‘KiwiBuild descends into farce’
The whole bloody government is a farce, a sham and a disaster in the making. These clowns are dealing with a drastic housing shortage (and associated high prices) by waving imaginary magic wands while NZ allows in a record 98, 3332 non-New Zealand citizens in the year to April! And that figure shows little sign of slowing.
The Housing Minister’s previous career was with Oxfam. The whole gang is mired in Green/communist/regressive bullshit, utterly unmoored from reality. Where is the voice of the opposition in all this?
UPDATE:
Chinese influence
‘China’s communists fund Jacinda Ardern’s Labour Party: What the United States Congress was told
An influential United States Congress hearing has been told “one of the major fundraisers for Jacinda Ardern’s party” is linked to the Chinese Communist Party and it showed China had penetrated New Zealand’s political networks.
As a result, US lawmakers needed to consider whether New Zealand should be kicked out of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance because of problems at its “political core”.
The bombshell testimony included claims from a former Central Intelligence Agency analyst that “anything on China that was briefed to Bill English was briefed to Mr Yang Jian”, the National MP revealed last year as having trained spies for China…’
Well guys they’ve already gone back on there winter energy payment. They promised $450 to beneficiaries, and already, they’ve admitted they will only pay out $250. Now I know the rest of you are rejoicing about it. But my point is that they promised and haven’t delivered. But they have delivered on higher taxes-Taxinda. So that’s what this government is, a high tax government, not delivering what they promised, to the very bottom.
Oxfam.
“Oxfam is an international confederation of 20 ngos working with partners in over 90 countries to end the injustices that cause poverty.”
There will always be rich people and poor people in the world, and no amount of delusional self-importance will change that. Silly Wankers.
I Ike telling people that if all the money in the world was shared out equally on a Monday morning, by Tuesday lunchtime the brewers and shoe shops would have all of it in their tills.
That’s practical logic, Andy.
And the pizza houses.

The inevitable result of protection and mollycoddling is to produce mediocrity. You’d think that penny would have dropped by now.
A new $630bn stretch of road is falling apart yet again and there are no realistic plans to fix a vital highway closed by landslides for the umpteenth time while walking and cycling tracks have millions spent on them to appease the Greens.Thousands of cows are being slaughtered because the agency concerned had no clue and no plan…despite “employing” an army of overpaid clipboard warriors…The list of cock-ups, fuck-ups, cronyism and incompetence is endless.
But we’re very “safe”, mommy says…….*spit*
And here we have more evidence of Nazi bureaucrats, where a council debates it’s own fuckups in secret and proposes that homeowners should pay the costs of the council’s negligence:

The cow thing is interesting. Govt says we have far too many cows and lookee we suddenly have a nasty disease where we can reduce cow numbers with full, some, no compensation depending on who you listen too. I do wonder if some eco warrior is behind this disease but even if not the lefties will be salivating over the chance to screw over farmers.
One term govt, for sure. Commie chick is scary, as she is stupid. Roll on next election, when they all get booted to the kerb. That will be traitor Winston’s real legacy, a one term govt and the death of NZ Last, finally. Yay!
I sure hope you’re right Lara.
