The Coalition Govt will tax Aucklanders $5 billion to pay for the infrastructure to support the fast track housing developments for National Party donors. We pay so National's donors can get richer. Then we'll pay again to bail them out when they flood.

I got really frustrated looking at the rankings of mps labour released in comparison to the work I watch on parliament tv. Camila Belich, in particular, does great work, speaks well, and has been working on the modern slavery bill, yet she's so low, and her electorate is Epsom. It's concerning.

She did not respond.

Instead, she put a video on Facebook describing me as the "lady" who did the Fire and Fury documentary and that I am "probably not the person" she wanted interviewing her about abortion.

Last year, I warned Kiwis are dying in hospital corridors. Sean Plunket said it wasn't true. Today, news that 2 patients in 2 months died in ED toilets and doctors & nurses continue to tell of alarming deterioration of public health.
