We live in a world beyond parody. The United States has had four minesweeper vessels in the Persian Gulf for 35 years. Just yesterday these ships arrived in Philadelphia to be decommissioned, a day before Iran announces that they are mining the Strait of Hormuz.

I do not understand how the ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTARY destruction of the original ferry replacement is not a massive political scandal?!

It was a reflexive ideological decision that has disadvantaged the country significantly.

Australia has shown how subsidising solar works. It’s not a concept, it’s already been achieved in the real world. Yet NAF coalition govt.? “Nah, LNG imports mate”. Who voted for these people? Seriously? Talk about BAD decision making 😳. Their economic mismanagement will reverberate for years #nzpol

Wellington please read this and not only contact your labour councillor, deputy mayor and mayor. But contact your green councillors and tell them you support them

Electoral Commission Enrol, check or update your details here.

I have just learned a woman on the Maori electoral roll checked her details overnight and found she was registered as living in a place a long way from where she actually lives. #NZPol #ElectoralRollThis news caused one of the people I live with to check their status. (1/2)

#nzpol The National/NZ First/ACT coalition government seems determined to paint us into the nearest corner. They've made ridiculously bad economic and resilence decisions across all their portfolios. Vote all these vandals out.

With the evident failure of the Luxon experiment, I hope the National Party, the media, and the general public might give some thought to the qualities needed in a leader.

I found the media excitement about Luxon entering politics baffling and nothing he has done since has changed my view.
