Their defence that ...'its all because of...Labour '...will not cut it.

Yet you saying "John Key did it" does?

The Reserve Bank is trying to engineer higher unemployment and recession to reduce inflation.

With a very limited toolset to achieve their targets which Borrow and Print Robertson further stuffed up with his QE memorandum.  The ANZ said this morning that Labour flooding the market with Government Bonds is going to keep interest rates high and probably increase for longer than anticipated.  Cost to the taxpayer in Government interest repayments is going tobe a lot higher than the $17m per day it is now.  Fair call for the next Government to blame Labour for this mess!

Really?  Obviously you didn't keep up with Borrow and Print Robertson or turned a socialist blind eye.

Read the two documents attached.  How independent under this Labour Government is the Reserve Bank?  BTW the $30 billion didn't last long as a target.

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!😜

You really are economical with the truth.  Robertson gave the RB access to a wider range of AMP tools and then put pressure on them to use them.  Not to mention the infinite loop of Treasury issuing Government Bonds and the Reserve Bank having to buy them to keep control of inflation and interest rates.  Although the Reserve Bank has stopped purchasing the Treasury hasn't stopped issuing bonds.

So much for independence:

Since March, the Reserve Bank had been printing tens of billions of dollars and pumping it into the economy using something called LSAP (Large-Scale Asset Purchases). The LSAP worked; New Zealand's unemployment rate of 4.9 per cent is well below where economists feared it might be.

 

But the LSAP has had some negative side effects too. Asset purchases have pushed interest rates down, unleashing a wave of cheap lending that has sent the housing market rocket to record highs in the midst of a global recession.

Robertson had initially been sceptical of the link between the Bank’s money printing and high house prices, but the Reserve Bank letter marked the point at which Robertson officially acknowledged that not only was the Bank’s money printing having an effect on the housing market, but that he and the Bank should work together and do something about it.

Note the total Government Bonds on issue have more than doubled since September 2017.

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen this is a classic example of projection.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

So watching Luxin on Q&A we learn that rebooting the housing ponzi scheme with foreign buyers ,restoring tax deductibility and pegging the brightline to 2 years will result in....'drum roll'- reducing rents!!!

Never seen such nonsense from a party purporting to be good economic managers.

Luxin ducks,dives and weaves when posed simple questions.God help NZ.

Well the alternatives haven't worked under Borrow and Hope Robertson.  God help the country if we don't get rid of this mob.

Don't you understand why?  There's over $150 billion of cash sloshing around in the system driving inflation.

As for your bogus unemployment figures what definition are you going to come up with now to keep them appear down?  

Bit like your Net Debt figure.  I still haven't seen an answer to my question regarding SOE and QUANGO debt.
