    This makes the Greens spendup in Taranaki look almost sensible. That sneaky Grant Robertson has been in the pork barrel at our expense. Clear and Transparent....that's what we were promised wasn't it?

    "Clearly" they are happy to spend our money to win seats without even a business plan or evidence of economic benefit. Labour "Transparently" has it snout in our trough for its own political purposes.

    Gee it must be a hell of a rush to have billions of dollars of other peoples money to wallow in while you guzzle at the trough. The moniker "Piggy" might just have a new incarnation in that rotund Finance Minister who is sniffling his way through our grandchildren's taxes for his own power grab.

    2019 was to be year of delivery, remember?

    Officially, 2020 is the year of Spin to cover up the non delivery.

    What a bunch of incompetents.

    Wow that's a damning list!

    The only one that they might get a boost on is the renewable energy due to the smelter closure, which of course, is none of their doing.

    The more their failings are exposed, the less Clear and Transparent they get.

    One is obviously more valuable than the other and that is the reality of society.

    Unworthy does not come into it but that's how peasants think and that term & it’s inappropriate use is what defines tim23. You can take the peasant out of the village but you cannot take the village out of the peasant.
    Well the cleaner and the supermarket worker were essential services recently - highly valued (but poorly paid) then but your memory has quickly faded.. Meanwhile the Engineer (highly skilled no argument from me there) was probably still being highly paid at home.

    Government of incompetents designating supermarkets & cleaning services essential - does not change the fact that there are plenty of workers who can do the menial job of the cleaner & supermarket worker - in fact, their pay should be reduced to reflect the increased supply of tens of thousands of available workers due to the mishandling of the lockdown by the team of incompetents.

    Welcome to real world, grasshopper.

    Can't be that many peasant class thinkers like tim23 out there, surely?

    3 weeks is a long time in politics. Jacinda's lacklustre performance last night, where she showed once again she has little but slogans, may have reduced the gap a little.
