Well, I don't know about you, but no matter how people feel about the game - It will make no difference at all to the game (or its outcome) whether Robertson is flying for top tax payer dollars to Europe to watch the game, or whether he watches it here at the tele (or not at all). Will make no difference in the result.
Just wasting tax payers money. That's what both Labour and National are about - clearly we moved from the rain into the eaves. Just swapping the colour of the troughers.
Finally a post I can agree with BP on. Total waste of money and totally unnecessary for any politician to be there at the game.
You could make a tenable argument for an MFAT beauracrat (promote NZ etc) but even that is a stretch.
Waste of my and your money that Grant going. Could be better spent on homelessness or something else.

The ‘be kind’ & ‘criminals are also victims’ era of incompetence and uselessness of Ardern, Hipkins and Labour continues to deliver 'unintended consequences'.
Two of Labour’s restructured crown agencies, Kainga Ora (KO) & Oranga Tamariki (OT), in action.
The usual BS with KO placing anti-social, unruly and criminally inclined tenants in properties next to law abiding citizens - then, taking no action when the complaints flood in. Until it’s too late.
And TO, the agency Labour pledged to protect vulnerable children, failing to protect and prevent yet another child’s death in care.
https://www.thepost.co.nz/a/nz-news/...toddlers-death
“But it had been a “nightmare” since new tenants moved into the Kāinga Ora property in January.”
The property had renovations done before the couple moved in but was wrecked within weeks, he said.
The carpet had been ripped up, window framing broken, and the house lined with rubbish strewn everywhere.
“He had called the police about 15 times and Kāinga Ora about 30 times but nothing had been done.”
Poor toddler never stood a chance.

Ardern & Hipkins - Architects of "Unintended Consequences"
https://e3.365dm.com/23/01/2048x1152...20230124155821
Remember all the promises made about how the health reforms by Labour & Andrew Little were going to deliver huge benefits?
When they did not, remember how special task forces were going to get waiting lists down?
Well, not only nothing of substance has been delivered as per usual by Labour, Ardern, Hipkins and Little, things have gotten worse!

Excerpt :
"One in two New Zealanders needing heart surgery waited longer than the maximum time frame considered appropriate by their specialists.
The alarming situation is revealed in figures obtained by the Herald. At one major hospital, 77 patients out of 112 waited too long."
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/z...QC6CJ3RHRU.jpg
No need to wonder any further why Little is quitting just like the mistress of Spin, Ardern.
He has presided over a deterioration of NZ's healthcare system while squandering billions of dollars on so-called healthcare reforms - adding on more bureaucrats and paying for ever more consultants but delivering bugger all to front line staff and to patients.
Plenty of revelations in the years ahead of just how incompetent and useless Little & the bureaucrats he employed have been. Imagine him in Parliament being questioned by the new government on how and why billions of dollars have been wasted by him?

"Cancer patients are struggling with uneven medical care as Te Whatu Ora edges towards setting up national clinical networks to tackle the public health postcode lottery.

