This photo of Simeon Brown really epitomises my impression of who he truly is
A young punk who's only real world job was as a low level BNZ bank teller and before that, an aggressive, bullying anti-abortionist lead at university #nzpol #kiwi
Let's take a moment to remember Luxon's KPI outcomes: 12-15 year business failure high, 10-15 year unemployment high, record job beneficiaries, record gang numbers & surpassing police #, higher sexual assaults & record domestic violence, 3500 cancelled state homes while 20,000 wait ...
Yes it's a post by Simeon Brown but on second thoughts, likely not himself. But the impression stands.
Incredulous that Luxon is saying "I didn't know corruption is happening in my office, from one of my closest advisors - Atlas Network NZ Initiative's Matt Burgess"
What's the bet they wanted to pass this anti-climate law under urgency too?
Looks like NZ Press Gallery is finally standing up to this despotic Government after National threatens to ban journalists from Parliament:
"If any MP has concerns about the editorial content of a story, that should be dealt with through the usual channels...."
This photo was the offence
Is anyone surprised that Shane Jones spent $63,000 to upgrade to business class, told a private limo to wait 24 hours & didn't care that he exceeded his approved budget by $30,000 - all while on a mining junket
Jones is the same guy who had no compunction charging porn to taxpayers #nzpol #kiwi
Luxon says the answer to his Chief Policy Advisor telling Fonterra & Z to take their anti-climate wish list (Which they got) into private emails is: "We're going to take it very seriously"
But Erica Stanford did the same for one year. Last year Luxon said: "I'm very relaxed about it" #nzpol #kiwi
Selling off & opening up to privatisation 60% of NZ's conservation land is tragic. Tourism is one of NZ's biggest earners, and mining only gets us royalties of 2% while being on the hook for billions of clean up costs, while they suck our resources dry. Let alone our wildlife, ecosystems #nzpol
