    Billions going to Aussie banks.. sad stuff.

    At least they provide kiwisaver and investment fund services to partly offset it.

    The Bulls Eye for target practice on this economic idiocy resides in another Wellington Office
    not Aussie - as most will already be aware

    What a sight Little Girl Lost was, in amongst the might of the USA, as they consulted her expertise on gun crime.

    Next she will be able to contract out Poto to advise international communities on gun buybacks and ram raid reduction.

    No sign of the big Mahoot with the face paintings, below decorum, so it was up to down to earth Damien to do some hand shakes, then hover in the background like a spare one at a wedding

    Mahuta - as useless a minister as Poto Williams. Incompetent and incapable.

    Imagine - she has not spoken once to NZ’s ambassador in Russia since the invasion! Nor has she spoken to NZ’s representatives in
    The Solomon Islands.

    So what the heck is she doing as Foreign Minister????

    This is what happens when ministers are appointed because of their race rather than their ability.

    Meanwhile, her immediate family members are being awarded government contracts.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...UVIZGARDUISQU/

    Paywalled

    $90,000 awarded so far but ‘ A spokesperson for the Ministry for the Environment declined to confirm whether any further fees have been paid to consultancies connected with the Ormsbys outside the financial year 2020/21; the department is considering the Herald's questions under the OIA process.

    Most transparent & accountable government ever - that’s what Ardern promised so let’s hope someone ask her that question when she speaks tomorrow at Harvard.

    Smells a bit - does it not ?

    Probably a fair bit more of this sort of thing lingering in other Portfolios as well
    and likely considerably more than $90k pocket money to the extended whanau

    Was it tendered out for ? If not, why not ?

    It is after all Public Money that Govt is throwing around as if there's no tomorrow
    then they come back screaming about how they'll extract more

    Dangerous as well, this is a real worry having her fronting NZ geopolitical relations as the country faces unprecedented emerging tensions, not the least from our 'by far the largest' trading partner. How much more damage will be done with another 15months before Labour are voted out? Very concerning.

    And positions of power in local body politics and choice consulting contracts. Dig deeper, and weep. Husband and sister and others related. Not just $90k, that's just a couple of months on contract rates.

    Throw in a Maori word as in ropu - Maori expert ropu(advisor) and you can charge whatever you like.

    Ardern is clearly throwing taxpayers' hard earned monies at anything her Maori cabal wants - as long as they deliver the spin artist socialist votes.
