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

Hated Miller when Waikato took the shield off Auckland in the 90s.

Owen Finegan for the wallabies
Currently don't think there is anyone but Farrell and Biggar come close

TBF, was going to go Maori again, but they said they would only go with Labour. Like the Greens I detest parties that are closed minded. It is lazy Weren't tempted by TOP? No Never voted for ACT before. Felt a bit dirty leaving the booth. But at least he has done something I agree with out of them....

The talk of strategic voting causing national to lose this badly is grasping at straws. Do we think that people were answering all these polls strategically when national couldn't get out of the early 30s? I'm sure internally they must be having a proper review and clean out. The first question is ...

Newshub reporting there will be no formal coalition with the greens. Still doesn't mean they will use them as ministers. Did see interesting point made about how a lot of the labour mps this time around were raw because of the pastings they had copped previously. Hopefully they are more effective th...

Anyone else notice the couple of times they switched back with a pass to someone who had no idea what was coming

Monkey Magic

Spot on Thomas. 41 missed tackles loses you the game every time and that is fixable I reckon. You got over the line twice more than the scorebaord shows - next time Mo'unga doesn't make that miracle save and the guy who missed the try just puts it it back to his team-mates. Also, remember that Save...

Don't send wayward kicks with no chase to him

The wallabies had chances and couldn't convert, the all blacks had 10-15min of really good play and got the rewards. Feel the wallabies got sacked in a bit throwing the ball around a lot more which played into the all blacks hands. They weren't able to suffocate us much as the collisions really even...

I just can't see an AB win. No penetration in the midfield, no beast ball running forwards, just going to be another massive defensive effort to try and stay in the game and keep it close. fudge me. Like we have never won a game before with that midfield. I thought you were an All Black supporter? ...

Auckland central is a bit if a surprise. I wonder how much of that is labour voters trying to make sure greens got in

Our big birds are basically land based mammals. Seeing a Kakapō in the flesh, they look and move like a beaver or similar. Bizarre. The Haast Eagle would have been something to behold. The Haast's eagle (Hieraaetus moorei) is an extinct species of eagle that once lived in the South Island of New Ze...

So polls look like they might have got the minor parties close but no one picked the National party bloodbath

The difference though is that people would be choosing euthanasia.

And elderly doesn't necessarily mean dead in 6 months

Having said that it would be funny as hell if she lost though. Chuck in a Trump win later and the woke would have a simultaneous triggered reaction/micro aggression induced trauma the world has never seen before.

Having listened to a large number of interviews and speeches over the last month, I can say that there was only 2 people who impressed me.

Were their europe based players selected for this given they're already playing?

Or are they similar to the all whites who cited players losing club contracts because when the returned they would have to quarantine and miss too much action?

TBF, he was spot on with the Ron Cribb thing Poor old Ron. No he wasn't - most of these guys are too young to remember Cribb. I grew up idolizing Ron Cribb and I'm 34.

New Zealand cheat. This is not news. Everyone cheats, but for the officials not to pick any of this is up is simply unforgiveable. What about the wallabies penalty for not rolling away, when there was no all black defender on the ground and big Karl was in his feet with all rights to the ball. Basi...
