    I doubt it - far to many words for you but an link would have been the right thing to do if you are going to quote something.

    Doesn't change a thing - he ignored your opinion and took that of NewTalk ZB (Kerre and Heather it seems by his admission). Part of the woke right rather than woke left (Kerre got a lot of stick on Talkback for raising it).

    Fill your boots. I wouldn't live in that dump either.

    I am also disappointed that he folded so fast, and credited his decision to listening to a few yahoos on talkback.

    He obviously wanted to get this behind him as fast as possible, but I think he just looks foolish now.

    Is Willie Jackson offering to pay the allowance he has claimed so far to live in his own property back? No.

    Are the media even following up and asking him to? Of course not. Probably racist these days to even ask him.

    He has a lot to learn has Luxon but one thing he has is what is called 'drop dead' or in today's language 'Fxxk off' money - something that the woke leftist journalists will never have.

    But let one of the commentators articulate what's happening :

    " ..... he probably just didn't care much about about the money or the issue. Maybe a case of don't worry about the small issues , just win the war. And he's certainly winning the war. And the tax issues will be discussed in a few weeks with the pre budget announcements.

    Mr Luxon's last reported salary at Air NZ WAS $4.4 million plus bonuses, so he isn't in this for the money.

    The more interesting reality is that so many Labourites were doing the same thing. Where's the media outrage about that ? Your right what are they supposed to do, pitch a tent in Parliament gardens ? What this story has done is reinforce the public's contempt for the media. Again."

    In a media conference this arvo the PM confirmed that some maintenance work has been taking place at PH and for that reason (security) the building has been unavailable to him. This whole issue is a pathetic storm in a teacup. The media is so ridiculous that despite a major announcement on transport from the Government today, the stupid journalists were really only interested in asking questions about Premier House and Newshub. And they are surprised the public is no longer interested in watching and listening to them.

    $30M to do up Premier House?

    Really?

    Can anyone think of a less meritorious building & grounds to spend even 25% of that sum on?

    A fortune was spent on restoring the Governor Generals official residence, at least it has sunny gardens, and will become vacant if NZ becomes a republic.

    In the meantime reinstate Lux's $52K rent.
    That bloke is an absolute bargain by comparison!

    He should never have been in a position to fold - an own goal by the PM.

    How about the fortune that was coughed up to tidy up the shambles Trev the Terrible
    made of Parliamentary gardens before being given an Irish holiday on full perks ?


    It's only a mere $30 M .. Look at at the $500 M Labour spent on Three Idiots on Water
    with not one water pipe or water supply improvement touched on in the process.

    The Local Bodies had the party of their lives p!ssing all the Govt dough up against
    anything that touched their fancies like there was no tomorrow ..

    And the grandiose squander up on Auckland Light Rail which didn't produce much
    more than Three Idiots on Water for all the large wad purported thrown at things

    Why stop at a measily $30 M .. do the job properly so it looks like a real Leader's retreat
    - why not $100 M to properly do it no corners taken off along the way

    After all Labour had no issues with firing larger bucketfuls at the wall & had nothing to show
    for the exercise when it came to their day of reckoning & Joe Public exacting punishment
    in the form of a herd of No. 8's up the jacksies of the Comrades dispatched down the road


    A mere $30 M is nothing compared to Robbo's large creative Hole left behind after b*llsh**ying
    everyone that everything was rocking along just fine without any issues, until he got found out
    and went silent leaving all the peasants buried in large circles of COL spirals and heading
    towards becoming destitute courtesy of the doings of the clueless huddle of Labour d!ckheads
    who had no idea of what they were doing & how to get there without producing a larger shambles

    And don’t forget the $51m spent and wasted on the bike bridge to nowhere - there is change left of $21m if the money was spent on Premier House.

    Ardern and Hipkins sure know how to pxss $$$ down the drain.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politi...DG27K4C63BQFI/

    Labour slams Government for hiking fuel tax by 22c next term, increasing regos by $50, slashing public transport cash


    Hapless Hipkins drops a spewie on Transport from the smoking ashes of an ejected Labour huddle

    The bulk of today's pothole population are likely from Labour's & your Govt's terms

    Just cost a heap more to fix the jobs than when your clueless mob were sifting around ignoring them all


    No-one will forget this announcement from the Hapless Hipkins & Comrade Pothole "Tax everything like no tomorrow" Parker in the recent past - back on 17 Aug 2023:


    https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political...r-consultation

    Government releases 10-year transport plan for consultation

    Probably more like the 10 year plan that got Labour kicked out

    and more like the 10 year plan that will keep Labour out of power for longer than 10 years too
