Replying to @jacktame
@jacktame jst said something to th effect tht it's the 1st time @NZQandA will not get to interview a New Zealand Prime Minister right before an election!!! WHOA! Don't know about you, but I need my PM to be together enough to face proper public scrutiny. He too weak, can't cope.

Homelessness affects thousands across Aotearoa NZ. In 2023, 4,965 people lived without shelter, up 37% since 2018. Everyone deserves dignity, safety and a home. Support Homeless New Zealand. #Homelessness #AotearoaNZ

On the train into the city. There's a young boy hanging from the hand straps and swinging around like he's in an Olympic gym competition. Mum looking at her phone. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Jack Tame just gave Luxon a big serve for not fronting up on Q&A. The only PM to not front up in an election year since Q&A began. Shameful stuff @chrisluxonmp. What a nonsense of a PM you turned out to be.