Te Whatu Ora - Ardern/Hipkins/Little creation.
Creating nothing but worse outcomes for NZers.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/...t-in-last-year
The number of patients waiting more than the four-month benchmark to see a specialist has jumped 46 percent in the last year.
Te Whatu Ora's latest quarterly clinical performance data - released on Tuesday - shows there were 51,274 people in June who had been waiting longer than the benchmark, compared with 35,080 at the same time last year.
Preventable hospital admissions (known as "ambulatory sensitive" admissions) for babies and preschoolers shot up 35 percent, particularly in Auckland.
Pasifika children aged 0-4 were the worst affected, with their hospitalisation rate increasing 45 percent.
Kainga Ora - yet another Ardern/Hipkins/Woods/Twyford/Labour government creation.
Creating nothing but distress for law abiding citizens with their 'no-eviction' policy and 'be kind to criminals as they are also victims' BS.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/kainga...PYZVKPRITCCZA/
A Kāinga Ora tenant in Auckland whose family was threatened by a neighbour with a hammer says her complaints have fallen on deaf ears.
Despite receiving more than 8000 complaints in the past year, the state landlord only terminated seven tenancies in that period.
Kāinga Ora declined an interview with RNZ.
The poor sods in the Mongrel Mob, those esteemed members of society, feel they will be hard done by National's proposed tougher stance on gangs and have hired a lawyer to defend their "human rights".
This excerpt from the Herald says it all about what sort of lawyer this woman is:
Tokoroa lawyer Arama Ngapo confirmed that she had been asked by the Mongrel Mob to investigate the legality of National’s election pledge.
“I can confirm that I have been asked for legal advice on that matter,” Ngapo told the Herald.
“If Mr [Prime Minister-elect Christopher] Luxon thinks the solution to gangs in Aotearoa/New Zealand is to ‘Thin Lizzy’ the problem away, he is ignoring over 100 years of colonisation and systemic racism which left Māori in a cycle of poverty that led to the creation of gangs,” she said.
I see where you are coming from, and sure - if one sees the impact of the gangs, their open harrassment and power demonstrations and their attempts to subjugate ordinary citicens in order to be able to run their criminal businesses is it difficult to accept that there might be as well a different side to the story. But - it always is.
Its a bit like with Israel and Palestine ... while the murderous attack of Hamas was unexcusable ... there is a history of Israel suppressing and locking up three generatoins of Palestineans and stealing more and more Palestinian land against international law. Suppression causes resistance - and in such situations you can either end up with an outright war nobody will win, or both sides need to moderate their stance to defuse the situation and create a better future for everybody.
There is no doubt that Maoris have been cheated and suppressed in NZ for a numerous generations, and it was the dominating people creating a system which made it hard for them to succeed and that way pushing them into organising themselves in gangs.
I don't think that pointing fingers and empowering extremists on both sides will help. Maybe we should try a dialogue and defuse instead. Lets face it - suppression never worked in history - so, we can have an endless conflict, or we can try to create a better society where everybody feels part of.
Labour tried to solve this issue but forgot that there is not just a Maori view on these issues.
Always bad to ignore the other side.
Lets hope National has what it takes to start solving this problem by fostering dialogue and creating a balanced solution, but we clearly don't need a New Zealand Netanjahu. Just beating up the gangs won't work. Extremist views on both sides can only make matters worse.
Oranga Tamiriki - yet another Ardern/Hipkins/Davis/Labour entity boosted with 35% more staff (4609 vs 3424 in 2017) and more diversity (ie. more Maori & Pacifica staff).

More staff but more death of toddlers.

The chair of the Whanau Ora Commissioning Agency says Oranga Tamariki is not up to the job and fears more children under 3 will keep dying if issues are not addressed.
This comes after the uncle of slain toddler Ruthless-Empire revealed he had contacted Oranga Tamariki in December, asking for the child to be uplifted over significant concerns he had about the way he was treated, believing he was in “danger” as well as the “disgusting” conditions he was living in.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/300...ild-death-toll
"The data shows that since Oranga Tamariki was created in April 2017, there have been at least 57 child homicides. Some of the victims died as a result of beatings, traumatic brain injuries, asphyxiation or stabbings.
Stuff understands this information was circulated with Oranga Tamariki’s partner agencies, including police and justice officials. However, the agency refused to publicly release it."
Kelvin Davis’s special contribution to children’s welfare - Oranga Tamiriki.
If I were a Maori, I would be very insulted that Maori words are being used for Labour government failures and disasters.
But then, if I were a Maori, I would not be dumb enough to vote for any of the incompetent Maori elites who have always been for themselves - never for the Maori people.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/ruthle...HBPWDUKC7IK6M/
The Chief Ombudsman’s investigation into his death following repeated abuse by his caregiver Michaela Barriball found Oranga Tamariki failed to take the “bare minimum” of actions over safety concerns about Subecz.
“I can only describe Oranga Tamariki’s response as a litany of failures,” Boshier said.
https://thumbnailer.digitalnz.org/?r...d%3DIE60604677
Now the loser Kelvin ‘Oranga Tamiriki toddlers deaths’ Davis wants to stay on as MP despite losing his seat and staring earlier he would resign and retire.
Man of principles and integrity he definitely is not.
But it’s ok - for the sake of NZ, it is excellent he stays so he will serve as a constant reminder why NZ must never allow Labour to govern again.
Very very very satisfying.

