Wendy Geus: When the Govt Endorses Nepotism


NZers were forced to read the tea leaves regarding Labour’s (hidden) 2020 election manifesto whilst, behind the scenes, the taxpayer-funded Mahuta family worked on the He Puapua policy.

Recently Grant Robertson joined in the discussion around the US Supreme Court decision on abortion and did some tea-leaf reading of his own around Christopher Luxon’s promise that he would not relitigate or change our abortion law, passed before he entered parliament, if he became PM.

(Paddy Gower on the Nation made a vicious attack on Luxon’s stance, including wrongly accusing him of voting for the NZ bill, for which Simon Shepherd made a sheepish apology on his behalf the following week.)
