boot). And in the context of a disaster, where the building didn't
have sprinklers, where there are already calls for improvements in

Only to you. I, and I am sure most of us, saw them for what they were
with no American overtones whatever.
If this is the best you can come up with you truly show your
desperation in portraying National and ACT leaders as tone-deaf. I
would equally say Labour is tone-deaf in its devious deceptions with
water reforms legislation introducing nation-wide co-governance
without any mention of it prior to the last election. That truly is
tone-deaf on the part of ex-PM Ardern and clearly PM Hipkins is stuck
with it unless he has the courage to take on Labours Maori caucus.
that some will only read words in a post and not look at a url. "No
Right Turn" is a personal blog of someone who I have never met and do
not know; he is fairly rational compared with some other political
blogs; and the opinions expressed may well reflect a considerable
proportion of the population.
As for being rational it's about as rational as you Rich. forever dissing the opposition even though as with the post you cut n' pasted it's pure anti right wing bullshit!
rather than the National Party; if you think about it you would
realise that the last two National; Party Prime Ministers would have
been more empathetic - that is John Key and Bill English. Bridges had
a little empathy, but Judith Collins and Chris Luxon appear to have
none, and that is not attractive in a politician - and it comes
through in the high level of dissatisfaction that National supporters
had in Collins, and now in Luxon. There is little about left or right
wing in this discussion; it is about New Zealanders wanting a leder
that actually cares for more than themself.

"Utterly tone-deaf
This morning a hostel burned down in Wellington, killing ten people.
Aotearoa is a small country, and a disaster of this scale is unusual,
so every political party leader was asked to comment. What did
National Party leader Christopher Luxon have to say? An American-style >>> >>"thoughts and prayers":
National's leader Christopher Luxon said his thoughts were with the
victims and responders.
"It's pretty shocking what we've seen here overnight, and our thoughts >>> >>and prayers are definitely with the people who've lost their lives,
the families who've lost loved ones, and those that are now fighting
for their lives in hospital as well as being grateful for our
responders."
Luxons comments were later echoed by ACT leader David Seymour in
Parliament.
The problem with this is that that particular phrase is very obviously >>> >>an American import, used most notoriously by American politicians to
pretend to care about the daily mass-murders of schoolchildren by
psychopaths with military weapons.
Rich you are reaching new lows in your rhetoric. Luxon's comments are
entirely appropriate given his religious convictions. You are
stooping to new lows in attempting to connect these comments with USA
politics.
I say "pretend" because it is
obvious that those politicians do not care - if they did, they'd do
something about it (like, you know, having sensible gun laws). While
it might sound great to Luxon, to kiwi ears, its pure dismissal, a
"fuck you, I don't care" (and with weirdo religious overtones to
boot). And in the context of a disaster, where the building didn't
have sprinklers, where there are already calls for improvements in
building regulations to ensure that it doesn't happen again, Luxon
