    It makes sense to everyone except those in Labour who had nine years in Opposition to come up with decent policy.

    No CGT, No free tertiary education and fighting teacher pay demands - Looks like this government is turning into another Tory government after all!

    I guess they just realise that talk is cheap. Much easier to dream up unrealistic promises on the opposition benches than running a government. They probably curse by now the day when Winston put them into government.

    Change can be uncomfortable and disruptive in the short term - and can affect some more than others. Not enough voters yet want it badly enough?

    Stumbled across the announcement of the big spend on Wellington’s transport woes

    Mutual admiration society of Minister Twyford, GWRC Chair Laidlaw and Mayor Lester

    What a trio of no hopers ...Wellington is doomed

    Lester positioning himself as an MP ....now the country is doomed

    Labor Australia should have learnt from Labour NZ and replaced the Little clone in Shorten with somebody who smiles and had a bit of charisma (even if not substance). Result might have been different.

    At least a Labor Government in Australia can’t be blamed for the upcoming economic woes that that country is going to have.

    Mike Greer must be happy as ...building spec homes in low demand areas and getting the government to buy them if they don’t sell or make up the difference if he sells them cheap.

    Good one Phil

    Here is the link: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA190...rs-worried.htm

    Yep, hard to understand why the government is wasting valuable taxpayer money to build homes nobody wants. Probably too cheap.

    I suppose this a competition which government minister can waste most taxpayer money?

    But I suppose Shane Jones is still leading with his regional slash fund, but yes, it looks like Phil is catching up ...
