Old. lost, confused. Here for the cat pictures
This is PM who spent most of his life outside of NZ, and thinks hardship is a high rates bill on his holiday home. The the housing woes of everyday kiwis are completely outside his experience and imagination

At least Minister Watts can claim confusion, as opposed to our PM which claimed "good for NZ" when he reduced the value of Kiwisaver, and when he suggested he would increase it

Bishop and Willis might be popular within the party faithful, but outside of that world, there seems very little trust for Minister Bishop, and Minister Willis seems to be polarising for a lot of people, including National voters.

They might replace PM Luxon, but it would not help the election

"The Government is making progress on transitioning New Zealand’s 3.6 million light petrol vehicles to road user charges (RUC), today launching a Request for Information (RFI) on paying for RUC electronically"

They are at RFI Stage - they don't know what they are doing yet...

The Coalition Govt learnt nothing from their campaign promises to overrule Pharamac decisions, and all the issues that produced

This is exactly what gets me.

Only 12 months ago, Minister Brown was telling us about potholes and speed limits (and ignoring the evidence and his advisors)

This week, he is telling us some drugs are safe (they are still available), but not the way he wants some patients treated

Imagine if ex-Minister Mahuta had done something like this - and think who would be the first to call for accountability...

This is all after the Govt has paused the massive in flight building program that KO had been running.

Minister Bishop showing he disagrees with his own Govts decision by taking money from social housing to meet his campaign promises in his local electorate

And PM Luxon caves in again
