Australia had a wage subsidy for over 52 weeks.
NZ did the subsidy for 12 weeks only.
Though you keep going on as if you do?
More money for health - increase inflation?
Replace payments by the employer with payments by the Govt (the subsidies over lockdowns) - increase inflation?
This is where the dishonesty of Nationals rhetoric comes in - they spout pithy one-liners but can't actually explain how it happens.
This is politics for you!
Tax and spend = neutral on inflation.
Tax cut and still keep spending = more inflation.
Politics is Ardern promising transparency and accountability but doing the exact reverse.
Politics is Ardern promising to solve the housing crisis and turning it into an unmitigated disaster.
Politics is Ardern preaching ‘kindness’ but shutting out pregnant NZ women while allowing in DJs into NZ.
You want more examples?
Very clear now that Ardern had zero clue of preparing NZ for the post COVID world. Hospitals have been left with inadequate staff because of the total lockdown of NZ to offshore workers, desperately needed in the healthcare sector.
The health disaster created by Ardern & Little after 4.5 years in power:

Government quietly backtracks on tax changes after outcry
and with this it appears Nosey Parker has been told to shut up and retreat back in to hiding in his crate :)
Ardern talked big on gun control on her US trip but what has been happening in NZ?

One local man told RNZ he heard five gunshots at 5.15am, which he said was "pretty scary".

A person has been critically injured in a shooting on the main street of a south Auckland town, with police investigating whether it is connected to the ongoing gang tensions.

Police said they were told of shots being fired in Manukau, on Albert St, just before 8pm last night.
Just 10 minutes later, officers responded to reports of more gunfire on Boundary Rd in Ōpaheke.

Great speech by Ardern at Harvard but full of BS as expected :

Poor Ole Joe must have decided they didn't want to keep the free gift we sent him (Covid & all)
Perhaps someone slipped a secret note that most in this part of the world were over all the BS
she spins .. little or no perform, showing up unannounced in a flying crate that wouldn't leave
without their further goodwill assistance .. :)
