    Yes, because you want Labour to run up as much debt and create as many new public servants as possible, then you will be scanning the National and ACT alternative budgets like a hawk so you can howl about ‘cruel cuts’. Labour have a history of trying to get incoming governments to swallow ‘dead rats’. Actually, the way Labour operates is with ‘rat cunning’.

    We always hear that Labour policies and budgets are ‘fully costed’. Then when it comes to the actual delivery it all falls apart and you get the chronic non-delivery and waste that have been the hallmarks of this government. I can just imagine Panda howling about an ACT alternative budget (“the numbers don’t add up!”) while Robbo’s budget blowing out by $5 billion in 2 months is apparently completely normal.

    Other political parties overseas have done just that. Otherwise we must assume the tax cuts will deliver even more debt than Labour.
    From panda-nz, the ignoramus Labour peasant who wanted Ryman to go broke by loading up with more debt to do a share buyback when the company was close to defaulting on its debt burden.

    Just like this Labour government, you have no idea of economic reality and it’s all about loading up with debt until a company or country goes broke.

    That’s how much credibility you have - zero.

    Well imagine the fallout if ryman did what act has done - put out unaudited statements based on legendary assumptions.

    So you are seriously telling us that Labours ‘fully costed’ policies were / are worth the paper they are written on? Was KiwiBuild delivered ‘on time and on budget’? Do you believe in unicorns?

    The Left delight is this kind of stuff. Ignoring the total farce that is their own fiscal management while demanding that the other side provide ‘audited’ numbers.

    View from the Left:

    “$5 billion (in 2 months) represents (only) 1.3% of our GDP. Take some deep breaths and get a grip.”

    also -

    “We demand to see National and ACT’s fully costed and audited numbers!”

    DoC paying bonus of up to $3500 a year for civil servants’ Māori language proficiency

    Good Godfathers .. whatever next

    Does the same bonus structure apply to other Languages - say Chinese for tourism, Indian etc etc ?


    Hopefully DOC saved some in the pot to save themselves from extinction

    It’s an endless river of borrowed cash. No wonder the Budget has been blown to smithereens.

    Labour tramples its principles in a grab for the centre vote


    Things are getting desperate - folks .. when the Lieutenants dont know what the Captain wants and are all
    getting their projects kicked sideways while the Captain replots the course for the mythical centre line


    How the trojans hiding within going - Capitain ? - still hard at work gnawing their way out from inside unnoticed
