    I’m a bit surprised you choose to bring up Mallard the crook that has just wasted $330k and destroyed a man’s reputation. What a bloody bully and yet the “be kind” PM supports this behaviour. An utter disgrace.

    It takes 39 tax payers on the average wage a whole year of work and taxes to pay for this. A bit like Winston and his frivolous court case at the start of last term

    More revelations from Barry Soper, who is clearly disgusted by this whole business. Soper knows Mallard well, even spoke at his wedding,

    Mallard had the rules changed to ensure we picked up the tab. What an ****hole.

    This govt isn't spending enough imo. Nat-lite.

    Put the 0.5% debt interest rates we can get and dump it into the NZ super funds to counter the American bank takeover of NZ which is admittedly less bad than it would be under inter-National.

    It would appear as a capital item and not debt if I'm not mistaken. Plus with the long term investment horizon they have it's a win-win scenario.

    What a shocking read. If Labour does not support a vote of no confidence in this corrupt bully, when Parliament resumes, they will be exposed for what they really are, cynical BS artists !

    Meant to find out about Ihumātao today

    Leaving it so late in year means Govt hopes people won't notice and if they do forget all about it come the new year

    Sneaky eh

    And the House has finished. Cindy's cynicism is boundless.

    The blocks that Winston used were valid. Those Prinicples don't disappear just because he has. But that won't be an issue for the Cynical One. She'll get to go to Ratana and Waitangi without being jostled by the people she wrongly encouraged.

    If they invoke the Housing Act as mentioned in the article, with no intention of building a meaningful number of houses, it will be as dishonest as many of the historic government injustices that the Treaty Claim process is trying to rectify.

    What a mess our Bull****ter in Chief has created.

    Our country now dances to the tune of a troubled teenager.

    How could this possibly go wrong?

    Like kids in a sandpit. Our PM does n't let us down with her plain speaking and the clear goals she sets :-) :-)
    Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern responded to Thunberg’s comments by saying New Zealand had bigger goals than that one target.

    “If that was the sum ambition of any government, then that would be worthy of criticism; it is not our sum ambition and it is not the totality of our plans on climate change,” she said.

    “But again, I think that it is actually for us just to get on with the business of fulfilling our obligations and expectations.”

    “Reports that the Cabinet will today rubber stamp the Government buying Fletcher Building out of Ihumatao is a terrible step toward formalising Jacinda Ardern’s worst decision as Prime Minister,” says ACT Leader David Seymour.

    “If you own land and someone squats on it, the Prime Minister won’t defend your property rights, she’ll use taxpayers’ money to buy the land off you.

    “What a terrible signal this sends agitators who decide to disregard the legally binding treaty settlement process.

    “The Prime Minister’s job is to uphold the law, and none more so than private property rights.

    “Instead she has thumbed her nose at the very legal framework that was designed with Maori and has worked so effectively to right past wrongs.

    “By doing what she considered to be the popular thing rather than the right thing, Jacinda Ardern has not only legitimised an illegal protest, she has sent a message that her Government is vulnerable to further illegal actions.

    I didn't see any dancing.
    Someone has a comment - someone else is asked about and they give a comment.
    I doubt Jacinda is sweating on what Greta thinks or tweets.
