    The petition to reinstate the Churchill portrait by National is not a joke???

    Pretty weird that after the intensive round-table hosted by Minister Woods with Transpower, Electricity Authority and key generators, there's not even a written statement released at the end of the day.

    It cannot surely be the case that this government will simply allow Transpower to just apologise, and Genesis and Mercury to just offer $50 bucks credit on accounts of people who can show they were cut off. Is this really the ping for major market failure?

    The Minister has confirmed the shut-down was preventable but has not yet shown how it actually will be preventable in future.

    If as Minister Woods says the extent of the state's power is simply to keep asking questions, the better question for us is simply: what the fuck is this government doing about it?

    I think this was the very worst day for Judith Collins in her whole career. She got very upset about a Winston Churchill painting in the middle of a pandemic.

    Juco has no radar, political or oherwise.

      @ Muttonbird (8) … Oh well, that explains why Judith Collins and National find keeping abreast with 21 Century NZ somewhat challenging, wanting to hang on to a portrait of Winston Churchill. Is it any wonder National is disintegrating down the dark hole back to Churchill's world of imperialism, tyranny and war?
