#NZTwits need to listen to this raw political honesty about the treatment of #NZ Police and who is really #DefundingDaPolice!
Tamatha Paul lets parliament know she has the biggest balls in #NZPol when it comes to challenging the treatment and defunding of NZ Police by this #Luxon led #CoalitionOfIncompetence
Apologies for low res but in the interest of Mastodon NZ have downsized video to in res.
Great korerorero between #GreenParty co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick and #NZPol PM #Luxon today in #NZQT
The question being asked is number 8. Chlöe questions the Coalition of Attrition about its funding cuts to social services, food banks and mental health.
Bishop's supplementary question to the PM re Green's "defunding da Police" backfires spectacularly.

It’s great to hear a #NZPol politician respond intelligently and objectively to the global economic and trade crisis being caused by political and economic incompetence without cowering in fear of the irrational #POTUS like NZ PM #Luxon and foreign minister Winston Peters who both appear to be either very ignorant or compromised by the US.
@ArrestJK I’m old enough to remember #NZPol PM in waiting Chris #Luxon calling out NZ acting PM Chris Hipkins for daring to call for a ceasefire in #Gaza. Since becoming PM Luxon has remained uncritical of the #genocide being carried out by #Israel #US #Uk and the #EU making NZ complicit in these #WarCrimes.
Conclusion is #Luxon is an immoral coward.
Like coming across a horrific fatal road accident, feeling unable to look yet unable to look away, we sit here in faraway NZ watching the collapse and incredible destruction of #USA. It’s important to remember our current immoral #NZPol leadership and government remains shamefully loyal to the undemocratic demands of #USPol.
If we’re being honest, there’s no way #Luxon has ever been appointed on merit in any role he’s ever been given. He’s been awarded roles because he’s a YES man who is easily manipulated.
Alternatively, coward #Luxon is too scared to sack David Seymour or Winston Peters out of fear of them forcing a snap election. Of the two I suspect Winston Peters is more likely to pull the plug on this coalition government whereas Seymour knows he’ll never have this much control of a #NZPol government again.
For anyone who hasn't seen this #NZPol TikTok of Gordon Ramsay inspecting #Luxon outcomes serving #SeymourSlop in the kitchen.
#Luxon refuses to answer a simple yes or no questions as he knows the answer will prove he is a LIAR.
Chlöe Swarbrick, #NZPol Prime Minister in waiting, asks Lame O'Luxon if he can spend just a couple of hours on the streets of Auckland to speak with the people his government has made homeless. Clueless Luxon rejects the premise of the question despite evidence showing Akl homeless numbers increasing by 53% in just 4 months. This govt is an enemy of NZers. #NZQT
Auckland Council's Community Committee has sent a 'please help' letter to the government, after recording a 53 percent rise in people sleeping rough in the city over four months.
#Luxon: I just say to you I’m proud of the work we’re doing, we’re doing a great job…
…I haven’t heard anybody pick up and said hey listen great job.”
How fkn *lamo do you have to be to think Wiston Peters' attack on legislated anti discrimination legal protections for civil servants is a good idea?
The answer won't surprise you but may well earn an eye roll when you find out it's #Luxon desperately grabbing at every passing culture war to try and halt his rapidly sinking popularity. This fool is so clueless I almost feel sorry for him.
*Lamo a lame Luxonism.
#NZPol
It appears #Luxon approved Bayly's leave at the time of his resignation. Climbing Mt Everest appears to be BS, Bayly's visiting base camp and returning to NZ next week... he's certainly no Edmond Hillary.
