Sorry…what? Surely this is a misprint.
How delusional do you have to be to support the party that is absolutely all about getting the State out of *literally everything in the world*, but also think there should be “more state houses?”

Thanks, Moore Wilson’s, for the kind offer to fund Russian bombs and bullets used for killing Ukrainian children, but I’ll pass, thanks…
Interesting to see NZ businesses happy to support this type of thing.

You might worry about your own personal abilities and competence, but you will never be as delusional as Steve Witkoff, the US Special Envoy to Russia, who reportedly believes that Russia has “always wanted a peace deal.”

We have a comprehensive Emissions Trading Scheme?
Would that be the Emissions Trading Scheme that has essentially collapsed because polluters have received clear licence to pollute from the government?
Is this comprehensive Emissions Trading Scheme in the room with us right now, Mr Watts?

Side note for rural/small town NZers: If you’re laughing at the photo of Kāeo’s water treatment plant in the article - chances are *your* local water supply looks somewhat similar (if you’re on a town supply).

News: Tariff “breakthrough” for NZ!
Actual facts: Extremely protectionist economy US (free trade champion, lol) drops ridiculous 20% tariffs, imposed by insane President, back down to the normal (massive) levels. Suddenly a win!
In reality, business as usual with NZ bullied by ally…
