Did they run a story on where Grant Robertson buys his clothes?
The Herald reports:
Finance Minister Nicola Willis delivered New Zealand's 2025 Budget on Thursday in a vivid blue pencil dress.
The distinctive outfit is believed to be the Nouvelle Sculpt Stretch Crepe Dress, from British womenswear label The Fold London.
It was a sartorial choice that sent all the wrong messages, according to one New Zealand fashion designer.
Caroline Marr, owner of Auckland-based fashion brand The Carpenter's Daughter, called Willis' decision not to wear a Kiwi brand during the high-profile moment a signal of 'total disrespect' to the local fashion industry.
Oh FFS, how is this news? It's just a total bullshit story.
A good response from Chris Bishop:
Focusing on what our Minister of Finance is wearing instead of the outstanding Growth Budget she's just delivered? Be better. — Christopher Bishop (@cjsbishop) May 24, 2025
