I'd love for that to be a question for any MP; "Do you have private health insurance?" Although I wouldn't be surprised to find that's a perk they get on our dime anyway. #nzpol

Child's Tantrum: I Don't Wanna

OK so three quarters of that article is direct, uncontested quotes from Muthu and/or the National party, and NOT ONCE does it list the other questions he claimed were "left-slanted". Brilliant reporting. 👏 #nzpol

The endless alternating between National and Labour certainly made it look like things didn't matter much. Now that we've had 3 years of a weak National leader wrangled from mediocre into awful by two extremist minor parties, suddenly people realise that yes, voting can have an impact. #nzpol

Q1: Why claim to have bottom lines when you're happy to throw them out for a "seat at the table", like the tax reforms? Q2: Can you explain why we shouldn't read anything in to Ms Wong's mother's close ties to Judith Collins? #nzpol

Yes, I have just been informed our PM is actually a man called "Christopher Luxon". I am awaiting confirmation, since it appears that is a soap salesman from America, with no leadership nor economic qualifications. He also does not appear to answer questions, or care about, well, anything. #nzpol

She still owes all of us the extra $250/week from 2023 on. By my maths that means we're owed approximately $39,000 each. I'll wait for the cheque to clear before I believe a single word out of her mouth. #nzpol

Wildly thrashing around for any single-issue voters he can get his hooks into. He will do anything it takes to keep riding the political gravy train. His worst fear is being irrelevant, and he has no other skills. #nzpol

Safety isn't the point. The point is getting our tax dollars into the hands of the "independent" consultancies (strangely somehow always businesses started by and staffed with former National MPs and hangers-on). #nzpol

While the Herald is publishing their (second) editorial crying about the destruction of election hoardings and imploring you to make your voice heard at the ballot box instead – because democracy! – here's a list of this govt repeatedly being anti-democratic, which so far have had zero editorials.
90% of submitters opposed the Treaty Principles Bill. 
88% of submitters opposed the Regulatory Standards Bill. 
80.5% of submitters opposed demoting te Tiriti in state schools. 
99% of submitters opposed disestablishing the Ministry for the Environment
93% of submitters opposed extinguishing the Climate Tort Prohibition Bill
98% of submitters on the move on bill were against it

Ah yes "Compliance costs", like "Making sure workers don't die" and "Making sure customers don't die". All horrible expenses that are making us uncompetetive internationally when compared to America which is ditching all regulations. Sure we may lose our EU customers but that's fine, right? #nzpol

I hate how we're being prepped for this as if it's inevitable. Nats pretending it's fiscally irresponsible not to, Labour as if they're taking a bullet for us by not. We spend well below the OECD average. It's only the greed of the 1% that makes this a financial issue, like everything else. #nzpol

Hopefully they see the response to this debate and realise the answer is to go left not more centrism, "across the aisle", compromise with the fascism enthusiasts BS. I still want the Greens to have as many MPs as possible, to help make that happen. #nzpol
