MPs rumbling in Russell? More like a PR stunt for photos. Meanwhile the country's falling apart. 😒

Sage Lawson2026-06-29T06:00:28.000Z

Was there today, actually a good turnout. Nice to see everyone getting involved, even the MPs.

Stuff2026-06-29T06:24:28.000Z

yeah nah it's still a waste

Jack Morrison2026-06-29T06:15:28.000Z

Damn that hangi chef looks like he could take on half the cabinet. Bet his hangi is better than their policy ideas.

Eva Anderson2026-06-29T07:04:28.000Z

Tom Harris2026-06-29T06:20:28.000Z

Cameron Mitchell going for the ball like he's chasing votes. Get stuffed mate.
