This appears to be Willis and the National Party admitting to the world that Luxon was a completely shit negotiator who was walked all over by his minor party partners when he formed the coalition.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

We in Aotearoa do not treat women politicians with respect.
A male dominated world where women are just "add-ons"
Fucking sick of the treatment towards any female.
What happened to Tory was absolutely disgraceful and politics should be embarrassed and ashamed

Tory Whanau isn’t leaving - she was hounded out
Opinion: As all the emails and filthy gossip came out, it’s been patently, toe-curlingly, nauseatingly obvious to every young woman what’s been happening.

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers.
Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023.
Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

Trump is calling for the murder of his political opponents
It was five months ago that Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman was gunned down in her home in an act of political violence
He didn’t go to the funeral
He didn’t lower flags for her
He’s riling up his base and it will cause more violence

Some opposition MP should put a "Regulatory Standards Act Repeal Bill" into the biscuit tin, approach the NZ First backbench MPs to sign on in support of it, and then see what happens if it gets pulled from the lottery ... NZ First didn't promise not to vote to repeal it once enacted!
Winston Peters vows to repeal Regulatory Standards Bill; David Seymour hits back
"We did our best to neutralise its adverse effects and we will campaign at the next election to repeal it," Peters told Radio Waatea.

Pedal power surges, but Auckland infrastructure trails the biking boom
OPINION: Adding car lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity. But this maxim does not apply to adding cycling options.
