And to think the crisis is only just starting, at this rate most nat mps will be working from home .. gardening.. ACT up, Greens down, is insane in the current climate.. #nzpol

The NZ government are so desperate to disparage the previous government's response to a global crisis - universally praised as amongst the best in the world - that they "busy" putting together a response to a different global crisis that will be universally recognised as amongst the worst. #nzpol

How's the Board of Peace going right now

Every day I expect to see Ashton Kutcher pop around the corner and shout at the team of 5 million Haha you suckers you have been punkd thinking Luxon was an actual prime minister #nzpol

Luxon: Yeah, hey its your Prime Minister here, Christopher. Just like to give you some updates about the war. Also to mention that I have opened up a stadium and we have billions of litres of oil. Helen: Hey honey who was that Mike: A spam call from a fake PM

Willis hates Luxon New Zealand hates Willis Bishop thinks he's the smartest And we end up being run by Peters

That deflating moment in the National Party when they realise they haven’t picked another John Key, they’ve just picked another guy in a suit and open neck shirt

Imagine being Luxon reshuffling your MPs and looking around and seeing MPs with a large housing portfolio than you, a MP after a few drinks abuses people and a MP that used a bedleg on a defenceless woman Fuck I would resign. How embarrassing #nzpol

I have written a few words Copied and pasted a few words from my mate Dave. Chris Luxon

Imagine being a hardened National MP and sitting in a cabinet meeting opposite Winston and Seymour. Imagine being a long time MP shoved to the side because of Winston and Seymour What an awful experience. I would purposely fart as I left the room. #nzpol

Is it me or do we have some really stupid Coalition MPs waving the white flag already with this fuel Middle East issue As Luxon and Co. get into their chauffeur driven cars and wave out to all the paupers. #nzpol

Problem with National is ACT and NZF have already burnt the life rafts so they are all pretty well stuffed. #nzpol

Luxon is doing nothing #nzpol

Change the whole team, these lads spend hours getting to NZ, let them have a go. #allwhites

Every time I look at that Kharg Island I think of Iwo Jima. It is Iran's territory and they will fight any foreign aggressor.

Does Luxon think the "E" on a fuel gauge means "E for enough"

Was that really a second yellow card. It's a bloody friendly😔

My grand theory of how the National Party sucks at governing is that because they think they are just naturally better at it, the only thing they feel they need to put effort into is differentiating themselves from the previous govt. If they do that, the results will take care of themselves

Even Wayne Brown gets it. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

'what was the estimated cost to GDP of the cook strait ferries being out of service between dates x and y' might be an interesting written q to ministers

Cornered by some young people outside the supermarket, you know those charity muggers who don't take "No thank you" for an answer? I really wish they were trained to take no for an answer instead of me having to say "Look, I said No thank you, and I mean No thank you".

Stop scrolling. Two characters who bring you happiness.

simon no watts 🙂

Over 20,000 construction jobs now lost since National came into power Construction is NZ's 4th largest industry accounting for 8% of our GDP, dwarfing obsolete minor industries like mining

My advise to AoNZ: get a bicycle, map out how you can safely use it to buy your soon-to-be even less affordable food. Find a bus route that works for you. Not joking 😐

And when they get into arguments over this, it's alwaysthis pathetic game... "I don't think just thinking about money should be as high on the agenda as..." "SO YOU HATE MONEY THEN?" "No, I am getting across that in comparison with..." "HATES MONEY. HATES INCOME. HATES JOBS. WHAT A HATER! I WIN!"

Have you noticed that the government are more concerned with not looking like Labour handling a crisis than handling the crisis? #nzpol

Luxon. Typical National politician. More worried about money than people lives, peoples livelihoods, peoples future. Just remember I am a tax payer paying for your PM oversized financial packages now and into the future. #nzpol

Luxon said the fuel crisis is not covid 2.0. and he is not throwing money around. Well with a finance minister like Nicola Willis I will be surprised if we have any money left #nzpol

When they tell you who they are BELIEVE THEM This isn't fucking hard folks

We wont have flour to bake sourdough because the trucks run on diesel

This National Party attack ad is stupid - they can't even focus on a job without resorting to "blame Labour". BTW Global inflation was 9-10% during Covid. NZ did much better than most. And Labour saved 20,000 lives. National's debt is tracking to $120b ($100b w pay equity) without a crisis.

As we move closer to the NZ General Election you must remember that this recession was not caused by the conflict in the Middle East. It was caused by this Coalition Governments desire for personal enrichment at any cost to the people of Aotearoa They are vile, sociopathic liars. #nzpol

It’s kinda amazing the the Nat’s ‘safe pair of hands’ reputation is fundamentally built on ‘as long as nothing goes wrong’ which seems like a bit of a deal breaker if you’re trying to be a safe pair of hands.

This feels weird. A lot of reporting is sounding very much like "how long will this take to get back to normal" when there's no sign in the short term that normality will return at all It's like 2020 Covid reporting

Poll position. I don’t think I can stand another eight months of this. My #cartoon #NZpol #NZElection26

I bet you an hour before we run out of oil the Coalition Government will let us know. #nzpol

Did the US achieve anything with the Korean war, nope. Did they achieve anything in Vietnam, nope. Anything in Afghanistan, nope. Anything in Iraq, nope. So they throw all this money at their armed forces and dont actually achieve anything. Wow the US taxpayers must love that. Nope.

A bit of bribery might be happening 🤔

You can sense there's more pressure on workers because businesses have downsized too much Worked yesterday and one of my colleagues emailed me at 11.15pm Thats how bad it is going

What worries me the most about NZ Inc (because that's the way Luxon runs it) is with the government downsizing and businesses following that, is that workers will be working longer hours to try and keep the businesses afloat.

So sick of seeing ads for Neutrogena. Seems such a cheap company and such an old fashioned gaze. Disgusting. So another boycott in our household. All products from their parent company. #PeoplePower

Not to belabour the point, but this was precisely what submitters opposing the new regulation regime were warning about. Regulatory work requires genuine domain expertise, not generalist managers making rules for which they are not equipped.

Just feels like we have all these failed "middle managers" running New Zealand. #nzpol

David Seymour’s metric for whether something is working well is that one of his mates is able to make a fortune off it

Chris Bishops chum

Thinking about buying a new car for work and thought about this little runabout with extra petrol cans #nzpol