'Everything is back on the table' - Hipkins
Labour leader Chris Hipkins has rejected the idea that his position on taxation lost the party votes.
He said tax policies were "back on the table", and the party would reconsider its position on issues such as a Capital Gains Tax (CGT), GST and other tax policies.
"We start with a blank page from here," he said.
"We clearly lost, and so now everything is back on the table... and that includes tax."
Labour campaigned to take GST off fruit and vegetable, but refused proposals of "wealth taxes", land taxes, and a capital gains tax - which the Green and Māori parties campaigned on.
Hipkins said every policy would be reconsidered in the three years ahead.
At the end of the day - Hipkin's Leadership & failures up to & including the Election
appear to been accepted like a large dead rat swallowed whole by the Comrades .. probably not
much option though .. not much other worthy talent still standing or wanting to pop it's head up ;)
To be fair - Hipkins clearly received a hospital pass when he took over from Adern. Not quite sure the nine months or so he was at the helm do allow a fair assessment of his leadership skills, and he well might be the best person to lead the Labour party back to more success.
I think we should wish him all the best. NZ does need a capable and good opposition, and given that neither Seymour nor Peters want to take this time the job as opposition leader - lets see how Hipkins is performing :) ;
Quote:

Labour to revisit tax policies including a CGT & Wealth tax. Hopefully they turn their hearing aids on this time around & realise the electorate is ready for a CGT & not a wealth tax.

How's the Recount going - Helen - enough to chuck it in ? :)
As I have posted before, Labour’s ground staff and supporters were a pretty unhappy lot leading into 2022. Ardern & her mob had become so arrogant and so full of BS that they did not want any genuine and honest feedback from their focus groups about what was happening negatively on the ground.
They were scolded that they were not selling Labour’s great achievements (ie.spin) and that was what the red *itch Ardern’s expectations of them. Relentlessly positive!
Well, the rest is history.
The most open and transparent Government we have ever had. The Ombudsman once again disagrees. Here is a behind paywall article in the Herald https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politi...PIQVRANED7O2I/
Strangely enough I can't find anything about this on Stuff to post here for everyone to read. Basically it is about the Herald's request under the OIA for access to txts between Jacinda when PM and Harry/Megan. Hipkins as PM relied on Jacinda's "comments" in deciding what to release and what not. The Ombudsman has found that some of the witheld txts were in fact "official" communications and should have been released but some were clearly "between friends" and were not related to her job as PM.
I wonder what Prince William, who she is travelling with right now, thinks of her "friendship" with Harry & Megan or maybe she has dumped that friendship in favour of William.
It's yet another example of the red *itch Quitter Queen of Spin Ardern using any means possible to protect her brand & her self-interest at the expense of anything and everything - especially uncovering the truth.
She is a cover-up artist & a con.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Ombudsman found that there were a number of text messages between Ardern and Harry and Meghan. He said some were personal and between “friends”, while others were official information.
The Ombudsman’s investigation found that neither Hipkins nor anyone in his office had reviewed these text messages between Ardern and the royals before making a decision on the OIA request.
“Instead the Prime Minister had relied on comment provided by Dame Jacinda as to what she thought should happen with the request,” Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier said.

Quote:
The commission said 620 votes in the East Coast electorate that were included in the preliminary count were not included in the official count.
“The votes were in a ballot box at the electorate headquarters and were missed during the official count. The votes have now been counted and added to the electorate totals,” the commission said in a statement.
The corrections have been made, resulting in 693 votes being added to the total number of party votes cast in the election. Candidate votes have increased by 708.

Saw the Ginny Andersen’s interview on TV3 this morning? She spent most of the time not recalling if she said and what she said! So much so that Ryan Bridges called her excuses out as being tiresome.
So guilty and yet the Labour Party denied for the last 5.5 years any bullying until the Kiri Allan scandal blew the bullying culture into the open.
Dr Sharma must be feeling rather chuffed - firstly for revealing the bullying and secondly, for being vindicated after the fact.
The best part of course is that all the leaks are coming out from within Labour now so the bloodletting has well and truly started.
Ginny Andersen's first interview on crime :
https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...pg?format=500w

Ardern not only disputed Dr Sharma's allegations, she went on to gaslight that he was the one involved in bullying!

https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/...ullying-claims
"Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has rejected bullying claims made by Labour MP Gaurav Sharma - and confirmed ongoing staffing issues in the backbencher's office."
According to the mother of the abused workers, someone in labour leaked their complaint to the media. Conspiracy theories abound!! Ginny is detested within labour?
She is not liked by the Ardern camp - was getting nowhere until Hipkins became PM and then, received rapid promotions especially as one after another of Ardern's ministers fell over - Stuart Nash, Michael Wood, Kiri Allan & of course, the treacherous Meka Whaitiri.
Clearly a leak designed to embarrass Hipkins.

