"The cup of tea" coming up on RNZ..Sir John Key aka Teflon John, the Smiling Assassin on RNZ soon for damage control.
National and Act are scrapping over Epsom. Labour's Camilla Belich is an excellent candidate and a far better option for Epsom voters.
Bear this in mind when voting.
Middle class families, lower, upper and middle class as well as low paid workers and families are all affected

Add to that from Monday all unemployed 18 & 19 year old Kiwi job seekers can't collect the dole if their parents earn a paltry combined income of $67,225 in the middle of a cost of living nightmare and MSD Minister Upston collects $52k tax free on her Wgton rental allowance

David Seymour thinks he has a shot at finance minister.
I don't f'n think so sunshine.
I don't think anybody left right or centre wants that unhinged little sociopath near the country's finances.
Nikky No Boats has been more than bad enough.
This is true
“This isn’t a competent government with a plan to fix the economy. Its record instead is of economic mismanagement, privatisation by stealth, crony corruption, climate denialism, expensive populist promises, abject incompetence in health & a still-rising cost of living.” @simonbwilson’s blistering indictment of current #NZ govt: simonwilsonhopetown.substack… #nzpol

Not the first I've heard of National having supporters act like ordinary members of the public for staged conversations with Luxon in front of the media.
And poor old Mahesh Muralidhar, he really has the reverse Midas touch eh?
A leaked message in a group chat for supporters of the National Party’s Tāmaki candidate Mahesh Muralidhar shows supporters have been instructed not to wear blue so they can “engage organically”

Luxflakes chickened out....
We asked Christopher Luxon to come on Q+A. Here's what happened youtube.com/shorts/4_3ly-j0z… via @YouTube

National are a mess, Chloe is describing them as "hysterical" on RNZ
7 Houses still refuses (or isn't allowed because of his cock ups ) to go on Breakfast.
7 Houses had gifted the slot to Act 'arrogant prick". Today he has been replaced by Willis.

Labour is ranking ahead of National on 19 of the top 20 issues on voters’ minds, including all the top 5. A good way to start the last week of the election campaign. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/e… #nzpol

“National has taken its attacks on Chlöe Swarbrick too far. A scroll through the party’s Instagram account this week is an uncomfortable way to pass time.”

if you're too young to remember, john key's reign was full of insane moments, he was directly named in the panama papers, got caught wayyyy too many times pulling the hair of young girls, and had an international reputation for being a duplicitous prick

Luxon accepted a $50,000 pay rise last year. He took $52,000 of tax free benefits for living in his own apartment, saying he was "entitled to it".
He gave Board members 80% pay rises, and tobacco companies $300m - but says NZ doctors should get a pay cut. Hypocrite #nzpol

This is the first election since Q+A started in 2009 that an incumbent Prime Minister has refused to be interviewed.

So National wants its members to hide their allegiance so they can pretend to be not politically aligned. This is how Labour members campaign in public.

Supporters pretending to be members of the public who shouldn't wear blue
This truly is the worst campaign since Judith Collins

Lusk was policy adviser to gvt’s ministerial advisory group on retail crime. Nobody will say who hired him,what he did or what he was paid. Lusk markets himself as a specialist in removing politicians who obstruct commercial interests!

Seems that the strategy was for those who would normally wear their branded attire to appear as if they were unaffiliated members of the public. A rerun of “rent-a-crowd” in Ponsonby in 2020. Clearly it’s the very silly season. Etc.

Luxon following the Judith Collins playbook of manufactured popularity

The National party want your vote but won't engage why?
