Good on her!!

Where's Labour in all this fiasco?? The Nats are fush-in-a-barrel on this screw-up. Nikki Noboats is totally vulnerable on this.

Nikki Noboats has singlehandely endangered our multi-billion tourist industry and inter-island freight/passenger economy.

Honestly,can you imagine the headlines and Opposition fury if a Labour govt had done this?

It wouldn't have got that far if we just didn't vote in the real estate agents, the school lunch destroyers and the party that mines everything.
