National has definitely met with criminals over the last 3 years, but there’s no lobbying register so the public will never know.
Labour, the Greens, TPM and Opportunity all want to regulate lobbying. This will improve trust and help stop corporates from writing legislation.
Tama Potaka attended a 'large gang event' as Minister in Jan 2024. Gang members meeting politicians is fine. What's not ok is National attacking Greens, Labour & Te Pāti Māori for days when their own minister met patched members

to the average conservative, being seen with gang members at a family function is an irredeemable crime. but knowingly associating with pedophiles, interfering in murder trials, defrauding the elderly and other crimes are fine as long as you’re white and in the right tax bracket
"But now the wheels are coming off. People are buying petrol on Afterpay, the pipes are broken, and Starship Hospital doesn’t have enough nurses to provide care for children with cancer.
And meanwhile our richest people have got a great deal richer."

Why has nothing ever been done about the way @dbseymour condoned the heinous crimes of his then President #TimJago and ensured they were not made public prior to the 2023 Election? @actparty - home of PDFs
I can't believe there are so many people who look at this govt's record where every measurable metric has worsened and think, yeah, let's give them some more time - fucking idiots #OTG
I have never - NEVER - seen our country in such a mess.
A complete, divisive, fucked up mess.
I am old enough to remember Muldoon (yeah sorry).
But honestly anyone who wants another three years of this shit seriously needs their head read.
Gen X over and out... #nzpol
Nicky Hagers book Dirty Work was exactly right. The taxpayers union and their rightwing media mates are all over leftwing hit jobs and pile ons. This latest gang
job, is just another in a long line to keep the rich richer in New Zealand and reelect a far right nightmare.

It is funny how my twitter feed is full of gloating about Kerrin Leoni being sacked for arguably failing to precisely describe an event when we have a Prime Minister saying multiple porkies every day.
