Labour govt 2020-23

Everyone has a job already though. Full employment in NZ.

There are currently 98,000 unemployed people receiving the benefit in NZ.

No improvement at all 2 weeks after preventable self-isolation deaths.

Down the well worn path of racist dog whistle tropes

Is it any wonder none of the beneficiaries want to work?

The wonder is how you know so many beneficiaries. I can't imagine how a mate of John Key and fervent admirer of Lee Kuan Yew has a lot of social contact with beneficiaries or much understanding of their circumstances.

Which is why I see through the BS so easily.

Just so you know, I am currently helping a Maori Trust develop a trust property into social housing. Finance has been organised and it’s moving to resource consent & building consent.

You shouldn’t make assumptions so easily.

Have you ever get a kaumatua to exorcise a place of an unsettled Maori spirit so that the residents are then left in peace? If you ever did, you will have a better appreciation of Maori spirituality from Maoris who truly understand and are comfortable & confident with their culture.

Down the well worn path of racist dog whistle tropes

Oh, you again.

The one who loves to accuse others of spouting, yet acts like a spurt, a drip under pressure, yourself.

The one who never answers any question I or others ask, but instead presents more diversion than Ms Adhern at a press conference, more side stepping than a Maori All Black backline

This is NZ and the Labour Party government under Clueless Cindy today :

"The party faction that exerts disproportionate control in Ardern’s government has been hiding in plain sight for some time.

In May, former MP Tau Henare made it clear on TVNZ’s Q&A panel exactly who was calling the tune. Asked by host Jack Tame what he thought about Willie Jackson securing more than a billion dollars in the Budget for Maori initiatives, Henare replied: “At the end of the day, what this says is about [Maori] being around the table — in numbers — so that you can say to your mates: ‘Hey, take it or leave it. We can always leave.’”

Left-wing blogger Martyn Bradbury echoed these sentiments: “It didn’t matter that the Māori Party sat at John Key’s table when John Key owned the table. [But] the Māori Labour caucus reminds Jacinda she owns the table BECAUSE of them.”

The audaciousness of the Three Waters programme makes the heft of the Maori caucus’ power and of its Cabinet allies obvious. One of its principal purposes — and which forms an immoveable bottom line — is to hand 50:50 co-governance to iwi. And, no doubt, the right to extract royalties as well.

He Puapua itself states increased Māori rangatiratanga will require financing and that, “There are multiple streams from which financial contributions might be sourced, including, for example, levies on resource use where Māori have a strong claim to ownership, such as water.”

Auckland QC Gary Judd came to similar conclusions when he analysed the proposed water reforms. In his analysis he wrote: “Councils now own drinking water, wastewater and stormwater assets, directly or indirectly. That will change. Only iwi/Māori will have ownership rights. Directly in some respects, indirectly in others. Local authorities will have none."

Selling NZers down the river in a waka - that's Cindy.

No settlements so far under labour.
