The link to Nicola Willis claiming the 'books' look better is direct. She's the Mum skiting her whanau has an extra $100 in the bank while forgetting the two kids she starved, the one who pissed off to Australia in desperation, and that her sister now sleeps on the street. This is not success #nzpol

If rates are capped at 4% I feel like Tiaki Wai will be responsible for running swimming pools soon.

Somehow the expectation has been set in politics that getting a good blame in is a winning strategy. I guess it is easier than being competent.
So Andy Foster, on the council for 30 years AND part of the government that passed water legislation and signed off on Tiaki Wai, thinks Wellington’s water issues are everybody else’s fault????

Now, that's what I call journalism! Just pure newshound energy, 29 seconds of the facts and nothing but the facts. Nice work by Glenn McConnell. 🎬 👏

Is it 'very difficult' to cross Molesworth St as Luxon says? We check
Discussing the Wellington he used to live in during the 1980s vs contemporary Wellington, Christopher Luxon says it's gone from being "the place to be" to having a "whole bunch of bike lanes up Molesw...

Well I enjoyed this and even laughed out loud at my desk when I got to number 1 on the list:

All the times Christopher Luxon said ‘fix the basics and build the future’ in one 76-second press conference, ranked
The phrase made up nearly 10% of all the words spoken.

The National Party Caucus told Luxon he can keep his job as long as he never takes any more questions. That's why the press conference was so short. What are the debates? #nzpol

Something that truly breaks my heart, is that the thing most damaging to the National party hasnt been the homeless people that froze to death this year, the weak stance on racism or the thousands of children theyve pushed into poverty. It was Luxon insulting buisness owners.

Bishop insists that Luxon is the best person to be Prime Minister. I assume Bishop is aspiring to be leader of the opposition by the end of the year then? #nzpol

Questions for #nzpol. We have 123 MPs currently. Verian poll in June assumed 124 MPs. Curia poll this week assumes 120. If the Curia poll factored in the overhang the headlines would be different.
SO: How likely is an overhang next time? TPM, National or both? What party vote % will oust Willis?
