Sure to be a few pearls of wisdom in @judithcollinsmp ‘s valedictory. Just took a quick snap in the corridor outside the House.

Love this quote from @SimeonBrownMP "The Labour Party is so devoid of ideas that it cannot form a position on Chris Hipkins’ own Fees Free policy." So true!

This shows the clear difference in mentality between the centre right and the increasingly unhinged leftists. This is a great members’ bill by Tom Rutherford MP for Bay of Plenty.

Make no mistake. Labour’s capital gains tax would penalise all hardworking Kiwis who have scrimped and saved. Family rentals, small investments, even a flat helping pay for your kids’ uni - it would all be taxed. National believes in lower taxes. Labour always makes you pay.

@CarlBates I lean toward a Wgi, Ruapehu, South Taranaki council amalgamation. But we need to be given enough time for the Councils to talk to each other, model this out properly and consult with us on this. 3 months is not sufficient.

Kieran McAnulty = aside from CGT "no new taxes" Deborah Russell = "of course we will have more tax policy". Which is it Labour? Doesn't really matter though, New Zealanders already know that you can't be trusted on tax!

Why would Labour worry about the facts? Totally irresponsible to be trying to scare New Zealanders during times like this. Facts are that fuel levels are higher today than they were a month ago. ⛽️

Corrections does an awesome job managing some of the most violent and recidivist criminals in our society. Duncan Webb MP, I am sorry that 49,000 fewer victims of violent crime means that you are not able to stretch properly in your fake cell.

Just announced: cancer infusion services are being expanded nationwide, with 14 new infusion centres and 14 expanded facilities, so more New Zealanders can access care closer to home. Including in Hāwera!

@CarlBates @NZNationalParty Pathetic Carl. You're all making a big deal over reversing a policy that was so idiotic in the first place. Listening to the people- that would be a first for your government.

@NZNationalParty backs recreational fishers. We’ve heard your concerns. The PM spoke to NZ First Minister Shane Jones - he agreed to take out the sections of the Fisheries Amendment Bill that removes the minimum size limits.

We’re replacing NCEA with a new qualification that is clearer, more consistent and internationally comparable. That means more emphasis on reading, writing and maths, and less focus on chasing credits.
