Labour govt 2020-23

How long before Jacinda panics at the putrid plunging poll numbers and confluence of cascading catastrophes?

She's winning though, another poll showing a loss for National despite using their own polling firm.

There's no real reason a company or individual person should have 10 houses while others have none.

And in a free market they wouldn't, because prices would already have been allowed to fall. Instead we have a central bank trying to be the master puppeteer and doing daft things like printing money and suppressing interest rates. We have Jacinda 'getting first home buyers on the ladder' using taxpayer funds, and now she's trying to move heaven and earth against market forces because she's actually sold these people down the river: they will be donkey deep in negative equity if it all turns to custard. Labour have been just as guilty as any other party of pumping up immigrant numbers pre-pandemic & that is ideologically in their wheelhouse with the Left's desire for 'multiculturalism'. But it meant housing demand overwhelming housing supply while it continued. So she can talk about 'pulling on levers' but its all just talk.

You can say that Labour have done a lot of things that National did or would have done, but that goes to the heart of the problem. Labour campaigned on having the answers, they campaigned on fixing the crisis, on making housing affordable. You can vault someone onto the ladder using gimmicks but that is not making housing affordable, it is just pretending to do so.

Yes there is - if they are providing accommodation businesses
or in property development


How do you think Property development projects would progress
if they could only own one ?

The offer to take 150 refugees currently detained on Manus Island and Nauru stands, the prime minister says.

"Jacinda Ardern said she wanted to reconfirm New Zealand's offer to Australia to take 150 refugees who had been subject to offshore processing legislation."

She tried to show the Aussies up and well, NZ is reaping the reward now as Australia gets ready to unleash even more 501 criminals back got NZ :

"You want refugees? We have plenty in Oz we will send you."

"Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta says she would be concerned at any moves in Australia that could increase the number of New Zealand citizens being deported.

The Australian government is working through changes to its Migration Act, which would give the immigration minister more power under the "character test" to deport people who have been convicted of a crime."

I urge the Prime Minister to capitulate to the demands of the Parliament Grounds occupiers.

It wont be an unaccustomed decision for her as she has already capitulated to the Ihumotao occupiers.

Boop boop de do

Yes despite Luxon harvesting the low hanging fruit by simply coming across as competent

What’s wrong, JT?

Can’t sleep with worries about something (like NZers seeing through all of Cindy’s BS & spin) so you feel compelled to post at 5.30 am in the wee hours?

Can we help?

Don’t be embarrassed to reach out to us, ok? We are all humans and unlike Cindy, are genuinely kind.

Labour may still be polling strongly as of now but as inflation starts to bite and we stare down the barrell of a property market down-turn then things can change quite rapidly, and the polls are starting to indicate this. The anti-mandates crew are getting a lot of support from traditional Labour voters as well, and there is a backlash at Jacinda's handling of the protest.
Additional to the above, I can see a likely scenario where disillusioned parts of the Labour base simply don't show up and vote come the next election. They won't be motivated to vote for Labour, so they won't bother.
