Liked this too
"I say to Andrew Little that this is the best job in Government. Don't worry about setbacks. Just when it seems a negotiation has gone all wrong something very good can and invariably does happen. I mean who knows, Sonny Tau could decide to go and live in Iceland!'
Last week Findlayson said "I would say that Sonny Tau is a waste of space but that would be rude"
For all the lefts monopoly on the Maori seats it is two National Ministers who have done the most to settle historic injustices

Insanity but hardly surprising from our virtue-signaller-in-chief
Good shit , that should fuck off Winstons demographic . Particularly since Bridges said he won’t honour it . If enough NZ first voters are alive and not suffering from dementia in two years national might be able carve off a chunk of them over this.
I’m starting to change my opinion of Bridges , maybe he just looks good in comparison to Ardern ? Then again a nutless monkey could look good as a prime ministerial option in comparison to her .

@jegga TBF the last few times I have seen him interviewed seems to have come across better, a little more authoritive as well...maybe the Jamie-Lee saga gave him a pair?
Agree , that was my thoughts too. He could be growing into the role which will take a few kickings along the way.
How much would it irritate labour and our other woke factions if national gave us the first woman and then the first Maori pm?

TBH he has time to grow into it. The next election won't be won today, he needs to work on honing his schtick into something credible, but chipping away at all of the missteps of the Jacko administration wouldn't go amiss

Minor point - Sir James Carroll was our first Maori PM. Early 1900's I think. Don't believe that he was elected PM, fill in, or acting, or something, but then Shipley wasn't elected either.

He was acting while the pm was overseas wasn’t he?
Labour fluffers have tried to claim Shipley doesn’t count because she wasn’t elected , we don’t vote for the leader here we vote for the party so that doesn’t really wash.

Something like that. He was liberal party too, who later sort of got absorbed by a new party called "national", so could argue that Nats already had a Maori PM. Agree that it is the party that counts and they choose the leader, Nats chose a woman. So first female PM (elected or otherwise).

@jegga some examples:
Peter Evans NZ FIRST FINISHED. Winston Peters and the greatest act of political TREACHERY in our history.
Peters is a liar a fraud and a self serving conman. NZFIRST is finishedRaewyn Fisher The government are traitors to the NZ people
Tommy Way I voted for NZ first for there hard line on this topic.
But looks like Winston has sold his soul for power.
You lose my vote next electionWilliam Coakley Lost my vote then. We need to start a petition about this. Otherwise NZ will turn into a dump like all those cities in europe
Tod Rail After 15 plus years support you can go to hell winston.
Denise Anglesey I don't care - you did not listen to the people over this - this is not what you campaigned on
Stuart MacGregor NEW ZEALAND IS OFFICIALLY FUCKED...thank you Winston Peters NZF and the labour , NZF government. Winston..what happened.?. you were so against freehold imigration ..not you have signed up to this stupid pact that even our Australian neighbours want nothing to do with...Have you lost your marbles now you have the baubles of office.?????????????
Mainly people pissed with Winston.

@antipodean excellent

People get carried away stating that National must somehow create some sort of new puppet support party (that somehow wouldn't be seen as such by the electorate...) as the only way to get National across the line.
It makes a big assumption that the existing small parties won't implode and get under 5%.... especially if they hoover up, say, 4.5% of the vote with no electorate win to show for it for their side....
Interesting times.

You are right. This current government might turn voters off a coalition next time!!
