“Do you recognise this toaster - it’s just from the kitchen round there.” 🤣 Slightly difficult position to be in after just saying that someone posting objectionable content was a private citizen he had no responsibility for. #toastgate

#Watch The left thinks the State should be everyone’s parent. The right wants to provide the tools to empower people - and thinks parents should be responsible for their own children. As a 17 year old from a tough background, I decided to vote in support of a National Government after reading through the election manifestos of the various political parties in New Zealand’s first MMP election. Why? Limited Government. I knew from experience that the state didn’t really help poor people. Lower taxes. I was working my butt off to improve my lot in life and every cent counted as I didn’t have many of them, and I needed every cent I could to lift myself up, not think the government would do it for me. Self-responsibility. I knew I had to take responsibility for myself to change my own reality, not expect the government to do it for me because I knew that would not realistically happen. Reward for achievement. If I worked harder and did more I wanted to get rewarded for it.

Brilliant to have Prime Minister Christopher Luxon in Queenstown today with Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard and Act MP Todd Stephenson MP announcing a Budget 2026 investment of an extra $79 million over the next three years to fighting wilding pines, taking the total commitment to $109 million. I’ve been advocating for this for years, with the support of my brilliant colleagues in the Rural Nats and my neighbour Miles Anderson MP for Waitaki. It’s absolutely phenomenal to get this one across the line with our coalition partners. Many thanks also to Conservation Minister Tama Potaka who chipped in significant funding for this important work. We are fixing the basics and building the future!
