This summary is quite comical.

Hopefully you find my posts helpful, but in no way should they be construed as advice. Make your own decision.

Wise sayings from history and from those with experience :
"A man is judged by his deeds, not his words.
A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden of weeds.
A man should be ashamed when his deeds not match his words."
After 6 years of the Labour government of words (spin & BS basically), NZ better wise up and learn to judge any government based upon what is achieved rather than what is spoken.
Words are of course important because words can inspire and lift a whole country to better and greater things. Ultimately though, words are but words without deeds.

If you are hosting a press conference, words are pretty much everything.
And if you don't know the detail of what your decisions are based on, then the outcome is a lottery.

No question that Mark Mitchell fxxked up and made Luxon looked stupid.
Second strike btw for Mark.
More’s the pity for the government as the announcement (per article below) was a very positive one :
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politi...AVNWXCLWX3XNQ/
“Once the clarifying statement arrived after the press conference, it was clear they had under-sold the announcement. It turned out that the Government is promising $1.9 billion more for Corrections over four years than the current spending track. That will fund more prison beds, more prison staff and more rehabilitation programmes for remand prisoners who make up 45 per cent of the prison muster.
For the record, the clarification sent out afterwards by Mark Mitchell’s office stated there are currently 455 beds at Waikeria Prison; that 600 new ones under way already will come on line in a year, including 100 mental health beds; and that yesterday’s funding announcement will mean an additional 810 beds which, once completed, will take Waikeria’s capacity to a whopping 1865 beds.“
