Also we now know that the companies bidding for constructing the new ferries did NOT donate

I wonder whether folks are starting to wonder if their tax cuts might perhaps come at too great a cost

Landlords however are still grinning from ear to ear

National says it "remain[s] committed to a resilient, safe and reliable connection for the Cook Strait", but they're not going to make it happen. Just like they "remain committed" to meeting our climate change obligations, while cancelling all policies to do so. #NZPol

Oh and we are committed to raising wage levels while we repeal FPAs

Aka - we won’t reduce the minimum wage - so be happy about it

And a lotta we know better than you and every expert or adviser

This is the John Howard/John Key playbook. It's all about encouraging (allowing) people to go (back) to sleep on politics. JK used to say he was relaxed and comfortable about issues all the time. "I've got it covered. No need to think."
