Talk about a shell game. We will cut taxes but don't worry your local council will take it off you.
NZ has one of the worst redistribution rates of Central Government Revenue to regions in the OECD.
NZ used to redistribute around 18% - 20% now down to around 10%. Something has to give.
Still no answer from NAFT on our water infrastructure crisis.
Is this like state housing under Key?
Nothing to see here?
Only one of the biggest liabilities NZ is facing.
Rates rises hit pensioners hard and they usually tend to support the right wing more than the left too.

Councils have been squawking about needing to put up rates significantly long before the current lot got elected.
Disengenous with our Jacindaphile friend to conflate long standing Council Resource challenges with government tax cuts.
But he is a desperate fellow (who may or may not smell like a fart too!)

Of course it has everything to do with it.
NAFT pulled three waters and have left Council's high & dry with no alternative plan.
What do you think the Government could have done with the billions of tax revenue? Redistributed it to Councils.
The previous Government had a plan, like it or not. NAFT are staring into the headlights.
Yes it's been an issue building for decades.
But what is the Government doing about it?
Perhaps pause & think before you post or have you know pride?

Given the results of the recent election, I can say on behalf of most NZers... we did not like it.
You need to accept this before it tears you apart.
Now hush.

Can't wait for Daytr and the rest of the Jacindapoops to gush on here about how impressed they are with the current govt boosting Pharmac funding so much ($1.7b vs Labours proposed $250M).
They tend to be very objective you see, so I am sure they were very pleased to read about that.
I am just suprised the thread isn't pumping with all of their supportive posts!

Media says it's doom and gloom for baldy and his pals.
Winnie doomed, getting the boot again I am told.
And if we had an election tomorrow Hipkins will be back in power with his good mates (alleged thieves, modern-day slavers and confirmed separatists).

One or two tv journos, as you would say, fapping themselves over this story.
However it's only a total of 48% vs 47%, so within a margin of error.
Nevertheless, what do people think are the litmus issues that have swung the pendulum towards the left?

The realisation that they voted for a team who were right in saying that things were bad (or not great) but ignored the part where they had ideas that would make them all worse.
