ADRIAN ORR our NEW RBNZ GOVERNOR

[Bjauck]

I did see a note in the herald this morning but it highlighted how the media is more about s**t stirring than educating. A rare occasion for me to agree with David Seymour, although he would comment as he is busy picking up the white pommy racist vote from NZ First...

Oh my, I thought the ‘pommy” immigrants were the Union stirrers - which would suggest support for Labour or the Greens. Perhaps the pejorative racist term “pommy” is used against whichever group is being criticised? White “Horis?’

Probably a bit unfair, union reps or soccer coaches for sure but I had heard that NZ First had a lot of supporters from the white flight from the UK, probably baseless and untrue. Apologies to all that were offended.

I am like a human facebook page or social media page deliberately provoking people to get engagement.

I hope this does not detract from the vitriol for Adrian and his policies. Maybe just his policies as Adrian is probably a nice enough person face to face. It is just that his policies and lunacy are denying social mobility and opportunity to a large portion of the population and as noted by David Seymour particularly Maori.

June 2021 podcast. I guess we will see if this is still true in a year or two.

Interesting that Robertson getting Adrian to consider house prices the wording is "sustainability" not "affordability"

They want to sustain house prices not make them affordable, that is how you win elections.

Sure...although it is mostly government policies, both Liebah and Nishnul, that have created a NZ gentry and peasantry.

I have been saying for a while there is no difference between Labour and National on important issues. Jacinda has said the same things as John Key around capital gains tax and national superannuation. They have played around with housing, they may even be partly responsible for the increase in supply but they never addressed demand i.e. immigration and monetary policy that still believes in the trickle down theory.

Don't blame the politicians they can't win unless they pander to the home owners of NZ. Maybe vote for some other party that promises real change at the next election.
