Wow, I am so shocked.

Christopher Luxon dodges Chlöe Swarbrick's question about untaxed land bankers while speaking about...

He said young people have had a "free ride" under Labour and that this would end under National.

I mean I grew up in a Tory household with John Key held out as our country’s saviour, but through the magic of public schooling, access to academic libraries & a mind of my own, my teenage friends and I ended up debating policy many levels above this rhetoric. But go off, Stan.

I've learnt the @NZNationalParty won't appear alongside me to discuss or debate anything - including Drug Reform - because I am 'not the Minister.' It may come as a surprise, but there's actually a lot of work backbench MPs can get done if they put aside status & petty politics.

“There is such a thing as legitimate tax avoidance.” - Andrew Bayly, National Party MP, unintentionally outlining exactly how Govts have consistently perpetuated tax systems that empower the wealthy to *technically legally* move their money around, while workers pick up the bill.

This is sad, bottom of the barrel stuff. Words have consequences. Of course you’re “entitled to your opinion,” but as someone with a political platform, this is just dumb & dangerous, David. The public hate and threats Golriz receives are the tip of the iceberg. Man the hell up.

Nats talk a lot about workers “keeping more of what they earn” but never when it’s the profits those workers create… 🤔

Inflation isn’t hitting all of us equally. The wealthy are an estimated near $1trillion better off since the pandemic as a *result* of decisions made and not made. If there’s a crisis to be made of cost of living, it is an inequality crisis.

You can’t pinpoint the specific cigarette that caused lung cancer. You can’t pinpoint the exact specific emissions responsible for the #climatecrisis . You can stop pouring fuel on a fire. You can demand action from your politicians & replace those who obfuscate or refuse.
