Labour govt 2020-23

The bike bridge was a crazy idea when there's so many higher priorities , & few MP's even looked convinced. Where did it come from?

Cyclists can already cross the harbour from many points around the North Shore by throwing their bikes on ferries from Hobsonville, Beachhaven, Birkenhead, Bayswater, Devonport, Whangaparoa plus Half Moon Bay in the Eastern suburbs. (not that many commuters do)

I would much rather my taxes were spent on a cycle bridge than being put towards salary increases for nurses and teachers. How dare they try to aspire to saving for house deposits to establish homes in the towns where they work. House prices up about 30% in a year. /sarcasm

That this cycle bridge was even contemplated speaks volumes as to priorities.

Quite right, and will prove to be a huge flop - unless we see a subsidised bicycle purchase scheme - or tax funded bicycles issued to all citizens. C'mon Labour - get in behind that - 'bikes for all', it's all part of being kind!

It's really difficult to understand why labour didn't include the Maori party as a coaltion partner.

The cycle bridge had to be a weird proposal, when even Julie Ann Genter expressed doubts about it!

Gibberish use of language disguised as Maori-speak to get away with incoherence garbage.

She was obviously addressing just token Maori speaking voters and the do gooders.

Have taxpayers’ money but no money sense - just spending for political gains, that’s Cindy & her idiotic team of incompetents.

Labour rely heavily on the Maori vote & the double-dipping boost that comes with them having a strangle-hold on a bunch of race based 'extra' seats, plus getting the paty vote of Maori as well.
Labour therefore wants to be seen a the 'true' Maori party...the last thing they want to do is legitimise the Maori party and see them make further inroads on 'their' base.

Labour have cooked the housing goose and sealed our fate. Total inaction and non-delivery on 100,000 KiwiBuild houses, total inaction and non-delivery on rampant credit creation and speculation....and now we have inflation on a tear and a tight labour market......and suddenly Robbo is giving the Reserve Bank extra tools and bringing in RSE workers. All far too late, as usual.

This is the sort of misfits masquerading as ministers in Cindy's team of incompetents. And clearly, racist to the core against pakeha.

Williams was asked if she agreed with a statement issued by the group People Against Prisons Aotearoa after Police Commissioner Andrew Coster confirmed ARTs would not go ahead.

"We are committed to disarming, defunding, and abolishing the bloodstained, racist institution of policing and replacing it with community justice," spokesperson Emilie Rākete said at the time.

Williams said she was "not giving them the time of day", referring to People Against Prisons Aotearoa's statement, but she did not condemn Rākete's words either.

No wonder the silent majority has had enough and it will be interesting to see how far Cindy will continue to stand alongside such racist ministers as she has in her cabinet.

Another dog whistle from Judith and you just lap it up.
Judith is the one who is trying to divide the country with her continual race-baiting.

Because she didn't condemn the word then she must be agreeing with them, even though she said she didn't?
That isn't the way the real world works.
What a joke of an argument.
