Labour govt 2020-23

Copying from newspaper articles and making supposedly smart schoolyard comments, is not posting on current issues.

You are the twit.

Don't take your eye off Govt's Beehive schoolyard twits - will ya .. but you mightn't miss much

Do they know that you've jumped the fence and escaped again ?

The Media have the comings and mostly goings fairly well covered

Along with the truck full of potentially terminal issues Lab/Green have dug for themselves

Thanks for providing the further entertainment here .. and making yourself look stupid .. again

Hundreds of thousands of people on benefits, and now over 100,000 on the ‘Jobseeker’ benefit - yet we are told that unemployment is very low. Make it make sense.

‘A new weekly report from the Ministry of Social Development shows 564 more people are receiving a benefit. It increased from 352,944 on July 7 to 353,508 on July 14.

The JobSeeker Support benefit also saw an increase from 99,822 on July 7 to 100,302 on July 14 - an increase of 498 people.

comes as New Zealand's gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 0.1 percent this quarter, according to data from Statistics NZ, as rising interest rates continued to weigh in on the economy. It was the second-consecutive quarterly contraction, placing the country in a technical recession.

Independent economist Cameron Bagrie told AM on Tuesday the latest figures from the Ministry of Social Development are grim reading.

While the figures show a slight increase in people going on a benefit over the last week, Bagrie told AM co-host Laura Tupou they have been rapidly increasing since the start of the year.

"If you look at the headline numbers, we've seen a 9000 increase in the number of people on a welfare benefit since the start of May. The rolling average over the past four weeks is about a thousand additions," he said.

While more and more Kiwis are getting on a benefit, New Zealand's unemployment rate dropped to a record low of 3.2 percent in the first quarter of 2022 - the lowest it has been since 1986. It's currently at 3.4 percent.

Bagire told AM with more and more Kiwis getting a benefit and the unemployment rate being so low, it shows there is a structural issue with the economy.

"If we go back and have a look at the last five years, there have been 75,000 more people getting on a benefit at a time the unemployment rate has gone from 4.6 percent down to 3.4 percent," he said.

"So we have some of the strongest labour market conditions we've ever seen and we're still seeing welfare dependency rise, so there is a structural issue that needs to be looked at down the track."’

Hardly surprising that the numbers on welfare are starting to rocket upwards now that all of labour’s wasteful and deceitful policies are coming home to roost.

Everything that this useless Labour government does is about spin, window dressing and hiding the truth from the public - because they have delivered nothing of the grandiose promises they made to get into power.

All about optics - never about substance or delivery.

Cannot deliver on housing? Fudge the numbers.

Cannot deliver on child poverty? Provide school lunches which are thrown away & fed to pigs.

Cannot deliver on law & order? Promise to get tough on crime less than 3 months before the election!

Just goes on and on.

It's strange they claim there's media bias but post non stop articles from stuff and NZ Herald.

Very good point Panda

It will be interesting if some digging is done to see if there are any party connections behind these serial posters.

I am happy to declare that I have no connection to any political party.

Who cares about your declaration about political party? We all know how Labour shills (like Ardern) operate - spin, BS and lies.

Your declaration is not worth a bucket of Ardern's spit.

That's a great cartoon.

Correct nobody would care about my lack of a connection but they might care about the serial posters connections to political parties.

Nobody in there right mind would spend as much time as you three do on here without some sponsored connection.
Wouldn't it be ironic if a dirty politics type scandal discovered just before the election tipped the scales.
Well let's see shall we.

Yet here’s where you also seem to always be; you may post a bit less than others but on the other hand you’re very busy counting up other people’s posts and writing letters to Nicky Hagar about vast conspiracies you’ve uncovered.

How about you stop the bleating about others and instead starting posting about all the good things that are happening within your beloved Labour party.

I'm not voting for Labour, so why would I do that?

Nothing vast about it. Just worthy of investigation considering the nature and abundance of posts.
It would be highly embarrassing for any party if any of you were found to have connections.

I sincerely hope Nicky Hagar does an investigation into who are posting here.

I for one believe that the likes of dobby41, Blue Skies and westerly are either paid Labour Party spinsters or at lest, Labour Party members given their faithful and repetitive regurgitation of Labour’s misinformation, spin and lies.

Could be a real election issue indeed for Nicky to uncover how Labour’s cyber staff have been spreading the garbage around.
