What has this government been up to? Brad knows. Brad's been keeping a list (over on FB)... #nzpol
Over the last three years, I’ve been keeping a list of the rubbish this Government has done. 
Stopped work on Auckland light rail.
Stopped all work on the Lake Onslow renewable battery project.
Disestablish the Ministry for the Environment.
Scrapped the smoke-free law to fund tax cuts.
Scrapped Fair Pay Agreements.
Gave $3 billion in tax cuts to landlords. 
Tired to paid himself $52,000 to live in one of his own many properties, on top of his half a million dollar salary.
The so-called party of infrastructure ... cut Cook Strait ferry deal, then paid $8 million for consultants to tell them they need new ships. $700 million wasted in total. Still no ships.
Stopped the Clean Car Discount, after Luxon took an $8,000 discount himself.
Blocked statistical reporting on who does and doesn’t pay their share of tax. Think about that!
Broke its election promise and didn’t scrap the app tax.
Scrapped Three Waters, pushing costs onto ratepayers and increasing rates.
Used $4,150 of taxpayers’ money to pay for his te reo Māori classes after saying, “People in the real world should pay for it themselves.”
Halved the crayfish take for locals, but cut the commercial take by only one-fifth.
Gutted freshwater protections so cruel intensive winter grazing could continue to pollute water ways. 
Took $80 million from hospitals.
Cut DOC funding by $125 million.
Scrapped the First Home Grant.
Gave half a million dollars of taxpayers’ money to their mate Bill English to do a "review".
Blew $8 million on consultants for a proposed tunnel under Wellington.
Wasted $4 million on a six-person advisory group to talk about crime and reduce youth offending. They achieved nothing.  
Gave big tobacco a $216 million tax cut.
Refused to reinstate Jobs for Nature while unemployment soared.
Reduced the qualifications needed for relief teachers.
Introduced new road tolls.
Deprioritised police responses to mental health and family violence call-outs.
Slashed $107 million a year from school lunches, costing…

Can’t believe NZ is heading into a Super El Niño with so many outdated fire engines in such appalling condition. Media scrutiny of the coalition government is so low that they can get away with not only causing crises as usual, but allowing highly predictable and preventable ones to happen. #nzpol

Just to add insult to stupid injury, if you're not familiar with the lay of the land Luxon is being traumatised by a pedestrian crossing literally a stone's throw from Wellington Railway Station (and major bus interchange) where thousands of commuters cross multiple roads every day without any fuss.
