Yep. He seems rather obsessed with those who are doing it tough.. previously he called them bottom feeders.

If your prescription is written by a specialist, or in my case the dentist, then the charge is $15.
Very apt description too.
Beneficiaries, parasites, peasants and losers bred by Labour to fleece hard working and frugal NZers.
109,000 on the jobseeker benefit for more than 1 year and NZ has to import 260,000 migrants because of labour shortages. Fxxk the bottom dwelling freeloaders. Fxxk Labour.

COVID-19 has caused an economic shock three times worse than the 2008 financial crisis.
I think NZ managed covid-19 well when compare with other countries. I worked through out the covid period. Becuase of the steps taken and descipline made in work places at that time, I was able to work without getting covid-19.

Labour’s worst week highlights its existential crisis - Political Round-up
Quote:
The Labour Party’s fortunes go from bad to worse. Ever since the party was turfed out of power in October, incurring its biggest-ever loss, Labour has shown no real sign of learning any lessons from its defeat, nor does it show any capacity to revive itself.
Last week is being labelled its “worst week yet” by commentators. One of them, Vernon Small, who until recently was the senior adviser to David Parker, wrote yesterday in the Sunday Star Times that Labour appears to have finally hit rock bottom last week, with another poor opinion poll result of 28 per cent support, Grant Robertson abandoning ship and a new report out showing that in government, Labour had failed on child poverty - see: Was that Labour’s worst week yet? (paywalled)
Not only is Robertson a major loss of talent for the party in Opposition, Small points out that most of the other stars have been departing: “As well as Robertson and Ardern, Kelvin Davis, Nanaia Mahuta, Andrew Little, Michael Wood and Kiritapu Allan have all jumped ship or been thrown overboard. Third-ranked Megan Woods is being equivocal about her long-term plans.” Meanwhile, Small points out that Chris Hipkins has demoted other solid talent, such as Damien O’Connor and David Parker, leaving Labour’s front bench “looking decidedly callow”.
Last one out - turn out the lights & pull the plug ;)
Any of the Comrades need a rapid session of swimming lessons ?

Dividend payments expected to spike ahead of trustee tax rate rising
Yet more carry forward of Robbo's crock of Economic Cluelessness morphs itself on 1 Apr 2024
TRUSTEE TAX hike from 33% to 39%
Just to remind all why they sent this incompetent mob down the road ;)
Stuart Nash not holding back - pxssed off like skunk at Kiri ‘crash car’ Allan & Hapless Hipkins for being soft on gangs (because they are Māoris!) :
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/stuart...GY43LEOMSOR2I/
Stuart Nash has hit out at his former Labour colleagues over changes to laws targeting gangs he wanted to introduce, but which others wouldn’t progress due to fears they would unfairly target Māori.
“He said, ‘Well, see if you can get it past Kiri [Allan]. And I went to Kiri and said this is what I want to do. And she said ‘No, we need to leave it at $30,000.’”
Nash then asked to take the issue to Cabinet.
“And she said ‘No, this is what it’s going to be.’ She obviously went to Hipkins and Hipkins said, ‘Okay, we’re going to leave it at $30,000′. Why? Because it’s anti-Māori. Bulls***.”

Kiri has such low expectations for her people.. If you're maori then it's obvious you're a gang member.
What about human rights for victims and the working class who have to live inside gang neighbourhoods (who can also be maori).
Good point Panda. There is hope for you yet.
Do gang members vote? Hard to know who Kiri is pandering to.
Maybe a priviliged section of acadamia.

