The Hypocrisy, Misdeeds & Incompetence of Adern’s Government

[Balance]

It is appropriate to have a thread to highlight just how hypocritical & incompetent this current government really is.

As the pandemic fades into the background and the misdeeds of this government come to the fore, NZers can see for themselves just how bad this government is.

[Balance]

This government has plenty of money for gangs and criminals but not for parents & infants.

So much for its election promises of taking care of children, families and to eradicate child poverty.

Plunket will cut its parenting programmes because it cannot afford to keep running them.

Facilitators have been running 600 courses each year attended by about 4000 parents and caregivers. Since Covid-19 the classes have been run online.

$400,000 extra funding a year would see Plunket, an organisation trusted and cherished by all NZers, retain all of its services.

This government handed over $2.75m to ‘help’ gangs sell drugs better and $150,000 to re-tattoo NZ out & put Aotearoa in place (for gang members) BUT does not have $400k extra a year for Plunket.

So do the crime and get rewarded by Adern & Poto Williams.

Do good and this government kicks you in the guts - in this case, mothers and infants.

Go figure.

at the macro level the worst thing is the lack of transparency in their policy

stated goals were never achieved

unstated unannounced policies ( often highly controversial ) were put in place.

this is why we need to move away from having politicians and members of parliament who are our so called representatives. they are not. in this world where every street has a camera , where databases are terrabytes and everyone is online , we dont need representatives, we can represent ourselves. govt in the 21st C should only be bureaucrats who seek policy approval via online individual representation. voting online not every 3 years but on all issues of policy. true democracy. /end thread hijack

Another day, another example of how this government’s housing & policing policies favour gangs and criminals :

And it’s only because of publicity (bad for polls, see) that Kainga Ora finally acted after the elderly woman had endured the gangsterism for a long year.

Watched Adern ducking and diving on TV3 while being questioned over how incompetent & badly Poto Williams has been handling her police portfolio, she obviously cannot handle the pressure anymore these days and is losing her spinning top!

Adern slipped and proudly proclaimed that police numbers have increased by 1,400 in the last 4.5 years.

Has she forgotten that she promised 1,800 within her first term?

So she’s 400 behind on her initial promise but actually the number is worse as there should be 2,700 more police by now - so close to 50% behind.

[Balance]

Only after crime has run rampant in Auckland CBD, is the police going to mount a response!

Whatever happened to ‘a stitch in time saves nine?’

Whatever happened to prevention of crime?

This is what happens when the country has an incompetent police minister, appointed just because she is token female & non white.

If you want to have more impetus behind your argument then adding another r to her name may help.

Some of the later arrivals on the planet may not know who you are referring to in years to come.

Yea, Radern sounds much better.

The cost of living issue would bring down even the most competent govt.

Thankfully it is now solved as of apr 1, so the polls will return to their baseline.

On that basis I suppose Darren would do as well.
