Even if the National Party funding figures are wrong at least they are making an attempt to balance their spending. As opposed to Labour printing some more money to fund free dental care between 18 and 30.

Anything will be better than the Borrower Robertson. Sold the country to the money lenders. September 12 when the books are opened will be the death knell of the Labour Party for at least 2 terms. THEY will be eviscerated at the polls. Here's hoping Bob Jones's prediction that your lot will only get 20% of the vote is correct.

You really have it bad. Who do you think owns the debt generated by the Labour Government? Every "fact" you've posted has been wrong.

Do you want us to arrange support for you post the election?

You're barking at the 🌙

God help this country if they don't hold ministerial positions.

Wrong? I understated the debt figures because I cited an older figure that has since grown significantly.

About what? Turns out the debt is MORE than I said not less. Have you revised your Key Government GDP growth rate figures? Geez the reds are in for a hiding this election.

Where does the SOE/QUANGO debt get reported?

That's what McAnulty said - revenue from betting overseas on racing and sport is $38m. Sounds a bit light to me. Hell half of that is @Brodie

I read it in the NZ Herald so it possibly might not be true. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/nation-of-debt-govts-seismic-borrowing-is-coming-at-a-huge-cost/EVYPNHJPQVFHNPLLEWYUH36XJY/#:~:text=All up%2C core Crown borrowings,per cent in May 2023.

Do you honestly believe that on race and sport betting alone there is on $38m spent offshore by New Zealanders?

So you agree with the rest of my post or are you waiting for another Labour Party press release?

So McAnulty lied previously as did TABNZ about the potential returns? You can't have it both ways @holy ravioli . $130m over $4.6billion is 2.8%. Perhaps better to look at it a different way. Government bonds and Treasury bills on issue are now 75% higher than 2019 (worse if we go back to the start of this Labour Government). Core Crown borrowing has doubled in 4 years to $196billion!!!! It is projected to worsen once we see the books on 12 September. Now the kicker the interest costs are now over $6billion or 16 million a day. So $130m represents just over a week in Labours interest costs on the debt borrowed. Time for you to read and weep!!!

No deal: I Wish I Win camp not interested in Giga Kick showdown SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – APRIL 01: Luke Nolen riding I Wish I Win wins Race 7 Furphy T J Smith Stakes in “The Star Championships Day 1” during Sydney Racing at Royal Randwick Racecourse on April 01, 2023 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Jeremy Ng/Getty Images) (Photo by Jeremy Ng/Getty Images) By Trenton Akers 09:03am • 31 August 2023 0 Comments A mooted match race between Australia's two best sprinters is all but over before it gets off the ground. Connections of I Wish I Win saying they are not prepared to jeopardise their campaign for The Everest for $500,000. Waikato Stud boss Mark Chittick told Racenet he informed organisers on Thursday that he was not keen on the idea, which was floated on Wednesday night as a race at Cranbourne towards the end of September under lights against last year's Everest winner Giga Kick. Wagering giants Entain, in partnership with the Cranbourne Turf Club came up with the concept and approached connections of both horses on Wednesday. "I gave them the ‘definitely not' this morning, if it was a few million we could think about it," Chittick said. "We just aren't interested at $500,000 a couple of weeks before The Everest at $20m — that is the main aim. "I don't know who came up with the idea but we wouldn't be stepping out for $500,000, when we are stepping out for $20m after it." Giga Kick resumes next Saturday in the McEwen Stakes at The Valley. So bad were I Wish I Win's legs when he was a foal, he was once compared to Forrest Gump, as they pointed at right angles. I Wish I Win won't compete in a match race against Giga Kick. Picture: Jeremy Ng—Getty Images. Chittick knew he would never make the sales so elected to race him himself after a series of natural remedies to get him right. Wearing the Waikato colours, I Wish I Win has beaten the odds at every turn in his career and has established himself as one of Australia's best sprinters after winning the Group 1 TJ Smith in the autumn. Chittick will make the trip to Melbourne to watch his superstar on Saturday in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes, as he begins his trek to The Everest. "He is all good, we are going to go over and watch him, we were over there doing some stuff for (Everest slot holders) Entain three or four weeks ago," he said. He is a $3.60 favourite for the race, ahead of Mr Brightside at $4.20.

That's a lie. You can't blame the Key Government for the GFC and the 2008 negative growth. Now we have an out of control Reserve Bank working to the letter of Robertson's memo regarding QE. They've printed at least $150 billion of debt.

Isn't that exactly what Labour have promised TABNZ and ENTAIN?

It's worse than the odds changing in the last few seconds. I've seen gallops races run 600m before the tote pools are adjusted. I can't understand why with modern computer systems the odds don't adjust in real time.

What disguise did you wear? Obviously left the red star cap behind.

In Davos for a World Economic Forum.

Been like it for years. If you keep an eye on the tote odds you will notice that they reduce closer to the Fixed Odds after the horses have started. Many theories why - time lag to balance overseas bets and or the bookies/computer lay off at the last second.

Entain's share price falls after BetMGM's UK announcement www.gamblinginsider.com MGM Resorts recently announced it will be launching its BetMGM operations in the UK without its US counterpart Entain. Entain's share price dropped by 5% following BetMGM’s UK announcement. In 2021, MGM sought to acquire Entain for £8.1bn ($10.3bn), but the bid was rejected. However, now that MGM has entered the UK without using Entain’s tech, it will be using its LeoVegas brand to handle the casino operations, while Kambi will power BetMGM’s UK sportsbook. BetMGM was initially launched as a collaborative product between MGM Resorts and Entain in North America. MGM Resorts will continue to operate the BetMGM brand in the US and Canada, using the technology and platform provided by Entain. As of the time of writing, Entain’s share price is £11.57 compared to 10 July, the day that the company released its H1 report, when the share price was at £13.80. This drop represents a 16% decrease in just eight days. Furthermore, in the past two days, since the launch of BetMGM in the UK, the share price fell from £12.33 to the current £11.57 - this is a representative of a 6% fall in just two days. Despite it seeming peculiar to not use Entain’s technology for its UK operations, a spokesperson from Entain commented: "MGM has been operating a UK online casino for some time under the LeoVegas brand." Before adding: “We do not consider that this new launch will make any impact on our business or indeed the market."
