"We can't afford to build a port for the cook straight ferry, but we can build one for the #NaturalGas no one wants to use" is a wild stance for a govt. that claims to accept the reality of #ClimateChange

"Now what happens to Winston Peters doesn't matter. But what happens to the people does."

It's hard to believe now given the smiling crocodile he's become. Political principles up for auction, doing whatever is best for Winston Peters and bugger anyone else. I think at the time he really meant this.
His corruption is perhaps the saddest political story of NZ corporatism.
Another one from the 'oooh, that didn't age well' files;
"This year we are fortunate that New Zealand First will be the strongest has ever been and that will present a chance to change the system away from pure neo-liberal ideals which have let us down and collapsed most of provincial New Zealand."

No, New Zealand does not need nuclear power.
We have plenty of cheap, safe, renewable energy sources at the ready. Chief among them offshore wind power which this muppet is pushing away in favour of seabed mining.
Also, awful to see him ramping up the climate denial, racism, and xenophobic discourse.
They might smell election time coming.

Shane Jones arrived wearing a rather gay powder puff blue suit, surely an unspoken symbol of his ongoing solidarity with rainbow people.
The atmosphere in the audience gave off a tangy mix of Grecian 2000 masking unjustified disappointment, tinged with the lightly burnt odour of unfulfilled dreams.
While there was none of that woke masking nonsense and only a single cooker wore a Maga hat, the average IQ in the room could easily be defined by the fact that these people have a shared belief that Shane Jones is some sort of gifted thinker.
