Is New Zealand the only country in the world where this can happen? #screwyoucovid #luckycountry #socialdistancing @ Mosgiel, New Zealand https://t.co/6zADHOJVZF

“Democracy gave way to a time to a form of temporary tyranny; no-one should fear death threats or violence for voicing an opinion no matter how much you disagree, but that was the reality in a Jacindamania,” Goodfellow said.... @NZNationalParty is screwed https://t.co/wRzheeeroL

Not sure who put this together based on my blog post but it is excellent.

First family outing since we got home on March 18th.
Off to my work, yep I am an essential service, a few jobs to do that are critical to ensure ongoing COVID testing. I need a driver, so my bubble comes with… https://t.co/maF3Yp7qRv

@jacindaardern just said David Clark has been told to avoid any activities that expose him to risk. This explains why he won't do any media interviews at the moment!

[Craig Watson @Craig4Selwyn]

Really benefit from watching the 1pm updates from the DG of Health etc, gotta be honest annoyed it is being politicised today

[Craig Watson @Craig4Selwyn]

@WoodhouseMP Well done Mike

After Ardern "told" Jones off for his comments on Indians, he doubled down and said "In fact, they're appearing in courts with more regularity than the Mongrel Mob"

What a great Government we have.

[David Farrar @dpfdpf]

So to date we have charges against Jami-Lee Ross, an investigation into NZ First and an investigation into Mayors Dalziel and Goff.

[Christopher Bishop @cjsbishop]

Just a reminder that Associate Minister of Transport Shane Jones attempted to put his relative and donor Stan Semenoff on the board of the NZTA, and raised the case as Minister with the independent regulator. In any other government he’d have been sacked.

[Simon Bridges @simonjbridges]

A deal is closing for the Crown to buy Ihumatao right now. It’s to be announced next week when the PM & DPM are offshore so they don’t have to answer questions.
This is wrong, rewarding illegal protestors, wasting taxpayer money & reopening full & final treaty settlements.

[David Seymour @dbseymour]

Only the UN would fly some bureaucrat all the way to New Zealand to compare the Auckland housing market with what’s happening in Syria or Darfur. We need to replace the RMA, not hyperbole from the UN.

[Mark Mitchell @MarkMitchellMP]

Jenny Marcroft sent to warn me off a project or risk funding. Tracey Martin telling Chair of a local project they must avoid National Party scrutiny to get PGF funds. Ron Mark threatening a veterans group for votes. Dep Prime Minister’s goons surveil Journalists. Where’s the PM?

[Craig Watson @Craig4Selwyn]

haha #fakenews

[Winston Peters @winstonpeters]

Just remember the National Party is the only Party being investigated by the SFO for electoral donations. Don’t hear media saying that do you?
