Stale Accountants might be a vast improvement on the current talent the Greens have on board - with a curious tendency of making an *rse of themselves & falling on their swords on a regular basis ;)
Just imagine if they had upped their skills level for the past 6 years as the Labour sidekick Cling-on bedfellows - someone might have worked out the depth and direction of Robbo's large hole & been able to compute the real cost of the Green's retarded policies ;)
When the bean counter is done counting his beans, what will have meaningfully improved for NZ?
Will productivity have improved, will NZ'ers be happier and want to stay here, will housing be fixed
Well - Labour with Grant on a large finance shovel brought you the king sized Hole and probably a COL hole in one, the Greens managed to shove it, any sign of progress & you backwards in time so you forgot which way was up - now on that sort of achievement score anything must be an improvement on the last orchestrated bunch of ineffective incompetent blind spinning talent ;)

Interislander Kaitaki ferry’s stabiliser fin missing for more than 18 months
It could be worse however - look no further than .. all of Labour's stabiliser fins appear to have been missing for at least 6 years or more...
probably all chucked down into one of Robbo's large holes to try to hide the bottom from sight ;)
Classic Tucker Carlson on his latest speech tour of Australia:
“Like if I went to New Zealand I wouldn’t mention Jakinda Adhern [sic], you know what I mean, that would be rude. I wouldn’t say like, that retarded girl with the teeth. I wouldn’t, that’s not something a guest says.”
Definitely unstable - Chippie & Robbo ... like something else & likely a few other past & present talentpieces or not ? ;)
They dont run away, jump overboard, get tossed or kicked out or come out with the most ridiculous of excuses when found out or wanting .. do they ? ;)
I object to that description of the woke-beloved ex-leader of the Labour Party.
She is not retarded as that is an insult to retards who cannot help being what they are.
But she is a
manipulative,
clueless,
useless,
hypocritical and
totally reprehensibly selfish *itch
with no real consideration for the welfare of NZers.
We see her exposing her true self these days overseas as she continues to lie and bs her way in the world outside of NZ. She dares not front anymore in NZ as NZers have wised up to her antics.
Despicable *itch.
The Acolypse after Labour & Robbo's Grand Spend Up Easy Like No Tomorrow incompetent & clueless F*ck Up appears to be going well.
Probably only the start & small tip of the iceberg on what is yet to follow:

Company insolvencies and liquidations up, 474,000 people now behind on payments
Quote:
High numbers of company insolvencies and liquidations point to extremely harsh trading conditions in construction, hospitality and retail, an expert says.
Data from credit bureau Centrix showed insolvencies jumped to 269 in May - up by more than 100 from the same month last year.
Company liquidations were up 22 percent year-on-year and were the highest level recorded in May for a decade.
Centrix managing director Keith McLaughlin said the cost of living crisis was enduring.
“When consumers are facing difficult circumstances they very quickly stop discretionary spending,” Keith McLaughlin said.
“By stopping their spending, things like retail, hospitality, building, construction, even new motor vehicles get put off or cancelled.
That's what you get trusting the Left & they go crazy encouraging all to live beyond their means, blow the house, blow the savings, borrow up large .. like no tomorrow ;)
Be lots of pain out there - Who swallowed Arden & Robbo's puffed up balls of glowing prosperity and all rocking along fine - she'll be right .. Spend Spend Spend up like no tomorrow in Labour's cotton wool nest hidden from reality ? Polish up any number of Crisis moments along the way to distract, so they hopefully won't notice ;)
Enjoy .. Thanks - Labour ;)
How's the overpaid holiday going Robbo ? Many spikes in the tail back at Uni hidden from sight, or are there ? ;)

Broken emergency comms led to delay in ambulance dispatch to fatal Hillpark fire
Quote:
This came after a glitch in the outdated and patchy 111 emergency call system.
But the system is fragmented, and the channel that connects it, called InterCAD, suffers random outages, which increased markedly from 2021 to early 2024.
The 111 call did not go through.
Thanks Labour - for ignoring further Crucial Emergency Services ;)

At least it seemed to managed to survive, limping along long after the talentpiece who dragged it into existence had been dispatched in a shameful deposing and run away to hide fast.. Most will recognise that the District Health Boards delivering at the local level were far more adept at delivering & catering to their target audiences, than some hopeless grandiose UK based flawed NH look -like empire inspired and created by Political morons in Wellington who either didn't know or want to admit how the stumbling & shuddering creation was managing .. even in the face of repeated reported failures in the Media ;)

KO KO’d as they spent $20m. Six years later there is nothing to but an expensive section with development plans now too expensive for further progress.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/kainga...D6EHC6TQ775HI/
Having personally dealt with KO, this debacle is but the top of the iceberg of inefficiency, incompetence, arrogance and gross mismanagement which characterised KO under the government of Ardern & Hipkins .
Our group had the misfortune of presenting a 20 unit project in a high needs Auckland area. Nobody would believe the run around we received from KO - first they wanted 2 bedrooms unit, then 3 bedrooms and then, a mixture of both! It’s like they were more keen to keep things going and going so that they can be on their big fat salaries and benefits with zero accountability for delivering anything.
Anyway, wrote about it before and I can recall one poster (ex-employee of KO) confirming everything I wrote about the shambolic state of KO.
Thank goodness there’s new management and new board in place.

