    Cheap and irrelevant remark - and you know that.

    Sad - Lefties are miserable when in opposition and not better when in government! Why don't you guys stop complaining and do something positive instead? Otherwise the time of being in power might be short ... which - on the other hand, would be a good thing, so just keep complaining ;

    Funny to learn that you guys spent (well, allocated) already all the taxpayers money at your avail after only two months in power - and this is assuming a constant 3% economic growth for the next 5 years. Pretty optimistic if we look into the past. What possibly could go wrong?

    We better don't have another Earthquake or GFC during the Left reign ... we couldn't afford to pay for it.

    No more cheap or irrelevant than your "smokes and booze post" Or the posts on tomatoes and food banks although the Salvation Army were happy to take them. The reason being the poor cannot afford the Morrocan spices or the ham hock let alone the Pinot gris at $50.00 a bottle.
    Yeah, maybe they should have the culinary skills to make a resonable meal out of cheaper food but sadly many don't as the news article said.
    The "right" seems to be miserable and moaning at the moment to, but do not worry if the promised 3% growth is too optomistic taxes can be increased to cover the shortfall and to recover some of the profits generated by following Milton Friedmans policies.

    Really? So you are saying the Left is not just incompetent but as well a bunch of liars? I am disappointed, westerly - remember - Jacinda clearly promised prior to the elections not to increase taxes ...

    I dont think joyce was lying now. He knew all the hidden $billion dollar holes where national hadn't funded as well as holding back the climate change report. What a mess. National has been acting like trump downunder when it comes to people, environment, culture and fairness unfort.

    Yes. Labour will claim that throughout their term even though nothing was hidden. But it will give them some cover when their budget turns to custard

    The new gov't should be improving on this https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/ind...igure-revealed and we'll see how they compare when they already said they inherited a mess.

    That's just to set the stage so that once they've turned it into a mess, which is not going to take very long, they can continue to blame the previous administration for 'the mess they inherited.'
