I like the sound of that food order you did in 2016 Nick. I was wondering where the PM bought the KFC - did he stop in a street in the helicopter somewhere? I am sure the locals could do with the business. It's good Buxom is going to Waitangi and I disrespectfully hope someone finds a dildo. On the Modern Slavery Bill, as you can imagine, I am outraged at ACT. If Luxon had any gumption. he would remove that van Velden creature from that portfolio asap. Why the hell he let that happen I don't know. I saw a really ridiculous thing from Brooke the other day where she is working on "common sense" health and safety solutions with Labs, like not having to have the Lab on the first floor! She reckoned it would save $3b. I just thought what is she on? I was a bit peeved at the reporting on Camilla's Bill ; anyone would think it was all Greg whatsisname's idea. Camilla has had a Modern Slavery bill in the ballot for months. She has also two Members' bills go through ; one on wage theft and one on Pay transparency by getting either NZ First or National to support it. Both now law. It its rare for an opposition MP to get a bill through, let alone two, soon to be three. She is a really top notch Labour MP. who knows her stuff and has impeccable workers rights credentials.
Not an Uber driver Nick, it's Super PM Man ! able to leap 7 properties in a single tax exempt bound.
Every public move/decision made by Chris reeks of orchestration, as in 'this will be good PR for me, it will benefit me, this will make look like a man of the people, being there when it matters'.
No numbnuts, it won't, because you are veneer thin, we see right through your tokenism and shallow half truths.
. Your MP'S are inept, ineffectual and the cracks are showing, or in Gerry Brownlee's case bum cracks .
Thanks Nick, for covering the latest shit-show. So much going on it's hard to keep up, and you are keeping your finger right on the button!
KFC? I have no idea how much that cost...and surely it would have been a bucket of cold grease by the time it got to the people? Maybe the assumption from the Luxonites is that the people (bottom feeders) would be GRATEFUL? Chickens coming home to roost?
And I agree with...SUCH stereotyping (sorry for the shouting BUT!!!)? Why didn't they have a whole lot of lunches made up that could have also catered for dietary needs? So many people can't eat that factory farmed fried shit. Oh yeah, that's right....that is a concept beyond their comprehension. Just another empty gesture and photo op.
STILL attacking Labour, Simeon? Especially when the evidence is it was your cuts that are causing a string of outages. I can only admire the staff continuing to work and help each other and their patients under such circumstances. Never mind the green shoots.....theses are undoubtedly signs of panic from the CoC (except for ACT...they remain scarily confident).
Brook van Velden.....she looks like a wannabe pugilist with her chin stuck out for any challengers. Her entire track record in parliament has been a disaster for every portfolio she has contaminated, and the people impacted..like with Health and Safety. Hopefully she'll be out at the election.
Something that didn't get a lot of coverage last week, was the visit of fascist Reform board member Gawain Tosser (sorry, Towler, although I'm not sure that's much better!) to strengthen ties with NZ First, meeting with Winston Peters and Shame Jones for talks on strategy, policy and the challenges of power. Definitely NOT NZ First any more!
Bit cross, going to have a nice cup of tea and a biccy. Have a fab day everyone...despite this ridiculousness!
This craven behaviour by the PM is most certainly in the category of making people a bit cross and in need of a cup of tea and a bicci, almost in the region of needing a lie down too. What on earth was he hoping to achieve? I think he needs better advisors (or maybe not if we want this lot ditched from parliament). He clearly hasn’t heard of that staple of community gatherings to help others, the filled roll.
Brook van Velden has underscored just what kind of person she is.
Simeon Brown, still blaming Labour in an attempt to cover up his own incompetence, has reaffirmed his image of shifty school boy trying to cover up his misdeeds.
Having this lot in power is like watching a bad movie on a loop.
I think I might have to raise my irritation level to very cross, throw caution to the wind and have a coffee and two bickies.
You’ve pretty much said everything I was going to, Katie, so thanks for saving me the trouble🙂. I was wondering what Luxo had brought for the vegan and vegetarian members of the recovery team to eat. There’s a few things that show Luxo realises his popularity is in deep shit which he is trying (incredibly hard) to rectify, all of which are, coincidentally, great opportunities for photo shoots to let us see what a great guy he is, if we can bother to “get to know him”
The fact he turned up at all to the landslide site,(no doubt on the advice of his PR team), to show some support for the community.
His sudden decision to go to Waitangi, after all. I’m sure he would rather have his fingernails pulled out than have to be there,
but sometimes you have to make hard choices, speaking of which….
Seems like Simeon’s attacked Labour for yet another failure of his own making, the IT outage causing havoc for the health system country wide. I would suggest to Luxo that Simeon obviously isn’t fit for purpose in his current role, so with the departure of Judith he could probably take up the part of Minister of Defence. What could possibly go wrong???
NEWSFLASH!!! Incredibly, Luxo does what’s right!!!!!!!
Not only was I pleased to read about this, I sent my thoughts to the Herald when I saw it,( yeah I know, the tragic optimism is still alive and kicking).
I wonder if he’s finally waking up to reality and maybe his idol isn’t the greatest role model to follow. We can dream…..letter below. I thought I’d share it with you before the FBI or ICE come knocking🙂
I was pleased to read that Christopher Luxon declined Trump’s invitation to join his Board of Peace. Trump has three loves in life: power, unlimited wealth and himself. He has proven time and again he has no compassion for the victims of climate crisis, war, pandemic or any other issues which involve the loss of lives across the globe. He knows he is the most powerful person on earth, but he’s not the wealthiest. The billion dollar entry fee would help cure that embarrassment for him. As Chair of the board he holds total control over what happens to any donations given by members. He’s been bankrupt five or six times, which proves he has no business acumen, but will penalise anyone who disagrees with him on any subject. Have we forgotten about his luxurious casino project in
Gaza once all its citizens have been “relocated”?
He has no conscience. He wants the world to bend to whatever whim he comes up with. May Luxon’s denial to become part of this farcical conspiracy last long enough to be heard around and followed by all nations not entrapped already.
Van Velden's focus is on "reforms to the Holidays Act, health and safety and an Employment Relations Amendment Bill." and every other thing she can think of to support her donors and keep working people in a low wage environment. She has clearly never had to "work" for a living at a job that requires each of her above pieces of legislation to enhance outcomes for workers not make things worse which is her intention. Only under Luxton's leadership has it been possible for such uncaring, incompetent numpties across so many portfolios to be appointed Ministers.
Trying to get a photo-op out of disaster events! The difference between Jacinda and the lux is obvious to those who can actually "see" compared to those who are "blind" to human interaction. There are recognised human conditions of behaviour that do have labels and the effects can be easily identified, but are not generally discussed. The lux and his followers likely include many of such, which is not any inhibiting factor if others and the persons with some condition are aware. But, it IS a problem if those with such conditions are not aware, especially if any are in a position of power. A practical example would be the lux and followers are simply NOT ABLE to understand what motivated Jacinda
I wonder where PM gets his ideas for a good thing to do? A number 8 ball? Surely paying someone local to make food would have been a better look. And a blue suit...is that all he has?
KFC??? OMG...do they have power to heat it up. So inappropriate to give them fatty, slimy greasy food. I use to work at KFC and now I am allergic even to the smell-its disgusting food.
'Tricia' says Van Velden is “immature, inexperienced and raised in a sheltered, entitled environment."
She is being diplomatic.
I call her a private school educated upstart who thinks she is superior to the rest of us but in reality, she's wet behind the ears and needs a good whack across the backside - metaphorically speaking of course.
But but but Brook "I am a strong woman" and will use the famous C word in Parliament and not be chastised by Gerry!!
Luxon with his KFC donation would have thought that's the right food for those bottom feeders. Much more practical is (Nick) the stuffed chooks, eggs, pumpkin etc, although I suppose the Luxon 'gift' better than nothing! At least it showed that he realised that workers need to eat.
I've heard a couple of interviews with him lately where he has come across quite practical and has not jumped on the Labour bashing bandwagon, he also appears quite open to cross party talks and agreements. I get the feeling he would like to be less reliant on ACT

