Seeing sooo many tweets about โcosting the taxpayerโฆโ, โtaxpayerโs moneyโฆโ it really rips ma knittinโ.
When govt spends it ADDS to the private sector. What it is spent on and who benefits is another matter, but itโs NOT a cost to taxpayers. Learn to reframe the argument.

Readers: Nicola didn't listen.
Kia ora @NicolaWillisMP This is the austerity doom loop. You are in it. You are cornered by our trade deficit and a dormant housing market. Ask Treasury about your remaining options for avoiding a prolonged recession through 2024.

Just like how the Fast Track Bill being rammed through under urgency is not only picking winners but enshrining them in legislation. The hypocrisy from you clowns is next level.

By what metric? Be specific. We all want to know, as even by his own measures he has failed. Only a self-interested Landlord is better off now than under Labour. Everyone else is worse off. Trickle-down/Austerity doesn't work, proven over and over.

All hail the most important economic history graph in NZ... the great debt swap of 1992 to 2008 - 16 years of our economy 'growing' off the back of increasing private debt. Falling interest rates kept the party going between 2010 and 2022. Now what?

ACT has lost all credibility in this area.
It is widely known ACT are a mouthpiece for the Atlas RW think-tank. And it is Atlas' ambition to undermine public support for indigenous rights in NZ over the next six months.

If you think we are poorly served in Aus check out this absolute train wreck of an interview with NZ Prime Minister Christopher Luxon...
Like Scott Morrison he's a former ad man, but thicker, if you thought that was possible...

That $3bn joined the $15bn of new debt that banks have pumped into the economy through a relatively dormant housing market. Voila, $18bn added to household savings. Not you bottom feeder? Sorry about that, the economy is geared for the deserving rentiers. [2/2]

Here's a comparison of the change in jobs relative to the same week in 2023. There appears to be momentum building here.
Remember, we have added over 60,000 people to the population in the last year - and lost nearly 40,000 jobs ๐ฒ [2/n]

About 1-in-8 working-age kiwis rely on a main benefit to eat, pay bills, and do bottom-feeding stuff like suffering precarious work for starvation wages.
Seasonal effects will increase the number of people on main benefit to about 410,000 in Dec, 95,000 higher than in 2019! [2/n]

Ye right. How can you say this. Its rather belated, as it was a broken promise from the Election. It was only Public pressure that reminded you of the promise. In todays Herald a story about a lady who died, and who had self funded the Cancer Drug, as it wasnt available as prom

Winston Peters, after pointing out Ayesha Verrall, has a sister inlaw who works for the Health Department. Should also have pointed out Luxon has a sister inlaw who works in the tobacco industry. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Wellington City Council needs to cut pet projects and non-essentials, like its $1.1 billion car lane budget.
