"Why didn't you warn us about this problem?" asks man who ignored warnings about the problem & continually said warnings were about a fake crisis.
Today on NewstalkZB, Mike Hosking said it's a "reality check" for the Government to not have a proper response for climate hit areas.
Some examples of his previous work that may point to how we got here.

Maybe it's just me, but at work the quotes that I get push back on are more often small amounts from smaller clients. Large quotes, or for large clients, tend to just be accepted as is.

NZ Post should not be run "as a business". It's a fundamental public service and every issue you have had with it, or with courier delivery, in the past 30 years is down to governments sacrificing that public service for the sake of short term cashflow

Leaders should absolutely show up, but disaster response isn’t a photo op or should be trivialised. Watching our Prime Minister hand out boxes of KFC to impacted communities was peak cringe IMO. We need serious, systems-level action and that 6b resilience fund like yesterday.

Yet again, in almost any other NZ government a minister telling NZers to *eat less food* to save money would have them hounded by media and pushed out of politics.
Never forget the immensely important protective role that NZ media have played in protecting these fascists from public outrage.

Puts ACT corporate donors on the hook for misleading about their supply chains and is actively against the interests of NZF fishing industry donors if you're wondering why it's not a govt bill.
National and Labour MPs are teaming up for a modern slavery bill, using a new and never-before-used rule that allows them to skip the biscuit tin for a members' bill with enough support.

It's weird that a news organisation ran a poll asking if the founding document of our country had "too much" influence on how the government opererates.
What will they ask next, does the Bill of Rights Act give us too many rights?

Has the current government appointed someone to a position to a chorus of "That's a great choice", or even a "They're adequate"? Almost all appointments I hear of are of people unsuitable for the role or mates of those in government.

It’s not unheard of for a FORMER politician to be put in this role - Sir Geoffrey Palmer was appointed in 2005 - but no current politician has ever been given it (and by their own government) … this carries a real risk of apparent-partisan bias in what has been a non-party-serving institution.
