Labour govt 2020-23

[Logen Ninefingers]

Two former cabinet ministers who’ve cooked their goose. Hopefully their electorates give them the boot

‘Labour has announced its list of candidates for the 2023 election, with former Cabinet ministers Michael Wood and Phil Twyford among the many now relying on winning electorate seats to remain in Parliament.’

‘Labour has announced its list of candidates for the 2023 election, with former Cabinet ministers Michael Wood and Phil Twyford among the many now relying on winning electorate seats to remain in Parliament.’

Means Wood and Twyford are going to have to work their butts off until October to stay in their jobs - makes sense for Labour but what about the electorates represented by these two 'losers'?

Who wants ex-ministers to represent them?

As dumb as it gets to remove GST from fruit & veges.

Labour & Hipkins are hell bent on making the supermarkets & the wealthy even more profitable than they have been.

The indoctrinated Labour parasites and losers are too dumb and stupid however to realise that - just as they failed to see that the fuel subsidy mostly went to the already wealthy who did not need the government handout.

"Sunny Kaushal, chairperson of the Dairy and Business Owners’ Group, said removing GST from fresh fruit and vegetables was “one of those policies that sounds good unless you think about it a bit”.

“It's like giving those big supermarkets another 15% margin. This is going to be in the pockets of the supermarkets,” he said.

“Some prices might go down. But within a year or so it will become lost in the mists of inflation, supply chain issues, the war in Ukraine, storms and seasonality and so on.”

"A study by the International Monetary Fund in 2015 estimated that when goods were exempted from GST by governments in Europe “for various political reasons”, as little as 30% of the savings were commonly passed on."

Cyclone Recovery: Govt announces state highway repairs for Tairāwhiti, Wairoa, Hawke’s Bay, Coromandel and Northland

Over Five months on after the Cyclone & these tardy Labour dumb cl7%ks still haven't left the starting blocks, now trying to make Cyclone Repairs etc an Election issue for a little mileage

The way things are headed - None of these Roading Repairs will be being done under Labour's watch , obviously headed for a landslide of an upending out in a few months time


Clearly too deluded and clues bankrupt to be anywhere near Parliament

The Snails along the side of Road move faster than the Labour front bench on just about everything

I'll have to agree. It's desperation by the Labour Party because they got nothing. Because they've failed in all the major issues from housing, education, etc. they're putting on a show to fool people that removing GST on food will be the biggest feat like cream cheese. In reality this GST thing is small beans.

And it absolutely sounds like they are right - no substance to the spin coming from Hipkins & co that Kiri Allan is but an unfortunate poor wahine involved in an incident purely because of mental health issues.

Drip … drip … drip …. Ever more information coming out to embarrass Hipkins & Labour (Hipkins should have come clean instead of trying to spin his way through a drink driving & reckless driving episode by Kiri).

Turned out she tried to do a runner and had to be tracked down by police dogs. Then, she refused to be breath tested and to accompany the police so had yo be arrested.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/kiri-a...D3QRFYNW2CAYA/

Police dogs were used to track Kiri Allan’s movements and confirm she was driving the car that crashed in Wellington, according to a report.

Stuff reports it is understood police dogs were used to gather evidence - and that Allan was located about 500 metres from the crash site, while her car remained at the scene.

More revelations ....drip ....drip ....

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...-allans-office

Three further agencies – Waka Kotahi, the Ministry for the Environment and the Public Service Commission – raised concerns about workplace relations in Kiri Allan’s office, it has emerged.

And on three separate occasions, Allan had “robust discussions” with the transport agency’s staff relating to its response to Cyclone Gabrielle and the approach to longer-term recovery work from the storm.

Winnie can see stars in his eyes again.

That party vote for Labour is the lowest level since national got 24% in 1991 and a loss of half the seats 65 to 33 the largest loss since the start of MMP

[Panda-NZ-]

In that scenario winne can't go left because they need the maori party.

Still, he will have more leverage over National than Act regardless of percentage (as long as its over 5%)

Winnie has already ruled out going with Labour. So no need to get your hopes up.
