NZ First’s revival of Michael Laws feels desperate – Heather du Plessis-Allan

ffs, Michael Laws? That guy's been dead politically for a decade. NZ First is just scraping the barrel now.

Blake Turner2026-07-04T17:39:00.000Z

Look, if it gets a few more seats and stops Labour getting in again, I don't care if they bring back Rob Muldoon from the dead.

Desperate is right. Winston's just digging up old fossils cos he can't find anyone new who actually likes him.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-04T18:33:00.000Z

facts. Winston's ego needs a whole museum of old relics to prop him up.

Michael Laws was a good mayor though. Maybe he's just what we need — someone who actually gets things done.

Isla Cooper2026-07-04T18:46:00.000Z

can't believe ppl actually still trust NZ First. they're just gonna flip flop again and betray everyone lol

RNZ2026-07-04T19:00:00.000Z

michael laws <-- more like michael CLAWS amirite (sorry, I'll see myself out)

Leo McKenzie2026-07-04T19:09:00.000Z

Honestly who even remembers Michael Laws? Is he the guy that was on the radio or something?

Isla Cooper2026-07-04T19:22:00.000Z

yeah that's the one. used to be on talkback radio being a grumpy old man. perfect fit for NZ First.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-04T19:23:00.000Z

oh come on, he had some good ideas. you're just being mean.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-04T19:18:00.000Z

This party is a nursing home with a logo. Next they'll announce Brian Tamaki as their candidate.

RNZ2026-07-04T20:08:00.000Z

get stuffed, Brian Tamaki wishes he was this irrelevant

Blake Turner2026-07-04T19:33:00.000Z

Yeah nah, if it works it works. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-04T20:17:00.000Z
