Would you make any changes?

@GregPresland @chrisluxonmp I'll take things that didn't happen for $500

So Israeli military forces intercepted a boat in international waters and bet up Kiwis who wanted to make sure that Palestinian kids were being fed. Surely @chrisluxonmp should require the Israeli ambassador to front up and apologise.

Really looking forward to all the opinion pieces in the Sunday papers tomorrow on the big story of the week - 1News’ homophobia. (Especially after the wall to wall coverage on a Bible verse posted by Izzy.)
Which columnist will tackle it?
Taking your predictions ⤵️

@VoteSovereign The result is what it is there are a lot of people on the right who follow him.
The story is these people ain't going to labour they are going to nz first and expect that to be shown on election night

807 votes is about a statistical standard for major NZ polling.
Some would argue that is an X poll. However, TPU is positioned centre-right - which means this result is likely even more damning for National and Act.

@GaryPayinda Thats whay happens when Labour prints 25% of the money in circulation today over 3 years. Works its way through the system and makes everyone poorer
English
Worst govt in 35 years for NZ workers. It's not even close.
You feel it in your pocketbook already, but if you want know *some* what this disastrous National govt has taken from you, watch my TikTok explainer video:

@lorrainesplace Honestly he is so bad in front of the media the less he says the better for him I would say. Let the greens and te pati Maori say wild stuff and hopefully that brings down labor is probably the strategy
English
This is a very strange way for a Prime Minister to prepare for an election in 6 months time. Unless, of course, he has no idea at all, how to answers questions put to him.
English
@lee_asher @bibibedamned @quinnjin2009 This occurs because Labor historically have printed a lot of money
English
@rumpundum @ClintVSmith I wish that was true but you clearly don't meet the average kiwi voter who is switching to labor at an alarming rate
English
@ClintVSmith Pfft. Labour lost the centre years ago.
They are virtually indistinguishable from their extremist side kicks The Greens and Maori Party.
English
National is on the precipice & could quickly drop to low 20s, with most going to NZF
Fighting their coalition partner won't change that. It'll just drive stability seeking centre voters to Labour
If Nats want to hold on to voters, they need to give them positive reasons to stay

Finlayson pulling his punches: NZ First is an "excrescence" Former National minister urges party to 'declare war' on NZ First rnz.co.nz/news/political…
English
@ClintVSmith Ironic thing is that voters won't get stability from Labour but people are stupid. National just needs to handle the fact that it may be a less than 5% gap between them and NZ First amd keep the right in govt

@passport_soccer Need Joe Bell next to Stamanic he is they key guy keeping possession and pressing when we lose it. We ain't playing bad teams we need a more defensive minded guy in there

@TheRedbaiter He was always a labor mp in a blue disguise. Look at his track record
English
Ex National MP Chris Finlayson on Radio NZ this morning-
"I think they are the enemy, and I think the best thing the National Party can do is try and extricate themselves from this grisly coalition and declare war on New Zealand First"
Why did Radio NZ see fit to seek out Mr Finlayson for comment on this issue? They admit in their introduction he is no fan of NZ First.
Such a provocative comment as above, and calling NZ First an "excrescence" is what some might call extreme language.
The question the interview raises is - "did the National party nudge Mr Finlayson to appear on Radio NZ and do they endorse his comments about their coalition partner?"
It looks like this is an act either to provoke Mr Peters, and/or to provide an excuse for National to dissolve the coalition and call an early election.
Or maybe not. It might be just the far left activists at Radio NZ up to their usual subversive tricks.

@FurtureRichKid Time to cash in some chips on this and lock in the gains

@tauhenare @winstonpeters He can't sack him the polls are so bad right now and Winston knows it. National are hoping things improve before the election they ain't calling one esrly

In another time but same place, PM Shipley sacked @WinstonPeters. The days of strong Leadership have gone. Luxon is just a pussy. Scared of losing.

@VictoriaViorela You are just looking at charts and not understanding the business. If you want to trade thats fine but if you don't want to watch all day and have a life just buy it like we did at 200 and sleep at night

@liamvincent26 I mean it will be 20% and you are missing the bigger picture and policy's that is making him popular right now

Winston Peters’ big policies going into the election is cutting off the immigration that makes it possible to fund the superannuitant welfare state he loves.
And 15% of the country are buying it.
English
@TheZeitgeistNZ And raise the retirement rate as well as drastically reduce government spending and you could then drastically lower tax for low and middle income family's
English
We should gradually increase the KiwiSaver contribution rate over coming decades until most people can fund their retirement through it, then means test superannuation so that it becomes a top up for those whose KiwiSaver balances are too low.
Winston Peters@winstonpeters
Chris Hipkins has said that Labour is willing to means test superannuation that would affect hundreds of thousands of kiwi seniors - just like they did in the 1980s. ‘Means testing’ is another way of saying the government will be able to refuse to give you your retirement super income if they decide you don’t deserve it. As the saying goes, when the going gets tough they always go after the young and the old first. Our Kiwi Super is not a benefit, it is a long standing Kiwi entitlement. Kiwis who are 65 or above have worked 30,40, sometimes 50 years paying taxes and building this country. We have an obligation as a government to look after our seniors in their retirement and protect their super. We demanded in our coalition agreement that super won’t be touched - this will never change while NZFirst has a say. NZFirst is the only party that will never allow the hard-fought Kiwi super to be hacked away from our seniors for any short term gain - the rest want to attack it and take it away.
