The TV3 debate is being well controlled by Rebecca Wright and she firmly challenges when necessary. She is mostly not allowing one or another to dominate. Surprisingly, Marama Davidson is succinct and behaving like an adult. Seymour and Peters are ...
The serious and draining effect of Covid on NZ over the last three years seems to have been forgotten, which is understandable in a way because people want to move on from that difficult time. But Covid must have affected the government being able to ...
So many of those improvements for workers have faded into the background now. A list of them should be somehow publicised as a reminder. Poor wee Chris Bishop is still upset and having a cry at the CTU, even though he was reminded about his negative ...
Good on the PM for cleverly highlighting all the nasty rubbish put out by the opposition and their hangers-on, which they have been doing for years. I thought he handled it excellently. For Chris Bishop to think it acceptable for them to attack and not ...
Observations from yesterday's Sunday programme. The PM came over as completely natural, genuine, with a quirky sense of humour, likeable, and dedicated to do his best for NZ. Luxon came over as pompous, self-important, and as if he had pre-scripted ...
10 years or so ago I was sitting beside a Canterbury farmer on a flight to Christchurch. Chatting away, he mentioned Auckland corporates had bought adjacent farms. But the corporates refused to contribute to the boundary fencing upkeep, leaving it to him ...
Incognito, I use an IPad which doesn't quite work like a laptop and I don't know how to do links. Sorry.
Seymour's "jokes" will not be funny at all for those voters he is wanting to make unemployed, or those having their working conditions downgraded. Excellent article in The Post today by Max Harris on National/Act and their so-called "bloated bureaucracy". ...
Act's current MPs, apart from the leader and deputy, have always seemed to be kept silenced by Seymour, so have often wondered what their background is. One would barely know who they are or that they are even in Parliament. Good that their current list ...
Contradictory of Luxon to say the well off should pay for their prescriptions but at the same time those same well off deserve generous tax cuts.
Notasocialist - perhaps instead of belittling public servants you could spend time improving your sub-standard grammar, jumbled expression and lack of punctuation. Then you may be able to make your point more worthy of commenters' entering into discussion ...
Nasty, twisted little man. Takes such glee fantasising how many thousands of people he will make redundant.
Winston is descending into farce. Some years ago he would have been the first to rant and rage against the loopy ones he is now taking on board. Loved The Post cartoon today of NZ First's tinfoil hat. Winston will not like being laughed at. He should ...
Pleasing to see Stuff investigating some of desperate Winston's weird candidates. High time it was exposed who he is consorting with. Not surprising now that he made a pilgrimage to the protesters at Parliament last year. There he was, amongst the rag tag ...
Agree Anne that the PM should be sharpening up his attack on Chris Luxon's negativity and lack of empathy towards people and let NZ see his natural personality, in contrast to Luxon who is boring, and personality-free. We can all recall Hipkins' delightful...
I have long thought that Labour needs to speak up more forcefully in response to National/Act and the Jenna Lynch and Jessica M-M sorts with their vicious nastiness when someone has let themselves down by their behaviour. Luxon maintains he is Christian ...
It is sad for Kiri that she was really not ready for being back in the bear pit. It is sad for the PM that this has happened not just now, but any time. And it is sad to see the caustic, gleeful comments from some of the commenters here. For goodness sake,...
Dennis Frank - you must have a lot of time on your hands to indulge yourself so frequently here - up early, trawling sites to find something to enable your intellect to respond to. Be nice to have a variety of commenters though.
The bunch of mostly old blokes in Auckland seemingly got away with their schoolboy behaviour while the Wellington mayor, being female, youngish and Māori, gets no such tolerance. And no male politician was ever put through the disgraceful online bile that ...
Agree Floyd. On reading the screaming front page headlines in today's Post my first thought why are these accusers' names not published. Somewhat cowardly. If they are wanting to have their issues aired they should be courageous enough to give their names....
Luxon repeatedly blurts out anything that he thinks will connect him with Joe and Joan Public, even if it makes no sense or has to be clarified later. He is embarrassingly unlikable.
A Wellington problem - a proposal to ban all private cars from Parliament, Lambton Quay, Willis Street, Manners Street, to Courtenay Place, and side streets. Lots of noise about this marvellous plan. Little noise on how people will cart their shopping ...
Maddening to see Radio New Zealand's headline - Luxon says Chris Hipkins is weak for not managing his team's culture. Given the PM has been in that role only after these Nash/Wood problems were occurring, perhaps RNZ could improve their accuracy. Perhaps ...
Luxon on a scooter? That would be as funny as the very ill-fitting suit he wore to the Coronation when he stood beside Richie McCaw and tried and failed to look statesmanlike. He just doesn't cut the mustard in so many situations.
Hunter, you may need a wee reminder of National's recent history with their some of their dubious MPs, candidates and a person called Michelle Boag, and their fake talk back callers. People in glasshouses.... Humans are not perfect, even in National's ...
What appalling comments from Luxon. He is the one forever moaning and being negative and whinging. As for NZ being wet, yes there has been wet weather. Is he not aware of climate change. The mind boggles at what comes out of his mouth. He gets more ...
Luxon is boring, spouts his talking points in a rote way. It's as if his "hand holders" are talking to him via an earpiece. A potential PM should have some personality and dynamism surely. And to plan to give himself an $18,000 a year tax cut says it all ...
Nicola Willis on Newshub accused Labour of "gutter politics" over the free contraception and "have more babies" issues. When National is free of a bed leg basher, several sexually inappropriate messages/comments from MPs/candidates, putting a picture of ...
Seems the Herald is keen to deflect from Wayne Brown's public relation disasters by fussing about what Wellington's mayor should or should not be doing. Normally Wellington's mayor would be ignored.
National/Act keep talking about tax cuts. Has it been widely publicised what all wage and salary levels would actually get? Luxon would get $18,000 a year which sounds attractive but what does someone earning $40,000, $50,000, $70,000 get per year? Time we...
If the AI images above are the ones National used, in my opinion they do not look "real". There is a blankness in the faces which is rather creepy. National stooping to using so called "people" is not a good move.
