Unfortunately national will support the bill as part of the coalition agreement.

Meh⦠been hearing this for the past 18 months and they get along. Obviously more autonomy than other coalitions but they make it work.Stuff

Seymour going rogue? Both coalition partners have expressed their dismay
I do think 6 months from the election it will be all on and they will all identify issues to differentiate themselves and manufacture bust ups (WWF style).
But image Labour, Greens and MΔori Party. Dysfunction already without the added responsibility of leadership.

Luxon tells off Seymour over letter to United Nations
"I've just made it clear that I expect Winston Peters to be the person that engages with the UN," the prime minister said.
Got told off and looked like a little schoolboy when explaining himself. Will be interesting to watch, I think his ego will get the better of him
The flakey far right is what's letting us down, Pompey's fine on the left, not too woke, but rarely does anything embarrassing. Let's just get Hiku back and go back to first past the post?

What Iβve noticed is our friend @wizard of Tauranga whenever he βwhitewashesβ any βissueβ arising in the Government (post 18023 above an example) canβt help himself but reference a potential future coalition government as being worse.
I guess he has learnt from Luxon who 18 months after having control still blames the previous Govt for everything negative that occurs.

Hipkins was right when he said that Seymour and Peters would run rings around Luxon.
Coming to fruition now

sheβs a worse human than any other single person in that building,
Weird men are driving people out of politics
Their smear campaigns are ham-fisted and grotesque. Theyβre also working.thespinoff.co.nz
make no mistake about that.
ray chung is a fucking mong though.
good thing she pulled this from 2023 out now just before elections tbough.
andrew little will piss it in.
What's your assessment of Andrew, any sucking or monging in his past?

What is it about Local body elections
Wellington have done nothing but complain about her since she was elected.
Here in Tauranga it's even worse
Now we have gotten rid of the commissioners we are stuck with Mahe.
Why would everyone want him??
I can see history repeating itself

his twin sisters wife is one of those mongs that keep gluing themselves to the motorway in the name of only MT8 and co knows who, but i think heβs probably the perfect mayor for wellington.
heβs kind, heβs considered, he compassionate. heβs business minded. he seems to have a pretty good long term view of what the city needs.
hint; (itβs more than bike lanes over crumbling infrastructure and a paved wind tunnel that will do nothing but bankrupt the CBD) but as long as it has your name on it
our current mayor is the worst in memory. so anything except maybe ray chung is good, but i think in all honesty andrew little is a perfect fit.

That being the case, what's your thoughts on an opposition coalition getting into power based on their policies and rhetoric so far in 2025? Early days I know but better to get in early don't you think?
We dodged one down here in the land of the free by not voting Irish Debbie onto council in the last two elections. Is she an elected Member of parliament or another list grifter. Couldn't make the grade in an election here and they were STVWhat is it about Local body elections

And Luxon learnt from Labour
Andrew Little in 2022, 5 years after being in govt: βWe inherited a health system that had been run down and neglected for years by National. Weβre now doing the work to rebuild βit and ensure itβs fit for purpose.β
For what it worth, itβs politics 101 to blame the last lot and all sides do it.
Where did you say you are again Rick, County Cork?We dodged one down here in the land of the free by not voting Irish Debbie onto council in the last two elections. Is she an elected Member of parliament or another list grifter. Couldn't make the grade in an election here and they were STV
Funnily enough the family seat is a wee place called Portumna in Country Galway. Not sure where Irish Deb is from.
Perhaps Tirau?
Frankly @Rick OβShay iβm too old to worry about it.
If it is accepted that the current 3 headed dog is working together ok then I see no reason why a different dog canβt do so as well!
Iβm the type who accepts whatever the majority determine each three years and then watches from the sidelines while tossing a few hand grenades into forums such as this to see how the shrapnel falls.
Having said all that Iβm more inclined to the liberal side than the conservative side of the political pendulum
And Labour learnt from National andβ¦.
It may be P101 but thatβs why folk get turned off rather than engaged in democracy
Itβs time to stop
How do we stop?

Auckland council CEO salary: $648k
Tauranga council CEO salary: $606k
Luxons Salary: $471k
Is this the reason our rates are astronomical?
(Trumps salary: US$400k)

Easy mate. National is fixing health, crime, education and the economy and then no one will need to blame anyone anymore
