Doesn't this make you feel we're in good hands? "Luxon said he had not seen the "independent advice" Costello used to push the policy through Cabinet, but he was confident it was credible."

Remember when Bill English was paid $500,000 from the Emergency Housing Fund to do a hatchet job on Kainga Ora and kill social housing efforts? I do. #nzpol

Sorry to say I called it. What is it when people keep going back to their abusers expecting different behaviours even though they haven’t changed but instead, got much, much worse? Why do voters keep believing their lies? #nzpol

Dr Shane Reti @DrShane... • 07/07/2023 I'm proud to be with Michael Woodhouse in Dunedin this morning, where we announced that the next National government will build the hospital Dunedin needs, with all the beds, operating theatres and radiology services that Labour removed.

To paraphrase an old David Frost joke, the government has announced the brain drain has ended. They’ve all gone. 59 jobs to go at GNS Science www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
