People were paid to educate Marco Rubio. If you're looking for wasted money...

In times of international and local crisis, it's good (note: it's not good) to have a Prime Minister whose sole talent is talking about himself and about how much he loves hustling.

Building yet more fossil-fuelled infrastructure is the total opposite of pursuing energy resilience.

I'm still looking out for "cast cancellations" as marquee shows lose their non-white non-male leadership castings and replace them with all-American (sic) whiteboyz

NZ has a government in exile and all policy statements have to be cleared through the new FBI office in Wellington

The trouble for Keir Starmer is that he only represents the extreme of the middle

“I don’t think the progressives beat us, I think the progressives were told how to vote.” says the man who spent the last month telling people to vote for him.
Reform are poor winners, poor losers.

Every decision Luxon makes proves that he (and his government) are not interested in the well-being and security of our people; what matters to him is pleasing global corporates (and profiting off the kickbacks, probably)

If Chris Luxon wants to run government as though it were a business, then he and his cabinet should be personally liable for the long term costs of every single one of his alarmingly short sighted policy choices.

This damn government believes human rights should only be a priority for the privileged

It's the broke mind virus

The Paris Mayor swimming in the Seine the week before the Olympics is the closest parallel I can think of

I think he's run out of hustle?

It's amazing how many journalists claim skepticism while manifesting gullibility

They won't be taking holidays here, they'll be invading

well both are better than hatebait which is what most of Seymour's speeches amount to

Suppose you can have an income of $100m a year for the rest of your life, or you can be known in history as the person who saved humanity from extinction. Which do you choose?

The paradox is that the wealthier you are, the more likely you are to choose the money.

Look NZ, what we'd say to you is this; all this money is much better used going to the wealthy healthy because they're the people we meet in the first class airport lounges every day and if they're unhappy we're unhappy - Luxon & Upton

"Parties squabble over infrastructure" is how the media chooses to portray what is in fact "Government rejects the advice of yet another expert group"

My trees were looking prolific until the storm stripped most of them. I picked up more than a hundred immature limes that had fallen too.

“Please take warnings seriously” says PM Luxon, whose government ignores warnings on an almost hourly basis when taking them seriously would impact on their party’s major donors
#nzpol

He's played Create Your Own Adventure his whole sodding life

Why don't they just merge everything into one massive Department Of Donor Enrichment and be done with it

Luxon is the perfect PM for a vassal state: he has no principles, no ethics beyond personal enrichment, and as a fundamentalist christian he's used to knowing he's right despite a complete lack of any evidence to support him

NZ is governed by ecoterrorists, people who believe that it doesn't matter if they destroy the habitable environment so long as they get rich doing it.

Within a few short years the government budget will be an equal split between climate emergency funding and fossil fuel and farming subsidies. Health and education will become unaffordable luxuries.
