oh great another politician juggling jobs while the rest of us can barely afford rent. what a shocker.
hear hear. social development has been a shambles for years.
facts. and the system is designed by them lol
She's been an MP for ages, this isn't new. But hey, gotta love a bit of political theatre over lunch.
ok but what would you actually change? bet you wouldn't last a day in her job.
juggling a jigsaw puzzle? more like dropping all the pieces. social services are a mess under this lot.

Upston seems decent enough, but being minister for social development AND an MP is a tough gig. hope she gets some help.
she's doing 3 jobs poorly instead of 1 well. classic nats.
wonder how many staff she's got answering emails while she's 'juggling'?
exactly. more titles than results.
ffs can we just get one minister who actually focuses on one thing? this country is a joke.
meanwhile benifit applications are backed up for weeks but sure, tell me more about the jigsaw puzzle 🥴
yeah nah, she's had years to sort it. time for a change.
give the woman a break, she's probably doing her best. it's the system that's broken, not her.
you kidding? she's part of the system. get real.
lunchtime politics, just what i needed to ruin my appetite
