Donating money you shouldn't have received in the first place to charity is such a con - you get 1/3 of it back on your taxes.
Just give it back and suggest the Council gives it to charity - or paints a rainbow crossings.
Did Luxon called him in for a 'please explain'

Newshub report...57,00 to upgrade PM's office..ffs. 'Premier house not good enough for him, PM's office not good enough for him' says Chippy. Country is not good enough for him and we all know this, he has said as much. 7 Houses has an elevated sense of entitlement.

Susanswords So this free trade agreement was actually sorted by the Labour Govt, and the Lying Luxon is trying to take the credit for it??? So typical of the lying Nats.

Maiki Sherman I stand with Julie...that florist was a hothead and that furniture/ homewares lady who is about to shut shop just wanted to put the boot in. She has apologised and recognises the err of her ways and I commend her.

Craig I’ve yet to see a politician in New Zealand as articulate, intelligent and competent as Jacinda. Chloe is close though.

Make Aotearoa New Zealand safer for everyone, especially women, by urgently adding stalking to the 1961 Crimes Act. our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/prot… via ActionStation

Craig This prick is on my last nerve. I was at the laughing at everything he says stage a week ago, but now I’m officially at the poke him in the fucking eyeballs & shove a sock in his mouth stage 😂🤦‍♀️

Suzanne Pierce So he has no portfolios and isn't expected to know any details of any. Wow. What a job.

They were quite clear, it was to prevent political disadvatage - also to name him would made 'finding employment' difficult- nothing to do with the victims. But why hasn't that case moved forward and what about the RoastBusters? That court date was set and postponed 2X

Gerard Otto Facebook: Luxon and Mitchell what a shite show eitr545824759.wordpress.com/2024/05/07/ger…

So the election was 8 months ago and the former political figure accused of three charges of alleged indecencies with an underaged person is still unnamed - and the case is still unresolved. Or have I missed something?

Can’t give the cops a pay increase or find 200 new police officers but can spend $ 1.9 billion on prisons ?
Cart before the horse . You can’t lock people up if the cops haven’t caught them.
Another steaming pile of coalitions crap

Why isn't money being poured into keeping our police in NZ, and make joining the police a good job prospect. Instead, we have money being poured into the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. Surely more police will make people safer.

Pres of Corrections Assoc has not been briefed on the government’s weird 1.9 billion plan. Says it’s all well and good employing staff to work at Waikeria Prison but there’s nowhere for them to live .

Oh, how embrrassing! Poor Mark Mitchell obviously forgot about his promise whilst a cocky Opposition MP. Too funny.

NZ National Party STOP THE LIES ✋🛑
The 26% water rate hike is because you repealed 3 waters!!!
Under labour the rate hike was 2%.
Your plan is giving Aucklanders a 7% hike!
The devil is in the detail with your plan.
What about the rest of the motu????
That poll really rattled you lot huh 😂😂

$1.9b Corrections reveal:

Possibly the wobbliest press conference and funding announcement so far in this Government’s term.
Numbers not clear, not quite as big or new as promoted and minister struggling a bit on the detail.
PM seems a little irritated at questioning.

Tim Murphy PM seems a little irritated at questioning?
It's only Monday - increasingly the PM seems a little irritated at questions, any questions, & that people are going to ask them & expect answers

I've heard the case isn't to be tried until August? That's a full 11 months since the election. Seems the affected party & its former president are being unduly protected? Can't help wondering just how far these accommodations might reach? Is our judicial system truly safe now?
