@TheSpinoffTV your last gone by lunchtime wax such a glorification of National it was nauseating. They lost a huge amt and had a rich man’s campaign and electoral suppression to even get that. The electorate does not like them.

Congratulations Asher Emanuel for this excellent book. So depressingly familiar and wasteful of lives who need help in so many ways. It should be compulsory reading for all politicians, justice and social service workers. All New Zealanders should read at least the epilogue.

@chrisluxonmp if you do not sack your Foreign Minister you will confirm New Zealanders and the worlds view that you are the most ineffectual person to ever lead a country. Your Foreign Minister is undermining our relationship with 1 of our most important trading partners.

National woos the women’s vote, but its cynicism is showing

So extremely sad to hear of Sam Neill’s death. He was a wonderful actor and more importantly a great man. A farmer, winery owner and environmentalist he will be greatly missed.
