holy ravioli

No he was just the leader of the Natz(deposed Judith Collins)and supposedly their brightest star ,destined to become..P.M!😂

Mental health issues apparantly...like a recent Natz wannabe P.M....Todd Muller.😜

Breaking news....crACT again...'4 hours ago — As a real estate agent, Zane Cozens faced complaints of pressuring elderly home-owners to sell their homes for less than they wanted to.'

Just as the Natz responded to the GFC(caused by the 'money men'/like Key)and Chch earthquakes,Labour had Covid19 and the dire floods to...address.Comprenez! So it was a 'fair call' for Labour to blame the Natz for the blowout in Govt spending /GDP levels and their 9 years of neglect.

Take Lotto out of the equation and your 'logic' evaporates.🙄

NONE of your links disavow the independence of the RB in implementing monetary policy measures.They actually confirm it. As to your sarcastic remark....everyone became socialists when subsidies were handed out because of covid!Even that other arm of the right wing, the Taxpayers Union....threw away their principles with indecent haste!😜

The ANZ....(Chairman John Key)...very good.😁. The RB is independent. Govt looks after fiscal policy,RB monetary policy.Now you know.👍

You've got it wrong.The majority of the population DON'T bet. Animal rights activists and the like will prevail.

Gigakick evens,Imperatriz $3.80,Rothfire $5.50-NZ TAB.

Oliver the greatest Australian jockey of all time!!! I believe they will have to get rid of whips in an increasing woke world to pacify the haters.

No doubt that the figures are not accurate. Also no doubt that mass immigration for un or semi skilled workers is not a solution to employers needs. Business likes very high unemployment rates to suppress wage growth. The Reserve Bank is trying to engineer higher unemployment and recession to reduce inflation. The right wing govts in the U.K have brought the economy to its knees with their hopeless policies which unfortunately are similar to the ones that National are pushing here. If NACT win the election,the pain their short sighted policies will inflict in ensuing years will have deep consequences. Their defence that ...'its all because of...Labour '...will not cut it.

I'm against Gigakick here. Imperatriz has the 'good judge' hoodoo to overcome😀. Leaning towards Rothfire.

Another crACT candidate breaks off.Where do they find these misfits? Fourth ACT candidate resigns in lead up to election (1news.co.nz)

NZ's response was the same as the other english speaking nations. Trying to cherry pick Sweden doesn't withstand scrutiny. You must remember that the Natz were generally on board with the Covid response as rolled out,as were the majority of..voters.

More work load,requires more workers.

Talking about 'nice work'....choke on this- Govts spend more in crisis periods, and the Sixth Labour Govt has faced a few expensive ones. Total Govt spending hit 48.1% of GDP in 2011 under a National Govt with (C&S from Act, UF and TPM).

Yes forget about how useless the last Natz admin was and give the new crew another go with the exact same...policies!🙄

Only 7 starters. Maybe the Chief could paste the field.I don't know how to. Gigakick,Rothfire,Imperatriz.1000 m dash.

MBIE was Steven Joyces baby'....spending blew out on his watch...big T.V $120,000...hair straightener for staff!!!...Never mind staff coffees. Funny how I see Waikato Uni payed Joyce $966,000 for marketing advice...which he refuses to discuss.Waste under Natz I would be here all day...listing it.

'according to the IMF!'

People need to be objective about this countrys status. 'The economy is 6.7% larger than before Covid. Since the depths of the Covid recession, New Zealand’s economy has grown by 10.2% compared to 8.8% for Australia, 7.6% for the US, 7.1% for the Euro Area and 6.1% for the UK, according to the IMF. Unemployment below 4% for eight consecutive quarters Strong Government finances: Affirmed last week by Fitch. Net debt of 18.9% of GDP, below Australia, the US, and the UK according to the IMF. Seven trade agreements singed or upgraded; FTAs now cover almost three quarters of New Zealand’s export.'Stuff. And all Natz have is- reboot the housing ponzi...leader has 7 houses and dep has 3-4.They think thats ...productivity.😄

'I think you are right Jones will be wrong. The way Labour and Chippy are going it will be under 20%!' Thats exactly what you said. You really are a big girls...blouse aren't you.🤣

More than 20% as opposed to your under 20%...pretty clear.

How much do you want to bet? Go on runaway...all hat..and no..cattle.😄

My point is that you can put the microscope on any nation or person for that matter and find fault. Do you really think any western govt really cares about the Uighurs ? It's just an opportunity to criticise China. If they were big on minorities rights ,countries like the U.S would not have such an appalling record in their treatment of native Indians,Blacks,Mexicans and Latinos.
