    Default Nat/act/nzf 2023

    Time to start a new thread and hopefully a new brighter chapter in NZ. Start with a list of Ministers. I wish them all luck and good fortune.

    All looks pretty good to me, Even Winston will probably behave himself this term. He'll want to go out on a good note........

    What a shambles, didnt look anything like the promised strong stable united coalition.
    Luxon lost control of his Deputy's, lost control of the room.
    Seymour ran rings around Luxon, completely dominated the introductions hugely irritating Winston & leaving Luxon looking awkward.
    Winston alternating between lashing out at the media & Labour govt, and looking bored & not wanting to be there.
    Animosity between Winston & Seymour visible for all to see simmering just below the surface.

    And the split Deputy role, I just knew Luxon would surrender to this even though in practical terms its such an impractical idea, I thought surely he couldn't, also it makes him look indecisive.
    There's a whole apparatus around Deputy Leader, its not just a matter of swapping Seymour for Winston.

    Also Brooke Van Veldon, a 1st Term MP, who looks barely out of university, no life experience, never married, no partner, no children, now Minister of Internal Affairs !
    That's a huge Ministry covering a diverse range from ICT to Gambling & Citizenship to The National Library & Archives, supporting Local Govt, censorship etc.
    There's some very senior, very experienced (& muscular) managers in many of these organisations, now reporting to her. Wow. She had better do a crash course in Te Reo & Te ao Māori fast.

    And Judith Collins now Attorney General, just shows how bare the cupboard is.

    So much to unpack.

    Quite a bit there for aged care in the NZF/Nat agreement.. JAK should have voted for winnie.

    Though it could be working groups 2.0 if nothing gets done, at least its being talked about.

    The winston effect - Super stays at 65.
