Ardern fighting back tears at Cullen’s funeral - crocodile tears.

We know they were crocodile tears as she was already planning then to sabotage his KiwiSaver legacy by doing a tax grab on hard working NZers’ retirement funds.

‘Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern choked back tears at a memorial service for Sir Michael as she read aloud the last text message she sent to him.’

Sharma on her!

Fortunately not all Kiwis are as gullible as her must be dwindling fan club.

Once again you embarrass yourself and your post is in bad taste. National bagged KS and then tweaked it unnecessary so it’s a bit rich isn’t it?

David 'U-Turn' Clark - remember that this fool was Deputy to David Cunliffe?

Seems like nothing has changed - once a fool, always a fool.

That's National legacy - undermining KS.
Wait for the next installments whenever it is that they manage to get in.
- remove the kickstart
- halve the Govt contribution
- tax the employer contribution
Someone should calculate what these have cost KS members in lost savings over the years.

What is being discussed here is Ardern’s crocodile tears.

National has made no pretence of the fact that KiwiSaver had to be changed to reduce the amount of funds required from the government.

What Ardern tried to do yesterday before the fastest U-Turn in NZ’s history is to TAX & TAKE money away from savers!

Cullen must be rolling in his grave.

Sharma on Ardern.

When the election cycle is 3 years, they didn't care about the huge but predictable costs 10 years in the future.

Sharma on 'Crocodile tears' U-Turn Ardern!

Still try to spin her way out of the embarrassing U-Turn after being caught with her fingers in the tax grab cookie jar.

"Even in May, after Parker’s tax speech that ranged across the abstruse world of French economist Thomas Piketty and tried to lay out commonly agreed tax principles, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gave assurances no new taxes were being worked on. In the House on Wednesday she kept referring to “evening up the playing field”.

Cullen must be rolling in his grave.

Sharma on Ardern.

Cullen had introduced a taxed pension scheme unlike schemes in the USA, UK, Australia and elsewhere. So he may have been comfortable with Kiwisaver not avoiding GST...He'd probably be concerned at National, if they are in office, trying find ways to undermine it or introduce more pre-retirement withdrawal exceptions.

National & John Key stood in the 2008 election pledging changes to Kiwisaver - no surprises there despite the pathetic efforts of posters here trying to paint a different picture.

We know Cullen was a red dyed Labourite who openly preached contempt & disdain for anyone who had wealth (he called John Key a 'rich prick' before the prick burst his bubble and kicked him out of office, remember?).

So the last thing he would have expected is for Ardern & her spendthrift wasteful mob to sneakily try & use Kiwisaver as a tax grab - betrayal of the highest order.

No two ways about it - Cullen would be spinning in his grave especially with the crocodile tears of Ardern long dried in the sea of hypocrisy she swims in.

Sharma on her.

Matthew Hooton: Time's up for most inept Government ever

Tomorrow's 'breaking news' will probably be 'Gold discovered in Central Otago'
or Maybe 'Wahine sinks in Wellington harbour'
