More good news for the fight against inflation….

‘India has banned exports of non-basmati white rice, stoking fears of further global food inflation just as Russia’s targeting of grain ships has pushed up wheat prices.’

Census 'bribes' topped $1 million

More than $1 million was spent on incentives to persuade people to complete the Census, according to Statistics Minister Deborah Russell.

The incentives comprised supermarket, petrol and movie vouchers that were provided to just under 12,000 people at a cost of $934,130, and Warriors tickets and vouchers offered to thousands more at a cost of $96,040.

The incentives, which ACT Party statistics spokesperson Damien Smith labelled “bribes”, may have helped Stats NZ just achieve the Government’s target of garnering census responses from at least 90% of people.

But that won’t be known for sure until Stats NZ completes its tally next year, and there appears a risk that the push to get the census over the line may have come at the cost of reducing participation in any future census.

Yeah, we can look forward to getting the blame for all the under resourcing of schools and services in those areas where the 20% of phantoms exist!

Census day was 7 March 2023, it is now July, and we should find out at some stage next year whether we hit 90%.
Welcome to New Zealand, a country where you can spend $337 million on a census, pay $1 million in 'inducements', and not know the results for a year.

Kiri Allan's career is careering around smashing into parked cars?

She's in Police custody anyway.

Kiri Allan resigns as minister, charged with reckless driving and resisting arrest

Wellington reporters
07:17, Jul 24 2023

‘Kiri Allan has resigned as Justice Minister, after being taken into police custody on Sunday night.

In a statement, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins confirmed she was charged with reckless driving and resisting arrest.

Earlier, The Post reported Allan was taken into police custody after being involved in a car crash in Wellington.

Witnesses say the East Coast MP’s car struck a parked car on Evans Bay Parade in Roseneath on Sunday evening.

Earlier, a Post reporter at the scene said police were in attendance, but there was no sign of Allan.

Police said in a statement they received a report of a crash involving two vehicles on Evans Bay Parade, Roseneath, shortly after 9pm. The road was blocked for a short time, but no injuries were reported.

One person was taken in to custody and was “assisting police with enquiries into the circumstances of the crash”, the statement said.

The prime minister’s office on Sunday evening repeatedly refused to answer questions about the incident or confirm if Allan had been involved or was in police custody.’

A few words for this imploding Labour government:
“You are not serious people.”

New Labour slogan for the election revealed:
‘Womans Football World Cup NZ 2023’

High level corruption. One rule for them, another for us plebs.

Looks like you can go drink driving if in ‘emotional distress’ folks.

‘Allan returned a breath test over the legal limit at a level considered an “infringement offence”. She will not be charged.

”While her alleged actions are inexcusable, I’ve been advised she was experiencing extreme emotional distress at the time of the incident. Her recent personal struggles with mental health have been well documented and it appears some of those issues came to a head yesterday.

“I have spoken with her first thing this morning and advised her I do not believe she’s in a fit state to hold a Ministerial warrant.

“I believe it’s also untenable for a Justice Minister to be charged with criminal offending,” Hipkins said.’

I wonder why Stuff hasn't opened up the comments section of that article.
