As Labour finance minister Grant Robertson borrowed about $140Billion between 2017 & 2023 including paying for the economic shock of Covid-19

Children's Minister accepts state care harm statistics didn't provide full picture Karen Chhour has acknowledged her initial comments didn't paint a full picture.

β€œChildren's Commissioner Claire Achmad told RNZ it was unacceptable to see overall harm in state care had increased - with 530 reports of children harmed over the last 12 months.”

For Act Minister Chhour to present another picture is dishonest and callous. #nzpol

Comparatives basic primary teacher salary scale range in NZD:
NZ 61,329 - 103,086
AUS 96,713 - 161,312
UK 90,011 - 139,560
SINGAPORE 74,028 - 128,739
IRELAND 85,613 - 165,363
Other countries clearly value their teachers more through their remuneration.

Getting to a point where opposition need to be attacking whatever National's strengths are meant to be - because attacking Luxon is just free hits right now. And the uptick in negative media coverage of Luxon seems to be driven from inside the house - targeting him serves the new right.

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is promising his party's proposed $100 billion 'future fund' will not be paid for with asset sales, but may involve cutting taxes for offshore investors.

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is promising his party's proposed $100 billion 'future fund' will not be paid for with asset sales, but may involve cutting taxes for offshore investors.

Labour Future Fund and NZ First Fund are very different - Winston's version was about cutting taxes for offshore investors and bringing more foreign capital in.

Labour's is based on NZ capital, generating returns for Kiwis and protecting asset - I'm surprised no media has picked it up

So the Prime Ministers new attack on teachers is their 12 weeks of school holidays which we all know many teachers work through.

Regardless. NZ Parliament has 20+ weeks of recess each year including a far longer summer break than most professions including teaching!!!

Winston threatened journalists, Seymour said RNZ's budget was cut to "teach them a lesson," Goldsmith low key threatened our national broadcaster. And now they're all crying because Sean Plunket might be subject to basic scrutiny. It's becoming so farcical, it feels like we're in a sketch #nzpol

This should never have been a vote, but isn't it interesting that if this was a nationwide referendum the racists would lose?

Te Pāti Māori accuses government, media of 'constant attack' on Treaty of Waitangi Co-leader Rawiri Waititi pointed the finger during a blistering speech in Parliament.

ICYMI

"Waititi said the government and media had engaged in a "constant attack" on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, pointing to "14 inquiries in the last 18 months into Māori organisations".

"Not a single allegation was upheld... Where are the apologies? That silence speaks volumes."

Government’s books show finance minister borrowing billions to keep the lights on Treasury has revealed the state of the Government’s finances and it shows we’re borrowing just to keep the lights on.

It's unbelievable that this article

"Government’s books show finance minister borrowing billions to keep the lights on"

does not once mention the $12to$14Billion tax cut cost they are borrowing to cover, nor the Billions they stole from Pay Equity Fund #NZPol
