About our dear frowny face Cindy... .saw this nice little gem.

When she gets the tough questions she invariably frowns, presumably so that we can read between the lines on her forehead.

Watch her frown on this one when she is questioned on it then - 2 months after promising pay cuts for herself & ministers, to show solidarity & compassion with those experiencing income drops, she & her incompetents are still receiving full pay.

Only a career politician/bureaucrat like Fran Wilde could make it sound that complicated.

Cindy who? You probably grimace too when you are faced with the odd sticky question...

Please give us your defence for promoting Phil Twyford JT. Bathe us in his achievements.

Please....can a Labourite come up with something that justifies promoting Phil Twyford....or are you all as gobsmacked as the rest of us?

Everything this guy touches turns to custard, yet somehow he is worthy of promotion from 5 to 4 on the list. Apparently the 4th most important and presumably capable person Cindy has got.

Has he got dirt on someone? What strings has he pulled? Or is the Labour talent pool genuinely this shallow?

Why is paul goldsmith there? The top 8 on the nat list are pretty bland.

Imagine being someone competent like Chris Faafoi and being ranked behind Twyford , he must be sitting there thinking wtf ....

Speaking of bland - its starts with new leader Todd Muller, about as bland as can be.

Finally a good news story for the COL Government on a task actually completed, which is unusual for them. They completed a small kids playground at Parliament in 2019, consisting of one slide, 6 small planks and 16 stumps to walk on. They budgeted $ 400,000 (yes FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) but today the final numbers were confirmed. The numbers showed the slide cost $ 243,000 and consultants were paid $ 180,000 with a total cost for the project of $ 572,000.
Well done Trevor Mallard & co. Being the biggest kid in Parliament he should get a lot of enjoyment from the playground.

I mean WTF putting a playground inside parliament grounds, has woke no conscience?

Sounds like a good way to stimulate the economy and construction in particular. We can all find fault with minor projects and they aren't really an issue at all. It shows the govt is doing quite well if some people can find time to complain about trivial things.
