The absolute gall of the Waitangi Tribunal interfering with an important plan to deceive the public by secretly introducing a controversial bill weeks earlier than previously announced. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's sister-in-law works for tobacco company Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has admitted his sister-in-law works for a tobacco company but says he has not discussed tobacco policy with her.

โ€œ I'd just say to that member, if he cares a lot about conflicts, I wouldn't call a sister-in-law a 'distant relative'."

From his own mouth.

Minister defends proposing bootcamp providers have use-of-force powers against kids, but canโ€™t say who they could be She wouldnโ€™t say what safeguards may be included against these powers.

Who's old enough to remember when all of the right-wingers were outraged that Tova dared to ask her if the boot camps would be permitted to use physical force against their rangatahi, including Karen Chhour who called these & related questions "revolting" www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

NZ Parliament just put this up on YouTube.

Wouldn't it save the NZ Taxpayer if they just contracted "The Compass Group" to provide MPs the same meals they provide to the kids?

I was horrified to read that. That attitude has to be rooted out and eliminated from the health system. It is utterly unacceptable.

The appointment of Rainbow was a blatant act of contempt. Goldsmith may as well have spat in our face.

I don't think the number of extremists has changed particularly, it's just that a bunch of them worked out that rather than have their own unelectable movement it's a lot more effective to trojan an existing broad church party. It's been a very successful strat to date.

It's becoming a truism with this government that the more noise they make about fixing a claimed problem, the more their policies achieve the opposite effect

Key was the leader of National, the party that claims, and is thought to be better for the economy in spite of clear evidence to the contrary.

To admit that claim is false about the GoP is to acknowledge it is false here as well

And thats the campaign point right there when landlords whinge. Interest deductibility and capital gains. It's both or neither.

imagine you wake up every day in room-sized bed. you are gently lifted from the covers and dressed in warmest sweaters each morning. your favourite foods are brought to you. you have no bills, no job, no responsibilities. but you are a chihuahua, so you are blind with rage.

If a punter out there dropped a lazy $20 on a black caps 3-0 series win they'd likely have a few thou in their pocket now

Very much so. I'm not a gambler but I wonder what we were paying for a 3 -0 series win before we started playing
