    Just telling you some home truths which you are not going to get from the msm and certainly not from the apologists and supporters of the Labour government.

    Imagine, 16,000 more staff in the civil service and they can screw up everything so badly with no accountability or care! Exactly like how Ardern and Hipkins behave - boasting along with their supporters of the most transparent government ever!

    Up to you what you want to do - I could not care either way.

    There will be those who read my postings and realised that they better plan ahead for a better future for themselves and their families - before it is too late.

    Only 4 months into New Govt reign after the rotten incompetent rubbish of the past 6 years got tossed and you can't even swallow the first few home truths coming out ?

    Why don't you take your good mate Panda and head off for a permanent holiday in Argentina - where Panda has assured all the new land of honey is situated in a sea of worse serpents like spiralling inflation and poverty like never seen here (not even after Jaxinda had a play to make it worse then mislead all about it before never mentioning the failure again)

    It is really lovely in the Whitsundays. Six years of Labour have ruined our weather here. You should go this Autumn and avoid the coming winter in this once lovely country.

    So you say Labour didn’t care and you don’t care about NZ. You sound like a perfect fit. Maybe you can all form an enclave on your tropic beach.

    Luxon must care enough to want to be PM. A difficult job. I don’t agree with all their policies but I am still hoping he does his best, and does not give up on the country as readily as some. Many countries have had dire histories and pulled through. However every person should strive to live their best life….

    Envy will get you nowhere as you know, davflaws.

    Best you keep to your do-gooder deeds and the Maorification of NZ - what gives you the greatest pleasure in life. Basically, achieving fxxk all but worse outcomes for your victims … clients.

    Asked my Personal AIssistant to give a critical review of Labour 2017 - 2023:

    As a critic of the Labour government in New Zealand from 2017 to 2023, one might argue that the tenure was marked by a series of lofty promises and grand visions that ultimately fell short, leaving a trail of unmet expectations and disillusioned constituents.

    The housing crisis stands as a monument to failure, with the KiwiBuild programme emblematic of well-intentioned but poorly executed policy. Promising to deliver 100,000 affordable homes but falling embarrassingly short, the initiative became a byword for bureaucratic overreach and underdelivery, leaving countless New Zealanders still grappling with unaffordability and homelessness.

    Child poverty, a central pledge of the government, saw little more than marginal improvements, mocking the bold claims of transformative change. The persistent plight of vulnerable children in New Zealand serves as a stark reminder of the gap between political rhetoric and the harsh realities of those living on the margins.

    Mental health services, despite significant financial injections, remained in a state of crisis, with many New Zealanders unable to access timely or effective care. The government's strategy appeared more as a patchwork of band-aid solutions rather than a coherent, long-term plan to address a deepening mental health emergency.

    On climate change, the Labour government's policies were a lesson in how to pay lip service to an existential crisis. Despite declaring a climate emergency, actions taken were often criticized as too little, too late, leaving New Zealand's ambitious climate goals hanging in the balance.

    Transport and infrastructure projects, including the ill-fated Auckland Light Rail, became mired in delays, disputes, and disillusionment. What was touted as transformative infrastructure development often ended up as examples of missed opportunities and wasted potential.

    The government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, initially lauded globally, later faced scrutiny over vaccine rollouts and prolonged lockdowns that inflicted significant economic and social scars. The strategy, once seen as exemplary, increasingly appeared rigid and unresponsive to changing circumstances.

    On immigration and workforce shortages, the government's policies were at best myopic, failing to foresee the critical impact on sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and hospitality. This lack of foresight contributed to an economic strain felt by businesses and communities across the country.

    Furthermore, the pace and substance of Treaty of Waitangi settlements with Māori were viewed by some as insufficient, failing to live up to the partnership's spirit and promise, thereby perpetuating long-standing grievances rather than resolving them.

    In summary, the Labour government's term was a litany of missed opportunities, unfulfilled promises, and policy missteps. The gulf between the government's ambitious rhetoric and the tangible outcomes for New Zealanders has only widened, leaving a legacy of disillusionment and frustration in its wake.

    Can’t do an equivalent one for the current govt because it is too recent.
