Luxon does it again.
Does he even know where South Auckland is?
Seems he confuses Botany the suburb with his electorate Botany.
Shows out of touch he really is.

Bloody hell, Luxon's prepared speech is ok in parts but in Q&A defaults to rubbishing New Zealand to British Right wing Conservative think tank Policy Exchange, like he thinks he's campaigning to a group of elderly National party voters in Orewa or Tauranga.
He's talking in England not to NZ voters!
How could he say NZ' lockdown was purely for political purposes (was to save lives while the world was still developing vaccines) or 40% of NZ children don't attend school!

What politician trashes their own country overseas, its unheard of, he should be promoting NZ not criticising it & saying how wonderful a bunch of other countries are.

More like america. He seems to think it is a model on a range of issues (incl abortion).

While Adern is overseas generating massive amounts of goodwill towards NZ & promoting tourism, investment & skilled immigration, Luxon is overseas stupidly undoing all her good work, trashing NZ to a UK audience, talking about crime, gang numbers, school truancy etc while saying how wonderful other countries like SingaporeDenmark etc are!
After listening to his speech & Q&A why would any tourist, skilled worker or investor want to come to or invest in NZ.

What an idiot.
No politician damages their own country overseas (apart from Trump) Its the job of a political leader to promote their country overseas, not trash it.

Elderly homeless woman died in car alone. Thanks to Ardern & her housing policies.

Remember how people sleeping in cars was such a shock to NZers during Key’s tenure as PM?

Well, Ardern as usual has turned the housing disaster into something beyond shock.

A homeless elderly woman died alone and uncared for in her car after living in the car for months :

Meanwhile, the state housing waiting list is 20,000 more than when Ardern took office. Takes some kind of incompetent & clueless BS artist to achieve that!

Here's the real reason why Ardern, the spin mistress, is overseas :

I'm sure she would have been pleased by the National party prescription of "stop the RMA", then bring in 100k more workers per year.

Here's the real reason why Ardern, the spin mistress, is overseas :

The spin mistress Ardern being asked (and ducking for cover) as to why she is now so unpopular at home.

Her reply shows the depth of hypocrisy she has sunk down to :

“My total focus is at home. That’s what matters to me,” she said.

So why then did she avoid Auckland during the August delta lockdown?

And kept quiet about the cost of living crisis until she was forced to admit the problem?

And why did the homeless elderly woman died in her car alone when Ardern says she is all about kindness & transparency?

[Panda-NZ-]

Balance politicising a death.

Just another day on sharetrader politics section.

And while Ardern is busy burnishing her image & credentials for the life-after-PM UN job, not a word from her or the Little one on the hospital crisis :

‘Southern hospitals were in desperate straits last night, as staff from all disciplines were reassigned from their usual duties to treat sick patients.

Dunedin Hospital was over capacity and its intensive care and Covid-19 wards were at capacity, while several rural hospitals were battling to find staff to fill medical and nursing rosters.’
