Talking to the bank and landlord? You can be sure that the conversations were had.
They wanted to accomodate people given we were staring down another depression at the time, you may have missed the sales pitch for the special accomodations they were making. Yes they would have made concenssions but not to everyone.
The cash splash to business would not really be of help due to its shoddy criteria and not be used "on the right things" as it were.

Well, I think all the non-one-eyed posters on this forum can read what you have written and is writing.
You can duck and dive for all you want but you wrote that two business people who lost their lives due to the lockdown and zero direct help from the government should refocus and do another plan, instead of waiting for help.
Great help the government was - zero and you have nothing to offer after all but duck and dive to try and cover-up your repugnant denigration of two individuals who needed help but received none.

Cindy at her most cynical - a two tier welfare system to buy votes ahead of the election. She has learnt well from Aunty Helen.

It is also impossible not to speculate that this is a rather unsubtle way of shoring up support for the government in the months leading up to the election. For the newly unemployed, a higher benefit for the period ending 30 October fits nicely with the 19 September election date.

The Cindy and Aunty Helen thing is a bit sexist and limp did you refer to English and Key as Uncle John and Uncle Bill?

Pollies have been fair game on the nick name front for ever. I seem to remember Labourites calling John Key jonkey with great delight...Piggy Muldoon wasn't exactly kind....
Cindy and Auntie Helen get off lightly IMHO. Cindy's sickening Comrade speech from 10 or so years ago should haunt her a lot more than it does. Not so much for its content but for the virtue signalling BS she learnt to trot out when it suited her from very early in her career.

No, but you must recall Marshall was Gentleman Jack, Holyoake was Kiwi Keith, Robt. Muldoon was Piggy Muldoon. Michael J Savage was Mickey. Most have had nick names - pretty harmless.

It is bad taste really to be using an example like this but his business was stuffed before the lockdown and it was just the last straw rather than the reason.

And then there is pullya benefit etc etc. Cindy is totally fair game. Shonkey was a favourite of mine too.
