Listen to ex National Party leader Don Brash talking to Mike Hosking this morning about possibilities for National's future leadership.
“When I stepped down in late 2006, John Key clearly had a substantial majority, but Bill also had very loyal supporters and they got together and did a deal.”
I understand the concerns expressed below but here are some thoughts. It seems to me that Mr Luxon is a smart guy. If an idea is a bad idea it is usually a bad idea on multiple fronts, and can be attacked from multiple angles. Three waters is clearly in this category. If Mr Luxon can show the folly of this idea on the grounds that it is a misappropriation of ratepayer assets, its governance structure is confused and contradictory, that some council water assets are already well managed etc ... then why court controversy? Proponents of woke don't get to dominate the airwaves, and the same end point is achieved. Further, Labour learned long ago that the see-sawing …
Luxon is all for implementing the UNDRIP. It seems he doesn't even realise that these part-Maori are not in anyway indigenous. They came from the Pacific Islands, and boast about their navigation skills in doing it, They verbally recorded that wherever they landed in New Zealand, there were other people here already. Furthermore, the Maori part of their DNA shows they originated in the area we now know as Viet Nam. If Luxon is going to pursue this fairy-tale of part-Maori being indigenous, then New Zealand will continue to destroy itself by electing the mentally woke.
What we need is what Don Brash stated in 2003, that New Zealand needed to be one people (New Zealanders) and be ruled by…
Looks like another case of here we go again, Key V2
Not holding my breath for one minute with this bloke.
Luxon had the chance to show some real metal this morning on the AM show and failed when asked about vigilante groups closing the northland border.
An opportunity to show NZ he means business, his answer was as woke as the next contestant in the revolving popularity contest. When self imposed vigilantes can stop and detain the public with or without police involvement, we have a major issue. Even worse when we don’t have a party that opposes it. It also shows the wokeness within the police, they have capitulated. Correct if I am wrong, but I cannot remembe…
Nicola Willis as Leader with Shane Reti continuing as deputy. Solid performers, good professional backgrounds - they have both contributed outside politics. Competent and fairminded, not hung up on woke theory. I think they would provide real contarst to the Labour front bench.
I don't believe the caucus will give Simon another shot - they are all too woke and have no backbone - the situation is serious. If Luxon gets the nod, remember he is very new to politics and he also pushes the religion thing.....
I can't see him standing up to Jacinda......
He is not battle hardened - I sense National sliding closer than ever towards Labour policies.....
The globalists are at work.....
We desperately need a Party with direction - Australia are in the same boat and a new Party is emerging - we need the same.....
