Tick tock!!
Exactly
Luxon's repeated refusal to listen, take on advice & feedback & his 'complete lack of self-doubt' (per Moir) =hubris, inflexibility & an inability to learn from mistakes.
These feature strongly in studies of what causes leaders to fail.

"I misspoke" is no more an apology than "I'm sorry you were offended."
Erica Stanford is a LIAR who LIED in an election campaign stunt to whip up hostility towards non-white immigrants.
Anyone in the media who can't, or won't, say that straight up is also LYING. #nzpol
If you are an Immigration Minister, with access to the latest data and experts as part of your job description, and you're still peddling false and misleading over-stayer figures in an election year?
You didn't "misspeak." You are a LIAR who got caught LYING. End of story. #nzpol
When Aotearoa/NZ needs a leaderβ¦ we get this corporate, middle-manager side-shuffle π€. Itβs pathetic. He should just go away at this point. Heβs so embarrassingly ineffectual. Give me Jacindaβs clarity & decisiveness any day.

"Itβs the absence of this normality that allows abnormality to fester. Thatβs what we wanted. Not this imbecilic, circular passing of the collective buck. A move thatβs so stupidly impractical and casually inhumane that it only appeals to the sort of person who knows nothing about this."
A screen shot from Facebook of Ryan Hamilton holding a bucket and wearing a big, soliciting donations for the Heart Foundation outside Hillcrest New World.
The origins of the Move On orders are from Ham East National MP, Ryan Hamilton - former Hamilton City Councillor whose council colleagues are setting up bylaws of a $20,000 fine for basically being visibly homeless.
It begs the question, who's allowed to ask for money on the street and who isn't?
Weekly jobs update. Still looks like we are settling on zero jobs growth for a while. I mean it is better than losing jobs, but it's not a recovery is it? (1/3)
#nzpol Child poverty data from Stats NZ out today. All political parties except Act agreed to the Child Poverty Reduction Act 2018, creating legally mandated targets for child poverty reduction. Right now, we are missing even the looser targets the government has set. A π§΅

This is a "papers please" "English is the official language" "eat slop and be grateful" "disappear the unhoused" "women are second class" "don't learn real history" "local FBI office" government and we really cannot afford to be smug about other countries' slide to open fascism, Aotearoa
every time david seymour says anything related to sex crimes the outpouring of *legitimate* hate directed at him on social media is wild
given that, & that he's one of the *most unpopular NZ politicians of all time* it is ludicrous to me that ANYONE in the media still holds water for him... and yet

Inspiring to end the year meeting Argentinean President @javiermilei and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno. Their Government has halved its number of departments, cut spending by 30 per cent, is posting the first fiscal surpluses in decades, seeing poverty down and economic growth up. I was struck by Mile's deep economic knowledge and his humility considering his enormous achievements. Legend. Post by David Seymour
In Argentina, locals are taking loans to buy food Argentinians are taking on loans, selling their belongings, and living on credit cards to pay for basics including food.
David Spanky Seymour recently visited Argentina & espoused the 'economic' genius of their idiot President.
This is who our current Deputy Prime minister is calling *checks notes* a "legend".
βAt Waitangi this year, the prime minister structured his speech around the three articles of Te Tiriti, and explained what each article says and means.
The problem is that he was just plain wrong, writes legal scholar Carwyn Jones.β #NZpol e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...
