Labour govt 2020-23

[Balance]

‘Parts of northern Auckland remain without power for the second day, amid some of the lowest temperatures so far this winter.

Much of Warkworth and neighbouring Wellsford, Snells Beach, Omaha and Matakana have been without power since 7am Wednesday.

On Thursday morning, a smaller number of houses were without power, as people woke to another cold morning of about 5C.

On Wednesday, the power outage caused major problems for local schools, with several closing due to the disruption.

Meanwhile in central Auckland, Remuera and Newmarket have been facing internet troubles.

Internet provider Chorus shows outages remain in the central Auckland region with further outages in Onehunga and East Tāmaki.’

Last one to leave NZ to the parasites, beneficiaries and losers being bred by Hipkins/Ardern now need not switch off the light as this Labour/Green government’s energy strategy & policies take effect.

Forget about increasing power generation to
Meet the future needs of NZ, just follow India with its brown outs and black outs.

Accelerate the descend of NZ from first world to third world - Labour’s vision for NZ.

‘A woman is accused of using forged reference letters to secure a manager’s role at Oranga Tamariki before allegedly fraudulently obtaining more than $2 million.

Neha Sharma, 34, of Christchurch, was due to appear in the Christchurch District Court on Wednesday facing four charges after an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).

However, when her case was called it was revealed she was in India.

The SFO alleges that between January and February 2021 Sharma used written references, knowing them to be forged, from two people to get a job as property facilities manager at Oranga Tamariki.

It’s then alleged that between July 25, 2021 and October 27, 2022, she and Amandeep Sharma obtained a pecuniary advantage, with 103 payments totalling $2.1m made to Divine Connection Limited in relation to 326 invoices by Divine Connection to Oranga Tamariki.

Amandeep Sharma is the director of Divine Connection. The company is listed on the Companies Office as being involved in building and house construction.

The SFO said Neha Sharma, whose maiden name according to the charge sheets is Chandrasekaran, omitted to disclose her conflict of interest in relation to Divine Connection, with intent to deceive Oranga Tamariki, where there was a duty to disclose it to them.

Court documents list the invoices which include work or services carried out on various addresses and residential properties in Christchurch and greater Canterbury. The addresses include Te Puna Wai (youth justice facility), Te Oranga (care and protection residence), Te Poutama Ārahi Rangtahi (residential treatment programme for boys aged 12-18 with at-risk behaviour).

The pair also face a charge of money laundering $791,500. Charge sheets allege they removed the money from New Zealand in seven transactions in April and May.’

‘The economy entered a recession in the first quarter falling 0.1 per cent, in line with market expectations.

Data from Stats NZ this morning showed how the economy shrank in the first three months of 2023.

And revised data showed GDP contracted by 0.7 per cent in the final quarter of 2022, worse than the 0.6 per cent recorded earlier.

Two successive quarters of economic contraction are widely considered a technical recession.’

Is it time for Robbo to front up with some Labour Bullsh*t O'clock to deliver some feel good
to cover the disaster that his party's fiscal mismanagement and the little side games with
the equally dozy Reserve Bank contingent have managed to orchestrate ?

Perhaps too hard or one of those 'Labour - you done it again and F***** up monumentally' moments
for a spinning mob of clueless incompetents clearly on the way out ?

Someone is on the money today:

”A recession is when your neighbour loses their job. A recovery is when Chris Hipkins loses his”

Give that man a medal ..

[nztx]

How's the shaping going - Robbo ?

Full circle yet to out the back door by twice or three times what your mob started with ?

Found any more bank accounts, slush funds or new sectors to plunder .. or are they all deflated ?

Free tickets to Sky City with Star Status arrived yet

Meanwhile Chippie is headed off to China to try to source Christmas Turkeys that aren't burnt to a crisp,
but won't want to tell the Chinese what happened experimenting with a new recipe on our own

Household spending squeeze continues as BNZ follows ANZ in mortgage rate rises

Rising home loan rates have combined with large increases in house insurance premiums to bring about a big leap in the costs of owning a home.

Insurers have hiked house insurance premiums as a result of the extreme weather events in January and February, which caused tens of thousands of insurance claims.

You poor unfortunate peasants who swallowed Cindy's home ownership spin .. Enjoy ..

Adrian & Robbo asked to be included on the card & send much love

NZ in recession: Proof Reserve Bank 'did too much', economist says


"Kiwibank chief economist Jarrod Kerr says worse is still to come."

..National’s finance spokesperson, Nicola Willis, said the economy was now “incredibly fragile”.

“Excessive inflation, high interest rates, a severe balance of payments deficit and now recession: this is a dangerous combination that threatens New Zealanders’ livelihoods.

“While the Government continues to make excuses, the data does not lie: New Zealand is now in worse shape than many of the countries we compare ourselves with including Australia, Canada and the US, all of which have faced similar global challenges but none of which face the toxic economic predicament we now find ourselves in.
