@michael13699861 It sends a message to a huge chunk of voters that their interests aren't a priority The National Party has a wealthy donor base & it's quite a common thing for other parties MPs to help fund party activity because they often have to but are shortchanged in the ability to do so
It's often said a country deserves a strong Opposition so consider this, not that I think for a minute that salary is a driver Chris Hipkins let alone his motivation so who & why was this decision reached? For the 1st time, the Leader of the Opposition will be paid less than the/
Speaker and Cabinet Ministers The Speaker isn't performing his job well at all & those ministers almost without exception are the poorest examples the country has ever seen or had to pay for While also IMO Luxon isn't doing it for the money he does do it for the status he craves
With Baldilocks having about as much charisma as a half-eaten sandwich, I can understand why they roll out that other guy when the going gets tough 🙄
Excellent interview with Albany Senior High School Principal @ClaireAmosNZ about National's phone ban: "I'm a firm believer that we're here to prepare our young people for the world beyond school. And as far as I know, beyond school, people mostly manage their own devices."
Have I got this right. Luxon doesn't want his $50,000 salary rise, but he did want the $51,000 for rent on his Wellington flat because he was entitled to it? Mmm, ok then. 🙄
Willis screaming and shouting while attacking Labour. National is really stressed out.
Councillor Pauline Cotter in council meeting today: “We know that there's not a capacity issue in Christchurch and that intensification doesn't address affordability” This is untrue.
Saddened to read of the passing of Sir Robert Martin, a wonderful leader for disabled people everywhere. Vale, Sir Robert and thank you for the difference you made.
Let’s face it . Luxon is a joke & we will just have to wear it for 2.5 YEARS. 🤷♀️ Not a fan obviously. But I do enjoy the humour attached to it & I know we will win the shit out of them next time around. Keep smiling, we got this. 💚❤️🖤
🧵1/18 In case you missed it, yesterday the Waitangi Tribunal released an interim report on the govt’s proposed repeal of section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act. Link below, but here is a thread summarising what the report says. Any errors my own etc. etc. waitangitribunal.govt.nz/news/tribunal-…
What the fuck?
@ThatMaoriGirl we're in serious trouble if we get a pandemic whilst Luxon is in charge. He'd make people pay for vaccines, he's cut medical staff numbers back. It would basically be every 'man' for himself.
A child has been diagnosed with whooping cough in WGN. We're poised for a measles epidemic. Covid is still here. Bird flu has been found in US and suspected in India. We're in serious trouble. But, landlords....🤷🏾♀️
Just so you know - those hospital cuts? They're having effect right now as we head towards winter which is always a full on time.
Went back to Luxon's wee pity party, for himself, a couple of times tonight just to make sure it was as disturbing as the first time. It was.
Luxon will take the raise, but says he’ll donate it versus the previous government putting a halt to raises owing to the state of things. I so tire of rich people doing philanthropy so as to cover their arses
Can anyone point anything has been done by the CoC to address the cost of living crisis that Luxon and National campaigned so hard on? Can you tell me anything that has had an impact? (fyi cigarettes have NOT gone down)
So when Luxon signed the CoC agreement hes effectively job sharing his PM job and having no portfolio responsibility the lazyiest prick PARTTIME PM no wonder hes got time to do junkets overseas do TikTok and wear ridiculous Potus numbered T shirts and do creepy photops with kids

It’s so hard for multi millionaires to steal money from disabled people. It’s SO hard bro. It’s so hard to steal from babies too. It’s super hard to steal from medical staff & teachers, but the reality is… LANDLORDS donated to me

I find it interesting that someone says at 60 they’re too old to change a habit & learn to say Pito-one instead of Petone. Pretty sure there will be other habits changing or new things being learnt to get through current daily life….
What the fuck?
Chris Luxon: "You think you've got it tough, I'm the one who has to cut thousands of jobs & kick people off benefits and evict people from public housing. No one's doing it tougher than me."
@ThatMaoriGirl we're in serious trouble if we get a pandemic whilst Luxon is in charge. He'd make people pay for vaccines, he's cut medical staff numbers back. It would basically be every 'man' for himself.
A child has been diagnosed with whooping cough in WGN. We're poised for a measles epidemic. Covid is still here. Bird flu has been found in US and suspected in India. We're in serious trouble. But, landlords....🤷🏾♀️
