    Scathing criticism of Helen Clark by a Geneva based UN Watchdog. And we wonder where Cindy learnt her trade?

    UN Watch appears to be some sort of US based Jewish lobby group. Probably anti UN at every opportunity.

    The Cynical One in full flight here.

    Note how she waffles and bulls***s her way around the issue. I wonder how Cynical Cindy would be treating this if it was a female victim. Keep being kind Cindy. You're such a guiding light of moral principles for the world to see. Go Cindy! Let's not do this! Let's keep moving. Next stop Ihumatao!

    Housing affordability is going to crash this governments support if they're not careful.

    Don't they ever learn.
    For them to be looking at giving more money to first home buyers $5,000 or $10,000 Home start grant, is just going to push prices up by the same amount just like when they increased student accommodation allowances & landlords said thanks, we'll take that!

    It's reached crisis point, forget the separation of politics & Reserve Bank policy conventions. Govern.
    National's Andrew Bayly has sound arguments, require the $28B being pumped into the economy by the Reserve Bank to be ring fenced for productive parts of the economy such as building new houses & local businesses.

    There are cases being quoted on ST of people being turned down by their bank for a loan to invest in shares like OCA when it was recently at 68c (now 136) , but almost encouraged to borrow money to buy another investment property.

    Cindy & her team of incompetents have no freaking idea what to do with the rampaging house prices - not a clue.

    Those of us with properties sit back and see our wealth multiple effortlessly -$100k, $500k - easy!

    Those who are trying to get into the property ladder cannot save fast enough to bridge the wealth multiplication quantum of rising house prices.

    Enjoy the benefits and pains of a Clueless Cindy all talk and no substance government - don't say you weren't told it would happen.

    It takes a bit to pull the wool over the eyes of Barry Soper....the old dog has seen it all before.

    Note the comments about Mahuta as well. We're in for a rough ride on the diplomacy front with these naive fools in the saddle.

    Rampaging house prices and Cindy is like a possum caught in the middle of the road with the headlights.

    But guess what?

    In Opposition, she was so concerned :

    Excerpt : "see Jacinda Ardern’s 2015 tweet: “John Key just told the gallery he doesn't think Auckland houses are over valued. THEY'RE EARNING MORE THAN PEOPLE!!! For the love of...”

    Not a clue - all spin and no delivery.

    Enjoying the massive increase in my property values, I am - pity about the mugs who voted for Cindy who thought she would deliver affordable housing for them.

    The lure of the treasury benches meant her concern was jettisoned!

    In the year to October 2020 the median house in Auckland rose in value by $140K….This gain when realised will remain untaxed in the hand of the owner-occupier. The biggest financial gain for the median house Auckland home owner* is coming from their house and not from their taxable income. Yet it is personal income which ironically Ardern wants to tax even more. Go figure!

    On the shelf behind her office chair, Ardern should swap the photo of PM Savage for PM Key.

    *...if they have been able to buy the house they live in, that is.

    For a owner-occupier the gain is largely irrelevant when the realise the gain (sell) as they will probably buy another house at a similarly inflated price.
    If you have more than one property then you are onto a winner.
