Labour govt 2020-23

[blackcap]

$105 million to the media to enable the narrative was a part of it. Those funds carried demands to run issues close to Labour's heart. And the cynical dear leader of the time did it all with a toothy grin. How sweet she was. How sweet the fruits are at Harvard, mingling with the Clooneys and Trudeau.

She was the most evil and vile leader we (NZ) have ever had. Under the toothy grin was/is a Marxist demon.

Nothing wrong with the current Minister of Sports ( whoever they are) to attend the RWC final to represent New Zealand.

Once in 4 years and the last time NZ was in the semi finals was 8 years ago.

Absolutely appropriate expenditure vs the hundreds of millions of dollars pxssed down the drain on consultants with bigger all benefit for NZers.

Sports can lift a country’s morale and mood like thing else (except a huge major oil find off Taranaki perhaps) so let’s lift our sights higher.

Well, I don't know about you, but no matter how people feel about the game - It will make no difference at all to the game (or its outcome) whether Robertson is flying for top tax payer dollars to Europe to watch the game, or whether he watches it here at the tele (or not at all). Will make no difference in the result.

Just wasting tax payers money. That's what both Labour and National are about - clearly we moved from the rain into the eaves. Just swapping the colour of the troughers.

Guess that's why Presidents, Heads of State, Country Leaders and Ministers of Sports from all countries go to finals of major sporting events to represent their countries - to waste taxpayers' monies.

They go for the popularity boost with voters.. bread and circuses.

Finally a post I can agree with BP on. Total waste of money and totally unnecessary for any politician to be there at the game.

You could make a tenable argument for an MFAT beauracrat (promote NZ etc) but even that is a stretch.

Waste of my and your money that Grant going. Could be better spent on homelessness or something else.

Meanwhile, in cloud cuckoo Labourland, Hipkins is living on borrowed times :

I'm sure the Ireland Embassy is paying for Mallard to be there. He could've filled in for Robertson :-)

And here's Hipkins' contribution to the culinary cuisine scene in Aotearoa - as befits his pathetic & minimal contribution to the greater good of NZ with the feeble mindset and pitifully low intellect of Mr "Spray & Walkaway' Chiipie :

In two or three years she maybe will do a TED talk about misogyny.

Maybe posts like this can feature in it.

Nothing to do with Misogony mate. Key was a ****er too as was Cunliffe etc. But Jacinda outshone him in that department.
