Be kind to prisoners, say Ardern & Davis.
They must have more rights and more freedom, they say.
They can beat up the prison guards who must not retaliate, they say.
Well, one more of Ardern’s intended consequences - number of assaults on guards have doubled since she took office and there’s now not enough guards.
Up yours, the guards say to Ardern & Davis.

I see today that Jasinda was so gutless that she didnt even turn up ONCE to support the Labour candidate Jas Tanetti in the recent by election , that says it all, she does not back losers ?
Panda what spin can you put on that one, or was she too busy sacking the dumbies that she already has in her cabinate ( which she appointed in the first place ) !!!

PM 'asking experts' as pressure mounts to reintroduce compulsory masks in schools
Were all the experts invited to a fancy Ski-a-thon Idea Fishing weekend down south to help the thought processes?
Was 'Mr Fixit Flexi-Legs Hipkins' invited or did they conveniently forget, due to him being busy putting out raging fires elsewhere ?

Remember how Ardern promised to fix the housing 'crisis'?
Now that she has turned it into a housing DISASTER, the numbers coming out are showing just what a cock-up she has presided over.
$1m+ a day being spent by MSD on emergency housing with no relief anytime soon for the tenants and for taxpayers.
Motel owners are reaping windfall profits from renting out sub-standard motel accommodation to MSD - in one case, $60m+ in emergency housing grants!

Excerpt : "It started as a small-scale solution to provide shelter for homeless who had nowhere else to go. But emergency housing is now big business, and some motel and motor lodge owners have completely changed their business models to specialise in housing the most vulnerable people in society. One motel alone has been given $16 million in grants for emergency accommodation, data obtained by the Herald shows."
"A handful of companies owning multiple properties have swallowed up around 20 per cent of the emergency housing funding. The biggest recipients were motel owners Roger Nolan and Jinhua Ou, whose 13 properties earned $60m in emergency housing grants. One of their properties, the Anglesea Motel in Hamilton, earned $16.2m in grants alone between 2017 and 2022. The two businessmen did not respond to requests for comment."

They inherited the problem Balance and were amazed at how bad it actually was when they got into government
And there’s not many job opportunities for those punters to make a more ‘normal’ life for themselves is there

Absolutely - that’s why Ardern decided she would make millionaires out of motel property owners.
But wait, there’s more :

Remember how Ardern was going to eradicate child poverty in her first term (by throwing more money basically at the problem)?
Well, schools and social services are reporting the problem to be now at crisis point.
Ardern sure know how to solve problems huh? By turning them into crises or better still, disasters.
Then, she can justify borrowing ever more money, tax more and throw more money to make the problems worse.

According to Kidscan, 15% of Aotearoa kids (not Kiwi kids) regularly go hungry - or 144,000 children.
KidsCan is now supporting more than 1000 schools and early childhood centres nationwide, helping to feed a record 44,000 children every day. Thousands more in 19 schools and 52 early childhood centres (ECEs) are waiting for help. Seven schools applied for support in one week alone in April, as inflation hit a 30-year high, and requests for hot meals are up 33% on last term.

C'mon mate, that's ridiculous!
It was just a By election for Tauranga, a solidly safe Blue seat.
Just exactly like when there was the By election for Mt Albert (a solidly safe Labour seat) when then National PM Bill English, 'was so gutless' to use your words, he didn't even stand a National candidate as would have got such a drubbing.
Just standard practice, relax.
Ski & hospitality industry in the S.I. sure appreciated Adern's support over the weekend.

Is it worth commenting?
Some people will complain about everything just because it involves Labour.
Some are very unbalanced.
I see Luxon has now said that the tax cuts may not be policy for the next election.
