    Ardern's answer? Change the subject. What a piece of work!

    Her arrogance & utter contempt for the average Kiwis who work hard to support their families will be the clueless one’s undoing.

    What will it take for them to realise that though, another term after this one? Cringe.

    Voters often vote against the party they don't want even if they dislike the mob they vote for . And not many want National under Collins, so if the Nats don't find a new leader Ardern is there for at least one more term.

    One possibility, which I have raised before, is that Jacinda Ardern does not stay as leader and resigns, as John Key did in 2016. Notwithstanding the current high approval ratings the current government is vulnerable. A significant cohort of highly indebted home owners are extremely vulnerable to any upward movement in interest rates. The government is struggling with housing, thousands live in motels. In health we are on the cusp of a Nursing strike with a vast chasm between what is being offered and what members expectations are.

    Labour plus Greens looks very viable for 2023 at present. Good time to hope for the best, plan for the worst.

    The Clueless Cindy knows only two things - Covid crisis (her answer to every question) & throwing taxpayers' & increasingly, borrowed monies at every problem. No accountability & no transparency.

    So much wasteful spending everywhere you can see but she is busy breeding beneficiaries & Labour's voter base - smart politics but at the expense of hard working resilient & self motivated NZers, and future generations are going to pay big time.

    Not a clue about businesses & economic matters so yes, I believe she will bail out when she knows the almighty mess she has created and will be leaving behind a stinking big mess for somebody else to clean up.

    What a nation of sheep NZers are.

    She won't resign until she has got them over the line for a 3rd term, then she'll be off to the U.N in some capacity. Betcha.

    I could not agree more. We will be paying the price for this spend up for years to come. What's more the very people she is claiming to represent are going to ware the brunt of the damage.
    Sure we can pick up social welfare to those less fortunate if primarily we focus on maintaining a boyant successful economy, but unless that is encouraged by government, where will the money for the spend up come from ?

    The policies may increase migration to countries such as Australia, that isn't as actively strangulating their economy through bans on oil, gas and mineral exploration for example. If that drains more of the skilled workforce, we're going to be in some serious trouble.
