪 so washing liquid for handknits could be an option ... SOAK would be lovely if that's an idea for you

Hmmm... i love necklaces but find I don't wear them that much. Think I've taken to regularly wearing brooches / badges as adornment... i also have pierced ears so do wear earrings. Studs, small hoops, or small dangles are the ones I favour. Welly collective has lovely selections #SecretSantaAoNZ

No known allergies. Have discovered pickled onion chips recently... yum! Chocolate is the best.... not Cadbury tho... fave is a simple creamy milk from Whittaker's although that's no longer a cheap treat! Will steal all the Turkish delights 😊 #SecretSantaAoNZ

Chocolate is always a mood booster. A block of Whittaker's 5 rolled is good, and spesh choc might be shoc or Bohemia. We dont buy cadbury in our house. Have always loved marshmallow Santa's. Have discovered pickled onion chips recently 😋 have no allergies
