Never b4 in NZ has there been such a detailed 3-way coalition agreement. Never b4 has it been transparently made public so the electorate knows the coalitions policy plans in advance. Never b4 have 2 minor parties had 3 ministers inside cabinet. This truly is an MMP Govt

What a shocking 😮 state the ⁦ @nzlabour ⁩ govt and minister ⁦ @andrewlittle_nz ⁩ left the NZ Defence force in. The elite NZSAS on the verge of collapse, naval ships unable to leave port & surveillance planes unable to fly.

Some school principals are worried about anti civid vax people standing for school boards. What the hell? Are we going to have the govt selecting who can/can’t stand for election?
