Trump's UN vote a defining act that points to day of reckoning for NZ — Pundit

Kia Ora folks,It’s a heavy day and I thought I would offer two videos for your consumption if you’re interested:The first one is footage you may never see again: Christopher Luxon apologise to Chris Hipkins in the House this week:And a segment from TVNZ’s Breakfast show last week where Kieran McAnulty calls out Nicola Willis on some of this government’s health system lies:The world order has shifted significantly, and I did expect this result to a degree, but still feel rocked.
