This, from

Oh please tvnz why the hell have you broken into the news bulletin to put Luxon on to tell us about weather events in the USA. Now saying there's a need for bipartisan effort to improve infastructure. From the party that whipped up hatred of 3 Waters which is exactly that

Hey

hop over to Luxon on Facebook Check out his trip to Te Puke. He learned if you put a log in one end of a machine wood comes out the other. Not a mask in sight. You gave hours of coverage of Ardern sans mask for a photo. There's a weeks worth there

Any council doing it right now, should help other councils. Auckland was dire for many years. Three waters prevents privatization of water. That's why the Nats are opposed.

397
The news, RNZ TVNZ is all about the dire situation in health and the increase in covid numbers and concern about new variants. In the same bulletins Luxon pontificates that the rest of the world have moved on from covid and we need to as well. He is not challenged on this. SIGH

Pagani wouldn't know kindness if she tripped over it. You know it is a crock when an unflattering pic of ardern is used alobgside an airbrushed one of pagani - what's with that? Usually the sour mealy mouthed one is portrayed less kindly. Ardern was a hit.

And, for the record, the overwhelming majority did not vote for ACT. It got in, as usual, riding on Nationals coat tails
You elected ACT to put things right, to ensure every person has equal rights, and to restore our country as a modern, multi-ethnic democracy with a place for everyone. Here’s how we’ve been doing that:
