Called out many months ago, but no rebuttal, no defence, no repudiation, no reply, nothing ... says it all. Just carries on deflecting, diverting, spamming.

It isn't a matter of whether large or small companies are better off under one govt or another.
Should a country be run like a business (is it appropriate)?
Businesses are profit-oriented (though they are slowly becoming more socially or holistically aware) but countries aren't about profit and loss.
"Everyone seems better off" compared to what?
Certainly, some sectors don't look as 'better off' as other sectors.
When National was in power last they cut expenditure on Hospitals and Education (in real terms if not in the actual budget (though memory says that it was cut in absolute terms but I could be wrong there)) resulting in the slow deterioration of the sectors.
There were reasons - probably good business reasons - for that but a country isn't a business and has different key metrics.
It's authored by balance so enough said. The same sort of language as a russian troll posting on youtube.
OMG. This thread is now beyond ridiculous :t_down::t_down::t_down:
Agreed, how is balance still here :\
Maybe the off topic and irrelevant postings do need to be removed more pro-actively.
You shouldn't be able to attack daily other users though.
He calls me a liar every day which is rather bad for my mental wellbeing :(
Then people can simply point it out in a mature fashion.
I have no idea whether it is Vince who "owns" the ST site, or someone else, but at the rate things are going, I wouldn't blame them if they decided to just pull the plug and shut it down. This place has gone to Hell in a hand basket, and is beyond redemption now. Bloody disappointing.
Youtube and other social media is far worse unfortunately.
Hopefully an AI can be deployed to moderate forums sometime soon.
I don't have any links to labour (even though they are at 51%). I'm probably a swing voter.
Though after seeing scomo and boris not so much. I voted for sir john twice but left after the asset sales, huge migration and frozen kiwisaver.
All voters should reconsider their options when there is a bad choice.
Plus people have to be blind not to see the strong economy with low corona numbers (unique in the world currently).
Decent article by the respected journalist Andrea vance:

Asking about birth control could be rather interesting for many people.
Cool stuff (another copy and paste).
How does someone get to 15k content free posts while not being moderated to any extent.
Perhaps you should BOTH put significantly more effort into the quality of your contribution, rather than the quantity of posts?Quote:

What Chris Lee wants Luxon to do to make National great
https://www.chrislee.co.nz/taking-stock
A country with very low savings rates outside of housing needs investor protectionism to stop offshore people taking ownership of key companies.
This should be be addressed under any new proposal.
How about your lies?
How do you reconcile that?
It is impossible to refute because you have made up your mind.
My mind is quite open, I do my own research, weigh up the facts and come to my conclusions.
You prefer to sling accusations and makeup posts by false attribution of quotes.
Take a breath - this is affecting your mental health again.
As I predicted Act support drops while Lab unchanged:

It's a pity the right have so many ready to adopt christian social views.
Though Mr colin craig did recieve 4% so there's a constituency out there.
The opposition are not really an alternative when they wanted so many covid deaths here in 2020 and changed leader 5 or 6 times.
Clueless Cindy's response tonight :

I am my own person - have voted for Labour, National & Act in my time as long as their policies are what I consider to be in the best long term interests of NZ.
I have never received a single cent from any political organization and both right wing & left wing organizations can get screwed.
The future is bright for National long term I wouldn't worry.
The boomer low income working class in Australia will retire within 10 years. They will have grown up with aussie talk radio, sky news and christian memes and restore national to government eventually.
Do you want me to post the false quote attributed to me again?
Is your memory so short that you don't even remember this?
It does seem that you don't like the tables being turned on you by someone using your tactics.
I find it boring after a short while and can't show the rabid determination that you do - I'm probably just more balanced.
Absolutely. Where are the False quote(s) you keep referring to?
And you might as well post the quoteS from you which are totally & completely out of context too.
Then we know the colour of your balance.
You are of course very very tolerant of the outright libellous lies from your fellow Labour Party shill?
Here you go to refresh your lagging memory

That?
#1 - Only you would be upset if with such an obvious made-up quote to mock your obvious devotion to Cindy.
#2 - Did I ever post it again to have you refer to it as 'quotes'?
Since it causes you so much aggravation and hurt (I would have thought you would love it), consider it deleted and I apologize for causing you such unhappiness.
Wow - that took a while.
I asked for you to delete it straight away.
I can't consider it deleted until it is and it isn't!
So seems like a bit of an empty apology.
And apologies like that aren't real anyway - you apologise for the act rather than the effect it caused.
"A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with said person or organization."
Spreading misinformation does you no credit or give any credibility to your posts. I have never had and never will have any connection to Labour or any other party apart from a vote every 3 years.

Balance is like Ben shapiro. Manages to talk endlessly (without a breath) but offers little of lasting value for the readers.
Mind boggling to see National MP Harete Hipango posting her support (again) for anti-vaccination protest groups, this time 'Voices for Freedom.'
That's clever, after the messy disastrous past few years, a good start to the New Year showing what they've so desperately been missing, all pulling together, unity and loyalty under new leader Luxon. ( I am joking in case anyone misses it)

See the media (paid off by this government) attempting to make a mountain out of a molehill.
The media should be focusing on how NZers are being lied to, misled and failed in everything by this racist divisive & incompetent government led by a clueless spin mistress. But of course not - they are getting so well fed by Cindy - with taxpayers' funds.

Another current National MP supporting anti vaccination mandates, Matt King.
Whooaaa.... what's happening to the 'turned over a new leaf' & 'fresh start' under new leader Luxon?
This sort of thing was all supposed to have been sorted out & in the past.

It is ironic you say the media is paid off by the this Government but you keep publishing cartoons from Tremaine who is obviously no fan .
Janet Wilson from Stuff, Bill Ralston from the Listener, `Heather du Plessi-allen, and Barry Soper and all from the Herald are no fans of the Government either but continue to criticise at every opportunity.
The Govt. never paid them enough?
Keep spreading misinformation and lies.

There are those in the media with integrity who cannot be bought by this clueless corrupted Cindy led government - fortunately. Thanks for pointing them out.
Isn’t it great to know that there are those who cannot be bought by Cindy?
Election bribe to Maoris of $120m to create 3000 jobs and fix marae - 150 jobs created and where have the funds gone to? That’s corruption on a grand scale - that’s your Cindy. Spin mistress and rotten to her soles.

And this is why National's new "leader" is not a leader, just another follower...
