To back room bureaucrats or fixing failing infrastructure To Members of Parliament who promote division or those who seek the long term betterment of all New Zealanders. Where should the scarce taxpayer funds go? Really reach for the Stars and unity of Matariki.

The calibre of parliament has been brought down by the greens, te pati and labour. It’s as though they can’t cope or compete with the coalition so they’re trivialising the issues spoken about by laughing a lot. It’s like the laughter is to lighten the motions , declarations and points of order. They’re really avoiding fierce intellectual debate by filling the air with whimsical gestures and catcalls. I’ve witnessed this behaviour from struggling students who are trying to avoid the task of learning. Create lots of laughter and that way any mistakes will be not taken so seriously. If this is what the coalition is up against they should be able to fast track all their policies through without any hindrance.
