@Mokey I know she aint gonna say so, but I wonder if this is a sign of Simon Bridges inability to gain traction in the right places (have to assume he still has support, but maybe it is from all the liteweights in NAtional?) add in now taking the Infrastructure Portfolio off Judith...

@taniwharugby And giving the shadow finance portfolio to Paul Goldsmith, list MP somewhere in the 30s.

I mean, other than the fact he was 7th on the National list prior to this reshuffle (taking out Coleman and Ross) - http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/1803/National_Caucus_Spokespeople_List.pdf
He was 14th when National went into Opposition - http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA1711/S00010/national-unveils-strong-opposition-team.htm
And he was 18th on the list in 2017 and was a Minister of the Crown - https://www.national.org.nz/national_releases_2017_party_list
But yeah, sure list MP somewhere in the 30s is close enough . . .

@taniwharugby Bridges is still leader because the only current alternative is Crusher and her own caucus find that too large a rat to swallow

doesnt address the information from the other week...so if this was a SAS lead mission, why were we waiting on US intel, surely if SAS lead, the US would have provided it shortly after the raid to the NZDF, or am I being a bit naive?
Another clip from earlier showed two men were visibly carrying weapons - a rifle and a rocket propelled grenade launcher - when emerging from a building that is said to have included a woman
The building was the home of an insurgent being targeted by the NZDF which claimed it was a weapons cache, Hager said.
Hager asserted the presence of a woman seen leaving the building showed it was a home to unarmed civilians.

To put this into perspective 10 years ago we were in the worst financial crisis since the great depression. Manufacturing isn't looking great either.
It almost as if the coalition don't have a fucking clue what they are doing or something? -
From the government who doesn't do deals with movie studios

Extending ACC to mental health is weird.Agreed but the example of the plumber in the article suggests they do cover mental health in some circumstances and not others

I think you misunderstood, the plumber wont get that. The plumber would have got that if he ACC covered it. But someone who was unemployed would get fuck all. That was the point they were ham fistedly trying to make in that section.

@jegga what a disgrace she is.
Its the same bullshit we see from the justice democrats in the states [Omar ,AOC, Talib]. Say something disgusting -hide behind your identity[muslim, woman, person of colour etc etc] if that doesn't fail give a sorry not sorry statement -rinse , repeat.
Then again the Greens co leader went on the Gaza flotilla with someone who designed a video game that gives you points for every Israeli you kill so don't expect any punishment worse than being mauled by a dead sheep.

@booboo said in NZ Politics:
@jegga how does someone apparently so thick get voted into office?
Does National avoid challenging her because it's better to have someone incompetent to deal with?
Mmp has led to some “ interesting “ people entering parliament. I think national are stoked with her, every time she opens her mouth lies that are easily disproved come out .
Amongst other things she’s claimed to be the first female minister of defence, Heather Roy was the first minister of defence and Golly G isn’t a minister.
Her and Marama “ I’m reclaiming the word fluffybunny “ Davidson give the greens nothing but bad publicity . Far left weirdos might approve but they were always going to vote green ( if they voted) but I’d imagine they turn off equal amounts if not more people who might have voted green. -
Stuff in full apologist mode. So if you are on the far right you are racist, on the left you are clumsy? 🤔
