ffs how much did this cost us?
yeah cos we never hear the cost of these things. always 'undisclosed'
special podiums for a special guy i guess.. must be nice to fly in for a day and have everyone bowing down while we pay for it lol
i mean he's the leader of the world's biggest democracy, of course security's gonna be tight. some of you need to get a clue tbh
get stuffed. your tax dollars hard at work so a foreign leader can have a fancy podium
honestly id rather see the bill broken down than hear another politician talk. nah but seriously, our blokes get nothing like this

having worked events like this, the amount of planning is insane. sweeps, explosive detection dogs, air exclusion zones. not cheap but it's not just for show
i actually think it's cool we got a visit from modi. whether you agree with him or not it's a big deal for nz on the world stage. also the photo here looks sharp!
bet jacinda wouldve just rocked up with a security guard and a muffin
still doesn't excuse the cost mate. we couldve used that money on actual stuff
just saw the traffic around the viaduct during lunch. absolute nightmare. hope it was worth it lol
lunchtime chaos in the city for this. couldnt even get a pie at my usual spot
lol you think photos matter more than whats happening in the country? classic
