The 2017 Election Thread

[Woodman]

The plane could have been used for whatever the hell came up. This is something unplanned for and completely unnecessary... it's hardly likely that Cindy will bring anything worthwhile to the proceedings anyway... smile and wave, smile and wave. Hell they could have sent Kelvin Davis to hold Winnie's hand if they didn't trust the prick on his own

Here's the hourly direct operating costs of the plane...

Cindy owes us $125k as well as the six weeks holiday on a salary of $500k plus the second rate job she's doing as PM... smile and wave, smile and wave.

The crew get extra training, and they are getting paid whether they are flying the plane or sitting in their barracks having wanking competitions
. How much extra has it cost over and above just normal ops?

Dunno, but since cost isn't a factor and it's apparently used for fuck all else I've got dibs on the plane and crew for an event of vital importance in Hawaii next month.

Every single cent was wasted on her vanity.

We've been lucky over the last eighteen years with PM's who operated at a very high level (whether you liked them or not they were both smart and efficient) and now we're lumbered with a government of mediocrities at best. Ardern is an utter plodder. Winston's a crook and the Greens are busy rescuing "cunt"

$26,000,000 dollars for a new flag that never flew. Could have flown to Nauru and back 325 times.

It wasn't on Vanity it was on account of her daughter being too young to get the needed Vaccinations to travel with her.
She is attending a pacific forum leaders meeting.
Interestingly enough even if she had of gone on the earlier flight it would have had to leave the island anyway as there isnt enough room on the island to store the aircraft.
the closest island it was scheduled to go to was the Marshalls island a 2 hour return trip.

The prime minister could not go for the longer period as her 11-week-old daughter, Neve, is too young to be given the appropriate vaccinations for the trip and, thus, could not travel with her."Weighing up the logistics around travel I asked officials to check what the extra costs I would be imposing on the crown would be if I were to travel separately," Ardern said.
"They assured me that because of the 757 not being able to remain on Nauru anyway, but having to leave the island so other planes could come in and depart - and also the fact that if it wasn't flying there it would be taking up an hour somewhere else anyway, then on balance I decided it was worth me travelling.The original plan was to send the plane to the Marshall Islands an hour's flight away to get it off Nauru."
Ardern noted that the incident was somewhat unique while her daughter was so young and she didn't anticipate it happening again.
"This is a unique set of circumstances, I don't anticipate being in the situation again."
She is intending to take Neve with her on a trip to New York this month for the United Nations General Assembly meeting".

Hahaha, that's gold!

See post 2635.
That is my point. All the blather on here and from the likes of the harold claiming her having a sprog won't make any difference, now here is a bill for at least $80k directly attributable to her having a new baby. Pretty sure this will be one of many extra new PM baby taxes you lot will have to foot.


As a side note, how come the sprog couldn't stay with Gaylord the house hubby?

it not even a fraction of 80K as the flight had to leave the island anyway as the runway cant store the plane and the crew had to be paid regardless.
Its hardly a huge issue considering its only on account of the baby being to young to get the required vaccinations to travel to Nararu
The house hubby cant make enough breast milk for the extra 2 days.
On a side note how much does Trumps flying down on Airforce one to play golf cost the US.Thus far $55 Million US https://www.cheatsheet.com/money-car...ant-cost.html/

or how much in severance for the 37% staff turnover he has? even with all the staff receiving significant raises? https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...8-7/?r=AU&IR=T

Or the 75 Million USD thus far as his wife chooses not to live with him? thats 100K a day http://Melania Trump's security deta...$100,000 a day
plus add in the US secret service cost for melaina choosing not to live with the oath of $175000 a day on top.

Their reason initially given is that Baron had to finish the schooling term, his age 10 years old.........
Dont they have schools in WASHINGTON?

1) I, for one - and I suspect there are others, are happy to pay it .. we are not all greedy self-serving cunts like you seem to be. Greed was never what New Zealand was about - until the rich pricks took over ..

2) The baby DID NOT travel with her - that is the fucking point - the baby is too young to get the required vaccines ... so she stayed home with Gaylord ... Jacinda traveled separately so she spent as short a time as possible away from the baby ..

3) Sheesh you can be dumb sometimes ..

The plane is down as a 19 seater, that's in VIP trim, it is in fact a 228 seat commercial aircraft in passenger trim.
But I'm sure everyone knows what a 757 looks like.
If she had taken an aircraft of the appropriate size it could have stayed put.
She's riding a gravy train with biscuit wheels.

There is no other flights dude
Its a tiny island in the middle of an ocean check the schedule.
The PM cant fly on Quantas or AIr Nararu or anything anyway it has to be a NZ plane. think about it.
No one has denied its a 757.
If she had taken another ariircraft there still would have been another flight to pick up the rest. it still would have been a separate flight to take her their.
Shes the PM, she also has a vagina so deal with it. You do like vaginas don't you?

[pritch]

Our budget air farce doesn't have a selection of aircraft for any given purpose. When Helen was PM they couldn't even get there and back without breaking down.

Once somebody was whinging about the expense of an aerial search for a missing yacht. I made the point that the primary role of those aircraft is anti submarine warfare which involves looking for small objects in a large ocean. Searching for lost yachts is more meaningful training than another exercise looking for an imaginary submarine.

In this case the pilots are glorified bus drivers and the PMs jaunt will provide additional training. It will, of course, also boost the hours of the crew so that they can get a job with Air NZ that much sooner.

I fairly sure a short Google search could turn up half a dozen private NZ operators with an appropriate charter aircraft fit for purpose, but hey, as you said, she's got a vagina.
Oh, and why does it have to be a NZ aircraft again? Don't the others work when she is in them?
Wouldn't it have worked out cheaper to fly all the required residents of Naru to NZ for some kind of catch up that could have taken place on Whatsapp? Or is that too obvious?
I mean it's them that don't have the infrastructure, not us.
