absolutely, Winston rolls Luxon because he's a moron, and then falls under the threshold in the resulting snap election due to his overconfidence. Who knows if it works out that way though.

NZ pol commentators SURELY can't keep doing this??
Screencap of an article from the NZ Herald politics page

Headline:

Forget the Treaty Principles Bill, Luxon's first real crisis lands – and could be the making of him

Sub heading:
Luxon has had the luck of being landed with a crisis that is right in his wheelhouse.

Am oft befuddled by people who claim their actions/interests are "not political". As Grace Paley once said, politics is how we want people to be treated. Imho, everything is political. Imho, to think otherwise is a position of privilege, if not wilful ignorance.

"Prison abolitionism" is very stupid rhetoric. You don't get to call yourself that and then act surprised when people think you want to abolish prisons. Don't strawman your own ideology.

First episode of Locked Out with Craig Renney drops tomorrow morning on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube with a conversation around electricity prices. Dis you know that there was a period last year when every dollar you paid for electricity had 92c profit for the provider?

Simeon gaslights NZ doctors, blaming them for the strike and telling doctors they didn't need to do this. Meanwhile National & ACT seek to silence doctors at the same time; offering a paycut while giving themselves 11% pay bumps for ruining the country and our public healthcare system #kiwi #nzpol

They tried this in Australia and it led to a wave of homelessness because people couldn't pay rent or utilities. Landlords also complained about missing out on rent money. The policy was scrapped. It won't work here either and everyone knows it. It will only create hardship. #nzpol

If the Trump regime can disappear a NZ citizen into a no-backsies hellhole jail in a third country for visiting the USA legally for business or to visit family or see the sites, the USA is no longer safe to visit and the NZ govt should issue a travel warning saying so So should every other country

It is good to see defense spending going up. Some insist that this is unnecessary. Some insist that there is no good reason for anyone to attack us. The sad reality is that the world is full of irrational governments that don't need a good reason to wage war.

NZ has one of the highest rates of workplace deaths in the OECD, as a previous SME owner I think this is a mistake and puts lives at risk. We paid for H&S courses for staff & their input into H&S of the workrooms was crucial. In my experience employers underestimate risk esp if home based. #nzpol

The Green Party needs to take some responsibility. Yes, the right-wing media machine will jump on any mistake they make, yes that is unfair, they still need to avoid making mistakes. Bad rhetoric and disturbing social media posts are not acceptable, they are a one way street to the opposition.

Mr Luxon: "Outrageous and insane" is an accurate description of your government's attitude to climate change, public transport, public health and environmental resources, and your own attitude to ministerial responsibility. As the airline announcement says: fix yourself first. #nzpol

The left needs to remember that Hooton is often bashing National from the right, he wants some awful neoliberal Rogernomics rerun. He will pretend to be above the Māori bashers but his classist policy agenda would drive countless Māori into poverty.

Matthew Hooton has changed his tune on Luxon - saying Luxon deserves a second term if an Indian deal goes through. Did he say the same for Ardern's historic EU deal or Robertson's increased global credit rating? Yeah, nah, Luxon & Nat don't deserve a second term, or another look in again. #nzpol

Here, let me help you find it.
The excess mortality chart covering the period January 2029-December 2023. The US hits 4000 extra deaths per million, Sweden hits 2000/million and at the bottom New Zealand sits on zero after spending much of the time in negative territory. 

Instead of losing thousands to COVID we did so well fewer people died than would typically die in a normal year.

Also, Fuck you Boris.