Govt considering importing LNG as dire energy shortfall bites
Quote:
Energy Minister Simeon Brown says the government is seriously considering importing liquefied natural gas to fill an energy shortfall, BusinessDesk reports.
A shortage of supply has sent gas prices soaring. This, combined with low hydro lake levels, has sent wholesale electricity prices to sustained record highs, trading above $800 a megawatt hour this week with numerous spikes higher.
Brown said these were the highest electricity prices in the Western world. He blamed Labour’s ban on new oil and gas exploration and other policies for a “dire loss of confidence in the sector”.
The actions of Labour's misguided Energy Muppet always were going to have consequences further down the track ;)
How many times over will Kiwi's up & down the land wind up paying dearly for the chapters of Energy incompetence & clueless shortsighted directives which occurred under her hand ?
Been ripped off on your Power Account recently ? .. look no further for further deeds committed under the same watch which will cost many dearly ;)
Where's the stooping in reminding people why NZ faces energy shortages in the future due to the idiocy of Ardern (Cindy), and her determined self-aggrandizement? Or is it the "Cindy" you object to? Is that more important in your mind than a nation suffering the effects brought upon it by a vacuous fool? Cindy shouldn't have shopped her niece then should she? Oh for the days of Piggy Muldoon.
Or could it be that when peak power is used every generator gets paid the peak price - even for their cheap hydro.
If power was priced on a cost plus and averaged by contribution (MWH) then you wouldn't get the huge peaks and the peak generators would still be paid their costs.
Max's design was wrong from the start!
You bet it was wrong .. where did the savings & massive gains out of Creative revaluation of Power assets go ? ;)
All have been paying dearly since the Sector was rorted & ripped off wholesale, by no less than Govt to fill a large gap - was it not ? ;)
It goes worse than that - a misguided pricing model based on creatively upvalued historic assets thrown into new entities for floating off.
The last mob didn't like discounts - so they went - in form of windfall profits back into greedy Power Company Pockets rates unadjusted.
What was Woods thinking ? :)
How many victims were there out of Power companies playing 'Lure a Customer" games then hike up rates after end of the term after signing up ? Some of the largest, including the one that reviews earliest only to be more expensive than those reviewing later are some of the worst in the Sector on ripping off their customers.
And the major shareholder in one of these offenders is ? :)
Last increase - the Lakes were full what the excuse for those increases ?
Most recent increases excuse for increases - low lake levels & high spot prices.
Decade after decade of generation off historic generation assets last century & the participants think new assets justify further increased rates. How many decades did Power companies sit not doing much capital work - pocketing large profits off historic generation assets ?
The Politicians are complicit in the Energy Rip Offs being slung out at the consumers - retail & wholesale.
Hiked up Assets values when it was intended to gut as much capital out of floats - to justify hiked up Energy costs.
Offer freebies & discounted jobs to the likes of Tiwai when those outfits looked like they would become a thorn in the side for politicians.
Ignore the future energy demands, future energy sources needed & likely upgrades of the Grid until they landed in the laps of another lot of muddlers next in office ;)
This is what everyone has got from a rotten to the core artificially hiked Profit Focussed Sector model - where the Infrastructure, Supply, Capacity, Pricing & Resources along with future planning has come well behind the Power Companies structure all focussed on chasing the big bucks and how well they can gut their customers pockets.
All Participants in the Power Sector & the Politicians should hang their heads in shame on the rorting profiteering Energy shambles that they have created & allowed to prevail..
Well - here you have it:

Power price warning for households as major users feel the crunch
Any other Burglars & Other Rorters due around that haven't announced their intentions to flog more of everyones hard earned ? ;)
Those revaluations always were suspect on their intentions - in this case to rip more out of pockets of consumers & to justify ripping more out of hands of investors to toss into Government's paws .. a dirty dishonest trick that most will be paying dearly for .. nothing like a bit of "You pay again many times more for what you have already paid for x times already & was already yours until we throw it in new company and hock bits off" rorting ;)
Look no further than elements of the Listed Property sectors for further revaluation games & playing around.
A summary of the Labour party through the years. (From Peter Fraser to Chris Napkins)
