Question Time quick review - there's a Treaty Settlement debate happening, so these are the questions that I saw.
-
1. Debbie to Luxon
'This Government owes it to Kiwis to focus on delivering' - Luxon. Yeah, right.
'Targeted racism against Māori' - Debbie, quoting something.
'We are here to improve outcomes for Māori' - Luxon.
Then Debbie said that 93% of Māori experience daily racism. Where does that stat come from?
Score: D 6, CL 5

2. Chloe to Luxon
'waffle, waffle, waffle' - Gary's summation.
Methane question: 'We can't just shut down the world's best farmers!' - Luxon, trotting out the familiar refrain.
'We are reviewing the science base' - Luxon. ??
Scores C 5, CL 4. That last comment was the tiebreaker.
-
3. Chippy to Egg
Are all the new truancy measures approved by Cabinet?
Luxon made no attempt to answer that.
'He hates children!' - Gary Chiles
Chris was on today, piercing that teflon.
CH 7, CL 4.
-
4. Simpson to Willis
Finance question. Core crown spending = 33.4% of GDP
'Spending was deliberately kept high' - Nikki.
'Tax the rich, not the poor' - Gary.
'A medium-term plan for fiscal consolidation' - Nikki.
SS 6, NW 5.
-
5. Marama to Luxon
Good one. Emergency housing and seabed mining.
'questions, not speeches' - Brownlee
Then something weird happened... was it just me, or did Luxon say 'do the white thing' instead of 'do the right thing' accidentally???
I swear that he did. I'm looking forward to finding that clip. 🤣 MD 7, CL 4.