MBIE scraps $27 Christmas party subsidies amid spending cuts, voluntary redundancies investigated
Quote:
One of the country’s largest ministries is canning its $27-a-head subsidy for Christmas parties as part of broader spending cuts set to intensify under the incoming National-led Government.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, which has more than 6000 staff across the country, confirmed today it was scrapping the end of year function subsidy and reducing discretionary spending by 15 per cent with “immediate effect”.
MBIE chief executive Carolyn Tremain said the measures were a response to a request from the Labour Government to cut spending by $110 million, or 2 per cent, and did not reflect anything from the incoming National-led Government.
Both National and Act have signalled major cuts at MBIE, which is responsible for a vast array of services including immigration, with the latter saying it wants to halve the workforce.
The parties have both talked openly about public service cuts across the board, regularly criticising what they called a “bloated bureaucracy” and examples of “wasteful spending”.
The public service cuts are critical to National’s tax cut plans.
MBIE CEO has confirmed there could be further Headless Turkey run arounds coming ;)

Bard Billot on Labour's Boy Blunder
Chip Flop
The Lost Mountains of Oblivion are cold.
Cold as the gaze of withered love
From a faithless electorate.
Here on the 26.91 Latitude,
In the Land of Eternal Night,
A pitiful scene: a shadowed cave lit only
By a smouldering fire of dried yak droppings.
Jagged spikes of ice sprout
From the whiskers of Exiled King Chipkins.
Lost are the armies of Loyal Serfs,
Lost are his Proud Lords and Preening Courtiers,
All fallen to the House of Blue,
Who have seized the throne in distant Kings Landing.
The Ex-King is deep in meditation,
And hands a sheet of parchment
To Dave, Thane of Parker.
What’s this? enquires the morose Thane.
It’s a blank sheet, says the One Time King,
A clean slate for new ideas for our campaign.
Write anything you want! Blue sky thinking!
The Thane hands back the parchment.
On it, his words in large inked script:
TAX THE BARONS LIKE I TOLD U.
This sounds like a good idea,
Says King Chipkins with a gleam in his eye.
Sound the trumpets! Grease the swords!
Prepare to March on King’s Landing!
Dave, Thane of Parker, stares in dismay.
O King, he says, the hour has passed;
Our armies scatter’d, our hopes dash’d
On the fierce rocks of the Captain’s Call –
The war is lost.

We can guess already how Tourism will likely perform and that will be a shadow of 7+ years ago.. and only for those operators who survived the Ardern / Labour Comrades' brand of restrictive & punitive Socialism
The old story of Labour leaving the wreckage behind in the ditch at the end of their reign of destruction
repeats itself yet again, after having p!ssed the good times against the wall, spent & squandered up large unabated until the bottom of the tin even shocked the smiling Bankraider and sidekick Central Depository Head Chef .. in process hoping no-one would notice the deception and treachery unfolding ;)
Erm, I think you will find Hipkins is still PM, and Labour have overseen the nation's biggest wealth destruction in our history over the last 6 years. Our grandchildren will be paying for Ardern et al's incompetence. Methinks Labour need to up their shill rates and attract some new talent.
Being a bit blind there .. it was probably on bones of it's AZZ when the Hilarious Cluster of Clueless Comrades were in trying to BS you round in circles on how good things were when they weren't ;)
these things don't suddenly happen on factors popping up overnight..
That is unless you happen to be the hapless Chipkins who just copped the resounding incoming epic king shot of all king shots from Joe Public at large .. and never saw that coming ;)
Finished working out where you went wrong with Ryman .. or still too hard ? ;)

Winston Peters hugged by stranger while talking to media in Auckland
;)Quote:
Peters, appearing not to know the man, said, “Hang on, I’m in the middle of a conference here”, and then, “Hey, we’re not the Labour Party”.
Wonderful to see Dame Jacinda Ardern, now a Fellow at Harvard University & role model to many, speaking at the Harvard Public School of Health, reflecting on Leading with empathy, & what its like to make hard but compassionate policy choices under a global spotlight, 1pm EST Friday. (7am NZT)
It was live- streamed on Harvard's website & You Tube page for those unable to attend in person, at this stage not avail for later on-demand viewing.

I wonder how many in the US realise that she led with BS and spin, and her compassion ran as far as gleefully acknowledging she had created 2 classes of citizen. I wonder if her audience reflected on the parliament grounds in flames thanks to her "compassionate " leadership.
There were already two classes of citizen.
The intelligent that followed scientific advice & the idiots, who made their own choice not to.
And like idiots they are still going on about it.
Believe me the US is used to far worse than anything NZ has produced, afterall they endured Trump for 4 years, a crook, a misogynist & a president that inspired insurrection.
Go and jab that in your arm, along with a healthy dose of Janola.
Garbage.
There were indeed two classes of citizens - those who followed the one source of truth from the most transparent government ever (and became blind and ignorant)
Vs
Those who think for themselves.
We know which class you belong to.

