Luxon said that "New Zealand's contribution is $1 million and is part
of a wider $10 million in humanitarian assistance for Gaza through the

about tax cuts than looking after those in need. They are disgraceful.
A post from someone who cares more about supporting the Labour/Greens >combination with political rhetoric such as this than acknowledging
that Labour stuffed up big time between the 2020 and 2023 elections.
All of what was said in the post above is contestable but there is no
point when you are so blind that you think the political compass
website correctly defines where NZ political parties fall in the
left/right spectrum.
The situation with UNRWA funding is paused (not cancelled) and rightly
so given that the 7 so far identified may be the tip of a very large
iceberg of UN corruption. Or it may not. We need to be very careful
who we fund with taxpayer-funded aid.

Are you saying you are a fart? Certainly you are already a political
problem.
If you tried addressing the content of previous posts you may findYou have no basis to judge me - that would need more intelligence than you can muster on a really good day.
