Excellent perspective.
Excerpt :
"To the number of people reading this who are fired up due to how the fuel prices are affecting you as a “middle income Kiwi” – you are not in a precarious situation and have been insulated from the worst of COVID. Having to take a holiday a bit closer to home due to the cost of fuel is not the end of the world, and it is not the responsibility of the government to make sure you can spend a bit more time in your holiday home. You might find people pandering to you everywhere else, but not here.
Instead good government policy would support those who are most vulnerable – not necessarily those who are most affected – and if it was relatively long-lasting it may support the transition.
With indexed benefits and minimum wages this support of the most vulnerable is already happening.
Meanwhile, the excise and RUC changes do neither and instead shifts the cost of increasing scarce fuel onto those who are not consuming the fuel.
Worst of all it opens the door to increasing arbitrary subsides based on political expediency – with the harder to observe costs seen as acceptable for politicians to keep themselves in power."
It’s clear that Cindy & her team of nincompoops are not only incapable of delivering on their huge promises, they are incapable of coherent policy settings to deliver the right & proper social & economic outcomes. All they care about is getting elected and pushing their racist & divisive policies - and breeding more beneficiaries/voters.
Good to see that die hard Labour supporters are finally seeing through the spin and BS of Cindy.
Roll on 2023!

I’ve always voted Green or red. I’m part of a silent, furious chunk of the faithful who’ve been fermenting in acidic disappointment for a long time now, like a forgotten jar of political pickles.
So now, as we come out of Covid, we’re looking to peacetime governance. And we’re faced with the underwhelming choice of staying in a loveless marriage – or cheating with Luxon. This is about as grim as $4.50 for one piece of broccoli.
But it’s true, you can’t stay in a relationship out of gratitude for the past. You have to actually have hope and faith in their future. And I don’t know if I do any more with Labour.

They're getting a 6% pay rise in 20 days. Then the issue will be fixed for most people.
