Is Chris Hipkins turning NZ Labour into NZ National-light? Don't see much vigorous opposition to so many of this government's stupid & in some cases, outright dangerous policies in health, education, environment, climate, etc, etc.

The NZ Herald is not biased at all! Here's an example:
1. Adam Pearse (Herald): NZ First’s Shane Jones takes aim at coalition Govt’s ‘managerialism’ (PAYWALLED)
2. Adam Pearse (Herald): Former Labour Minister Stuart Nash makes his pitch to become NZ First MP

1 paywalled, 2 NOT!

Another International company opening Luxon implying had something to do with his government's fast-track legislation, EXCEPT Ikea decided to come to NZ in 2019 during Ardern's term & has nothing to do with current govt. The man has no shame.

Can the media provide some balance to any bank’s skewed reckons on the economy. They’re in it for their profits and aren’t neutral. We’re all part of the economy. Let’s hear from the NZCTU, Bernard Hickey and/or Auckland City Mission for some much needed balance on who exactly is feeling confident.

Is there nothing sacred or safe under the scummy Trump administration? The entire current Republican 'Clown House', like their super-clown leader, are drowning in corruption. The biggest f*****g joke of a "democracy" the USA is turning into.

The farmers will understand this - you reap what you sow. You lot voted the climate vandals into power to repeal all climate change mitigation measures. You didn't like any controls or rules. Well, you got your record profits, so eat your profits & stop complaining about the weather. #nzpol

Every time Luxon attends an overseas event he declares it "historic"! China visit historic, NATO historic - except no other leader of Pacific-rim 'Partners' turned up. HISTORIC!
And whose face is plastered on major media all over the world? It's Jacinda Ardern!! Oh dear!
