The National/ACT government want to entrench two standards of citizenship: one standard for those who have wealth, and a lower standard for those that don’t. They are a government of entrenched privilege and they’re totally out of touch with the Kiwis who work hard for a living.
Christopher Luxon says we need to say “yes” more and “no” less, yet his government said NO to new interisland ferries, NO to new state houses, NO to Dunedin hospital, NO to affordable water reform, NO to school upgrades, and NO to higher wages.
Years ago, in the 1990s, me and my boss were looking at a client's rental accounts. He asked was I sure about the mortgage repayments. I said I had checked them with the bank. "They can't be less than the rent," he said, "That never happens. Not on a 90% mortgage." Seems like...

Yes she was an extraordinary leader.
Now we have a 'leader' who knows nothing & isn't across any briefs, is inarticulate, at times incoherent, can't read the room and has no fricken patience.
@winstonpeters The Ministry of Health has issued a written statement confirming the public servant you have attacked had declared their conflict of interest and it was the Ministry who didn’t disclose it to Casey Costello. Attacking hard-working Kiwis who can’t answer back is weak Winston.
Why does Andrew Bayley think that working hard for a living makes someone a “loser”? It’s an appalling attitude for a government minister, but sadly symptomatic of the arrogance and superiority complex of the Luxon-led govt. Luxon won’t take action because he thinks the same.
Some staggering details in this:
* telling the worker to f**k off
* putting an L to his forehead, calling him a loser
*alleges Bayly was drunk
Minister Bayly has apologised for mis-reading the situation with ‘light-hearted’ behaviour. Hasn’t resigned. Nor has PM Luxon sacked him
