Question Time 10 September 2025

Writing from home. Protested outside Nicola's office during lunchtime. I'm stoned, and been drinking since the stunt. - 1. Andy Foster to Shane Jones AF 5, SJ 5 Geothermal exploration. 'A contributor to energy resilience' - Jonesy Some of the male MPs (Foster, Seymour) are dyeing their hair. Very vain... First phase: 'drilling to start within the next eighteen months' 'Won't be held hostage to vanity politics' 'Question Time is essentially a political experience' - Jonesy. Patsy question attacking the opposition; more interminable points of order. 'The thousands of people listening. We've lost the chance of a bipartisan approach' - Winston. Brownlee told people to post their pronouns... good line. 'Commonsense should prevail' Lots more noise. 'Consistency in those [Speaker's] rulings' - Kieran Oil and gas ban chatter. 'Parts of New Zealand will never, ever recover' Ricardo challenged some Speaker's rulings, but Brownlee ignored him. 2. Lu to Willis NL 6, NW 4 Stronger recovery in the final quarter. Yeah, right. 'Primary sector exports have been the bright spot in the economy this year' - Nicola. 'There's high tension here today' - Brownlee Domestic inflation is predicted to keep falling. 'We will not be hiking the cost of living for Kiwi households' - Nicola 3. Chippy to Pink Skull CH 6, PS 5 'More efficient supply chains and lower prices for families' - supermarket reform. 10,000 jobs lost between March and June. 'People lose their jobs for many different reasons' - Pink Skull 'This is a government that gets out and listens to the people' - my stunt says otherwise. 'Brad Olsen is not always right ... he's talking down New Zealand' - Pink Skull 'Supplementaries are not to be centipedes' - Jonesy. Two out-of-order questions from NZ First. 73,400 citizens have left NZ this year. Something like 1.5% of the population. 'There is strong demand to be part of the New Zealand success story that has been growing under this government' - out on the hustings. 4. Puhihuia to Bish CS 5, CB 5 'Recent changes will make a difference for rough sleepers in Auckland' - Bish 'That number is dynamic ... support is available for all 809 of those rough sleepers' City Mission? 'We expect MSD staff to exercise greater discretion, but we are not going to go back to the bad old days of free-for-all for emergency housing' - Bish The official advice is that policy changes haven't changed the number of hobos. 3500 new homes were cancelled, while they're leasing 300 homes from the private sector ... 'they can be bought in the next few weeks or months' - Bish - To Nicola: you, and the Natzees, cannot force me to make the Weeded Out film. You and your people have no legal right to do so. The copyrights are mine, the songs that they wish to use are mine, and they have no legal claim to those things. The Copyright Act 1994 means that my derivative is valid, and theirs is not. I've got other, better, film ideas. SPADA can't be involved, though. After being blackmailed, they lost all credibility. Further suggestions of 'shoot it for a month, then have a real career' will result in this response 'why have you never hired me to write music for a film, given that my music is what I'm famous for?' 'why have you never hired me to direct a short, direct an ad, direct a feature or to rewrite someone else's subpar script with the structure and dialogue that separate me from the mediocre writers that tried to rip me off?' Because trans people are only valid if they're seen, not if they're behind-the-scenes. Admit bigotry, SPADA and Ainsley, drop Weeded Out and apologise. Otherwise Tory will be defending her defamatory statements in court. Otherwise Mr. Barr might be charged with blackmail. Same goes for Sinead Boucher. I get a fair, even do-over with a script of my choosing. Fund my short films. - Winston: why are they congregating in Auckland Central? Bish: non-answer. 5. Wedd to Bish CW 4, CB 5 Hawkes Bay Expressway. It's always roads... National loves building roads. Patsy question to plug infrastructure (ie roads). Got distracted with the defence... 6. Edmonds to Willis BE 4, NW 4 More bullshit finance questions. I say 'Mr. Barr' because I've literally never met him. He's some wanker that my friends thought wasn't on the up and up. Ethan said he'd blitzed NZ with his LA phony charm. These questions are even more tedious at home. 7. Teanau to Winston TT 6, WP 4 Answering on behalf of Judith. Israeli payloads were launched. Our space sector is steadily growing. 'The satellite is in the sky. What would the Greens have us do, bring it back?' - Winnie. Is this in NZ's interest? Good question. 'Used for a wide variety of reasons [non-war]' Data can't be sent to people who are on our terrorist list. That's not the real question, which is were the satellites used in Gaza? 'Where were his colleagues in 2021?' 'Daisy chain' - Jonesy 8. McCallum to Stanford GM , ES Jonesy's been hollering in the background. More investment in learning support. - As for how to get me a paid gig: do what the journos do. Contact me or put up job ads in places where I can read them. I don't do marketing, but other videography is fine. - 9. Kieran to Tama KMA 5, TP 4

'The renaissance of iconic hotspots like Rotorua and Hamilton' - Tama defending his record on housing. 'Getting emergency housing back on track' Is emergency housing fixed? 'Comparisons are inappropriate' - Tama 'Not herding people like sheep into Ulster Street' More emergency applications were denied than approved in Auckland this year. The right wing is attempting to own the facts as well. - After what I've been through, being a queen for bigots isn't on my list. The reason they're running scared is that my dossier made them look complicit in the sexual humiliation and psychological torture that I've been subjected to. In fact, there's a line in Here We Are (the Broadway tape, not the album) that refers to this ABDL humiliation bullshit, which further implicates the Red Scare arseholes. Cass was so convinced she had the right to bully me that she left her name on some of those porn accounts. The police were given that information. Tory overstepped. Nadine overstepped. The Wellington Greens are responsible for my suicidal episodes, and that will result in a formal apology from my enemies. Take the hint: I said no, and deserve to be funded because I'm your equal. My films and songs have expressed things you can't or won't. - 10. Butterick to Penk MB 5, CP 4 Watts Peninsula reserve in Miramar. 11. Luxton to Hoggard CL , AH Farmer policy. 'They will now be able to manage their own compliance with overseas requirements' - Hoggard. - It's simple: they can settle, or they can face charges. I've said no to Hollywood as well as to NZ film moguls. Turned down Merrily We Roll Along. Mark sent them my demos. Those orchestrations were my gift. I thought that the arrangements of the stage show were pretty naff, and said several times that a jazz orchestra was the right choice. That film has had a lot of casting problems, so it was during one of those. - 12. Arena to Simpson AW 5, SS 4 Consumer affairs. 'Tax relief that benefitted millions of New Zealand households' 'Is that in the regulatory toolkit?' - Arena 'There are a range of things that this Government is doing' - Simpson Amendments to the Commerce Act are coming up.
