Labour govt 2020-23

[nztx]

Shows you the sort of character - petty, entitled and vindictive - that Grant Robertson is.

His father did what he felt he had to do to provide his family with a decent living (nothing flash) and ended going to jail. All that Grant can do is bemoan the fact that he suddenly had no family backstop when he went to University!

What about getting a job like most of us, working nights and days to self-support?

Not only that, it’s obvious he has never created a single real job for anyone outside of taxpayer funded jobs ever in his entitled life so far.

And he thinks he has what it takes to be finance minister!

"I loved him, he was my father but I never really forgave him. It was such a stupid thing to do."

"The motivation was around his desire to keep his family together and in essence he was buying our love to a certain extent. That's a dreadful thing to even say. But his psychology at the time was that's what he needed to do and it's a real downward spiral."

So no BANK Robbery on the cards this round ?

Or was it discovered suddenly they have no money left ?

Or have they already been cleaned out ?

Or is Inflation just a convenient excuse to tell all that the Covid blankets are off
and everyone is now swimming or drowning on their own ?


Finally, Grant - Why is it that you now come out with this on

YOUR FRAUDSTER / SCAMMER FATHER ?

Do you want us all to be kind for all the Fiscal Co%k ups that have occurred in this
Govt's watch ? (sorry .. Miserable excuse for blundering and fumbling the way though)

You missed out telling us about your teachers, while Daddy was doing time

Were the finer points on the Economics side of running a Country's finances
really on the ciriculum at your local .. or not at all .. or you didn't quite
make the grade for the Commercial / Accounting intake ?

Perhaps too much b*mming around & not enough attention ?

Perhaps the smart boys all went off to Otago and elsewhere to become top Accountants,
Doctors and Lawyers etc., and what is left - to continue the laid back lifestyle at Uni ?

Cost of living crisis: Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says we're in the company with the rest of the world

Flap Flap Spin Spin ...

Pressed on whether or not the $350 cost of living payment, the first installment set to be deposited into the bank account of two million on Monday, would only add to inflation, Ardern said it is expected to have minimal impact.

There never was any inflation up until now .. not between 2020 to recently, nor when all the Govt Covid Goodies were being dished out, nor as Housing values rocketed ahead .. ?

Nor in the times of vastly increased Govt spending ?

Which Cereal Packet did the Economics Degree fall out of - Economist Ardern ?

You wouldn't BS everyone, at all, even a tiny Little, a tad much or totally - would you now ?

Not even when the Experts, Economists and RB point possibly a different direction ?

Will the Going Out Party be as grandiose as the Coming in Party ?

Watch for the flying bottles & teacups - Clarke

If the serve and spin is on form, even a worst enemy may not want to be in direct firing line

Some of the abruptly abandoned Homeless may take pity and know where there is
a safe bridge to hide under, away from the barrage and wrath ..

Bay of Plenty developers say government policies continue to lock land for houses

[Paywalled]

Labour Housing policies continuing to see Housing progress rocket ahead .. or maybe not ?

Where's Minister "Can't see the WOOD for Trees" hiding ?

How is it that this sort of slow moving Govt Policies nonsense is still happening ?

Perhaps only the preferred Govt Housing beasts get the preferential and everyone else
gets fed this sort of nonsense and put through all the hoops with huge delay / cost ?

Finally, Grant - Why is it that you now come out with this on)

Because he was asked!

We are in company with the rest of the world - thats not spin its a fact.

That is true, inflation is a World wide problem at the moment https://tradingeconomics.com/country...ontinent=world.
The problem here is that the PM and FM do not accept the Government has anything to do with it and their only response is pumping more money into the economy rather than cut some of the wasteful spending going on. Maybe they should also direct the RBNZ to focus on inflation rather than employment, climate change te ao Maori stuff. They've completely lost their way.

"Central bank purists have been making it pretty clear via resignations, sotto voce comments and leaks to news media — and some open broadsides — that they have difficulty squaring Orr's all-encompassing leadership of the Reserve Bank with its prime role of setting monetary policy.
In effect, they believe Orr should have kept the Reserve Bank in its lane rather than expanding its remit by embracing te ao Māori (the Māori world view), climate change issues and financial inclusion."

Prices are not rising at all in areas the govt subsidises.

Rents/petrol/food all going up in our deregulated market though, along with profits (similar to the US/uk).

Inflation so high overseas that Robbie is sending our money to people that don't live in NZ.

80% of Kiwis are now on a benefit, one way or another. To say prices are not rising in subsidised areas, is laughable. Accommodation supplement, fuel subsidy, public transport, winter energy !
Where do you want to stop ? Or do you possibly want to come and live in the real World ?

Don't forget the 'cost of living payment'. Amazing that people now get a payment when prices of things go up. So much for having the gumption to ask for a pay rise is a supposedly very tight labour market. This is the government subsiding business: it's welfare + it's corporate welfare.
