Interesting to see one instance where the govt felt impelled to intervene being treated as remarkable, whereas under New Zealand Labour's 3Waters/Affordable Water would have done this for the WHOLE MOTU, without needing any fanfare.

Israeli police have entered Al Jazeera's office in Jerusalem in order to forcibly close it.

Al Jazeera provides us with important views and perspectives. A healthy democracy needs this. It's the foundation of justice.

Christopher Luxon Your statement is a demonstrable lie, as there is plenty of publicly available evidence to prove that the proposed 25.8% increase was due solely to your cancellation of the 3-Waters reforms, not 3-Waters itself.

Why is your default response to anything to spread disinformation?

Christopher Luxon Let’s be very clear here, Auckland was only facing a 25% increase because YOU repealed 3 waters!!! Auckland is now paying 7% more……..
Labours 3 waters meant an increase of 2%.
What’s your plan for the rest of the motu??🤔

Simeon Brown Christopher Bishop More disinformation, as the financial records very clearly show that the majority of that money went on capital works on water infrastructure.
That proposed 26% increase is on public record as being a consequence of your cancellation of the 3-Waters reforms without a replacement.

People are coming to sense Conservatism is dead. Now in the Tory fire sale we should not be importing these failed Tory experiments through Luxon and his #disunionofdespair

Netanyahu's government doesn't want to stop Israeli war crimes in Gaza, so it tries to stop reporting on them, closing Al Jazeera's office. apnews.com/article/israel…

Human cost of austerity, low wages/benefits, lack of good food/housing and public services.

Infant mortality rate in the UK is nearly 4 deaths per 1,000 live births.
1.7 in Japan.
1.8 in Finland, Slovenia and Sweden.

Why won't govts tackle poverty?

Good read Here's why rising child poverty is a political choice - “A nation’s wealth and greatness is not measured by the number of billionaires but by how well it take CARE of its children and weakest members” How you stacking up Luxon? #nzpol #nzpol itics leftfootforward.org/2024/05/heres-…

Ko Ess Ahau ❤️💚 😷🫸🏼🦠 this is far from local water done well and has the potential to lead to privatization which is what this Coalition wants, ratepayers will not be better off

Christopher Luxon This is highly misleading;

The 25.8% wasn't what Labour's proposal was going to do; it was what Auckland needed to do when you yanked away a workable plan.

Now you have deferred debt and when it fails like you plan it will, it gets privatised.

You just sold Auckland water off.

National’s law and order policy: “Just cut it out.”

Govt says AK will avoid major water rates hike after deal made with council | Only reason for obscene rates rise due to Luxon repealing 3Waters! Anti-3waters Councils are calling rise “infrastructure”as Govt dumps water back on councils. #nzpol #nzpol itics newshub.co.nz/home/politics/…

Christopher Luxon This is how terrible you are at business. You pulled 4 waters & it was going to cost Aucklanders 25.8% more as a result.
Had 3 waters remained they would not have faced this sort of increase.
In fact because of you Aucklanders are still paying more than 3 waters
#WorstPMever

Christopher Luxon But Aucklanders will pay a 7% increase in water charges as opposed to 2% under Labours affordable water care policy (3 waters). So effectively you’ve just increased the cost of living AGAIN.
