Proudly independent free thinker, generally dislike popular belief or convention. I simply hate anything that threatens freedom of choice and individuality.

Whether it’s going shopping or having a pint at your local, Kiwis have been frustrated every Easter Friday and Sunday with maddening red tape that dictates how you spend your long weekend.

So @Rawiri_Waititi calls @actparty racist & when questioned by @dbseymour he goes ‘can’t get into the nitty gritty, you work it out’ Throwing the racist card around is too common & dangerous in this country! Mind you that’s Rawiri & his parties answer to everything. @AMShowNZ

Worth listening to some serious commentators who know what they are talking about. Some of us were running businesses during the last period of high inflation.Understanding New Zealand’s high inflation - The New Zealand Initiative | Podcast on Spotify

Great tweet. What I would like to know is the cost per metre of press release? In May it was $35 million which is $5 million per metre of press releases. Probably much more by now.
The PM promised light rail from Auckland CBD to Mt Roskill by the end of 2021. What she delivered was 7.1m of Press Releases about light rail and 0m of actual light rail. It’s all spin and no delivery under this Govt. #LightFail

It has become clear that ‘3 waters’ is a blatantly predetermined, undemocratic, and racist asset grab by govt and iwi elite - all under the pretence of cleaning up our water. Its another in a list of major issues lacking in transparency & openness this govt purports to stand for.

Openness and transparency is what was promised. But to see that ‘three waters’ was decided on behind closed doors before consultation is deeply troubling. NZ needs to sort out water issues, but it can’t happen with deceit. Ihumatau, Pfizer, He Puapua, three waters…what’s next?

The word out of Wellington is that Nanaia Mahuta won't be introducing the Three Waters legislation this year. Has the change of National leadership caused a rethink by Labour? Let's keep piling the pressure on them #NoThreeWaters

Chris Bishop raises a point of order noting an MP was not wearing their mask. It was Jacinda Ardern, who briefly lost her mask. She quickly put on Grant Robertson's (he'd taken it off to speak).
