    Labour, National want to get elected so they have not been doing anything radical enough to make a difference. It is more important for Labour to pretend they are doing more. When home* ownership is priced out of the reach of more than 50% of those who actually vote, maybe that is when something may happen?

    *a home with appropriate amenities for their circumstances.

    After being warned about bubble rules to Australia ...still many went mainly to placate their travel lust ....PM warned if this happens what has happened we wont come to your rescue so flyers be aware ...still they went

    Now instead of letting them become aware of wrong things could happen by facing the music ...our beloved PM has buckled and did total volte face ....Free pre arranged MIQ for NSW returnees ...total waste of tax payers money .

    Also a very wrong precedent has been set for future bubbles ...

    What a shame that this PM is only an attention seeker and throwing away public money person ...lost my respect fully now .

    It is another volte face. Many travellers were not travelling for the sake of it. Many visited family, often after having been unable to visit sick relatives. However Ardern was generous with the money of taxpayers who stayed home for the sake of caution during a pandemic.

    Perfect marketing spin on wasting taxpayers money...

    The myth making of Maori contribution to anything government - all generously funded by taxpayers with no heed of restraint.

    This is what Cindy & her team of incompetents do - so they can stay in power on a divide & rule strategy.

    Excerpts :

    "Independent economic commentator and former Reserve Bank staffer Michael Reddell described the sculpture as an "unnecessary use of public money, unfortunately consistent with the rather over-generous Funding Agreement the Government reached with the bank ..."

    Reddell, said the bank's insistence that it is applying a "Te Ao Māori" (Māori world) strategy to responsibilities like monetary policy decision-making smacked of "Wellington feelgoodism" combined with "[Governor Adrian] Orr pursuing his personal agendas at public expense."

    In 2018, Orr took the reins at the Reserve Bank. Later that year the bank took the name, Te Pūtea Matua, and, somewhat controversially, invented a story for itself based around the Māori tree god."

    Tree god? Really?

    It's not okay to apply mainstream religious values these days in government matters but it seems anything goes when it involves Maori 'values' & religious beliefs.

    NZers better wake up to this insidious Maori myth making by those in power - designed to create two separate states in NZ.

    LOL - Completely the wrong conclusion from my post. A volte face is not complimenting the PM. Was it just because I said many travellers had been visiting family (after what may often have been a long and often painful separation) as opposed to having a frivolous jolly holiday? I know of one person who visited Australia - that was to see her daughter. She knew the risks and she would have been only too happy to have paid for isolation on her return.

    It certainly shows an attitude of largesse in what should be a time of fiscal restraint. We can blame that on Ardern and Robertson, however the Reserve Bank is pretty much its own beast, but will have picked up on the helicopter money attitude of Ardern. Remember Orr asking permission of Te Roroa for something to do with Tane Mahuta? Looks like he has kept the relationship cosy.

    The government is apparently not implementing He Puapua, they are just (so far) following the exact same steps laid out in the He PuaPua report.

    Compare and contrast the below excerpt from He Puapua with the below announcement from Willie Jackson.

    (It is clear that the media are going to portray as a 'racist' anyone who speaks out about the looming incremental implementation of He Puapua ).

    Yeah, aint it weird. The Left want to implement apartheid. Much as in the US, in some areas they are trying to dismantle antidiscrimination laws that were established from the Civil Rights struggles in the 60s. Identity Politics madness. It will get worse. I only hope there isn't a violent pendulum swing to the far right as a result. If there is, much of this idiocy will be used against the Left as they will have already enabled discrimination.

    I think civil wars are the most likely outcome of these crazy policies. I expect it in my lifetime.
