Government demolishes more houses than it builds

202 houses demolished by Ardern and 193 built so far in 2022 - even while the housing waiting list blows out to 27,000 from 7,000 in 2017 when Ardern took control.

What a freaking shambles - and she promised (yes, up and down the country in 2017) to solve the housing ‘crisis’!

If it was a crisis then, what has she delivered now?

Clueless and useless - Ardern.

[Balance]

4,000 households in emergency housing - effectively putting ever more families into ‘storage’ with no hope of getting into affordable housing.

Destroying the very basis of any good and competent government of providing housing, education, food, security & health.

And spending ever more $$$$ to create the disaster - $1.2 billion so far.

[Balance]

Emergency housing = dumping ground for Ardern’s disastrous housing & mental health policies (especially rental regulations and making landlord as enemies).

Emergency accommodation is being used as a dumping ground for people with serious mental health and other issues - and a lack of information sharing is placing support workers and other clients at risk, social agencies say.

Ngāi Te Rangi social worker Patrick Mitchell, who has 20 years of experience in the field, says in his view, motels and transitional housing have become a refuge for some people who would have been in specialised community care in the past.

It’s a crisis Balance …..or maybe crises is a better description

Which means that Ardern was making a mountain of a molehill when she campaigned in 2017 of crises in housing, health and whatever.

Now that she has brought cost of living, housing, health, law & order, racial and education areas into crises, she is spinning that these areas are not in crises.

Trying to have it both ways - buttering her toast on both sides. Once a spin mistress, always a spin con artist.

All spin and no delivery.

Clueless and useless = Ardern.

Here's a link to Jacinda Adern's address & Q&A at Chatham House. As has been said, the Q&A section where she is answering questions off the cuff is an absolute masterclass in leadership communication. (Q&A starts 23.00 if you want to skip the speech. Incredibly intelligent articulate thoughtful answers to questions. )

Master BS class - try Kiwibuild leadership then.

Meanwhile, there is no health crisis according to the Little one so he refuses to address the grave concerns of health practitioners - the frontline staff bearing the brunt of the crisis!

Because he and Ardern know best - there is no crisis.

There are “grave concerns” for the future of the health workforce and “urgent” action is needed to address the staffing crisis, a surgeons' group says.

The Association of General Surgeons has sent an open letter to Health Minister Andrew Little, saying the staffing shortfall is “profoundly reducing” doctors’ ability to deliver care.

President Dr Rowan French, said both acute and planned surgeries in public hospitals had been reduced as a result.

“Most hospitals are already close to, or at over 100% occupancy. This cannot be dismissed as ‘just a winter problem’, as a number of hospitals were at 100% occupancy in January.”

It's a shame such a predictable closed response.

Anyone I would urge you to watch the Q&A section, such interesting candid articulate answers on a wide range of global issues from Jacinda Adern, even some humour thrown it.
There would be very few global leaders currently who are able to connect with an audience like this.
