It's fake news 😂 they're part of the CNN of the worlds they clip bits and pieces that fit their agenda and sensor or cover up things they don't want kiwis to see and they turn off commentation section because they don't want people to read that kiwis are infact aware it's one news is like CNN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm tired of TV drones and their gotcha style of reporting. They have gone from adulating cheerleaders of the last administration to becoming members of the Opposition. Thanks to their dereliction of duty we are only now becoming aware of the sheer scale of Labour's incompetence. I spent a career in daily journalism and I believe the hiveminded activists on both both tv channels don't deserve to be called journalists.

Back in the day when we use to butcher our own meat. We use to make our own sausages. And we'd use the intestine as the skin. You can make really big fat sausages that way with yummy crunchy chrispy skin. Nowadays they got these tiny little skinny as things in plastic skin. Rip.off. you're right Niki. Size does matter.

Stop the attack of the yesterdays and get on with tomorrow-- we pay you to be mature and get NZ back on track from the crap we had,stop acting like Labour,and do what we pay you to do, .Already Luxton is learning Maori when he said he was scrapping the public language, now hes in Aus trying to lick Albanese ,and the dirty US and British ,when china is good for our broke country Winston has been to the islands for the same thing, should i note all with our money. NZ needs to focus forward, lets leave behind the crap we have been served with Labour and do what the people of our country are paying for, act are the only ones showing maturity, maybe Liz gun was the best vote,and Winston is the milk man like i have always said.

It proves she is human like some of us, what concerns me is are their policies fair to all? NO how we care for the most vurable without often a voice is a measure of true character not the sausage size. Do you remember the family first idealogy where government policies were reviewed accord HOW THEY IMPACT THE FAMILY. I am not pro free lunch idealogy it's someone elses tax but if you look after your children/elderly instead of the state you should get the same assistance. e.g. home schooling, stay at home mums/dads, disability/vaccine injured/elderly care. After all now a landlord gets a taxbreak on interest cost they can pass on.
