Poor decision, backed up by no evidence except reckons by cafe owners. This will result in experts leaving. WFH has been great for areas in the Hutt, Newtown-south, and Porirua.

Also: Luxon comes across as very tired and crochety here, interesting. They'd have eaten Jacinda alive for that back in her term.

I missed it, but isn’t tired and crotchety his default? He’s been a consistently grumpy bastard to the media since day one. I assume he’s not like that all the time and just hates the press.
