This is the moment Nicola Willis flourished her feathers and started to make love to her National Party colleagues, the game is afoot #NZPol

But instead of leaving the conversation with nothing more than a partisan jab, Willis was happy to talk about the poll at quite a bit more length than other Government MPs, who offered the usual bromides about “tough times” and not paying any attention to a single poll. “I'd like to see us a lot higher. The reason I'd like to see us a lot higher is because I believe that the policies that we as a party wish to pursue are going to be better for New Zealand, not just in the short term, but for the kind of New Zealand that we want to see in the future.” She then launched into a list of broad appeal goals of hers, with language a million miles away from the usual prickly defensiveness practised by the Prime Minister. “I want to see a New Zealand where more kids are learning to write and do maths - you need structured literacy and numeracy for that, you need our Government's reforms. I want to see a New Zealand where actually it's not just our ag sector growing, it's our tech sector growing. We need stable economic management for that to occur. I want to see overseas investment coming in to create jobs. You need our Government to get that,” Willis said. “I think our party represents the values of most New Zealanders, and we need to be able to pursue our maximum policy agenda for New Zealand to do well in the world.” There was nothing in this mini-speech, delivered just after the news that the Reserve Bank was cutting the Official Cash Rate by 50 basis points, that you could read as out and out disloyalty. But after weeks of Luxon talking of “the two speed” economy, his deputy finally seemed to find the second speed he so struggles to shift into himself.

“Children and teenagers are twice as likely to develop long Covid after a second coronavirus infection as after an initial infection, a large new study has found.”

Great we’ve just confirmed that any NZ teenagers with chronic conditions trying to access government support are out of luck 🫠

In 2022, protestors hurled bricks, faeces at police & lit fires. Winston Peters said those protestors just wanted to be "heard" & shook their hands.

This week Peters called the mostly peaceful, law abiding Kiwis outside his home "gutless, spineless, [the] worst" protestors #nzpol
Faeces thrown at police at Parliament protest
Poo was pelted at officers during an early morning operation today to contain the protest at Parliament. The 3.30am operation caught the occupiers off guard with attempts to thwart the plan, resulting...

Fucksake. It's quite clear now that they only looked at this benefit policy as political marketing and took no advice on who it would impact – which includes young people with serious health issues and disabilities. Just feckless and cynical. Shame on them. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Hundreds of teens with a health condition, disability may be cut from Jobseeker benefit
The government is ending Jobseeker payments to 18- and 19 year olds whose parents earn more than $65,000.

That's how he really feels folks.

Judith Collins: 25.6% 2020

Bill English: 21% 2002

Christopher Luxon: ? 2026

Could Luxon get lower that Judith? Could he crash down below English?

I reckon he'll get about 24%
