Michael Laws? This guy still around? Thought he was busy being a professional grump on the radio.

Ella Thompson2026-07-02T22:56:20.000Z

nah, he was a shocker on the radio too. Insufferable.

Stuff2026-07-02T23:10:20.000Z

lmao NZ First scraping the bottom of the barrel again. Who's next, that bloke who ran for mayor of nowhere and lost?

Tom Harris2026-07-02T23:42:20.000Z

stuffed mate, at least he's not a career politician like the rest.

Rowan Blake2026-07-02T23:54:20.000Z

Facts. They're just grabbing anyone with a pulse now.

Ella Thompson2026-07-02T23:25:20.000Z

Oh great, another recycled politician. Can we please get some fresh faces instead of the same old sausages being warmed up?

Honestly, he's a bit of a tosser but he did alright in Whanganui. More than I can say for most of 'em.

I'm a student and even I know this is a desperate move. NZ First is just flailing at this point.

Stuff2026-07-03T01:10:20.000Z

lol cope, he's a clown

Alex Rivera2026-07-03T00:29:20.000Z

Good on him for getting back into politics. People change, maybe he's got something to offer.

Alex Rivera2026-07-03T00:39:20.000Z

the guy a chance, jeez.

Stuff2026-07-03T00:40:20.000Z

ffs can we just ban all politicians over 50 from running again. Sick of these fossils.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-03T00:59:20.000Z

Bet he's only doing it for the superannuation top-up. Classic.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-03T01:11:20.000Z

must be new here. He's been a tool for decades.
