Diabetic patient died after vanishing while looking for food in hospital A 79-year-old was missing for nearly an hour before being found in a stairwell.

This is on you, #ChristopherLuxon and your govt's failings.

So sad and horrible for him and his family.

We have to do better.

Catherine Wedd and Grant McCallum, both members of the environment select committee which met at Parliament on Monday, are the latest National MPs to throw their support behind the prime minister. "At the moment, in our government, he is the best prime minister that we have," Wedd told Stuff. "I think that Christopher Luxon ... is doing a really, really good job."

Huge endorsement from Nats MP for Chris Hipkins here 😁 #NZPol

Farmers support it. Animal activists want it. Will the government take action? Explaining New Zealand's animal welfare loophole.

#Animal products, specifically pork, eggs & wool, are imported to #NZ from countries with fewer animal #welfare laws in place. Farmers & activists alike say this is unfair & the law should change - #nzpol

"At the moment, in our government, [Luxon] is the best prime minister that we have," backbench MP Catherine Wedd said.

How many NZ Prime Ministers do National MPs think Aotearoa has, that Luxon is the best one?

"At the moment, in our government, [Luxon] is the best prime minister that we have," backbench MP Catherine Wedd said.

So they dont trust anyone else.
Or they haven't got anyone else to fill the gap.
Or they dont have anyone that will lead them to an election win

Those lies sounding pretty much like a Nat/ACT/NZF coalition agreement #nzpol

Diabetic patient dies in hospital stairwell after urgently needed food delayed A diabetic patient collapsed and died in a Waikato Hospital stairwell after a delay getting urgently needed food.

Diabetic patient dies in Waikato Hospital because they didn't feed him, his blood sugar crashed, and he fell.

Preventable and very sad dealth. Another capacity issue?

This I approve of, what's kinda getting on my tit atm is EV owners on FB going 'well I bet you feel a dick now for now owning an EV'.

Sorry mate, most of us can't afford a decent 2nd hand car let alone the switch to EV - so be considerate eh.

Go at the Govt, not the plebs like me.

Luxon isn't gonna get rolled. He's going to get a corporate opportunity in the US that he will be advised to take and he'll agree like a good little vacuous lapdog

Luxon digging refusing to step aside for the good of the National Party brings to mind how extraordinary it was that Andrew Little swallowed his pride admitting Jacinda Ardern was the better person for the job

Now part of that was having a Jacinda I suppose but Nats have had time to rebuild! #NZPol

Nicola Willis; Liar or incompetent?

You can't tell a third of the economy to cut spending, give the other two-thirds an effective paycut through rampant inflation, and expect the economy to grow. It just doesn't math.

So was she lying? Or does she just not understand the economy?

Or both?

#nzpol

"Unsure" polling higher than the actual leader #nzpol

Luxon out by Friday? #nzpol

A chocolate fish for the first journalist to ask Luxon or Willis "Will you take full responsibility for the rise in inflation this year due to Geo-political events, considering you demanded the same of Labour during the last election campaign?" #nzpol