'DITCH THE PRICKS IN 26' !
Who paid for the KFC ?
Loaves of bread & marmite/vegemite and apples surely would have been appreciated.
Hah. I'm guessing KFC is cheaper !!!
FFS
Get them outta here!
Ditch the pricks 2026.
On it boss .
Regarding the 'ditch' slogan, 4 more pricks were ditched at 12:38 pm today.
It's on, like Donkey Kong!
(
I thought it was dreadful too. Junk food not real kai and the idiot dressed in a suit. I would have enjoyed getting mud on his shoes, at least.
Or was it 'Product Placement'?
A nice directorship for Luxon for "services rendered" after he gets the boot?
love it !
Yep that sounds right. There would have to be an angle and one that benefits him.
Excellent contribution Nick! Every word is true and that’s more than you can say for the COC! So keep up your good work it is highly valued!

A cringeworthy marketing stunt! How inept and callous! Sense and sensibility missing in this PM (and his PR team), let alone empathy.
Van Velden continues to display ignorance of a moral code.

Chris and Christopher brought to you by KFC. Great marketing.
3 of the most out of touch MPs in our country. I find myself liking Chris Bishop more and more
Wouldn’t go quite that far!
Lol, I know, but they are so bad he's good in comparison, it's a low bar.
Eww. You're joking, I hope. 'Best of a bad lot' isn't good enough.
I've heard a couple of interviews with him lately where he has come across quite practical and has not jumped on the Labour bashing bandwagon, he also appears quite open to cross party talks and agreements. I get the feeling he would like to be less reliant on ACT
Wow! Two decisions from Luxon I agree with! Not joining Trump and going to Waitangi.
Must be election year! Maybe he’s noticed how Māori have responded to the disasters at Punaruku Ngāti Porou and Punaruku Ngāti Wai.
Let’s see how long he stays at Waitangi and who he mixes with.
