Labour govt 2020-23

[dobby41]

Fuel prices hit all time high of $3.15 a litre in Auckland

Time for govt to cut levies/duty again

Much cheaper in Hamilton?
95=$2.74
91=$2.64
Auckland being ripped off - there is only 10c regional fuel tax.

Ardern waited 100 days before responding to an URGENT request to meet from
The Human Rights Commission.

Shows the disdain that this how arrogant & disdainful Ardern & her government have become - 4 years into office.

Imagine what she & her team of nincompoops are going to be like if they are given another 3 years in 2023.

The HRC is not very important. Seymour is going to abolish it. Imagine what he would be like

Bring back the good ol days when the Budget was read out in the evening without any lead up

Spreading the Budget out of weeks if not months is just boring …..but then it has become one big circus with ministers grandstanding.

A boring circus?

In The "good" old days of no internet or mobile phones and just two channels that closed down at various times during the day, a Muldoom budget in 1978 was the first one I remember. Insufficient taxes, borrowing and failure to make significant reform. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!

And Save hard, look after your family and be a good citizen.

Plus she loves to hire heaps of more civil servants, PR staff, consultants and lavish $$$$ on Māoris for their votes.

Out of control spending from these A-hats

Since 2017, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has more than doubled its PR team from 32 staff to 88.

Since 2019, the transport agency has spent $145 million on consultants, covering things like the environment and planning, versus just $200 million on actual construction.

Oh, and $40M towards reducing truancy, but with no methodology of measuring its success or failure.

That’s nothing compared to the billions of dollars squandered by the prolific spend & tax Ardern & her team of addicted spenders.

Just today :

Remember this? $1.9 billion announced in 2019 to be spent on mental health services.

3 years later and what have Ardern & Little delivered?

ZERO. NOTHING. In fact, things have actually got worse.

Ardern heads a government of spin, prolific spending but zero delivery.

And worse of all, Ardern employs PR staff by the hundreds to try and hoodwink NZers with spin to hide how totally incompetent she and her government truly are.

The Executive has nothing else to give but laws and money, they don't actually implement anything themselves. So they make laws and spend our money, truckloads of it, in the hope that their Administration and business can implement it. Imo the real failing outside excessive ill-directed spending, is over optimism that massive long term structural issues can be turned around in unreasonable timeframes. By the time they realise that optimism is false logic, they're already history.
