@canefan some farmers at Mystery Creek this week gave Jacinda the same message INZ are giving these people...
A good case officer with INZ would be able to assist these people and see they are valuable citizens to have and help them meet the criteria.
Immigration, law and order, health, the economy, 3 Waters. Seems like Labour's performance in all of these will be more than enough to see them lose the next election. Not to mention the people seem tired of two faced Cindy

From an outsider's perspective (living out of the country), the media seem to be turning against the govt, even Stuff!

@canefan Only to be replaced by a political infant who goes on Morning Report to talk about his policy of raising the super age and allows himself to get ambushed by a price of bread question.
Neither party is up to the job - unfortunately.

Totally agree. No guarantees National are any better. But Labour are in power at the moment, they basked in their successes now they will have to own the failures. With the way things are economically it isn't a good election to win

The lies are catching up with them. And she has no cute pics of her daughter to placate the masses anymore

Entrenchment means legislation could only be amended or repealed if a special majority agreed to it in Parliament. Earlier this week, the entrenchment clause in Three Waters was labelled as "constitutionally objectionable" by the Law Society.
The clause would now be removed, House Leader Chris Hipkins confirmed on Sunday.
"It was a mistake to put the entrenchment clause in and the Government will fix the issue as soon as the House resumes on Tuesday," he said in a statement.
Muppets!

The lies are catching up. I don't think these things go unnoticed by the public

Luxton appears so terribly afraid of making a mistake that he really comes across at best as one of those politicians that speaks a lot but never appears to say anything, at middling as spineless and at worst a combination of the two.
ACT is climbing the ranks simply because Seymour puts up some sort of opposition to Labour, not that ACT and national lack material but it appears only ACT has the guts to do something about it.
And I'm not an ACT voter or Seymour fan, just simply saying how I see it - rightly or wrongly.

@Windows97 I was never sold on Luxon and my misgivings are being borne out I think.
Yes he's steadied the ship, but that's more about what went before and the Labour implosion than any qualities Luxon himself brings.
Nat supporters fap about how he is John Key II just because they both have a commercial background, but Key was a political savant and Luxon ...isn't.
Luxon remains Labours one great hope for re-election. He isn't really improving at all. How can he go into an interview not knowing what NZ Super pays. He epitomises the white, privileged male meme and he's leading a caucus that largely reinforces that prejudice.
Cindy v Luxon is a political mis-match
Labour v National - not so much.
Even with the state of the economy and Labour's many and obvious failings I still think the electoon's going to be tight

@dogmeat Sadly your 100% correct here, not because I was desperately looking for something to disagree with in your post so I could argue with a complete stranger on the internet, but because I don't think my mental health could stand another 4 years of Cindy.
Between her and Fozzie it's pretty tough going if you're looking to your leaders for inspiration

Your not far wrong...I guess the good ones are those that actually manage to say something

@Windows97 sounds like my attempts at 6th form English essays...if I waffle on writing enough about the subject matter, I am bound to hit valid points for marks
-
@taniwharugby I used the same tactic - to moderate effect I must admit
-
@Windows97 Well I got a grade 2 in 6th form English, so I regurgitated info pretty good!

It was clumsy by Luxton to refer to South Auckland garages like that, but of course stuff have to go and find someone who contradicts his statement
Perhaps tomorrow, in the name of balance, they should post a story about a meth lab in a South Auckland garage?

Question for the uninformed please.
Co-Governance. Can anyone explain in grunts of one syllable what exactly is being floated here?
I see mention of it about various Twitter accounts and "news" outlets.
I just don't want to speculate the actual meaning as I'm ignorant of the proposed format.
Thanks in anticipation.
(After that ... Three Waters ... )
