When Tasman flooded this year, with people trapped & millions of $ in damage, lost livehlihoods. Luxon flew to a Hawaii for holiday. He didn't tell anyone until he got back.
Now he tells NZ we don't deserve our Xmas holidays & we're not American enough. The man with NO portfolio is a tosser #nzpol

Wellington and Auckland economy still down the toilet - so real rents are heading south. Wellington rents probably at record lows in wage-adjusted terms - an economic downturn + Govt nibbling on the public sector will do that. Few other reckons... [🧵 1/n]

This is not an important poll. Nowhere near it. at One time of day, polls weren’t important, politics was. Polls were only important on the run up to a GE.

The ferry bullshit still grinds my gears. The coalition were stupid and driven by spite and just cost us money - BUT MORE IMPORTANT - every day those ferries are delayed, business and citizens pay in chocked transport.
No media had actually held their feet to the fire on this. Resignations are due.

Sometimes I see people serving food with a plastic glove on. But then they lean on counters and touch their hair and face, etc. Can’t they just have no glove on and use hand sani? Far less gross!

No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Weekly jobs data update. The grind back to standstill continues. It still looks like it will be February 2026 before we see annual job growth increase to, errrm, zero.
NB The 34 days series is more complete / stable than the 20 days series. [🧵1/n]

Happens when you have an illiterate Finance Minister that was so bent on slash and burn that she burned the Government's finances
Labour's fault. Not that National crashed the economy with austerity. It is Labour's fault. 🙄

Sure feels like crime has gone up under this National coalition. Another aggravated robbery in Chch this morning. Higher shoplifting rates. More burglaries.
