In a few words

Labour’s multi-tasker

National’s shadow health minister Michael Woodhouse might not be able to multi-task, but it seems that, as minister of health as well as education and state services, while also being the leader of the House, Labour’s Chris Hipkins can. More power to your arms, minister Hipkins!

Pot of gold?

Once again I have seen a rainbow whose end was firmly in a Bromley oxidation pond. I do hope the city council has trawling machinery for recovery. We could then look forward to a zero rates rise this year.

Quarantine qualms

I’m intrigued that the residents of Queenstown should express opposition through their MP to the possible use of the town’s hotels to quarantine returning Kiwis, when not so long ago they had no objection to the same facilities being used to quarantine international students.
