i’d be surprised if he’s had direct contact with the prime minister.

and if he had, i know he looks like a potato but could big LUXXX be so stupid as to say he hadn’t if there was a paper trail to say otherwise?

who fucking knows.
but i guess we’ll see, sooner or later.

No he never mentioned he’d spoken to him directly but certainly spoken to those in the necessary channels. Don’t think it’s any surprise to anyone that they are under resourced and quite fascinating that this has never been 100% funded through our taxes. Often you’ll see a plaque on an ambulance saying it’s donated by so and so. Seems that it’s only when there’s a spotlight directly shone on whichever broken election promise, the level of outrage is what forces governments hand, such as the delivery of cancer treatments they promised in the election and had to act upon. Though not supplying all they said they were going also

Who are the shepherds in this proverb, the neoliberal elites? Or someone worse.

Luxon in a bit of a bind. On one hand there will be act supporters echoing Seymour’s statement, even potentially national supporters who support this bill. On the other hand if he lets Seymour dictate the terms, he continues to look like national as a major party are letting the minor parties have too much sway and disproportionate to the votes cast to what parties

National has consistently said they won’t support it past the first stage. ACT has always know this.

ACT is just pandering to their base.

I don’t know why the opposition is giving it air… except for them pandering to their base as well…

All political theatre isn’t it?

It's stoking more division though, Lux said it was too divisive to consider last year... unless he and Winnie are planning some kind of sneaky backflip on the bill... wouldn't surprise me, just confirms they all work for Atlas.

Can’t understand why it is even getting that far.

Surely when $$ are trying to be saved all over the place why waste money on something that isn’t going anywhere

Little David's ego perhaps,?
All because Potato wanted to be PM.
Or both

Means nothing. National scrapped the smoke free bill without even mentioning they were considering it before the election. Have a strong feeling this will go ahead, even beyond the first stage. Seymour won’t let it lie. Luxon is still very naive in regards to politics

That would be disastrous imo, and cause some serious civil unrest.

100% Corruption. The right bought and sold for by the rich and powerful.

Speaking of corruption, here's the Firearms minister bought and paid for by the gun lobby. Utterly, utterly corrupt.

If the greens, TPM, or Labour did anything 1/16th as bad the howls from certain people would be deafening. They should be now too.

Firearms Minister grilled on Govt's reforms and her record

Nicole McKee spoke to Q+A about the Government's firearms reforms and her professional record as a former gun lobbyist.

This is much worse than Metiria Turei's that left people hysterical - but not one peep.

100% Corruption.

Corruption is when the māori Party dictate and strong arm the NZ Herald into which ads they show.

Manipulation and control of the media, like all good corrupt 3rd world dictators do.

If you believe in an independent media you can’t condone the māori Party’s interference, no matter what the issues is. Corrupt

Did you end up getting a ban on the thread… or did it take a week or so to come up with your next juicy morsel of anti centre-right material?
