'Today ... we are ready': Ardern reveals midnight move to level 1
Well done NZ (well most of) and congrats to our PM leading us through this.
Yes, she remains an excellent communicator. I reckon she gave us 2 and a 1/2 minutes of spin before she finally announced Level 1. It has become a sad feature of her announcements. Heavily politicised propaganda campaign.
FRAME THE NARRATIVE. The first rule of modern propaganda and Ardern is a master at it.
When asked about the "caretaker" role a government takes 3 months out from an election she was at her evasive best, knowing full well they have a 20 billion dollar slush fund to dish lollies from leading into the election, and can claim it was already allocated.
A master class in cynical political opportunism. One for political historians to salivate over for generations. We're just the poor schmucks who will have to pay for it.
Well done NZ. Smile and feel good about level 1 while you have been royally screwed over.
Bang on observations, jonu.
I have confidence that post lockdown L2, the focus will shift back to economic matters.
Reality will hit soon enough that NZ has an incompetent government incapable of delivering economic growth and stability.
The youth of NZ would have already worked out by now that Comrade Cindy is not going to lead them Into the promised land of affordable housing, relevant education and career opportunities.
In fact, this government has betrayed every economic promise it made in 2017 to steal the election at that time. And the youths and their children are going to pay for the debt burden which will be passed to them for generations to repay.
Bring on September!
Kiwibuild, anyone? 🤪
Ok JT, prepandamic, of these election promises made by sweet Cindy...your beloved... one of them even a "Captain's Call", tell which she has delivered upon.
1. Kiwibuild...abject failure
2. Immigration...figures barely different than under National
3. Capital Gains Tax...abandoned due to political expediency
4. Child Poverty....stats worse than under National
5. Auckland Light Rail....kicked to the kerb for the forseeable future. (meant to be half built by now)
Hey why dont you email our leader comrade Jonu and give her feedback like" Goddess Jacinda your speech today was too short, it did not give me enough time, longer next time please"
GO NZ!
I’d add a couple of things here .
Biggest health crisis in a generation , where was the minister of health ?
Biggest industry in NZ stopped overnight , where was the minister of tourism
Just for good measure , the Transmission Gully project is in a spot of trouble ... I have no confidence the MOT Twyford
has the business nouse to get a good outcome here ...
Youve never made a mistake either, get off your mountain bike and cut the pooh. This govt is learning fast and i believe in letting people get back on their horse and learn from it, with your attitude i suggest you get off your high horse and admit that hopefully youve learnt from your own mistakes unless you are perfect like balance thinks he is. Couldnt have done any better then this govt.check out Boris and his minister who would not take responsibility let alone apologise for his 400km transgression.Get a life , get real, make some mistakes, and LEARN.
About this learning fast .... Twyford Kiwibuild fail , Auckland light rail ... fail , when’s he going to learn ? About to have another disaster with Transmission Gully . I’m happy to forgive mistakes but not a serial offender . The fact is this government lacks competent ministers , you offer no alternative but to say it’s only a mistake ....
