I imagine that it would be difficult to know what to do with it initially especially as it's such a minute % of what's needed and required

Wairoa Mayor Craig Little said Wairoa had received $100,000, yes 100k, from Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery Mark Mitchell for flood relief and $100,000 from Hawke’s Bay Regional Council to help with the removal of insulation under homes.

Just to repeat, $100k from the Govt.

tbh it would be great if journalists challenged all of them on everything on camera, we'd get far more information/answers, it would keep the pressure on particularly regarding their word salad vocabulary

Luxon says he's "very proud" of what the government has delivered with cancer drugs "I think we've got to a much better result and better outcome in the end"

Yet still no apology for the grief caused and the stress caused. Maybe they're filed under U for useless where the Uffindell report is #nzpol

Talking about Te Pūkenga, Luxon says disestablishment is coming in the next few weeks "It's been a mess for the last six years, there's a lot to unpack"

The government is ambitious, he says. "That's what's needed in a turnaround job."

I feel a new bingo addition 'turnaround job'

Regarding congestion charging Luxon was asked by reporters given he says it is about changing behaviour rather than raising revenue, if the money raised would be returned to the location it came from. Luxon says those decisions are still to be taken.
Funny that

What really made my skin crawl yesterday is that not only did he fail on his campaign promises he then yielded to public pressure when they handed his arse on a silver platter and yesterday he had the gall to seek praise. Delusions of grandeur goes nowhere near #nzpol

"Why wait until October? Do it now. We've been waiting over 20 years for a new bowel drug to be funded - 20 years, now we have to wait until October?"

Cetuximab is delivered intravenously - so it was likely Mandy Grantley will wait longer than others taking oral medicines.

Expertise takes years yet gone due to 7 months of absurd negligence, they need to focus on grass roots here and stop these attempts to impress leaders overseas. They're abusing people and as shows with the so called conservation minister they're abusing the country.
