So we've had an explanation for how the McSkimming's emails did not reach the police minister Mark Mitchell, but how was it that the McSkimming's emails did not reach Christopher Luxon, allegedly prime minster? Oh I l see, it's "nothing and that's normal" #NZPol

NIH scientist Dr. Jenna Norton was just placed on nondisciplinary leave.
She led a team who wrote a sign-on letter critical of The Regime.
A person at NIH asked to give a reason for her leave called her “radical leftist”; while the NIH Director has claimed that “dissent is productive”.

The Greens will repeal the Regulatory Standards Bill.
But ACT won't give up.
They will spend millions into fooling voters that free market capitalism is the only future left for New Zealand.
However, you can help stop ACT from getting even more power.

Luxon thinks we need a "mature conversation" about selling state assets... But I don't think he really means that, because a mature conversation would look at the history of failure and the shortsighted focus on profit ahead of public interest.
He wants a conversation where we agree with him.
