@NicolaWillisMP Keep in mind you cannot rely on parliamentary privilege if you happen to defame someone on Twitter… whether intentional or not. #nzpol #justsaying #playtheballnottheperson

🧵We saw the Finance Minister and CTU head Craig Rennie catching up at the Parliament cafe recently, like the old chums and former workmates they are, so had wondered when their next partisan hit-job would come.

@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis #LogansRun

@PeterDiamandis We seem to be leveling off with a mid 80 year lifespan. Are you aware of something presently that changes this outcome?

We are edging closer toward a dramatically extended healthspan — where 100 is the new 60. What will you create, where will you explore, and how will you spend your time if you are able to add an additional 40 healthy years to your life?

@RusselNorman I wish I could agree with you but @nzlabour did not release any policies along those lines leading up to the election. #nomoreexcuses

With NZF out of Parliament and Labour and Greens in a dominant position, there are #nomoreexcuses for failing to take transformative climate action #Election2020

#NZpol #bringbacktheyak

The @NZNationalParty’s graphs need some work. Could this one breach electoral rules about things being misleading @nzlabour? #NZpol @NZGreens @actparty @nzfirst @Maori_Party

R.I.P. #RBG ;-(

#NZPOL @DavidClarkNZ: Look at my awesome new mountain bike @HamishWalkerMP: Hold my beer @nzlabour @NZNationalParty @toddmullerBoP #NZPolice @nzpolice

The optics of having @DavidClarkNZ throw Ashley Bloomfield under the bus on live TV were terrible. Bad call. Sad. #nzpol #covid @nzlabour @NZNationalParty

@minhealthnz @DavidClarkNZ Question: When the Minister of Health says on 6pm TV news that people will be ‘required’ to self isolate is exercising his powers under section 70 of the Health Act to authorise medical officers? #nzpol #coronavirusnz

@jacktame @NZQandA There are only two (not three) official languages in New Zealand. #FAIL

How long does it take for the Earth to orbit the sun? 47% of Kiwi adults didn’t know the right answer. But does that really matter? @NZQandA tonight.

@Dannythefink @pitchcoach Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master.

@pitchcoach @demosthenes You are certainly correct. And your book looks fascinating. Thank you for sharing your insights on the piece. D

“Eventually you will be able to produce a speech that is perfectly engineered to achieve a certain reaction.” @dannythefink on computers. Impact still relies on human “delivery, delivery, delivery” @Demosthenes.

"Virtue begins with understanding and if fulfilled by courage." @demosthenes

@USAPreferredHer Too many lacking ɡravɪtas speak their mind freely.

@jacktame You're right @jacktame "it seems trifling" and more importantly it is trifling. What a waste of an interview. So boring and childish and petty. #amateur #NZpol

Good on you @chrishipkins and @dbseymour #BFFs #NZPol @nzlabour @actparty

As a vessel is known by the sound, whether it be cracked or not; so men are proved, by their speeches, whether they be wise or foolish.
