National imploding is very fun to watch.

China lodges 'serious protest' over NZ Air Force's conduct near its air space; NZDF denies disruption

China claims an anti-submarine patrol aircraft undermined its security interests, which the Defence Force denies.

Messy old world with our main trading partner calling out NZ defence force. NZ government seems happy to fall in line behind America

Interesting , NZ reporting is a little more revealing than the Aus media.

RNZ is one of our better platforms I think

We get "China fires flares at Air Force jet" and you have to dig into it to find out it is a surveillance aircraft flying along Chinas disputed border along the yellow sea.

And while yes there are UN sanctions on North Korea, Aus and NZ certainly have not been tasked by the UN to conduct military action there.

China obviously not viewing it fondly in any sense

It's related to the decision, a very poor one from a poor government to cosy up to the US

And here was I thinking we were cosier with China seeing they are our biggest trading partner

How could we live on our wages if we didn't have cheap products from China

Interesting talks go on after Luxon and Willis exit the meeting. She could be in trouble too?

Yup, Temu has sure made a difference to retailing in NZ

Interesting seeing Luxon and Shane Jones in a spat over Shane Jones butter chicken tsunami remark regarding an Indian free trade deal. I wonder if labour’s opposition to the current standing of the deal puts labour and NZ first in territory where they see eye to eye? Winston’s always been big on the topic of immigration

Nah, more likely there was a bunch of finger pointing going on with a lot of "you take it then"

No one wants the job and there's no Jacinda in the wings so status quo

Would be surprised if Bishop isn’t seeking it as much as he denies it. Running the country as a ceo is a failed experiment

 

[defensivebomb]

We can't have a Wellington PM. Aucklander or heartland PM are the only options. Some gimp / career politician in Wellington will not do a good job

Would be the kiss of death for Bishop imo. Think he knows that and is biding his time (after the election)

To come out now or in a few weeks time after all the denials and mea culpas would cut his credibility to shreds with the National electorate plus probably a good portion of the caucus

Credibility and politician aren’t two words that are usually in a sentence unless you’re telling a joke

National has no credibility

Great news that luxon has been retained

With 16% preferred pm in polls, national has faith in him than the country seems to
