Luxon

[Lilith7]

"Let’s be clear just who it is that Luxon is writing off here. His “bottom feeding” category includes the people who stack the supermarket shelves and run the checkout tills, the nurses who care for the aged, the cleaners, the security guards, the people who drive ambulances, the baggage handlers, the teacher aides, the people who take out the rubbish and the people who serve him his coffee. Plus every solo parent trying to raise a child on a benefit, everyone on a sickness benefit or everyone suffering with mental health problems."

Dear Jaysus! HOW the devil can anyone - even a National party leader - be so ignorant & out of touch? The damned fool hasn't the least idea just how difficult it is for most people - & has the cheek to label them 'bottom feeders' when surely even he must have heard just how vital cleaners, nurses & the others he merrily labels were to NZ & virtually every country affected by covid; & still are.

That second footnote is horrifying; not only does he not know how things are for many people now, he doesn't want to know.

And as for Nicola Willis being 'liberal' - I'd say she's likely to be every bit as liberal as Ruth Richardson was.
