I’m annoyed at the pm’s botched promo stunt in the snow, but I am more concerned about the hosting & welcome of the Aussie pm on a $B’s property. I’m sure it made for a secure & scenic local, but speaks volumes to the casual influence of wealth in politics. #nzpol

Act calls for NZ to leave Paris climate agreement without ‘realistic targets’
The trouble with doing less than is required, is that you never achieve your goals. It’s a bit like serving school lunches that are unpalatable. You save money, but they go in the bin. #nzpol
