Good win.

Wobs obviously rebuilding with a very young team.

We want 50

Good boy Hoskins

Good finish Reiko

Rugby is dead in Australia.

Reduced capacity due to covid19 rules

Lolesio lost in space there

BB and Mounga combining well there

Lolesio on his debut got left at the altar

Maybe the ref should walk off and let the TMO ref this match

Bit harsh. Penalty only IMO

Anyone got any ideas on who will end up running what Especially for foreign affairs, defence and taking on the shitshow of oranga tamariki from Tracey Martin And surely hipkins can't keep all his portfolios Kiweez and GON work there so they have the best clues. I reckon Chris Hipkins remains as Hea...

Did anyone else hear about losing incumbent MPs personally showing up at the winning candidate's election night HQ to concede in person? Apparently it's a bit of a tradition in the rural seats. Given their long stints, Nick Smith in Nelson and Jonathan Young in New Plymouth are the standouts for roc...

Equally pathetic is Phil Twyford doing digital billboards thanking voters post election. I drove through the intersection of Lincoln Rd and Universal Drive today and there's a huge billboard with Phil beaming at the poor of West Auckland from a $20-$30K billboard position thanking them for voting f...

You sound like cabinet material.

Can't believe how many of the new MPs are lawyers and/or academics. Most have never had a real job. They're not. They're mostly practising lawyers and doctors (including a practising midwife). There are now 14 lawyers in the labour caucus. I'd have thought lawyers were the best people to write the ...

I think Associate Health should go to Ayesha Verrall and Liz Craig.
Interesting - who gets Health then?

Someone with experience with a big ministry I guess. Craig has been a one-term MP and Verrall is brand new. Huge ask to throw them the big job.

Must cabinet ministers all come from the ruling party? Or could Jacinda appoint a Green Party MP to her cabinet? If they negotiate a coalition agreement there's no reason they couldn't have Green MP's in cabinet. I am wondering if she could have a Green MP in the cabinet even without a coalition ag...

Good win. Still not the finished article but its only their 2nd test for this new team. Fortress Eden Park holds!

What a bloody legend is Caleb Clarke!

Kelvin Davis was part of the Maori seat strategy devised by Willie Jackson for the 2017 election. Worked a treat. He can still be Deputy Leader of the party but DPM requires the gift of the gab - Robertson is the obvious choice. I think his performance in Corrections is not too shabby - his main cau...

Huh Even though National won 26 electorates outright, plus a win each for Act, Greens and the Maori party, Labour had a majority in the party vote in all but 5 electorates across the country. Including Papakura... For those overseas people not familiar with MMP, what this means is that the majority...

When Labour convincingly wins the party vote in National's rural heartlands (simply unheard of!) and even flips safe Blue seats for the first time in 20+ years, you get a: https://i.ibb.co/fpqHNXt/4iu6un.jpg Judith Collins has just done a Corbyn.

Both panels on both channels are horrendous. The National sycophants which are in the majority (the only one for them tonight) have all accepted defeat a few weeks back and are now trying to brashly bate Jacinda and Labour in their moment of victory. One of them was trying to say she should be like...

I'm off to vote soon. Have two polling stations within an easy walk, one only a few hundred meters away. Will take the dog with us so he can have a run around on the school playing field afterwards. Feeling very lucky to be living somewhere with a reasonably well run election system after seeing th...

I've lost count of how many holes are in the National party fiscal plan but by Friday, it was reportedly up to $10 billion.

What a scumbucket Mitch McConnell is. No shame.

I reckon they should cancel the Rugby Championship. Sanzaar are just trying to rush it. Half the all black team don't want to go, half the Argentine team has covid19, and none of the boks or pumas players have played any type of rugby for half the year.

Save it for next year and plan it properly.

Ahem Parramatta Stadium please. Best stadium in the land.

Agree with Uncle FB. Sydney has been in level 2 for months. Nobody really cares. Lol

Just saw the new UK opposition leader in question time with Boris.

Boris got taken apart. Labour's new guy looks every bit a PM in waiting.

Very predictable extension of 2.5 and 2 today. Ardern is very predictable in alert levels. Only one I got wrong so far is the original level 4 decision back in March. I wonder if Winston was standing outside the cabinet room today with placards. Anyway, level 2 has been the norm in Sydney for months...

There are nine people with COVID-19 in hospital - two in Auckland City Hospital, four people in Middlemore, two people in North Shore Hospital and one person in Waikato Hospital.

Six people are stable on a ward, and three people in Middlemore are in ICU.