Nanaia Mahuta says she carried weight of Three Waters reform without the support of key Labour ministers
Nanaia Mahuta says key Labour ministers could have supported Three Waters more
Quote:
Former senior minister Nanaia Mahuta said she “carried” her landmark Three Waters reforms without the support of key senior ministers.
Mahuta implied she carried the reforms alone.
Quote:
She acknowledged she might have made a mistake.
Had the Support of most of NZ on the "3 Idiots on Water" Strategy or did she ? ;)
A quick look out the window may have suggested what Joe Public thought of her Water Reform Nonsense was, but it seems that was something to be ignored by an arrogant Govt & Minister intent on bulldozing through whatever they liked with or without support of others or NZ public, any old how numerous amending legislation entries to fix issues & errors that had gone through just previously, passed under urgency in places too
"she might have made a mistake" probably understates things greatly ;)
There is a reason why Mahuta was been dumped, and lost her seat etc which is plainly obvious to all ;)

Gaming the system? Teens among highest earning beneficiaries of trusts - IRD
In 2022, Comrade Special Tax & Rev sniffing Fill-in extraordinaire - Nosey Parker was ducking & diving trying to weave pearly fuzzies on desires to extract blood from under any stone within sight .. and he missed this one ? ;)
Obviously the thought of getting his skinny white A%% made target practice further by the younger set must have scared him immensely that he didn't want to disturb the stones incase what lurked under bit him hard ;)
Don't worry - David, what resides under the stones is still there waiting patiently for if you ever return in a future cradle of Labour Filth & Destruction intent on deconstructing what remains of our Great Kiwiland in the future ;)

Māori warning to Government - We look forward to being the pebbles in the shoes of Parliament
Moaning about what now ?
Pebbles in the shoes ? Now how could that have possibly happened ?
It could be worse - ask Kelvin & a few of the other unfortunates ..
And then you've been saved from being dropped right in it at the hands of Chipkins
and other lost & clueless inhabitants of failed Labour reign of ever increasing destruction.
That was the Government Ardern said at outset was for all, but wound up badly listing towards
what, with gross and blatant abuses of that position of power then seen, before Madam did
a bunk and run away :)
but is that not MMP & our set form of Democracy, even with the butchering up to allow
for a select number of additional preferential seats no other ethnic or other group gets ?
What proportion of the seats ? 16% or more .. with inclusion of the 4 or 5 special Maori seats..
The other 84% are from the Ngati Pakeha, Ngati Various Asian, Ngati Europe, Ngati American & Ngati African tribes
so no need to feel lonely among the other 84% hailing of those tribes ;)
That's NZ .. so tough if you don't like it or the results / mutations it produces :)
Perhaps a little more care on what other factions one lot jumps into bed with might help as well ;)
If you dice it the wrong way or try to hijack all the camels and many then decide to flee the other way,
then obviously it wont work quite as favourably ..

Deputy PM Winston Peters blames media for Auckland Covid lockdown
Quote:
On the pandemic, Peters said: “If they [the media] are so concerned about the state of the economy with respect to their industry, why did they allow the second dramatic lockdown with only one case in Auckland of our biggest commercial sector in the country in terms of volume and number?”
The second pandemic lockdown began in Auckland on August 12, 2020, when Peters was still a member of the Government, however that lockdown was triggered by three cases.
How all the Auckland readers feeling now on being reminded of this widely hated Lock down - splattered in the media & in NZH - the NZME Rag which covers the Auckland region ? ;)
Hipkins: "They simply have no moral compass guiding them"
Pot Kettle .. sounds an accurate summation of Labour's clueless circus just a few & further months back ;)
Dont worry Christopher John .. your turn is coming up real soon to face the well primed fire torches :)

Former Labour MP Steve Maharey quits Pharmac, ACC boards as new Government takes office
Quote:
Former Labour MP and Minister Steve Maharey has resigned from the boards of Pharmac, and ACC.
He was the chair of both boards.
Maharey was appointed by the previous Labour Government and got in trouble earlier this year after penning opinion columns that flouted the political neutrality expected of public service board members.
Chairman jump off boards - must be imagining that the fun times & party is over in the SOE's ;)
