But it's OK because he used to run an airline
That's what they are used to under a National government. The public complaining is getting louder because they are not getting their way.
They may not have done so but the do consider National to be the only rightful government of NZ
GST cut benefits Luxon as much as it does me. Make the first $25k tax free and tax the rest at 35% Make Superannuation and Benefits tax free - and there is the Winston vote
"Super Gold payments are actually benefits! Dole bludger one day, heroic pensioner the next." Thank you Mr Seymour!
So instead of perpetuating the disaster that is Transpower, why not use that upgrade money to supply every house under (say) 10 years old with a solar system including storage?
And Three Waters
Is there a point to anything?
I find this "Williams was not competent to be Police Minister and she has no credentials for DOC" rather interesting. In my elderly mind it shows that writers don't want to understand that MPs are elected to become Ministers, rather they are elected to ...
ISTR that Ardern has always said that we are not playing tit-for-tat over the 501s, but it really is time that we returned the favour and started deporting miscreant Aussies
Colossal - nice choice of word there....
Granny won't (in my experience) print anything that criticizes their paymasters
"" Associate Minister Allan must put in place catchment-wide stocking limits and a sinking cap on synthetic nitrogen fertiliser use to stem the tide of nitrate leached from fertiliser and cow urine from entering our drinking water.”" And if she doesn't ...
New Zealand's firearm laws don't appear to be working in Auckland at the moment
I notice that he hasn't proposed reducing the size of Parliament, cutting staff in Parliamentary Services or reducing the staff of parliamentary research units.
"They present no alternative showing how we are going to get to carbon neutrality. Instead there is a yearning for the status quo to prevail when clearly this is no longer an option." But how many "real people" actually believe this? Do Joe and his wife ...
You forgot my favourite - Magillicuddy Serious Party day!
A CGT would be great, if only it disadvantaged the multi dwelling owners like the Opposition members
The Government should equip every house in NZ with Solar panels and batteries. That will save a lot of coal and oil powered generation
Te Huia goes to the Strand now. It cannot go into Britomart because it is diesel hauled. Tunnels are treated the same as mines after [name deleted] killed all those miners [Unless that person was charged and found guilty of killing all those miners you’re ...
Don't forget that he called the poor "bottom feeders" That also makes him unfit to be PM
20 deaths per day? If the Nats and ACT had had their way you could probably multiply that by 100
Pilot's suggestions, captain's orders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_pilot
I'd like to see the Magillicuddy Serious Party make a play for the seat
Simple Simon met a pieman, Going to the fair; Says Simple Simon to the pieman, Let me taste your ware. Says the pieman to Simple Simon, Show me first your penny; Says Simple Simon to the pieman, Indeed I have not any.
Three Waters and Auckland Light Rail will be enough to lose them the election. Disregarding the overwhelming opposition by both councils and the public to Three Waters is incredibly stupid, and it makes the Minister and the PM look incompetent. The huge ...

"Superannuitants get the extra allowance in winter, so is that "nothing"?" It barely covers the cost
But no increase, apart from that mandated by law, to the weekly payment. The things you mention are only of use if you need them. And now with inflation at nearly 6% and food and utility prices increasing it is becoming very difficult to manage. 500,000 ...
Why do they need to apologise. She, like every other New Zealander, was told by the Government time and time again that if they left the country they may have difficulty getting back. She didn't listen and then used her contacts in the media to cause ...
And, again, nothing for the superannuitants
