Labour govt 2020-23

[JBmurc]

I think Labour have realised they are going to lose power so are now on a mission to spend as much money as possible and do as much damage to the books as they can. Restraint is just not a word in their vocabulary.

They did that last time under Helen >> TOLL holding couldn't believe their luck being able to get anything for Kiwi rail ... $$300mill tax payer dollars later we have an ongoing nightmare I see just got another $350mill bail out FFS!!! .. All Labour are good at is throwing money at problems they help create .. As many mistakes that National made Bill English was pretty tight on the spending front ... but this lot Billion here Billion there .. no problem we have the nations credit card...

panda has a deeply cynical answer for everything.

Says the person ranting about spending, even though we are in one of the best shape in the OECD.

There is a world outside little old NZ.

National gave 2b+ in treaty settlements and whanau ora.

Blue is good, red bad we get the idea.

National also started the co-governance trend.

Yeah - National didn't fund core services as they should have been and we went backward in Health and Education (and more) investment.
Really set us up to fail with all the immigration we had at the time.

So what do Labour do for health yesterday, fund tvnz a bucket load more than health. Shows you where labours priority lies.

Pathetic how 4.5 years in power and Labour & Ardern still attempt at every turn to blame previous governments for Ardern’s inability to deliver on anything!

The only thing she knows to do is SPEND, SPEND and TAX TAX TAX.

$1.9 billion for mental health for it to go backwards.

Billions of dollars and thousands of additional staff for Kainga Ora into housing and she turned a self-described crisis into an unmitigated disaster. Where’s the 100,000 new houses?

Waiting list for housing up 200% and emergency housing costing more than $1.2m a day!

Then, there’s the failure of the $3 billion Provincial Growth Fund to deliver any projects of benefit.

What about the 1,800 extra police personnel?

The 1 billion trees?

The list goes on and on and on.

All spin and no delivery - this budget is no different.

At least you stopped calling the PM Cindy

So, with comrade Cinders at the helm, is NZ at less risk of being overrun by Vlad the Invader, or will the Chinese be here first, via the rogue state of Solomon Islands?
