Kiwi in Aotearoa who is proudly left-of, left-of centre. Comments are my own and probably dodgy. Concerned about climate change and inequality and votes accordingly. Proud supporter of Te Reo and toitu Te Tiriti.

Cartoon. Title: “Carpet Moth” Luxon as a moth, bumbling around a light bulb with “USA” written on it. There are hands at the bottom, holding reporter’s pads and a piece of paper with “US and Israel Attack Iran” Luxon is saying, “we support any action the US takes…Uh…Did I say…well, I meant…Except, Um, …Maybe not…Carpet Bombing?” Then down the bottom it says, “And with that, he bombed into the carpet”

Former leader Ardern has left New Zealand. She’s not the only one | CNN Twenty years of memories spilled across Jacinda Thorn’s yard. Teddy bears and textbooks, a jumble of whisks and frying pans catching the morning sun.

Back on track eh?

“Kiwis are not moving for a few years of better pay anymore,” he told CNN. “They’re moving permanently to rebuild their lives… driven by hope for stability, opportunity and fairness.”

Leading the charge are essential workers like nurses, police officers, teachers and tradespeople

Over the past four years, the number of New Zealanders aged 30-50 emigrating has more than doubled – from 18,000 to 43,000 – fueled by rising living costs and a weakening job market, demographers told CNN.

Yep
Peters could end it all - cut and run

I think if there is a no confidence vote (say, Peters withdraws it) and no one can form a majority government, there will be an election

Luxon faces existential threat after torrid week and damning poll Comment: The risks associated with a change of Prime Minister may be outweighed by the incumbent's growing resemblance to a wounded animal

Ouch!

“the current reality facing National: that of a leader and Prime Minister who resembles a wounded animal, trying to find shelter and praying for a miraculous recovery.”

Im getting early election vibes. Economy will not recover due to Middle East crisis, prices will continue to rise and a mean budget on the way. Who will be first to cut and run?

Im also betting that Judith Colins is happily stabbing away as she exits the door

What are the odds for an early election?
- the economy not recovering - and likley to get worse due to Middle East
- prices risig for essentials (see above)
Cut losses and run?

I stopped watching 1News 1 month before the last election because of its obvious bias.
