    This would have been a great experience. This fantastic building has been a focus for a hundred? years.

    In time there might be a research student peering into fractured bits of New Zealand/Aotearoa's models for government and social advancement, or not. Gaudi's drawings, working papers were lost in the Spanish Civil War – their own war, and his precise clay models were smashed.

    We now have our destructive element of vulgarised beings flooding the country's electorates, smashing and despoiling all our past efforts to shine a lighthouse beacon to the world environmentally, socially and yes, adopting improved business and community models similar to progressive countries more advanced than we.- God's Own Country as we used to refer to it.

    I think near the beginning of each month approaching the election we should be invited to name a known New Zealander with a 50 word legend on what he/she has done for NZ/AO good.

    Guyon Espinar interviews the leader of the opportunities party.

    She's pretty good ,

    • Mercurio 2.1

      So's Winston. So's Seymour. So was Dunne.

    • SPC 2.2

      She is heading the front created by Morgan to build a rentier economy, by dividing resistance to it.

      • mikesh 2.2.1

        I think Opportunity’s “citizens income” may need some form of rent control if that income, in the hands of tenants, may be eaten up by rent increases.

    So's Winston. So's Seymour. So was Dunne

    She's taking winston and corrupt Jones head on if you watch ,

    Seymour is an obnoxious twit.

    Dunne the grey is long gone ,

    I was picking up what she was putting down my brother

    Police Minister Mark Mitchell was first on scene, raising questions about what information Naidoo may have had access to.

    (Police Commissioner) Chambers launching a review to find out whether Naidoo had been acting as some sort of mole, feeding information from “sensitive” briefings to “any third party”

    This sort of behaviour is common in the regime of POTUS 47, but smacks of political direction of the police to go after the government's opponents.

    This is all untenable. The positions of both – in Cabinet and as head of police should be up for review.

    If this is acceptable to Luxon, he is not fit to be PM.

    • Muttonbird 4.1

      Luxon ain't going to do shit. He invited corporate polluters to write govt legislation and is attempting to shut down legal recourse for ever, and then hid it.

      • SPC 4.1.1

        Hipkins has also criticised the review by Chambers.

        “I think it’s very unfortunate that the police commissioner is choosing to make public comments with no evidential base whatsoever about an outstanding member of the police force.”

        But he did not go as far as Anderson, who suggested on Newstalk ZB that Mitchell had put words into Chambers’ mouth ‒ a claim Mitchell immediately rejected.

        Prime Minister Christopher Luxon suggested Anderson should withdraw and apologise for those remarks. Chambers did not wish to make any further comment.

        The no standards apply, except on media, Luxon, wants those who criticise the indefensible to withdraw and apologise

        It is patently obvious the Police Commissioner acted, after the Ministers spoke, as if directed by the very words used.

        Which is why they should not have uttered by Mitchell in the first place.
