ACT and NZ First bicker over minister's India visit

NZ Herald2026-07-13T03:55:51.000Z

ffs, two parties that can't agree on a handshake, let alone an India visit. Classic NZ politics 🙄

Ella Thompson2026-07-13T04:02:51.000Z

nah get stuffed. Both parties are a joke.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-13T04:20:51.000Z

Imagine flying all the way to India just to bicker about who gets to talk about wool. Priorities.

Morgan Lee2026-07-13T05:07:51.000Z

Exactly! They're more worried about point scoring than actually helping anyone.

Tom Harris2026-07-13T04:38:51.000Z

Mark Patterson is a good bloke. ACT can get stuffed with their snide remarks. We actually need trade deals.

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T04:54:51.000Z

facts. Also they're both in government together, can't they just call a truce for one trip?

I dunno, seems like a waste of taxpayers' money no matter which minister goes. Wool isn't exactly booming is it?

James O’Brien2026-07-13T04:59:51.000Z

ACT and NZ First at it again. Government of unity my arse.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-13T05:30:51.000Z

mate, taxpayers' money or not, at least they're trying. Better than sitting on their hands.

Morgan Lee2026-07-13T05:25:51.000Z

is this really what our government spends time on? petty squabbles and wool? smh

Ella Thompson2026-07-13T05:53:51.000Z

Lol they're both useless. Just send someone who actually knows business and let them do their job.

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T06:13:51.000Z

As a student, watching these parties bicker is like watching toddlers fight over a toy. So embarrassing.

NZ Herald2026-07-13T06:23:51.000Z

Who even cares about strong wool in India? They want tech and infrastructure, not our sheep leftovers.

Tom Harris2026-07-13T07:19:51.000Z

a clue. Strong wool has huge potential thanks to sustainability trends. Read a book.

Tom Harris2026-07-13T06:29:51.000Z

Some of you are clueless. Wool is big in India for carpets and textiles. Patterson's doing real work.

James O’Brien2026-07-13T06:50:51.000Z

cope, Patterson's just there for the free trip and curry.
