Not to mention the kindergarten-like taunts from your lot. :) JK spent the last year+ as PM just doing overseas jaunts . We later found out why: he no longer had any interest in the job. I cant see the issue with the PM visiting pacific islands . We know damn well the Chinese govt is with cash in hand. |

Let's just match the Chinese money and chuck a few billions at them and forget about the NZ health system. |

Don't you think this is what we have a Minister of Foreign Affairs for? But the issue is, this is the first visit by a senior member of government to Tokelau since 2004 because nobody thought it was important enough. Until some family birthdays / reunion beckoned, co-incidentally on the same weekend. As Mike Hosking observed this morning, There's a damn sight more important stuff for the PM to get her head around back home than swanning around the Pacific on an Airforce 757. (swanning - my words) |

| 1462552 | 2019-07-29 02:29:00 | Politicians travel has always been a con job . Allways Spending $60k a year on taxi's because one didnt want to drive himself to the airport & back overseas travel at the same time & city as Rugby tests Junkets to conferences, those conferences allways seemingly in a fab city like Paris or Las Vegas JA is doing nothing that nearly every politician has been doing for the last 25+ years , so why bother to single her out ? PM doesnt actually run the country, there is no need for her to allways be here . No different to when JK was away for most of the year, seemingly that was somehow OK Im not a labor supporter btw , I just dont like double standards. If it was OK for J.Key ..... :) |

| 1462553 | 2019-07-29 03:03:00 | Shonkey and his minions did wonderous dodgy things for 9 years so what's the issue here? The John Key government was useless and so is the current government. Nothing changes. |

A valid point, however she is being "singled out" because she's the current PM. When she isn't and someone else is, they will be singled out. And so on. |

Not on this forum they won't be as Nats can do no wrong and some such as Prefect worship the ground they walk on. |

| 1462556 | 2019-07-29 08:25:00 | Why should New Zealand be responsible for the welfare of the Tokelau's? If they hope to compete with the Chinese - forget it! Actually, I don't believe that China would be interested in the Tokelau's, what for? They usually go for minerals, and other resources. | mzee (3324) | ||

They are buying international 'friend's : votes in the UN, future navel bases, loans later used to gain undue influence over small countries , pushing out US influence . On the other hand, NZ Aus US have a poor history of how we dealt with PI nations . Would Ch be any worse ? |
