Labour govt 2020-23

[Panda-NZ-]

Who cares? The current and future generations of taxpayers who will be up to their eyeballs in debt, they’ll care, probably enough to vote out this incompetent reckless government. S&P won’t care, they’re not paying back the debt.

Paying it back to who?

Who's is suddenly willing to lend trillions during a potential depression.

You can always write the cheque out to me if you like since there's no one else.

[Balance]

Other countries like Australia were actively recruiting and allowing in healthcare workers during the last 2 years while Ardern & her useless ministers shut out healthcare workers.

But she was okay with allowing in DJs - in one case as we know (mate of Gayford), 3 times!

Now NZ is short 4,000 healthcare workers heading into winter - the game is up for Little & Ardern.

Do you even understand what debt is? What borrowing is? Who the lenders of billions of dollars to profligate governments are? Wake up, no one is writing cheques out to Labour shills, except your employer who has borrowed to do it and the taxpayer is paying for it. Are you one of the hundreds of spin merchants that Labour has deployed into all social media channels, to spin their flawed ideologies and reckless practices. Labour has set up NZ taxpayers for a generation or more of debt repayment liabilities. You have no idea really, do you, nothing you have ever said makes any sense in the real world.

This useless government immigration has loosened up the criteria for 'healthcare workers', but unfortunately for some unknown reason that doesn't include nurses. They're the good souls who graft at the patient level providing daily care for the unwell, broken and elderly. And they do it for ludicrously low pay, less than driving a truck delivering merchandise to a builders site. Let alone they can leave NZ and double their wages for the same work with less stress and time demands.

Good grief, the health sector is not just about importing surgeons and doctors, for every one of them there's dozen or more nurses required. Labour has dealt the near-death blow to Health, and ridiculously they think they can fix grass-roots health sector problems by restructuring Health sector governance, at a cost of many many millions!

Sickening, if it didn't mean we'd need a doctor and nurse to treat us, because there aren't enough and Labour aren't doing anything useful about it. Only the relatively wealthy can afford reliable prompt healthcare through outrageously expensive private health insurance, the rest are sadly beaten down to a lottery by this incompetent reckless government who have only made things a great deal worse while in power.

A disgrace, a totally inexcusable disgrace.

Racist - because most of the nurses are from third world countries like the Philippines & India. Our healthcare system would collapse without them but this government is unwilling to recognise that fact.

Sexist - because the majority of nurses are females.

Talked to an immigration consultant contact who was appalled at how short sighted & incompetent Ardern & her nincompoops have been in the last 2 years - hospitals & retirement villages were screaming out for nurses but none was allowed to come in.

His firm used to help bring in 30 nurses a year from the Philippines but has brought in a grand total of zero in the last 2 years.

It is clear that there have been zero thought given to the post pandemic world when healthcare workers are in hot demand. NZ should have been opening the doors to allow them in when NZ had the chance but this Ardern government arrogantly basked in earlier glory and thought that it could keep COVID out forever with its zero COVID strategy - and based its health response on that arrogant belief.

[Balance]

Amazing how the media (especially TV1) does not cover the homeless sleeping in cars, caravans and/or packed 5 to a room in depth - as was the case during the Key years.

Especially when the problem is now a crisis - 3 times more on the waiting list than when Ardern took office.

“ …. development has been praised for addressing a "critical" need but one social worker said it was "a drop in a puddle of what's needed".

There are 1053 people on the housing register in Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty, with 82 per cent of the demand being for one- and two-bedroom housing.

Of these, 1014 are considered to have a "severe and persistent" housing need that must be addressed immediately.

Trust general manager Jacqui Ferrel said every tenant had a story of housing hardship, with some moving in from portacoms, cars and couch surfing.

Numerous complaints and appeals to the government and the police over a year and NOTHING happens.

And yet another example of Ardern's ‘be kind’ policy of favouring gangs and criminals over law abiding citizens:

The children's mother has been fighting for over a year for police and Kāinga Ora to take action against the state house tenant and her gang member partner due to constant abuse, drug taking and threats of physical and sexual violence.

Everyone has a mortgage and other NZers student loan.

You keep ignoring the credit rating upgrade for some reason though PLUS the overall net worth increase.

There is nowhere to house the nurses.

And luxon wants a surplus pronto so Aucklands infrastructure will have to suffer even more.

Tax cuts plus a paper surplus doesn't leave much for health.

So labour is still the only credible choice to protect health.
