Such a pity we didn’t have one brand new fit-for-purpose ferry by now

Funny that, I wonder what economic / political factors might be at work dragging business confidence down?

How fraudsters and scammers are getting more sophisticated in NZ Economic cost of fraud is believed to be around $10 billion.

The economic cost of fraud in NZ is about $10 billion a year; $7-$8b of that is tax avoidance.

Wealthy individuals and multinational corporations are the primary drivers of large-scale tax avoidance.

If we want to β€œclaw back welfare payments” let’s start with the ones we’re giving to the wealthy.

So, nothing to do with the current government’s dismantling of our economy and blatantly favouring their donors at the expense of all others?
My mistake

Every time I see one of his Billboards around the place (weren’t they only valid during electioneering?), I’m tempted to add a wee flourish…

So, is this an admission that Nick Fuentes’ only sexual encounters have been with men?
I mean good on him if true, I just thought that might be problematic for his base…

If GDP declining by $28.8 billion since they took over is β€˜sideways’, I hate to think what β€˜sliding downhill on our arse’ might look like

If only we’d taken delivery of the fully fit-for-purpose, brand new, extraordinary good deal ferry last year…
Such a pity it was cancelled, at great expense, via a couple of text messages, purely out of an ideological childish tantrum.

No surprises there.

What we’ve got is a Liz Truss economic disaster with Trumpian overtones.

Austerity has never worked. Trickle down is not a myth, but an outright deception. An unashamed dismantling of the very social fabric we hold dear.

Aotearoa NZ has been ripped apart by flawed ideologies.
