Living large and happy in the Bay of Plenty NZ - found myself to be more left wing as I get older - firm believer in the need for action on climate change, poverty, and equity for women, LGBTIQA+ and Māori all those things empower the world to be better.

Those two do not like each other one little bit you can see it in each other's face. I think they would rather set their heads on fire and put it out with a spade than sit next to each other! Aside from that he is 100% correct!

I didn't vote for him or his party. The fact that he has managed to get what he wants including the part-time DPM jig shows how weak Luxon is.

The man if full of sh#t. He wants nothing more than the Treaty ripped up and zero regulations in NZ so his rich mates can exploit the land and us!

I stopped reading after I think 2 paragraphs some self indulgent BS. I even did the poll and more people thought JA was excellent versus awful!

He is the space where a human would be - I cannot take credit for the quote but I feel it is a perfect description of him

Opinion: How breathtakingly bad was your Marmite sandwich line, Luxon? The worst part about this response wasn’t just that it was a complete shirking of responsibility. It was the fact he didn’t seem to get why people cared so much.

I am just going to leave this here - sums everything up nicely - Luxon is no leader - he is a shinny head that managed to fail upwards.

Love days like today - a walk through the bush with the family lunch at a seaside cafe and then a dip in the nice warm ocean.

The best part I cannot remember that last time I heard the orange man’s voice.

I have a lot of feelings about what David Seymour said in his "State of the Nation" speech today but they all boil down to one simple statement.

David Seymour can go and F*CK himself with a canoe - sideways.

Would the new Minister for the South Island have anything to do with the ferry debacle?

I mean post Kaikoura and Christchurch earthquakes which hit large parts of the island just got a Minister for recovery of those areas - so what’s changed other their ham fisted handling of the ferry issue?

What an absolute DB bag - it hasn't crossed his enfeebled brain that we can have both? Regulations to protect people from earthquakes AND funding for cancer drugs that saves lives.

Man, that is grim reading - I rate him as a pretty ineffective MP let alone Minister. I am not surprised with his attitude - for a while he was National's education spokesperson, and he wanted to turn every school into Auckland Grammar!

The truly dumb thing is investing Health IT can actually do a lot of good with limited resources so rather than scaling back NZ should follow international examples and dive head first into this area.

Workers on $180k won't be able to claim for unjustified dismissal under new policy High earners to lose unjustified dismissal rights after the Government's rule change.

Yes CEO who don’t meet KPIs but also Public organisations that don’t met the KPIs set out by Ministers

That could be judges, doctors university professors too

Maybe I think too much

I think that this would also work with judges and KC that they don’t like - so maybe this is NACT1 slowly weaponising things?

They will say that getting a plurality of votes is a mandate and that a vote is consultant - if that was true everything and I mean every policy and bill needs to be published before the election

Why not Mercedes or even better a McLaren!?

Weakest 6months since 1991! That’s is an accomplishment. Talk about taking us back to the lofty days of Ruthenomics

I hear the economy has reduced again by 1% - wow so glad we have the fiscally competent party in charge of the Treasury benches it is making all the difference.

Yeah keep telling me why a tax cut will fix all the problems we have
