Now, that's some heroic spin. 'Even party attendees who don't support my idea of pissing in the punchbowl appear to be supporting the idea of mass participation in discussing the merits of pissing in the punchbowl in 2025. I find that very, very exciting.' t.co/m0jrqX07pb

you gotta feel a bit sorry for Nicola Willis - hung out to dry by Luxon and forced to announce her own sacking from the ferries project. But how do you go a full year and be no closer to a new ferry plan than iReX was cancelled?

Just catching up on Luxon's Q+A interview (yikes) and something that I noted was he kept saying that rents have stopped rising under this government. That isn't true. Not only are rents rising fast relative to past years, they're now rising faster than wages

37,000 jobs lost since March this year, according to the Stats NZ data out today That's 250 job losses per work day on average. #backontrack
