The Luxon government will adopt urgency to scratch its arse cheeks but anything that will benefit more than a few rich businessmen; women or young families or the disabled, can wait and be used as a bribe for the next election campaign #nzpol
Luxon, ex Air NZ CEO, now responsible for an unorchestrated litany of lies #nzpol
Luxon talks ambition for everybody but delivers options only for people who have already succeeded #nzpol
What would be considered "reasonable force" to use on big shits like paedophile party presidents, and their protective party principals, Paul Henry? #nzpol
Luxon says he is not a racist, but the problem is he is just so privileged, entitled and ignorant that he is oblivious to what racism even is or what it does #nzpol
Dear Mr Luxon, please explain why a splenetic racist with severe anger management issues is still serving as your government's Foreign Minister? #nzpol
This election season, do you want your racism thinly veiled or naked and unashamed? #nzpol
Chris Luxon must like disaster movies because he is starring in one and producing several more #nzpol
Simeon Brown is boasting that the Luxon government has slashed the cost of consultants; I would like to see these figures adjusted to reflect the obscene use of AI tools in government and parliamentary services. Because we'd see that's a shit ton of money - for very poor outcomes #nzpol
The worst example of over-taxing in New Zealand today is Luxon's brain #nzpol
Politicians arguing that the health services should be colour blind for reasons of fairness are glossing over a much bigger inequality, which is that health funding is significantly over-invested in diseases of the rich and indulgent. #nzpol
Between the stupid and the spiteful, this coalition doesn’t have many other policy types #nzpol
Irony of the day: that members of the House of Representatives are so good at misrepresenting things #nzpol
We're "on track" for net zero but we have engaged reverse thrust. #nzpol
Clux of the day: "Our policies are successfully fixing the basics and growing the economy which allows us to deliver* the services and facilities that New Zealanders need." [*NONE OF WHICH WE ARE DELIVERING] #nzpol
Paul Henry and ACT: because what the country really needs is more MPs who think violence and sexual assaults are fun #nzpol
It's quite simple: NZ, like the rest of the western world, will reach net zero when everything has burned to the ground and there's nothing left to preserve. Luxon just expects that to happen in less than thirty years and by God he's going to work hard to make it happen #nzpol
I remember my grandfather introducing me to Walter Nash (yes I'm that old). He struck me as a nice man. I'm not sure that he'd be too proud of Stuart today though. #nzpol
Have you been infected by the broke mind virus? NZ First is the party for you. #nzpol
"America is -respected like it has never been -respected before" Dis is true. #uspol
By giving us the Cook Strait Ferry Cook, Winston has clearly demonstrated that he’s a Cooker #nzpol
As a country which is so tightly identified with its unique birdlife, Kiwi-land ought to take the arrival of avian flu really fucking seriously Unfortunately the current government is relaxed about everything except corporate profits #nzpol
Shane Jones, take a good look at the buzz around NZ and the rest of the world. Then recognise that when your time comes you will not be missed. At all. #nzpol
It's deeply disappointing that on the day that Sam Neill dies we have a blathering idiot for a PM #nzpol
Rest in ignominy, senator who went out without coming out #uspol
The National party's problem is that it may believe in solar power but its donors do not #nzpol
We're top of the jobless charts and bottom of the wages charts and business leaders are over the moon, Brian #nzpol
