It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single country in possession of a David Seymour, must be in want of an old-timey circus cannon.

The stand-off didn’t start in the chamber, it began when the Treaty Principles Bill was written into a coalition deal, not by the people, but 4 the powerful. As we await the govt’s next move toward a 2nd reading, know this: we won’t forget the why.

my biggest grievance with leftish pols is the pre-emptively compromising their positions.
demand enough state housing for the whole population. demand a cap on wealth. demand a bus route and cycleway down every street and a hospital in every township. make *them* bargain you down.

It's time for the Left to take the ACT approach to politics.
Ask for things well beyond your wildest dreams -free dental/optical/medical for everyone. Best in class schools. Public transport. A million new builds for public housing and just freaking push until people are exhausted.

Some lad has made one of my daughters a gift.
It’s a sword. Wooden, glorious. A hand and a half in size. Great length for her. Arya Stark quote on it, of course.
I dunno. In my day you’d be lucky to get a mix tape of Ian Dury songs.

I’ve lost count, is this the third or fourth dead cat to distract from the news the Act Party president resigned in an election year and voters didn’t know he was a convicted sex offender until about a week ago?
Hopefully this means the public isn’t letting go even if media have.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon refuses to say that David Seymour’s antics driving up parliaments steps, anti-immigrant comments by Winston Peters & Todd McClay & threats by Shane Jones to cut funding for charities who criticize govt don’t meet his standards. Does he have any?

I love our public health system. My daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma & once she received her diagnosis she was swiftly treated with the best docs & meds available. I didn’t have to think about what the financial cost would be, and nor should anyone ever have to think about that
I love our public health system. Our oldest is a heart kid, and in those awful hours after he was born there was never a question about whether he’d be treated.
