So Councils are voted in to make decisions. They make a decision on Maori Wards and throughout the country seems pretty much unanimous to keep them but the Government has a second chance to be rid of them with costly referendum. They are hell bent on crushing Maori voice.

I was with Labour for 3 campaigns derailed by vague tax speculation. My suggestions: -announce a complete policy. vagueness creates the sum of all fears problem -Justify it. Talk about what you want to fund first. Tax is merely a means -make it very clear who the tax applied to

Just when I thought Nicole McKee could not be a more corrupt biased Minister or a more inhumane person, I watched 1News tonight. Jesus wept.

The arrogance of McKee, passing changes to rules for gun clubs by "Order in Council" - not even announcing it, let alone putting it to Committee! No consultation with anyone but gun lobby. Attended their conference: "Like coming home!" Dangerous ideologue! 1news.co.nz/2024/09/08/off…

Dear Wellington City Council & other local councils around the motu, Please, for the love of Aotearoa & local democracy, REFUSE THE REFERENDUM on Māori Wards. Make a stand for national unity over NZ National Party division & make it now! #nzpol

No disrespect, but as we've told you many times before, we will not be taking advice from scientists, especially when their findings are contrary to the excuses we used to give tobacco companies $216 million. #LyinLuxon #CoalitionOfCorruption

The irony of the PM insisting that he has to go ahead with the pointless Treaty Principles Bill because "we have to honour our coalition commitments", when the Bill only exists to try weasel out of honouring a commitment.

Voters didn't ask for the Treaty Principles Bill. "But it was part of the coalition agreement so he had to support the bill up to its first reading." What Mr Very Important CEO is telling us is that he's a shit negotiator, eh. #NationalNotFitToGovern rnz.co.nz/news/political…

1News Seems weird that the PM hadn't studied the draft of this contentious Bill rather thoroughly in preparation for the Cabinet Meeting. Does he do anything at all??
