Donating millions of pounds to a political party is not philanthropy; it's an attempt to buy power and influence.

Lucky it’s only the back room staff that have been axed. We all know they didn’t do anything important or useful. If they get back in, the next round of layoffs will be just as benign.

At some point the goodwill & professionalism of our health workers ends and they give up en masse. Say hello to third world status.

What sets the CoC is the reckless, single-minded, ideological attack on norms. What we need is a reset, not nazi-lite.

Q. What don’t private hospitals treat? A. Any emergency cases or anything risky or difficult. They also don’t train surgeons, doctors or nurses, so rely on the Public Health system for their staff.

Locked out of my ‘sporting culture’ by corporate box take-over. Apart from a handful of All Blacks, but no Black Caps. I wouldn’t recognise any of them. The one benefit is I can probably identify more Silver & Black Ferns.

Apart from carefully choreographed ‘interactions’ he’s already off-limits to anything that might reveal how inept he is.

He is an evil prick & is unsafe to hold a single portfolio.

David Seymour? Rodney Hide? Peter Dunne? This is an already long-established political strategy on the right. Blocking potentially 300,000 voters from voting seems something more appropriate for the editorial leaders team to get their knickers in a twist over.

The self-confidence of these politicians that they will be wealthy & sorted when it comes time to rely on health services that are too expensive to be of interest to the private sector.

If the coalition want to cut health to save money, they should admit it as a policy decision. But to do it & lie is purely evil. Vote these pricks out.

A politician would respond that it is also over half the land area & therefore is under-performing. It needs more dairy, more tourists, less conservation land…

We’ve had nearly 3 years of spin, lying, misrepresentation, fiddling the numbers & malfeasance from this car load of clowns. It’s the way they roll. It’s their playbook. The only way to stop it is to vote them out.

Record foreclosures, high unemployment, high homelessness, record numbers using food banks, record child poverty, failing health service, failing infrastructure, building industry decimated etc etc. The sad result of inept policies from an inept and morally bankrupt government.

Peters being racist is not something you should condone because it might switch some votes your way. Peter’s being racist is something you sack him for.

Slow hiring, rejecting recent graduates, terrible conditions & a trolling minister have all been a consistent nursing stories under the #clowncar #coalitionofchaos government. Why only now are they getting called out? I hope there is something left to rebuild after the election. #1term

Luxon has clearly stated that achieving our climate goals will rely on inventing new technology that stops livestock emissions & allows us to burn diesel and LNG without generating Greenhouse gases. And those clever dudes at Federated Farmers, Air New Zealand & Fonterra are getting closer every day.

National isn’t asking for a second term on the strength of a tested record. It’s asking voters to set aside the last three years and judge it instead on a fresh set of promises: trust us this time, we’re serious now about cost of living, stability, the long term.

And when it comes time to write the obituaries for Trump, I fully expect ALL the respected journalists & editors to come out & say what a ghastly man he was, without redeeming features & they never liked, or supported him. If you mean it, say it while he’s alive!
