    The shambolic disaster which is Kiwibuild is but a foretaste of what Comrade Cindy is about - big promises with zero chance of delivery.
    National doesn't stand a chance.
    Maybe they can get their act together in time for 2023.

    Muller looked dammed uncomforable last week with the whole Walker/Boag/Woodhouse episode and obviously got caught out telling a wee fib - IMO. Probably jumped before blew up further......

    Yes. Labour / Greens will win by default; hopefully without Winston and his mob.
    And when all said and done that won't be too bad - given their inability to get anything done.

    Better he accepts reality than drag the pain on for everyone.

    Trouble with Muller was that he couldn't answer a question with a frown,swish his hair and point to another sycophant sitting in the gallery.
    Maybe he had to much integrity.

    Going on the media to tell untruths all the time, affecting some people's mental health and the prospects for our economic recovery, for a political reason... does not strike me as integrity imo.

    He is no politician. And that is a compliment indeed!

    He was part of a team under Theo which trashed fonterra so it would be best for him to retire rather than shuffle sideways to a board somewhere.

    Agree that ACT will gain from this debacle. Not so sure though, whether this is a good thing for NZ. While I used to support them in the past - I find it really difficult to support them now since they work hard to turn their party into the NZ wing of the NRA.

    While I see that there are people who feel that their right to wear semiautomatic weapons is more important than a working democracy, a good health system, tackling climate change, addressing child poverty, improving state education or repairing our justice system (to name just some of the problems we are facing) ... do I fail to understand how anybody can focus in this day and age on the firearm laws (and they clearly don't wont to make the more stringent).

    Anyway - ACT lost me ... but I am sure that the bunch of trigger happy gun owners they are now courting will make up for this loss. Pity - no liberal party left in NZ.
