An opinion piece by Duncan Garner on the self grandiose title of “transformational” government.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/113328146/my-red-black-and-green-test-for-this-government
“It was one of those things that’s said in Opposition and repeated in Government: “transformational”. Be careful promising the earth if you can’t deliver. Put it down to inexperience, naivety, and all those other words meaning the same thing.”
I would like to think that Duncan has ‘woken’ up but I do not believe it for a minute, happy to be proven wrong though.
We covered up the Youth camp groper incident because we were being victim-centred.
The impact of the Oil and Gas Ban was signalled to the government. There is a significant cost to New Zealand and to Taranaki ranging into the billions of dollars in lost revenue. It is estimated to be roughly $28,000,000,000, or the equivalent of buying 43,000 KiwiBuild homes in Auckland and gifting them to people. NZIER has done the research and have even factored in changes to our export industry, cost increases, etc. It’s worth reading their document in full to understand the economic harm our Government has done.
But when you read the MBIE warnings to Megan Woods and the government it gets worse. The cons they raised to the government:
And some of the comments they made in their document:
As you can see, despite what Jacinda Ardern has claimed the likely impact is going to be a worsening of global emissions. And our officials have warned this stupid coalition of liars that this is likely going to happen. Quoting one of the articles on it:
“negligible impact” on reducing domestic greenhouse emissions and would “likely increase” global emissions as the methanol produced by Methanex using gas from New Zealand would be replaced by methanol produced using coal in China
I mean, you’re offloading the same energy production to China. Do you really, honestly expect China to follow the same rigorous process as we do here in New Zealand?
With one of their keystone captain’s call policies, Jacinda Ardern has deceived New Zealand and the world.
Some reference links for you guys:

Beehive Block Offer Release
I can’t quote but in one of the debates Silly Little Lying Cindy said you can get by in politics without lying…..
It was in a Leaders’ Debate. Whaleoil has it up on YouTube, see here.
And she said it with a straight face…Absoludely!
Could have also called this ‘Without a word of a lie’. I have just sent that off to my facebook feed headed with that.
All her years in and around government, she can’t have done anything much then.
Derek Handley just happened to make a completely unsolicited phone call.
And if you are after the facts, you can find Derek Handley’s release of timeline, communications, etc. here in a reasonably structured format. He voluntarily released this two days before our open and transparent government, who put together a dump of all information to try and hide it in volume that you can find here.
As to this statement:
Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: My best recollection is that I received, some months ago, a text from Mr Handley mentioning the CTO role, which I do not recall directly engaging with as that would not have been appropriate. (From Hansard, here)
There was discussion with Derek Handley prior; telling him she’d “talk to the team about how we can make use of you and your kind offer”. Also, in response to him asking about the CTO role and being able to send her some starting thoughts, she sent him her email address.
Richie Hardcore just happened to make a completely unsolicited phone call.
I agree, it stinks like Surströmming but apart from the text message Hardcore sent Ardern there’s not a lot of solid proof on this one.
I don’t think you’d send such a personal seeming text to an elected official if you weren’t reasonably familiar with them. Using the Immigration Ministers’ first name, etc. suggests there is a much closer relationship than what is declared publicly. But how do you prove that?
The whole Stroubek saga is a very good example of how the Labour Party appears to protect friends and family. There was no logical reason for Ian Lees-Galloway to rescind the deportation order in-place and grant him such a massive boon. There was no reason for Mike Bush to come out and make the statements he did and he’s made no other statements like that.
If you do what the Prime Minister requested and read between the lines though, yeah. It all smells like a 6 month fermented herring.
Lee’s-Galloway gave the Sroubek matter his deepest consideration.
And hadn’t discussed it with Jacinda first.
Well, apparently he spent 45 minutes on the documentation and the decision.
There’s a 12 page summary in the documentation. With an average of 500 words per page (Standard, 12 point font, A4 page, single spaced) and an average adult reading speed of 300 words per minute it would have taken him approximately 12 minutes just to review the summary. There are “hundreds” of pages in the full document.
It can’t really be argued that when making a decision to cancel a deportation order for a known criminal currently in prison that spending 25 – 45 minutes on it would count as “deepest consideration“.
One day hopefully we’ll find out what lies in Area 51 and why Ian Lees-Galloway made that decision so quickly and why our honest Prime Minister has not actually reprimanded him for this.
Whoops, too many 12s. That should be “20 minutes just to review the summary“.
And don’t forget Winston knew all about it and assured us ILG had made the right decision, until it was evident WP didn’t know Sroubek was a criminal.
Then there’s the patronising comment from SLG that the right decision had been made because “read between the lines”
And haven’t we all read between the lines!
Grant Robertson does not have an $11 billion hole
All of him isn’t worth that much, so I imagine his hole, as a sum of his parts is worth zero.
Not to Alfie…
Someone take the shovel off Grant. His fiscal hole is half way to China by now. ?
Winston Churchill describes Cindy and the CoL’s inabilty to tell the truth:
“Terminological inexactitude”.
No strikes under my watch, no new taxes, nine years of neglect. I knew we had the numbers ( day one in the house)
“IT IS NOT A TAX, IT IS AN EXCISE…”
Sounds better than exercise.
The Minister for Open and Transparent Government just happened to bump into Carol Hirschfield in the gym gear and bought her a coffee to be kind.
Yep! No pockets in lyca!
“Year of Delivery” “We will build 1000 houses per year” “I don’t know why the Kiwibuild CEO resigned” “Climate change is my generation’s nuclear free moment” “Landlords will absorb any costs this Govt imposes on them” “We will end child poverty”
Banning ownership of semi automatic firearms (by the law abiding, licenced sporting shooters) will make us safer.
If that little boy with his one finger in the air is making a statement about how many things Ardern and Robinson have not F—-D up over the last 19 months he’s a lying little shit as well because there are actually ZERO.
no He’s saying fuck you Cindy for all your lies.
Looks ‘unruly’, lol.
Probably Australian – oh, is that hate speech?
No surprises there!
UK weren’t they? As if we have to import arseholes, we have our own, does any one know how much Australia is going to increase our population by as they empty their jails of NZers.
Andrew Little for Law and Order, a lie?
“Post any examples of All our political lies.”
Anything and everything said by any member, employee or supporter of the CoL.
Could you be more precise please? As that covers everything, it sort of killed the thread for the last couple of hours lol.
Tracey Martin:- “Kingi vouched for Wally Haumaha on LinkedIn 16 years ago”
Problem? – LinkedIn did not have that facility 16 years ago !
Cindy:- “A true mark of leadership is whether you front those mistakes”
Reality:- Bury it quickly, like the Youth Camp predator
Mega Fightery:- “I did not lay hands upon that woman”
Fail Twitford:- “We have applied an additionality test to KiwiBuild underwrites”
Trevor mallard is an independent Speaker of the House? Said no-one ever.
And here’s a laugh to finish the day:

Ardern has not shown much of an appetite to demand Zuckerberg’s presence at any sort of committee in New Zealand, saying she is “not interested in a PR exercise”.
Yes Ms Ardern – we wouldn’t want a PR exercise now, would we!
Pfft
