They definitely need to be removed, or heavily amended. How often did we see patsy questions like "Why are you so amazing at your job as minister of butts, and why are you the prettiest princess at the party?" being asked by backbenchers? Restrict that poo poo to "Have there been any new initiatives at the Ministry of whatever. If so, could you please explain the intent/method/etc." Something like that. Neutral, kept fact-based and to the point.

Similar experience, but legal and with an app

That'd be illegal

It's only Uber's MO when they also start complaining at being prosecuted for selling to minors. "It's not our job to ensure they're the right age, we're just middlemen!"

Can you think of any punishment worse than being forced to spend a year with a child so annoying you just HAD to try and kill it? Jeez I feel bad for the guy, he sounds like he's got a real chance of getting a job at some point which as we all know means you get away with attempted murder.

multiple attempts at murder if you believe his missus

Defended? Why did it need to be defended and by who? I wasn't aware there was an outcry against a retiree visiting NZ to play golf with his buddy and make a speech at a private dinner.

Air NZ (a majority state owned company) spent a huge amount of money getting Obama here. Supposedly it was going to be good advertising. I think they got a photo of him playing golf in some scenic location out of it.

He can still tweet about it. Also wasn’t a good look for Air NZ to pay for the board chair’s golf buddy to come over for a few rounds. The same week they cut a bunch of regional services.

I always assumed that was going to be part of some future campaign, so of course we're not going to see any results of it until it ran. I also wouldn't underestimate the selling power of "come play the same beautiful courses that were good enough for Obama to play on" to certain markets.

On cutting regional routes, Shane Jones is proving as blustery as ever. Acting in the best interests of the company/shareholders by cutting unprofitable regional routes to improve the financial return of the company is exactly how a company is legally required to operate. If Jones wants to change AirNZ's ownership model and have it follow some kind of public service charter, then that's a discussion I'm more than happy to see, but he's not really making that argument. Also Kapiti residents pissing about driving an hour to a real airport with vastly cheaper fares and wider destinations is hilarious to me, living in a city where it can take an hour to get to the airport on any regular day.

The routes aren't unprofitable, smaller carriers have picked up the routes and are doing fine. I just don't think they were profitable ENOUGH. Kapiti maybe not, but Taupo residents have a pretty valid reason to be pissed at a supposed national airline not covering them.

Air NZ told my folks "you better get driving then" when they failed to tell them their connecting flight from Taupo to Auckland had been cancelled (3 hours before they showed up for it, so they knew before my folks even got there)
