    Well you see, consumers aren't good at spending their money. I give the money to landlords and corporations so consumers don't have to.

    Yep and as soon as they gave the landlords more money, literally a couple of months later ours gave us a rent increase 🤬

    She talks like she is explaining how life works to an 8 y.o., and it comes off as very smug and condescending.

    So if Luxon is laser focused on the economy, sets targets and KPIs for his Minsiters that they are supposed to meet - how does she still have a job?

    I love his laser focused statement, because he's technically correct every time.

    Lasers aren't focused at all, so technically every time he is stating that they aren't focused on doing anything.

    Sure, they can be focused with a lens, but then that's just like a toddler using a big magnifying glass to burn poors on the ground from the top of their ivory tower...

    Look Beerhons, what I will say to you is, at the end of the day, most everyday Kiwis have seen Star Wars, and they know lasers fire straight and that we are straight up firing at this economy.

    Kiwis are coming up to me everyday and telling me how well we are doing and that despite spending and borrowing more than the last govt, we are great economic managers although it’s possible those people are wealthy and sorted like me.

    I used to run an airline, and at the end of the day I would happy to discuss my record and this governments record with esteemed journalist Michael Hoskings.

    She'll spout off party line for 5 solid minutes, then promptly power chuck all over the white linen tablecloth. Dreadfully embarassing.

    And I see govt finances have got worse again as tax take falls

    govt finances have gotten worse

    Nicola is so brain dead someone should take her pulse to make sure she isn’t some robot.

    And she is signalling more public sector cuts. It’s flaming nuts. Cut the fat…in parliament, beehive, ministerial services, ministers and MPs pay, state sector directors fees, chief exec salaries

    Geeze Brian Roche was saying public sector is a mess . If it is why are they giving big pay rises to chief execs who are responsible for the mess?

    So the taxpayer burden continues. Time to cut the excess from government departments. Cut the number of politicians. We don't need 120. Education is out of hand. NZ fire service has 1800 paid firefighters but 1200 paid administrators.

    The sooner we all realise this is just a hobby for these cardboard cutouts, the more it makes sense. I realise this casts hobbyists in a poor light. How about second rate thespians on the political stage with no script or director.
