Oh no, you really are that guy.
"What if it was not a Public Servant who leaked the paper but a political operative intent on causing damage to Act and to Van Velden." This marks the difference between this government and previous right-wing governments. What the current clowns are doing...
On the bright side, it is kind of handy having incompetent people in government. It's not surprising, and quite telling, that van Velden went from loyal Green supporter to rabid right-winger because she wouldn't have had a look in if she'd tried to enter ...
Yes, if someone decides to communicate in Te Reo the government department is required to bring translators in. Few people exercise this right, but doing so now would be a great form of protest against what these clowns seem to be hellbent on doing. ...
Yes, this will be the undoing of them, when their own start to revolt. It's simply not credible that what this government feels determined to destroy won't be opposed by those from within. Luxon has misread everything. The nature and consequences of what ...

Plunket ain't no pundit.
I just hope Robertson's getting cut-through with his responses to Willis' incompetence. Telling her to "read the budget" mightn't quite cut it. The stupid and racist among us are likely to not understand.
I get physically ill watching clips of Helen Clark speak. Her refusal to restore benefit rates after Ruth Richardson's mamouth cuts in 1991 despite promises to the contrary, followed by an insistence on continuing with the previous government's anti-...
"So Willis has used the tried and true method used by desperate politicians and that is to make baseless allegations against Labour to try and create confusion. Either that or she has no idea of what she is talking about." The two aren't mutally exclusive,...
I'm guessing less than one. Willis is one of the most vacuous MPs in her party. Luxon's up there too. So much so even the most unthinking of NZ's racist majority will begin to see through them. The most apt question I think is which will come first: Willis...
It doesn't need to have been driven by dislike for the minister. The nature of what this government's doing overall is different from before, and there'd be plenty of people opposed to the policy who'd feel duty bound to do what they could to halt it.
Repealing the anti-smoking laws is national's key policy for reducing the cost of living.
It'd be interesting to know if there were any disgruntled nats who'd have the balls to cross the floor when the Opposition puts the vote of no confidence. It feels naive to think this could happen, but the agenda is so damaging and hateful there may be the...

I agree with almost everything you say, except the bit about putting a question mark over whether he'll always be a lightweight - which he will be, all the way from now until he's rolled. The deal he's made with Peters and Seymour has locked him into ...
Luxon wanted to be PM, probably felt entitled to be PM, so nothing was going to get in the way. Standing up to Peters could've been part of his legacy but he blew it. He'll always be a lightweight.
... collaboration with the likes of Chris Finlayson or other right-wingers...
I wouldn't call it brave - I'd call it principled, and being sent down the road would be for John both water-off-a-duck's-back and grist for the mill.
Yes, I think Seymour feels more aquired right now when he'd prefer to feel merged.
"One too many Weet-Bix" - wow - Seymour must be feeling way too aquired and not very merged right now.
"How on earth is it possible to have ended up with not just one clown whose number one priority is to take a wrecking ball to everything in their way, but three?"
The worst front row to represent NZ
Oh well, that's a start.
I saw someone else say something similar here the other day. What's the source or reasoning behind this rule or convention or whatever it is? I can't think of a principle that supports it.
It's about what AB mentioned earlier, assimilation.
Now is the time for Labour, TPM and the Greens to be shouting from the rooftops exactly what Seymour's plan for a referendum is about.
"Whatever else he may be Luxon is also going to be a very boring PM. His communication is so repetitive, scripted by his PR people and false." Totally, but great for the next election. As an aside, I wonder how long he'll carry on with his "strong and ...
I think you've accidentally given him an extra dimension. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Dimensional_Man
Well, it wouldn't take much for him to do that.
Peters and Seymour attempting to demand a referendum on the Treaty is Luxon's opportunity to look strong, even if it means another election. The only trouble is that he won't take that opportunity and instead will accept the referendum as if he had no ...
