@PronouncedHare Winston has 2 kids, but no one is entitled to NZS. In Australia their age of entitlement for the govt pension is 67 and it is means tested. We could do the same here but no way would I suggest it because it could cost Labour votes.

@Seshthecat1999 @PouTepou Thanks for your comments and of course your vote. We both agree that drug testing happens and there's a good reason for doing so. Now will you let me get on and win the election!

Sixty-three countries had a lower rate of inflation than NZ in 2022. I strive to be honest and Barbara does too, but sometimes the occasional white lie is necessary. The media has our backs. visualcapitalist.com/which-countrie…

Barbara Edmonds said on Q&A today that the whole world experienced high inflation during Covid. That was untrue. Its a lie I have said so often that Barbara thought she could steal it. The media won't call us out.

After she dropped $6.5 million on a flash home near the beach, I'll be surprised if we get $25 out of her. But as Cinders always likes to say, she didn't get rich by making donations to the Labour Party. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/el…

@citizencurran @ContactEnergy Sorry, Clare, as you know we were in government for six years and should have sorted this. If you vote Labour, I give you my word that we will sort it this time. In the meantime, may I suggest you shop around. broadband.co.nz/compare

@Seshthecat1999 @PouTepou Beneficiaries can get drug-tested. It happens all the time. I think we both agree on that. Now if you want to argue that people who receive handouts shouldn't be tested, feel free to make the case. But I have an election to win.

The 'team of 5 million' was naff but every now and then I find myself using it. We were trying to sound inclusive and sincere. Jacinda was fond of telling Labour MPs that "sincerity is the key to a politician's success - once you can fake that, you've got it made". thepost.co.nz/politics/36109…

In fact we spent $66 billion but allocated $70 billion so I consider that a win. The negatives were lockdowns, mandates, school closures, lost lives and livelihoods, and that uppity pregnant journo. But I got to reconnect with Toni, which made up for all those inconveniences. chrislynchmedia.com/news-items/cov…
