ACT and NZ First bicker over minister's India visit

Noah Bennett2026-07-13T04:23:05.000Z

another junket to India on the taxpayer's dime. wool? really? just a holiday. 😒

Kai Thompson2026-07-13T05:20:05.000Z

yeah nah it's not a holiday. I've done trade missions, they work 14 hour days. hard yakka.

Kai Thompson2026-07-13T04:32:05.000Z

as someone in the wool industry, actually this is good. India buys a lot. have seen the demand myself. could be worth it.

Noah Bennett2026-07-13T05:23:05.000Z

mate it's a junket, they always say it's good but nothing changes. wake up.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-13T04:42:05.000Z

ACT and NZ First bickering again while the country burns. pathetic.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-13T04:57:05.000Z

facts. all they do is argue while we pay for their trips

Morgan Lee2026-07-13T05:23:05.000Z

exactly, they never share the results. just a photo op.

Riley Scott2026-07-13T05:25:05.000Z

ffs mark patterson is a clown. champion strong wool by flying business class? get stuffed.

Alex Rivera2026-07-13T05:54:05.000Z

oh come on, give it a chance. trade takes time.

Alex Rivera2026-07-13T05:47:05.000Z

I'm sure he'll do fine, trade trips are part of the job. not everything is a conspiracy.

Riley Scott2026-07-13T06:27:05.000Z

lol sure they do. probably golf and curry dinners.

Peyton Hall2026-07-13T05:57:05.000Z

meanwhile farmers here can't get a decent price for wool. but yeah go india and talk about it 🙄

Sophie Ngata2026-07-13T06:18:05.000Z

hope they sort something out. we need more trade not less infighting.

Peyton Hall2026-07-13T06:57:05.000Z
