Questions to Ministers Hon PAULA BENNETT to the Prime Minister: Does she stand by all her Government’s statements and actions regarding gangs? WILLOW-JEAN PRIME to the Minister of Finance: What recent reports has he seen on the New Zealand economy? Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH to the Minister of Finance:
Simon Bridges is all over the show regarding working with Winston Peters. Just last week he said he couldn’t trust Winston Peters and ruled out the possibility of a deal to form a government: “I can’t trust New Zealand First and don’t think New Zealanders can either,
The poll news just keeps getting worse for Simon Bridges. Newshub/Reid Research have released their favourability ratings and Simon Bridges is almost as bad as Jeremy Corbyn: The latest Newshub-Reid Research poll has revealed New Zealanders’ thoughts on Simon Bridges and Jacinda Ardern‘s performance – and the Prime

Information Satire. The Iowa caucus to decide the Democrat candidate has been mired in delays and confusion because of the dire effects of climate change.

Lester Gray has been busily leaking documents to media in order to get even with NZ First. We outed his friendly media hacks last week and now he is going to find himself having his collar felt: NZ First leader Winston Peters has asked his party’s president to prepare
Keep this post handy, because it shows the risk to National MPs as their party vote slumps. Last election National wound up on 44% which gave them 40 electorate MPs and 15 List MPs. Every percentage point they drop means some MPs won’t be returning to parliament. Right now
The Newshub/Reid Research poll had another piece of bad news for Simon Bridges. The voters don’t like his captain’s call over NZ First. Worse, for Bridges, they actually want them to work together. With the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll showing National and Labour neck-and-neck,
