Yep, wouldn't trust any of their assurances *at all*.
This is the same lot that made *election* promises about Dunedin hospital... oh wait, until they broke them. That their tax cuts were 'definitely costed'... oh wait, until forced to admit they weren't.
On and on their gaslighting goes.

I keep thinking about how Peters said the hīkoi was a waste of time because the bill isn't going to pass. But (a) I don't trust any of these arseholes to do what they say they will, and (b) if there was no pushback I'm sure Luxon et al would happily vote it through into law. #ToituTeTiriti #NZpol
Never trust a Tory or a Neoliberal
What we know about the coalition:
They will carry out their policies and the coalition agreement.
Everything else they say is lies.
Easy way to analyse any of their comments, media releases etc

Last night our venue for an upcoming event cancelled on us because the rain damaged their building. Getting ANY venue in Los Angeles has been really hard, so getting a replacement feels daunting. It's ok, we will sort something out, but oh my god. Really good way to start the year.

#NZpol This seems to be going around again (the article is from 11 months ago).
If NZ is “somewhere they don't want to be”, then it’s hard to argue they should have _citizenship_, as that defines they have no interest in it.
They could invest without the citizenship, surely?

Investor would only have to remain in New Zealand for 21 days under changes to so-called 'golden visa'
Forcing investors to "be somewhere they don't want to be" is a barrier to attracting people, the Immigration Minister says.

While I am still quite keen on "too modern and hippie for my taste", "I didn't buy this book to read about a cat who uses profanities" and "not at all humerus", I think this might be my new favourite review I've ever had for one of my books.
