@nzlabour @NZGreens shouldn't we sort out the population-infrastructure imbal before giving >= middleclass parents money for having kids?

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@MatthewHootonNZ @pmbillenglish @winstonpeters @NZNational Is their polling telling them something?

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@MatthewHootonNZ @winstonpeters @NZGreens @msdgovtnz @NZNationalParty Isn't the first question: What triggered MSD becoming aware of the "anomaly" in the first place (and at the time of the Turei affair)?

@NZJulieMarshall @donpeters6927 @MatthewHootonNZ @winstonpeters @msdgovtnz @NZGreens In the 9th floor podcast with Jenny Shipley, she implied he sometimes didn't even read is cabinet papers...

@NZJulieMarshall @donpeters6927 @MatthewHootonNZ @winstonpeters @msdgovtnz @NZGreens Interesting theory. I just find it hard to believe he would risk it in the first place.

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@NZWatcher @MatthewHootonNZ It's a theory. Tell me why it is less likely than a Nat being responsible.

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@BigFunk__ I put forth this theory yesterday, before @MatthewHootonNZ tweeted his "intell".

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@donpeters6927 @MatthewHootonNZ @winstonpeters @msdgovtnz @NZGreens The leak is clearly correlated with the Turei affair (timing). It is much more likely that a @NZGreens supporter at MSD responded than a Nat

@SamHarrisOrg @DouglasKMurray Great interview guys.

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@SamHarrisOrg @WakingUpCourse It's beyond me why this is needed. #appforcrapping

@garethmorgannz won't the UBI only work if taxation is organised to ensure only the bottom get a net benefit (otherwise we get inflation)?

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@MatthewHootonNZ @winstonpeters @msdgovtnz @NZGreens It makes sense - it happened when Turei was getting a lot of heat. It makes no sense the Nats saw that as an opport to attack Winston.

FFS @MatthewHootonNZ I told you... https://t.co/AnX8GR5L3G

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@MatthewHootonNZ Given the timing and coalition dynamics, are the Greens a possibility too?

@fraserj_NZ @jacindaardern @chrishipkins @PaulGoldsmithMP @pmbillenglish Finally, if you are in this position, I believe you can get a bank loan. Finish, get out and pay it off.

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@fraserj_NZ @jacindaardern @chrishipkins @PaulGoldsmithMP @pmbillenglish Third, you can apply your reasoning to any degree. I have 9 years tertiary study. What if I want a BSc in American Studies? Where draw line?

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@fraserj_NZ @jacindaardern @chrishipkins @PaulGoldsmithMP @pmbillenglish Second, you expect anyone to buy that they hit 4th year and then realised they couldn't finish? Come the eff on.

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@fraserj_NZ @jacindaardern @chrishipkins @PaulGoldsmithMP @pmbillenglish For a start, these students are not "postgrad". They are med students who gained graduate or alternative entry.

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@fraserj_NZ @jacindaardern @chrishipkins Actually, what is the new policy? It doesn't actually say how long you are eligible for. Is there no limit to the number of years of study??

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@fraserj_NZ How could someone smart enough to do med not work out they wouldn't finish the last year due to a lack of student loan?

[Norm Odonnell @norm_odonnell]

@MatthewHootonNZ #nzpol is disgusting @NZNationalParty screw the country, @nzlabour have no real answers, the minor players are idiots and dirt is everywhere
