He's a Mahuta toadie. Will go down like a lead balloon with Ngapuhi and even more so with Ngati Hine in Tai Tokerau. But that's the point to Nanaia. Rub their noses in it. Cindy has no idea what she is unleashing. There is an awful lot of tribal scores to settle that she has no comprehension of.
Send her back to the fish and chip shop (Cindy). It's about her level of capability.
:eek2: The PM appointed Luxon as Chair of her Business Advisory Council, how ironic to cite Nationals "selection criteria".
"The Prime Minister and the Chair, working together, will identify potential members to participate. Members are appointed for their ability to think strategically about the economic and business environment, and as such are expected to take a broad view beyond their specific sector interests."
Interesting !
Some high praise indeed for the success of Labour's housing policy from none other than the National's Hamilton West candidate Tama Pokata.
"You either love them or hate them and right now love them. Awesome. Especially those guys at the Ministry of Housing & Urban Development."
He also praised current & past Ministers of Housing, Megan Woods & Nick Smith.
Seems a bit off message for the opposition supposed to be attacking the govt on housing. Chris Bishop & Nicola Willis will be furious.

A distortion of the housing market is the entry point.
I had three calls within a week from people in the same office, who were so desperate to give figures to the Minister, that they didn't know what the person in the desk to them was doing.
They then lied to the public around the figures of new housing, as the figures I had were already permitted, not new housing stock at all.
Cindy is all about the optics and nothing to do with the truth. I can only hope she is toast with the UN as the damage she would do there is hard to limit. Helen Clark might just be smart enough to cut her loose.
Interesting, Newhub's political editor, Jenna Lynch is married to ACT's David Seymour's Chief of Staff.
You can see a very clear & strong bias with her choice of words in her pieces (anti Jacinda Adern ) & frothiness over things like the latest poll results.
Not good for a big media organisation or at least one that tries to present itself as objective to have a political editor with such a heavy bias against the current government & the Greens.
The alternative though is relatively easy to run against:
Take away one public holiday.
100 bucks for a minimum wage earner and NZ pensioner but $18k for Lux.
Health increase less than the CPI "for some years".
Hmmm, no thanks.
Remember what Ardern & her useless mob are about as Election 2023 looms :
"Study hard, work hard, save hard and be frugal.
Labour will tax the hell out of you and give to those who don't.
Breed more beneficiaries & losers - vote Labour & Ardern."

Yet another example of just how pro-criminal & completely hopeless Ardern & her useless mob are:
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/polit...appointed.html
Excerpt : "Newshub can reveal a $20 million fund set up by the Government to support victims of non-fatal strangulation has actually helped more alleged perpetrators than it has victims.
It can also be revealed that despite promising to have specific staff in our country's courts trained to recognise the signs of family or sexual violence, the Government's failed to introduce a single one."
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/polit...n-victims.html
Allan didn't provide an explanation for why more defendants are accessing experts in non-fatal strangulation cases than victims.
Leftie academic Chris Trotter spelling out how dangerous and scary Labour has become. His referencing of the Stasi and, if it wasn't so serious, comically stupid actions and collusion between Kitteridge and the Disinformation Project, coming from someone of his stature on the Left is telling. Trotter goes as far as saying Ardern's regime has a totalitarian mindset and also slams their buying off of the media and the strings attached to media outlets taking funding. Says he won't be voting Labour...and can't even use the Greens a backup position.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEeRH3TbrqY
No wonder the Labour party conference was such a confused mess of panic.
Chris Trotter is certainly not holding back - any love he felt for Labour is long gone and it is clear he has nothing but contempt and disgust for the Mistress of Spin.
A good read indeed of just how rotten and useless Ardern & her mob are :
https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2022/11/0...than-it-looks/
"Virtually every claim made by the Prime Minister in the passage quoted above is either historically contestable, or just plain, flat-out, wrong. For that very reason, it is a powerful illustration of the deeply flawed thinking that has led the Ardern Government to the brink of electoral ruin.
At its heart is a cynical contempt for the truth, and a smug conviction that the falsehoods scattered through it will not be noticed by anybody whose opinion matters. Labour’s leaders have been able to get away with this sort of rhetorical flim-flam since 2017 because the intervention of the unpredictable – Christchurch, Covid – helpfully distracted the country from its government’s moral vacuity. The longer the electorate has had to take stock of its government’s ethics, however, the less it has found to like."
In other words, Chris Trotter is calling Ardern a lying hypocrite.
Immigration policy needs to work in with other aspects of government, including provision of infrastructure and housing. So failure in infrastructure planning does not necessarily mean fewer people is great. Fewer people can expose failures in other areas of government services, especially where inadequacies were hidden by the arrival of willing immigrants.
Maybe economic growth off the back of an increasing population was needed to provide the funds for funding the adequate infrastructure for a smaller population. A type pf Ponzi system based on an ever increasing population...It was easier politically than increasing the productivity of working age people already here.
And according to TV3 poll of perception yesterday, Ardern is now associated with fake, useless, incompetent, arrogant, disappointing, unreliable, annoying and of course, liar.
Hardly surprising but NZ is paying a very heavy price for falling under the spell of the mistress of spin in the last 5 years.
