Kiwibuild Is Not ‘Alive and Well’

Megan Woods’ claim that KiwiBuild is ‘alive and well’ is truly extraordinary, National’s Housing spokesperson Chris Bishop says. “KiwiBuild has delivered just over 1300 homes in nearly four years of operation – just 1.3 per cent of its 100,000 target. “In what universe is that ‘alive and well’

Attack Ad Puts Ball in Luxon’s Court  

The preoccupied media largely ignored National’s conference in Hamilton at the weekend. Not to worry, Grant Robertson to the rescue, putting the spotlight firmly back on Luxon on the eve of Ardern’s White House visit, with his revealing attack ad on National.

Dutton Sets His Stamp on Party

As Anthony Albanese laughably claims a “clear mandate” to govern — despite recording the party’s lowest vote in a century, with less than one-third of voters picking Labor — Peter Dutton is getting down to the tough job of rallying the defeated Liberal party. (A party which actually recorded a
