  1. National's budget will announce more cuts to the civil service, as if all departments haven't been pared to the bone already.

    Chris Hipkins was just quoted on Morning Report as saying Labour could work with National on that, because AI can replace people.

    Following last week's offer to work with National on infrastructure, the subservient leader of the opposition seems intent on cosying up with the devil and in the process, moving Labour to the right. And he's swallowed the AI-infused coolaid.

    I'm old enough to remember when Labour would have unreservedly stood up for people and jobs, simply because it was the morally correct thing to do.

  3. CW: Oil crisis - NZ Labour finds its voice

    Chris Hipkins pops up after a long absence and claims National are not prepared for the incoming oil shock.

    Given the IMF's warning that the fuel crisis is likely to lead to a global recession, Hipkins seems close to the mark.

    Luxon responded, that was why the government was "focused on avoiding the mistakes seen during the Covid response."

    Pardon? Is this somehow Labour's fault?

    It seems bizarre that Luxon isn't considering options like carless days and working from home, as many other countries are already doing. Especially when NZ is right at the far end of the supply chain.

    ---

    Please... take a moment to appreciate this classic gobbledygook from Luxon as he tries to think on his feet.

    "What I agree with is we want this resolved as quickly as possible. We want the parties negotiating, I know ceasefire negotiations, you know, we want ceasefire will remain holding, we want the parties negotiating a negotiated settlement."

    It's embarrassing that this inadequate man leads our country.

  8. I don't understand why Labour is sticking with NZ's least effective political leader. When he does hit the headlines it's in the Woman's Weekly instead of serious media. We hear plenty about him leaving his wife and kids and marrying his floozie and the subsequent fallout from that mess.

    But no policy. No passion. No soul.

    Chippy lost the last election and he can easily do it again.

  14. It seems #Luxon is becoming more and more desperate to distract #NZMedia and the #NZPol public away from his own government's catastrophic failures and somehow try to blame their ineptitude on Labour. Luxon is so bad at this it's like he's morphing into NZ's very own Temu Trump,

    Why would f**kin #Hipkins be releasing Labour's election policies 16 months away from the next election Mr #Luxon?

  16. CW: NZPol - view from the left

    Hipkins' "State of the Nation" speech was disappointing on so many levels. This was his chance to shine, but instead we got no wealth tax, no CGT and a vague promise that he wouldn't roll back most of National's worst legislation.

    Hiding in a cupboard for over a year has paid off for Hipkins and he's leading the preferred PM stakes by default. Yet the best he can offer is 'Labour will be the same, but different'?

    What does Hipkins even stand for?

    "What the hell, Chippy? Do you want to win the next election or not? Enough with the introspective fretting for you and your party, it’s time to step up or step aside. The people who don’t like this Government deserve better. The people who do like it deserve, for a well-functioning democracy, a strong Opposition."

    I think #Hipkins’ observation that #Luxon is always having to put people, businesses and the country down to make himself look good was 💯🎯

    I am very doubtful Luxon has the intellect to appreciate the level of mediocrity he represents.

    #LabourParty Leader Chris #Hipkins calls the Parties on the right a "coalition of fear" once

    Luxons response?

    The man with a "a positive plan to take New Zealanders forward." just doesn't seem to listen to things that Luxon says

    This in the same week that Acts David #Seymour corrects a member of the #Mandela family about Nelson Mandelas' beliefs

    We need better politicians than this

  28. @NZedAUS I managed to hear the last few minutes of ZB's political panel show while driving yesterday afternoon. I have no idea what had been discussed earlier but to close the show the presenter read out a text from a male dairy farmer who texted that he had voted ACT last election and unlikely to vote #Labour but would far prefer #Hipkins as NZ Prime Minister than Chris #Luxon after the 2023 election. #NZPol
