If the Marine And Coastal Act amendment bill goes through in its current form, the MACA Act is no longer legislation to recognise Maori customary interests in the moana, it is in fact legislation to give a marine title to the commercial fishing industry by a side wind.

The landlords who own office buildings are in a panic mode. With working from home, companies will be reducing their office space when leases are renewed and that means empty office space for landlords.

Luxie Wuxie, flubbin' and lie, Mucked his words and said things dire, When the Press came out to play, Luxie Wuxie ran away. #NZPol#PartTimePrimeMinister#DoesntEvenHaveAPortfolio

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has revealed he will break with convention and skip a traditional Tuesday opportunity for journalists to ask him questions.

Luxon explained his decision in his post-Cabinet media conference this afternoon, saying that reporters would continue to have plenty of opportunities to talk to him.


"Essentially, in a 24-hour period, you get me here at post-Cabinet for 40 minutes, you get me tomorrow morning doing my media round, and you get me on caucus runs at 10am or 11am later that day, and then on the tiles again at 2pm," he said.


"Within 24 hours, you've got four appointments."


When asked whether this decision would reduce his ability to communicate with the public, he said: "I think there are heaps of opportunities to do that, as you well know."


Speaking to media, the Prime Minister added: "

The minister has defended the changes, saying she was looking at "a range of options" to help addicts.
