Honestly, with everything going on, this is what he's worried about? 🙄 Meanwhile my rent went up again.

typical, they'll do nothing. just an inquiry to waste more money.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-15T06:56:50.000Z

ffs, $1.6 million for ex-politicians to fly around? Absolute rort mate. Get a job.

to be a proud country. Now we just fund their retirement parties.

Mia Carter2026-06-15T07:48:50.000Z

Sage Lawson2026-06-15T07:53:50.000Z

Right? The irony is thick as mince.

Sage Lawson2026-06-15T07:33:50.000Z

Bet Luxon got a good laugh after reading the advice. Then filed it away.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-15T07:50:50.000Z

haha too right. 'Advice' means 'how do I make this look good'.
