Grant Robertson Im out of here.

[Daytr]

Why so? What makes him a great choice for a role he is completely unqualified for according to the university's own criteria? How did he get the role when applications closed one week after the election and a government hadn't been formed?

Completely unqualified. 🤣🤣🤣
He's only been the Deputy PM, Minister of Finance & Sport amoung other things.
He also has an honours degree and was head of the University of Otago student association and National Co leader of the same.

You may not think he performed well, or how agree on how much he will be paid, but to say he is completely unqualified is just ludicrous.
You are just displaying the blinkered bias you have. I surprised you didn't throw in a derogatory comment about Ardern while you were at it as you seem to be able to link her to everything else you find sinister.

Get a grip of yourself. You just look fixated.
Not a great attribute for a company director.

The Police union tells us, via TV news, some Police struggle to pay their rent or mortgages, and some use food banks.

Meanwhile Robbo is offered $639k plus. p.a.

I'm not sure whether that's what he was offered, or that's what he asked for?

Either way, hands up everybody who thinks he deserves it for 2nd in command?

What's the Chancellor on?
$800k?

No wonder Otago are skrewed financially .. WTF are they teaching their stewdents then ?

Exercises in Couch Burning, so the Uni can add an extra line on their budgets for new ones
to be lent out round the joint for more of the same ?

The Chancellor is usually a ceremonial role. Vice-Chancellor usually has the Chief Executive role.

Good to see the useless arsehole Robertson out of Parliament.

If only he will leave NZ like Ardern and piss off like her altogether.

I have to say, so far as NZ is concerned…Grant Robertson was a real bummer.

Robertson was complicit in Ardern's destructive outcomes. No way should he be let off the hook for his abysmal actions in power. He has an unwarranted high opinion of himself. I would go as far as saying delusional.

Yes some on here have the attention span of a whitebait.. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to steer us through the crisis's we have been through.

GDP: It’s official - we’re in recession

New Zealand has entered a recession, with suspicions finally confirmed today.

Gross domestic product (GDP) fell 0.1 per cent in the December 2023 quarter, compared with the September quarter.

Economists traditionally define a recession as two successive quarters in which the economy contracts.

GDP per capita fell 0.7 per cent in the last three months of the year, Stats NZ said today.

And real gross national disposable income fell 1.4 per cent.

The economy shrank despite record migration levels and population growth.

Thanks Robbo & Labour