Stuart Nash hits out at Labour, Kiri Allan’s stance on gang asset seizures
Quote:
Stuart Nash has hit out at his former Labour colleagues over changes to laws targeting gangs he wanted to introduce, but which others wouldn’t progress due to fears they would unfairly target Māori.
Last year the Labour government changed the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act to allow police to seize gang leaders’ property, such as cars and bikes, if valued over $30,000 and if it could not be proven they were paid for legitimately.
But then-police minister Nash wanted the threshold lowered to $0 - a plan he says was dashed by Labour’s Minister of Justice Kiri Allan over concerns it would hurt Māori and would contravene the Bill of Rights.
Speaking to Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking this morning, Nash hit out again at Allan, saying at the time his view was “pull your bloody head in”.
He strongly denied that such a move was aimed at or would hurt Māori, saying police were “race-agnostic” when it came to dealing with gangs.
Keep ripping into them Stu .. that filthy rotting carcass infested by the clueless remnants that got booted
really needs to be turned over many times to ensure all the filth has fallen out ;)
Now there is a Former Labour Politician who should have become Leader and would have been well
respected, if it weren't for the trash & other incompetent dimwits resident within the party ;)
Instead the high level incompetents on the way out managed to find another clueless incompetent and look where that lead things when the wheels fell off the Bus ;)
The sour Labourites really have lowered the bar deep into the mud, lead by Ginny Andersen. They have a long way and a lot of rebuilding to do before they will get anywhere near the Government benches again. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politi...D6CBT4QYZZBTI/

Housing Minister Chris Bishop announces resignation of Kāinga Ora board chairman Vui Mark Gosche
Quote:
On behalf of the Government, I thank Mr Gosche for his many years of service, including the previous six years on the Kāinga Ora board, and I wish him well in his retirement,” said Bishop.
Gosche told the Herald it had been a pleasure to serve on the boards of both Housing New Zealand and Kāinga Ora.
“After nearly six years as board chair, I’ve resigned to spend more time with my whānau.
“Housing is a fundamental right, and I’m proud of how Kāinga Ora and its people, and partners, have made a positive difference in the lives of so many people,” said Gosche.
Gosche’s resignation comes after Bishop, who has been a long-standing critic of Kāinga Ora’s financial management, had promised to review the performance of the agency within 100 days of the new Government taking office.
The independent review would provide a report to the Government by the end of March.
A case of jump before the Report rather than being kicked overboard after ? ;)
Quote:
In December, Bishop announced former National Party Prime Minister and Finance Minister Sir Bill English would lead the review into the agency’s financial situation, procurement and asset management.
Bishop cited a report from the Treasury and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development that found Kāinga Ora’s level of debt had grown from $2.7 billion in 2018 to $12.3b in June last year.
Borrow, borrow, borrow :)
One of Ardern's diversity for the sake of diversity & rewarding ex-Labour supporters appointments - and what a freaking disaster he has turned out to be.
1. Full time staff at KO increased from 1,944 to 3,300 - 70% increase!
2. 1,963 Kiwibuild homes built of the 100,000 promised.
3. Debt increased from $2.7 billion to $12.3 billion and still climbing - 355% increase.
4. State housing waiting list increased by 20,000.
5. $1m spent PER DAY on emergency housing.
Let's hope that this incompetent ex-Labour Minister gets pilloried for the clown that he is.
What a freaking waste of space.

Hipkins comes clean on Labour's Three Waters Bulcr@p
$500 million flushed and no improvement to water anywhere
God knows how many added to payrolls & on long contracts in newly dreamed up Three Waters empires.
Where did the large handouts to Councils disappear to so far on this ?
Anything useful ? or mostly frittered away ? ;)
The poor bl**dy ratepayers can expect to be getting well and truly skrewed over and knifed royally out of this Three Waters Farce & F&^kup that Labour played on all .. and that's on top of what Labour p&ssed up against the wall making motions on getting bods signed up with hands out, desks & the music & other mumbo jumbo ; but little more on three waters ;)
As good as Auckland Light Rail motions from the Labour moron brigade - isn't it ? ;)
Must be more of this idiot style of grandiose projects that cost a bomb, but go nowhere under the last watch of the huddle of incompetent Comrades - surely ? ;)
These wont be isolated examples of the cluelessness that reigned under Ardern & Hipkins leadership :)
