🚨BREAKING🚨
Conspiracy theorist & former TVNZ Breakfast host Liz Gunn has tonight announced that she will register a new political party and contest the next general election on October 14 provided she gets 500 ‘real kiwis’ to sign up as members within the next 7 days.

Today after years of hard work from @JulieAnneGenter the Government is delivering on its election promise to work together with the Greens to tackle the climate crisis with a Clean Car Standard and other good measures.
What?? As a Radio NZ reporter I am stunned at this. I use Te Reo on air because it's such an important part of New Zealand culture and identity - you can't deny that.
