Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

This is obvious to anyone who observed their reaction to anything that contributed ANY hardship to one of their wealthy constituents.
Can we just once and for all say that if National had been the government (with NZ1st and ACT albeit smol versions) they would not have done exactly the same with Covid
They would have said "we can't lock down because the economy" then Covid-19 would have been everywhere before we had the vaccine

The “master negotiator” couldn’t even line up his own ducks in a row, so it now suits him to be bipartisan - but wouldn’t uphold his end of bipartisanship when it came to housing or climate change. Useless is the only adequate descriptor for Luxon.
This is odd framing.
Luxon's the one in trouble here, for making a deal so shonky it's straining coalition unity.
His negotiation skills and his leadership nous are in question.
Labour and the Greens are in a position to make political hay - to point out Luxon's flaws and make demands

Labour, Greens in the hot seat over India free trade agreement
Analysis - Winston Peters' opposition to the India free trade deal has turned what could have been a huge win for the prime minister into a complex political scrap.

Read about this last night (complete with the detail of his own-head-like finger tracing the carefully scripted line as he read it out), and thought it might be a new low for Luxo, and perhaps the most blatantly racist statement from a PM since Muldoon.
