Just finished reading Mike Bush's 117[g review into HB's response to Cyclone Gabrielle so you don't have to. Here are some zingers that stood out 🧵

@AlexaCook_ and @NewshubNZ did an amazing job on this #LongCovid back in January. @drayeshaverrall, @nzlabour, and @minhealthnz did not see fit to implement any of the recommendations or to assist those in Aotearoa affected by LC in any way. The battle continues daily.

Interviewed RE forestry slash by @NewshubNZ @AlexaCook_ from the #CycloneGabrielle devastation. The solution is simple; ban clear-fell harvesting on these high-risk slopes. A just transition of this landscape is far harder; it will require funding & listening to Ngati Porou.

Protestors now literally fanning the flames of a roaring tent fire. So much for peaceful. This is dangerous stuff.
Alexa Cook retweeted
Just in case anyone still thinks the Wellington protesters are ‘peaceful’ - a cameraman and a journalist were just chased out of parliament grounds by a group, with one man yelling ‘we will hang you bro.’
All on livestream. Appalling.

This morning I met with Chris Luxon and had a great discussion. I am withdrawing from the leadership contest and will be backing Chris. He will make a brilliant National leader and Prime Minister.
