The 2017 Election Thread

Now she doesn't even know what GDP is! You couldn't make this shit up.

She wasn't elected because she was smart or the most voted for.
She was elected because people preferred how she looked & talked compared to her polling at fuck all predecessor who had the identical policies.
And the fact that she was prepared to jump into bed with a megalomaniac pensioner she has no control over.
Christ, I rent a site to a telco & need to know what GDP is & how it works.
I suspect English wasn't interested in playing bridesmaid to a low polling candidate.

It's laughable that Key was derided because of his "horrible, false smile" yet the tooth monster has now got "horrible, false and inept" to hide behind all that ivory.

Funny considering Simon Bridges couldn't remember his deputies name a couple of weeks ago.


Then again Paula benefit (nations current deputy leader)stating the increase in homeless people on her watch was a positive thing was petty inspirational

Even comrade Trotter wonders WTF is happening... "No Substance To Her Stardust: Has Jacinda Lost The Magic?"

Even the true believers on The Daily Blog are in sackcloth and ashes Never mind at least the Greens are doing their best, launching a rescue mission to save the C word for husaberk.

It's not hard to imagine this death spiral driving The Greens and Winston First below 5% and then Cindy's back to the chippy!

[husaberg]

a rescue mission to save the C word for husaberg.

C word........... Dude the real letter is G.
G for who is in Government.

I'm quite enjoying old Winnies antics. She hasn't got a hope in hell of ever getting the better of him in any sort of faceoff.

And that's the sad thing, he should be helping & mentoring her, not trying to get the better of her.
Also. The Govt need to read the rule book before picking up hammer & nails lest they mess it up.

$380,000 for 38sq mtr is $10,000 a sq mtr, plus $45,000 for a car park, Wtf, who is shafting who? I can put up a quality, durable, hi stud industrial building for just over $2000/sq mtr including land, wich with an inexpensive fit out could house ten families in a bigger area each with a 38sq mtr car park each, included.

Only People want real apartments in Hobson point to buy, not hypothetical unfitted out industrial ones.
National never built much of anything only bridges with uncertified steel, Hopitials that are years behind schedule and other massive rourts by Fletchers

But it's not hypothetical. I'm not talking about what I could if I wanted to.
Forgetting your red herrings of what the last govt may or may not have done, the real issue is what's up with the sq mtr rate & the total fuck up of the floor size, even after Twyford had flash luncheons with said banks?
Also, hopefully these developments have fantastic public transport, as it seems the car park is optional. Or is that just a ploy to make a $ 430,000 38 sq mtr dog box look a little less like some kind of govt rort.
I have just done a deal on selling a house in apparently one of NZ's most unaffordable citys that's ten times the size of those "converted garages" for under three times the price, complete with huge yard, garage & pool. This shit needs investigating.

Yeah, it'd be half that too, if you could buy materials for something approaching a reasonable price. You still couldn't do it for that price in Orks though, the monopoly on land development remains.

The whole tiny house thing is a pathetic effort, really, but it's what happens when you attempt to prove that having taxpayers pay for other people's houses is a viable concept. Consistent, though, they believe the taxpayer should pay for everything else. But pretending this is some sort of solution to the "Housing Crisis"(tm) is just pathetic.

However, I'd rather Collins didn't play the Labour game in blaming Labour for exactly the same thing:

Kiwi families deserve a home, not a measly studio apartment only big enough for a single person and their car

Kiwi families deserve exactly what they earn, anything else is bullshit.

I see that the media have cottoned on to their ploy of releasing bad news on Friday, hoping that it gets forgotten by the public over the weekend.

The use of the word 'their' is not entirely appropriate. The late Friday news dump has long been a favourite ploy of politicians from all countries. Well, those countries that actually permit news.

Apparently Derek Handley had moved his entire family out here from New York for that job that Cindy reckoned he'd only made the short list for. No wonder she had to fork out 100K of our money to cover for her incompetence. She's a little fibber

It is hypothetical because none of your costing are for a fitted out home in Hobsonville point.
Your cost doesn't include the land nor the cost of building in that sesspit of the south Pacific.

There seems to be a bit of discrepancy in your posts.

Older people should be encouraged to continue doing whatever they fucking want with their own property/money.
Also: if they DID want to buy a small place, somewhere within scooter distance of town and built with modern materials then they'd find it fucking difficult finding anything. The best I could do was to downsize from 340sqM to 260sqM, there just haven't been any small places built in the last couple of decades, the council/developer rort simply doesn't allow for them.

Not that I'm old. Cunt.

Only inside your head.
