Such glaring, unforgivable, incompetence but Willis must be fulfilling "someone's/something's" agenda for her to be able to still be there. I've never been a person to swear, but lately?
I overlook the Wellington Harbour entrance so count the comings and goings of Ferries as part of my day. I worry for those who will have to work on these ships as we move to 2029. K can't believe the incompetence of NW. It seems obvious she could find a ''toyota'. She gets an A for spite, She failed all other competencies.
I have started calling her Wicola Nillus, sorta fits alice In Wonderland kinda genre, and wondering htf she got there in the 1st place. Thank goodness her hair style didn't catch on..........and I love hair and self expression..........but imagine being in town and seeing a lot of hair like that..........I would go into town even less..........just coz of the trauma of association with that look. BUT, I don't think thats gonna happen. Wicola Nillus will forever be Nicola No Boats.
It's like we've all woken up to find the country has fallen down the rabbit Warren in Alice through the looking glass. I use the phrase 'I have discharged my duties today', to my partner, said in jest after cooking a meal. But for a minister of the crown to declare this is plain barking mad! I can picture Willis wandering around the beehive screaming "off with their heads!!!". In what crazy parallel universe did kiwis EVER believe this nutter and her entourage ever deliver a fiscal policy to serve our best interests? How do you maintain your himour and sanity Nick? I just can't keep up
Yeah, nah. The ship building company had allowed us to LOCK IN pre-inflationary era prices in 2021 and surely CHEERED when Nicola officially notified them WE WERE the misguided ones reneging on the deal. They’d maybe let us back in the cue at TODAY’S PRICES which all agree are 35%-40% higher than what we had shrewdly locked-in 3+ years ago…
This will go down in Finance Minister history as one of the top bone-headed moves ever.
A great read Nick, and yeah the really important stuff is at the end, about your mum and dad, 60 years and honouring family and aroha. Wicola Nillus off the hook, a cunning duck, and 60 years down the track it could become the biggest fiasco and stupid move of the century. Njoy that family celebration. What a lovely tribute.
Talk about the light and dark of - it the yin and yang of it .... reading yet again the full measure of the nastiness, arrogance and incompetence of Willis v the pleasure of reading about your parents' lovely marriage and anniversary and your happy childhood, I was so fortunate to have had the same, you draw strength from that your whole life I've found especially when times get grim. PS why is it the National Party attracts narcissists? although my Mum used to say "Tories are the same the world over!"
Loved this one, perfect fairy tail, just waiting for Labour to be the white knight!
If only it wasn’t true 😣
Congrats to your parents. I, too, was privileged to have amazing parents and totally understand the depth of your feelings and pride.
Enjoy the celebrations 🎉🥳
I agree Jo!
We hope to have 60 years next May. It is a marvellous milestone.
All the very best to them, and to the wider family.
Good read Nick. I weep with you about the incompetence and celebrate your parents anniversary.
I'm going to spend Xmas actively not thinking about our disastrous gummint. 60 years married that's momentous what a fabulous family you have ❤️❤️❤️

Kōrero perfection - nothing to add

Maybe, with her Uni studies in English Lit and Journalism, Nicola can WRITE her way out of this fiscal mess she’s created for us?
Nicola Willis = Liz Truss

Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs Rockel
Enjoyed your post Nick. Congratulations to your parents. The Finns are National treasures.
Now THATs a love story! 💚💙🩵 for your whole whanau. Beautiful
Maybe Winston can revive the original iRex deal - a big win for all of us and especially for him!!

Thanks for that Mark, I can put that hope to rest. Yup it will be blooper of the century kinda fodder.
yes, I have been wondering if that is still possible.......penalties and all.
