Labour govt 2020-23

That is a lot sillier than anything I have seen you post before.

Ardern was being blamed for extreme volatility in the price of housing, and PNZ asked why other countries where she was not PM were experiencing the same phenomenon.

You used that question as a rhetorical springboard for a completely irrelevant and irrational deflection about why Ardern isn't PM of some other country. Silly - a waste of everyone's time.

N ot half as silly as something else may be looking after 2023

Oh hang on .. there's a huddle of very curious silliness already @ the Beehive
doing their darnedness to look even more silly and irrelevant, ignoring everyone
outside their closed Beehive Office doors

Ardern & her incompetent ministers into the blame game (as usual) - nothing is ever their fault. It's always someone else at fault even when it is crystal clear it is thry who stuffed up big time.

On the cost of living payment being paid to overseas people who are not entitled, here's David Parker trying to shift the blame :

"On Today FM, O’Brien was aghast as revenue minister David Parker accused an ineligible Frenchman who’d been offered the payment of criminal misdeeds.

"For him to get the payment, he would have to be acting fraudulently," he said.

"You're putting this on him?" exclaimed O'Brien, incredulously."

RNZ’s Nine to Noon BusinessDesk founder Pattrick Smellie argued the criticism is likely to stick even if the figures involved aren't massive, mainly because it was the type of story that voters can understand.

"If you say we're giving $350 to goodness knows how many people overseas - and that's the biggest problem for the government, that the IRD doesn't know the answer to that question - inevitably that's political poison.

It just doesn't matter whether it's 20 people or 25,000. It's easy to understand. It makes you wonder what these clowns are up to - that sort of thing."

Talk about the cost of living-

Then criticise a solution to the cost of living.

This payment alone is worth twice what National's tax cuts were for the median earner (ie more than 50 cents per day)

Why don't you show us the maths to support your 50 cents per day quote.

He is parroting Ardern and Robertson.

The same Ardern who promised 'most transparent government ever' and 'eradication of child poverty'.

the same cost of living that Labour have directly & indirectly managed to blow sky high ?

what happens for all the months not covered by the $350 as things rise further ?

Too hard or hasn't Robbo considered that a one off is more like a bribe and not a fix
for the continuing issue that Labour have orchestrated and thrown on all Kiwis ?

A $350 one off must really look like some mickey mouse Labour solution to everyone out there

If the one-off payment adds to inflation pressures short term then tax cuts for the well-off must add to the pressures long term.
Luxon and Willis stumbled over that one.

My bet is Jacinda will bail before the election. Her history for not fronting when the going gets tough is in her DNA. She now knows she has no chance next year and will disappear prior leaving Robo or some other mug to carry the can.

The latest poll will prompt her to speed up her bail out plans to the UN.
