What is more critical to New Zealand - conjecture in the right wing media as a distraction for the disaster of this government or the looming massive economic crisis driven by the war in Iran?

Very good article by Derek Cheng in yesterdays Herald. Paywalled though.
About credibility now and his stakes are pretty low. Not sure how he can squeeze out of this with some weasel words when his finger prints are all over the documents he purports not to have seen.
Facts this time are pretty damning, even for old mate.
Keep deflecting righties - we're in deep shit with our current government.
Just in case you missed it:
Yes we are but you seem to be deflecting away from the current issue with Chris Hipkins credibility. He is the leader of the opposition and it is an election year.
He’s anything but the knock-about kiwi bloke the media attempt to portray. I reckon he’s gone.
The two topics are unrelated. Nothing about deflection, both key discussion points.
Doesn't seem to have affected his and the party polling though does it.
Must be a lot of sausage roll lovers out there
To be fair, there is something wrong with you if you don't like a good sausage roll.
This is quite sobering

More a Blue Cheese and Beef Pie personally.
Over a sausage roll and the Red tomato sauce?
And yet Rick has confirmed the deflection tactics. Good stuff.
I was referring to your deflection
Brisket, jalapeño & cheese pie is my current go to

Hipkins mandated 12-18 year olds to get 2 shots in some cases and says he never got the risk advice and blames the health professionals for doing what he mandated. The master of deflection!
Damning - caught out:
The Herald finds a Cabinet paper, in Hipkins’ name, that shows him sharing the CV TAG December advice with Cabinet colleagues in March 2022, which led to the education mandate and vaccine passes ending.
Any other MP misleading an enquiry and when caught, blaming health professionals (when he had mandated the vaccines), would be gone!
Hipkins has no integrity.
Cabinet paper shows Hipkins received ‘unnecessary risk’ advice about Covid jab for teens
When Hipkins had the advice, about 30,000 12-17s were yet to have a second vaccine.

Labour leader says he never shared medical info during the pandemic beyond the high-level.
Why does he need to call them Bozos? Is the name calling thing a left right of passage ?

Our issue is we need a massive increased supply of renewable energy. Independent of fuel, we’ve had critical power shortages every winter. We need power to convert our vehicle fleet.
We need more generation and the greens and Labour had 6 years to get a whole lot of projects underway but instead actively opposing renewable projects (eg Hurunui water scheme) and now throw stones.
No idea, nothing to add and no integrity.
Winter? Low sunshine hours and low wind? And you think more turbines and panels will solve that?
Yeah since the age of 10

No, geothermal and hydro. We’re world leaders in those 2 types of generation.
Wind and solar are fringe at best.
