I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Yet strangely not a peep from those that whined about Ardern being a "part-time PM" 🙄
The sum total of speeches that Luxon has made in the House for 2025 so far:
1 speech opening Parliament
1 speech for the budget
3 obituary speeches
No speeches of any type at all between 22 May and 16 October
Why are we paying the egg-in-a-borrowed-suit to be the PM?💩🥚

In Oslo, four articulated buses trapped themselves in a roundabout yesterday.

I can't see him lasting past the middle of next year. The sharks are already starting to circle and from now on it's only a question of how long he can fend them off. #nzpol #Luxon #toast
“Prime Minister are you going to be rolled?” Tova’s back and Christopher Luxon hates it 👏👏👏🙌 #nzpol

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.
Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

It is truly a testament to the integrity of Joyful Noise Recordings that their beautiful new Daniel Johnston _In the 20th Century_ cassette box set is actually a box.
(It's 16 albums, mastered by longtime collaborator Kramer, in a limited edition of 999.)

Righto, we had 50 years of state sanctioned child abuse, we had a former Minster of Immigration under investigation for sexual abuse of children, we have the former Act party pres. convicted of sexual abuse, we had a collection of top police men covering for sex offenders, we had cops making false
