   What is it with every minor party leader and their dog giving "State of the Nation" speeches? Today it's Seymour... the Minister for School Slop.

   In a SST piece - "David Seymour and the food fight he can’t win" - Andrea Vance argues that Seymour was better in opposition than he is in government.

   "When questioned, he is rigid and defensive, with the demeanour of a man forced to eat a woke quinoa salad when he ordered a steak."

   Touché.

     Predictably, Peters once more announced NZ First's plan to declare a "war on woke".

     While being heckled by protesters who he decried as "left-wing fascists" and "communist, fascist and anti-democratic losers", he also attacked diversity, equity and inclusion policies and suggested we should pretty much ignore climate change.

     He coined a slogan: "make New Zealand first again". How innovatively original.

     Honestly, Grandad is *this* close to wearing a little red cap.
