That’s just a disaster for the Hort sector where about 1/3 staff are backpackers… another failure in the COVID Delta response #nzpol 1news.co.nz/2021/11/24/hipki… 1news.co.nz/2021/11/24/hipki…

Don’t be fooled… they kept us in Level 3 longer than needed… we were used by the Government as a buffer because they couldn’t protect the Auckland border… now there are cases in other parts of the North Island and they are about to change approach in Auckland… #nzpol

The World is opening and we have huge labour shortages… in the horticulture sector the backpackers are a big part of our labour supply and we could easily miss the boat for this season cnn.com/2021/11/08/world/cov…

Minister @michaelwoodnz should view his history of funding state highway maintenance - no track record of delivery here, we just get more promises like his defunct Auckland walking and cycling bridge nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/t…

Pretty stunning result with world supply lines under pressure freshplaza.com/article/93692…

With a price tag of over $600m a km to build and will service only 10% of Auckland’s expected growth… this massive spend doesn’t stack up economically and is another political decision rather than a strategic decision for Auckland #nzpol tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zeal…

What a disaster, no clarity, no decisions just more of the same confused lockdowns… she still believes in elimination at the expense of anything else, it’s a disaster waiting to unfold… no sense of what is being done to peoples lives tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zeal…

Bit of a problem if MIQ places weren’t part of the solution the Govt offered!!! stuff.co.nz/business/farming…

The Minister of Transport doesn’t even know how much his centrepiece projects will deliver.. If they get cancelled all the time like his infamous walking and cycling bridge then what can you expect #nzpol #nondelivery #walking #cycling

Now it’s not the Government’s responsibility to ensure cellphone coverage on Transmission Gully !!! Why hasn’t the Minister ensured this crucial infrastructure has connectivity!!!

Further evidence that the Horticulture sector is really struggling… we need the borders opened up for the labour supply… rnz.co.nz/news/country/45375…

Best thing this govt has done is Clean Car Discount… out of 4.5m cars we bring in 300,000 a year, only a very small proportion of these are EV’s… face it they have done nothing as usual #nzpol

Elimination strategy is dead and buried… still locking down Waikato though… these guys never intended to let us out of this alert level…. They tell a lot of spin about irrelevancies but won’t do their job of protecting our borders… PM also missing in action again… #nzpol

Reductions plan proposes 25% reduction in freight transport compare with MOT projects 55% increase in tonnage… another plan that will never happen #notlikely #dreamers #noeconomy #nzpol

Another example of politicisation of transport… Minister making directions on projects without any due diligence of the project… leads to non-delivery in the end #politicisation #nondelivery #nzpol

Very strong predictions from ANZ… primary sector to saviour of NZ #primaryrocks #gonzfarmers

Let’s hope this assists over supply lines!!! freshplaza.com/article/93619…

A “likely” loan…. Who sets up a $2b loan without repayment terms and interest rates… no accountability, no financial advice, no independent review…. How easy it is for this Govt to find money out of fresh air… a “likely” loan alright #Budget2022 #nzpol #finance
