    I don't know about the UK, but the building codes in Australia allow structural building standards far below ours.

    If Megan Woods is their ‘go to’ minister to sort out housing, then how just bad in Phil Twyford? Would he struggle to run a bath? How do people who are literally idiots end up as government ministers?

    Cindy complains about "Vaccine Nationalism" by engaging in vaccine nationalism.

    What happened to "front of the queue? Another of Cindy and her cohort's fibs.

    How is any of that nationalism from the PM?
    I'd like to know how Bishop would get the vaccine earlier.
    There are contracts with dates, not sure what we can do if the supplier misses those dates (which hasn't happened yet) - refuse to buy or pay?
    Just look at EU v's UK to see how this sort of thing plays out.

    Ardern made a point of saying we were acting on behalf of some PI nations as well, while at the same time suggesting that other countries were getting more than their fair share.

    Bishop didn't tell us we were head of the queue.

    If there are contracts with dates that haven't been missed we clearly have been lied to. We never were at the front of the queue. Presumably the PI nations have been misled as well.

    Ardern can't blame Medsafe any longer. The toothy one has played us yet again. Honest and transparent! I wonder if we''ll ever hear that to describe Ardern. That was her own description....remember?

    Cindy’s $300k man - so kind of her to defend & keep him in his job so that taxpayers can pick up the tab further for the employment grievance case.

    The hypocrisy is overwhelming.

    Seems PM talking about ‘foundational change’ rather than the previous ‘transformational change’ strategy

    Some cynics would say if nobody knows what foundational change is, then how can they be held accountable?

    Clever move
